BIRDS OF A FEATHER: CAIN ENDORSES GINGRICH

TWO PHILANDERERS. PERFECT.

AND NEWT'S MOON-BASE IS AS RATIONAL AS WELL-THOUGHT OUT AS CAIN'S 999 PLAN.

TWO MEN TOTALLY UNSUITED FOR THE OFFICE.

THEY BELONG TOGETHER.

IN A SIDE-SHOW.

ANATOMY OF ATTACKS: MITT'S ANCIENT HISTORY VERSUS NEWT'S RECENT HISTORY, AND CONSTANT PATTERN

NEWTNUTZ FREQUENTLY CITE THINGS MITT SAID IN THE 1990'S TO PROVE HE IS A LIB.

ALL THIS REALLY PROVES IS THAT MITT HAS STEADILY MORE CONSERVATIVE SINCE THE 1990'S.

MANY OF NEWT'S MAJOR PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURRED AS RECENTLY AS 2008:

• HE MADE A PRO-AGW TV COMMERCIAL WITH PELOSI 
• AND MADE A MILLION BUCKS SHILLING FOR FREDDIE MAC 
• AND ENDORSED DEDE SCOZZAFAVA IN 2009 - 
• WHILE MITT WAS ENDORSING AYOTTE AND HALEY AND WAS THE FIRST TO ENDORSE RUBIO.

YES, NEWTNUTZ: THERE IS ROMNEYCARE TO CONSIDER...

• ROMNEYCARE WAS PASSED IN 2006. TWO YEARS BEFORE HE WAS ENDORSED BY RUSH AND HANNITY AND LEVIN BECAUSE HE WAS TO THE RIGHT OF MCCAIN.

• ROMNEYCARE IS ALL OF 70 PAGES - NOTHING LIKE THE 2700 PAGE OBAMACARE.

• I THINK ROMNEYCARE IMMUNIZES ROMNEY FROM MEDISCARE TACTICS AND MAKES HIM THE MOST ATTRACTIVE CANDIDATE TO APPEAL TO CENTRISTS, MODERATES AND INDEPENDENTS WHO MIGHT OTHERWISE BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO SCARE TACTICS ON HEALTHCARE ISSUES.

• BECAUSE OF ROMNEYCARE, WHEN MITT SAYS HE WILL REPEAL OBAMACARE HE CANNOT BE PIGEON-HOLED BY THE LEFT AS AN UNCARING RETHUGLICAN WHO WANTS POOR PROPLE TO GET SICK AND DIE.

NEWT IS A CAREER POLITICIAN WHO TURNED HIS POLITICAL CONTACTS INTO A LOBBYING BUSINESS.

AS SUCH HE REPRESENTS THE WORST OF THE WORST. IF NEWT AIN'T A WASHINGTON INSIDER THAN NOBODY IS!

UNLIKE CLINTON WHOSE FOUNDATION DOES BIG PROJECTS GLOBALLY, NEWT HASN'T REALLY ACCOMPLISHED A DAMN THING SINCE LEAVING OFFICE. AND HE WAS #2 IN THE USA TO CLINTON FOR 4 YEARS.

MEANWHILE, MITT WAS AN EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MA WHO WAS TITHING, AND GIVING MILLIONS TO CHARITY AND SACRIFICED 3 YEARS OF HIS BUSINESS LIFE TO SAVE THE UTAH WINTER OLYMPICS AND HE WAS A GREAT POPULAR PRO-LIFE  GOVERNOR IN TH BLUEST STATE IN THE UNION.

WHILE NOT PHILANDERING AND NOT LOBBYING AND NOT MAKING A TV COMMERCIAL WITH PELOSI AND NOT ENDORSING PARTY HACKS LIKE SCOZZAFAVA.

MITT HAS BEEN STEADILY MOVING RIGHT IN A PRINCIPLED WAY, WHILE NEWT IS ALL OVER THE DAMN PLACE - ERRATIC, MERCURIAL, AND UNRELIABLE, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT HE'LL SAY NEXT AND WHAT HORNET'S NEST HE WILL STIR UP. THAT AIN'T PRESIDENTIAL.

I CHALLENGE ANY AND ALL NEWTNUTZ TO CORRECT ME ON ANY IF THESE POINTS AND PROVE TO ME WHY THE SERIAL ADULTERER AND SCOZZAFAVA ENDORSING PRO-PELOSI GINGRICH - WHO HAS 1/5TH AS MANY THE CONGRESSIONAL ENDORSEMENTS AS MITT - WOULD BE A BETTER MAN TO BE THE STANDARD-BEARER FOIR THE GOP AND WIN THE WHITE HOUSE.

BTW: THERE IS NOT ONE SINGLE SOLITARY POLL WHICH SHOWS NEWT DOING BETTER THAN MITT DOES AGAINST OBAMA.


THAT MEANS AS MUCH AS ANYTHING!


BOTTOM-LINE: I SAY, MAY THE BEST MAN WIN! AND IT'S CLEAR TO ME WHO IS THE BETTER MAN. IT AIN'T EVEN CLOSE.

ASSOCIATES OF RON PAUL TELL THAT HE PERSONALLY SIGNED OFF ON RACIST NEWSLETTERS

Still more damning info comes in on the distasteful Congressman. First, there's news that his site has been distributing and publicizing the anti-Jewish monstrosity called Protocols of the Elders of Zion for the past 3 years (via PJ Tatler):

The website for “Campaign for Liberty”, an organization started by “Republican” anti-Israel Presidential candidate Ron Paul, has, since late 2008, been featuring a page offering the opportunity to purchase the notorious forged anti-Semitic book The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.

As word spreads of this, inevitably Paul’s campaign will take down the page and claim the situation was a mere innocent mistake with which Paul (who of course hopes to lend his managerial skills to the entire nation) had nothing to do, a la the controversy over his newsletters in the 1990s. This of course despite the fact that the page with the link has now been up for over three years.

It's now indeed been taken down, but both above sites that spoke about this have a screenshot available of the page. More on the subject here too.

Next, there comes word from the Wash. Post (also via PJ Tatler) that Paul knew about the racist newsletters, because he personally signed off on them:

But people close to Paul’s operations said he was deeply involved in the company that produced the newsletters, Ron Paul & Associates, and closely monitored its operations, signing off on articles and speaking to staff members virtually every day.

“It was his newsletter, and it was under his name, so he always got to see the final product. . . . He would proof it,’’ said Renae Hathway, a former secretary in Paul’s company and a supporter of the Texas congressman.

The newsletters point to a rarely seen and somewhat opaque side of Paul, who has surprised the political community by becoming an important factor in the Republican race. The candidate, who has presented himself as a kindly doctor and political truth-teller, declined in a recent debate to release his tax returns, joking that he would be “embarrassed” about his income compared with that of his richer GOP rivals.

IMHO, that's simply admitting he was a profiteer over some of the grimiest notions possible. Then there's this:

A person involved in Paul’s businesses, who spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid criticizing a former employer, said Paul and his associates decided in the late 1980s to try to increase sales by making the newsletters more provocative. They discussed adding controversial material, including racial statements, to help the business, the person said.

“It was playing on a growing racial tension, economic tension, fear of government,’’ said the person, who supports Paul’s economic policies but is not backing him for president. “I’m not saying Ron believed this stuff. It was good copy. Ron Paul is a shrewd businessman.’’

The articles included racial, anti-Semitic and anti-gay content. They claimed, for example, that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. “seduced underage girls and boys’’; they ridiculed black activists by suggesting that New York be named “Zooville” or “Lazyopolis”; and they said the 1992 Los Angeles riots ended “when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks.’’ The June 1990 edition of the Ron Paul Political Report included the statement: “Homosexuals, not to speak of the rest of society, were far better off when social pressure forced them to hide their activities.”

Paul's desecration of the memory of Dr. King is something that truly makes my blood boil. No sane person should ever get treatment from a so-called physician like Paul if he's going to even publish that kind of abominable dreck.

IS PALIN A BIGOT?

Palin has accused those critical of Newt as trying to "crucify" him.

I think this choice of words reveal that this is a sly and bigoted attempt by the evangelical Palin to deter her fanatical fans from voting for the Mormon in the race.

Palin has criticized "the establishment" - (whoever that is?!) - for slinging mud at Gingrich - as if telling the truth about this erratic, mercurial, unprincipled serial adulterer who was hated in his own caucus was slinging mud.

WHEN GINGRICH ENDORSED DEDE SCOZZAFAVA, WAS NEWT BEING ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT? Hardly.

WHEN HE LOBBIED FOR FREDDIE MAC, WAS HE BEING ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT? Not at all.

Molinari and Bachmann and Santorum have all HARSHLY criticized Newt and refused to endorse him, and none are "establishment" - neither is Bolton or Issa or Coulter. Palin's charge is ludicrous.

Palin used to stand against lobbyists and career politicians who did their bidding and then became lobbyists. Now she's defending one. She's defending one who's running against a man who spent most of his life in the private sector  - except when he was Governor and running a non-profit... the Winter Olympics of Utah.

THAT'S COMPLETELY UNPRINCIPLED OF PALIN:

SHE'S TURNING HER BACK ON EVERYTHING SHE HAS STOOD FOR. TO DEFEND NEWT: A SERIAL ADULTERER WHO MADE A TV COMMERCIAL WITH PELOSI ONLY A FEW YEARS AGO!

Palin ran with and endorsed Senator McCain - who is well to the left of Mitt.


But now she slyly attacks Mitt and virtually endorses NEWT. I could understand her better if she was endorsing Santorum, who at least is clean and principled. BUT NEWT?!?!?!?!?!?!


The only explanation can thin of is that Palin is bigoted against Mormons.

Palin is off my list, now.


I would NOT support her if she was running for dog-catcher - or mayor of Wasilla.


(I might support her though for one job: Mayor of Newt's Moon colony!)

MORE PROOF THAT IT'S A SMALL STEP FROM LEFT-WING UPPERWEST SIDE PSEUDO-ECUMENICALISM TO SUPPORTING JIHAD

In the last five years, the Arab-American Association of New York, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in December, has quintupled its budget to a half-million dollars, drawn from individual donations and foundation support from the likes of the New York Foundation, the Union Square Awards, and the Brooklyn Community Foundation. It is the front line of American acculturation, if not integration, for tens of thousands of ESL-hungry Arab immigrants from Palestine, Morocco, Algeria, and beyond. The organization plays more or less the role that Abraham Cahan’s Forward played for the immigrants of Eastern Europe a century ago. 

The executive director of the organization is Linda Sarsour, 31, a Palestinian-American mother of three who wears the hijab and plans to become the first Arab-American on the New York City Council when she runs in 2017, after the local seat opens up. Sarsour, who took over the organization in 2005 and has raised its profile tremendously—she was honored in December as one of 10 Champions of Change by the White House—travels a lot on behalf of the association. The young woman who runs the association day to day, juggling budget memos, the census, and calls from the BBC is all of 24 years old. Her name is Jennie Goldstein, and she is a Jew from the Upper West Side. 

“Everything without precedent, or controversial—it lands on my desk,” Goldstein explained when we met. “When Linda’s out, I’m the last answer. I make it rain.”

*** 

Goldstein has blue eyes and dirty blonde hair, a startling sight among the hijabs worn by the other female staffers. The organization occupies what was once an obstetrician’s office, which explains the waiting area out front and its maze of small, fluorescent-lit rooms. Goldstein’s office is festooned with a poster of a Palestinian hip-hop band and a sign from a protest of the NYPD earlier this month. (“#wtfnypd,” she scrawled on it in Magic Marker as I stood there.) 

Goldstein joined the Arab-American Association in 2009 through AmeriCorps after graduating from Middlebury, where she studied international economics. “When I was offered the position, I thought, ‘hell yes,’ ” she told me. “I had seen the posting on the Middlebury career services site, and I just knew that it was my job. I didn’t speak Arabic, but I could wrangle large groups of people. I didn’t come here because I’m a rabble-rousing activist. My interest was in community building. In college, I had to persuade you to come see the band. Here, people are bursting through the door asking for services. It was a real mandate. But it’s been scary to build services you’re not a part of.” 

Goldstein’s father is Jewish and her mother is Protestant. Growing up on the Upper West Side, she lit candles for Shabbat on Fridays; she went to church with her mother on Sundays. Being raised by parents of different faiths never confused her because she was never asked to keep anything straight. She accompanied her mother on Sundays because she liked being with her, and she memorized the Lord’s Prayer as a 6-year-old because it “was part of the vernacular of educated people that I wanted to know.” 

But she was given enough to go on: The family split what she called “the three major Jewish holidays”—Passover, Rosh Hashanah, and Thanksgiving, she explained with a laugh—between her father’s brothers. On Yom Kippur, Goldstein would fast with her best friend, who was also half-Jewish. “School was closed, so we’d go to Macy’s and try on clothes because we felt skinny because we were fasting,” she said. “And then we’d go to a Jewish deli on the Upper West Side and eat dinner.” Her mother was usually the one who harassed her father to light candles on Friday night. “For my mother, the point of religious tradition is tradition. That’s more important than which exact code of ethics it is. As a kid, I saw the church as a community center.”

AHISTORICAL AND AMORAL.

SHOPPING ON YOM KIPPUR WHILE FASTING?!?!

AMORAL AND AHISTORICAL.

CONFUSED.

LEFTIST AND NOW DUPE OF SHARIA AND JIHAD.

SHE IS TECHNICALLY NOT A JEW, AND MORALLY NOT A JEW OR EVEN A WESTERNER.

SH IS MOSTLY A POSTMODERNIST.

AND A TOOL OF JIHAD.

MCCAIN COMES UP WITH A MOON PROGRAM I CAN SUPPORT

HILARIOUS VIDEO OF MCCAIN CAMPAIGNING FOR ROMNEY IN FLORIDA.

EXPLAINING COULTER TO NEWT

The Right Scoop 

Newt: “I have no idea what motivates Ann Coulter” 

28 minutes ago

ER, UM.... LET ME MAKE IT EASY FOR YOU NEWT:

SHE DOESN'T WANT A REPLAY OF DELAWARE/O'DONNELL OR NEVADA/ANGLE ON A NATIONAL SCALE BECAUSE WANTS TO WIN THE ELECTION.

NEWT REJECTED BY MOST OF THE GOP IN CONGRESS

THOSE WHO KNOW HIM BEST LIKE HIM LEAST:

Newt Gingrich’s former Republican colleagues in the House are more than a little nervous about the prospects of sharing a ticket with him in November.

While close to a dozen members of Congress have endorsed Gingrich, that figure is dramatically less than Mitt Romney, who’s been endorsed by roughly a quarter of the Republican conference. The bulk of them [Newt's endorsers] are from just two states, Georgia and Texas.

But Gingrich’s problem, his GOP congressional critics say, is less about how his style would play across regions than the likelihood that his mercurial personality could lead him to implode as a nominee, with the blowback burning Republicans up and down the ballot.

“With Newt as the nominee, everyday would be either excellent or awful. He’s an undisciplined messenger with huge baggage and abrasive to swing voters to boot. Newt’s our dream ticket to the minority,” said a conservative House Republican from the South. 

“He’ll snatch defeat from a winnable race in similar fashion to what Sharron Angle did with Harry Reid.”

NEWT IS PATHETIC AND WOULD LOSE TO OBAMA AND EVEN COST US THE HOUSE!

THE DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS ARE RUNNING AWAY FROM OBAMA.

IT WOULD BE NICE IF THE GOP NOMINATED A MAN THAT GOP CONGRESSMEN WOULDN'T HAVE TO RUN AWAY FROM, TOO!

NEWTNUTZ STILL DEFENDING THE INDEFENSIBLE

Donald has a post up about how Newtnutz are still defending that fat tub of anti-capitalist pro-Pelosi lard.

Mark Levin Slams Newt Gingrich Attackers! 

My goodness. 

This is a vociferous rant, via Legal Insurrection, "“If this is what the conservative movement has become, then count me out”"

Newt and Levin and Billy Jacobson (lawyer) can suck my wangdangdoodle all night long.


I think Newt's attacks on capitalism are absofreakinglutely UNFORGIVABLE.

Newtnutz and Newtrinos are living in an alternative universe if they think Newt's red-meat bs will work on the 10% of the electorate we need to defeat Obama.

Newtnutz - like Billy Jacobson of Legal Insurrection - who was a booster of Cain's idiotic 999 plan and now of Newt - and Levin SAY  they want to nominate the most conservative person in the race, and then support NEWT!?!?! WHO TRASHED CAPITALISM!? AND MAD ATV COMMERCIAL WITH PELOSI!?!?

Are Levin and Billy at Legal Insurrection right, but TOM DELAY, DOLE, ISSA, THUNE, AYOTTE, HALEY, COULTER AND BOLTON WRONG? No effing way. I'll, stand with the conservatives backing Mitt over the conservatives backing Newt any day of the week.

Kudlow, too is now firmly anti-Newt - and he knows Newt WELL... from the 1970's!

Why do the Newtnutz forgive Newt on his MANY MANY inconsistencies but not Mitt at all? There's no logical or principled explanation. It's BULLSHIT. DANGEROUS BULLSHIT BECAUSE IF NEWT WINS THE NOMINATION OBAMA WILL WIN RE-ELECTION. The polls all still show this.

Newt has huge negatives - and they've embedded in most of the electorate for decades.

Newt might've convinced some on the right that he is a Nu-NEWT -  until his attacks on capitalism.

Delay, Dole, Molinari and Santorum all served with Newt and none have nice things to say about him as a steady reliable leader - or a steady reliable conservative.

I used to love to listen to Mark Levin, but I can't stand listening to him now and all his pro-Cain and pro-Newt bs.

Cain and Newt could never defeat Obama. Cain's 999 and Newt's Moon base are laughable crap. IDIOTIC bs.

It's unbearable to me and I'm a very conservative person.

That bs will not win Newt a single independent vote in the general election.

I live in the People's Republic of Manhattan and my lib friends are salivating at the prospect of a Newt candidacy. Positively GIDDY!

As is Obama and Soros and Axelrod.

Thanks to G-d that Mitt leads in Florida

Besides, Newt would lose big to Obama:

Gingrich weakest against Obama 

Romney fares best against the president, trailing Obama by six points among registered voters, 49 percent to 43 percent. That’s a four-point improvement for the president from a month ago. 

Obama, however, beats Gingrich by a whopping 18 points, 55-37 percent, expanding the president’s 11-point lead a month ago. 

Santorum also loses to Obama, but by a narrower margin, 53-38 percent, than Gingrich. 

... "Gingrich is Goldwater," said Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart, who conducted the survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff. "In the general election, Gingrich not only takes down his ship, he takes down the whole flotilla."

THERE'S NOT A SINGLE REASONABLE CENTRIST OR LIB I KNOW WHO WOULD VOTE NEWT.

MANY WOULD THINK TWICE ABOUT VOTING OBAMA IF MITT WAS THE GOP STANDARD-BEARER: THEY LIKE HIS EXPERIENCE AND INTELLIGENCE AND TEMPERAMENT.

MITT'S PRESIDENTIAL.

NEWT'S NOT.

I PRAY MITT WINS FLA.

ANOTHER OBAMA-BACKED GREEN COMPANY GOES BELLY UP

From ABC News:

The parent company of an electric car battery maker that received more than $100 million in government funding from the Obama administration has filed for bankruptcy protection, the company announced Thursday.

[...]

EnerDel, a subsidiary of Ener1 dedicated to making batteries for electric cars, was awarded a $118 million grant from the Energy Department in 2009 as part of President Obama's economic stimulus package and green energy push...

More fleecing of the American taxpayer at a time when our economy is in dire straits.

AMERICANS CONCERNED ABOUT IRAN

The Weekly Standard found a Pew Research poll that finds many people consider Iran the most dangerous threat to the US, and the numbers polled have doubled since last year. I'm very glad to see that many Americans understand the threat Ahmedinejad's dictatorship poses to the safety of the globe.

"INCREASING INCOME INEQUALITY" IS A HOAX - AND THE PEOPLE KNOW IT

GALLUP VIA DINOCRAT:

What do you think is the most important problem facing this country today? [Open-ended]

Recent trend:	Jan 5-8, 2012	Dec 15-18, 2011	Nov 3-6, 2011
	%	%	%
ECONOMIC PROBLEMS (NET)	66	64	76
Economy in general	31	26	30
Unemployment/Jobs	26	25	36
Federal budget deficit/Federal debt	8	12	6
Lack of money	3	4	6
Gap between rich and poor	2	1	1

FACT: INCOME INEQUALITY HASN'T CHANGED SINCE 1986.

FACT: THE WEALTHY WERE ACTUALLY HARDEST HIT BY THE RECENT CRASH AND RECESSION - LOSING A MUCH HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF THEIR WEALTH THAN MIDDLE INCOME OR LOW INCOME PEOPLE.

THAT'S WHY CLASS WARFARE WON'T WORK FOR OBAMA - IT'S A HOAX THE PEOPLE AREN'T BUYING.

INSTAPUNDIT RELATES HOW ALTER IS OBAMA'S #1 POODLE IN THE PRESS. HERE'S WHY ALTER IS...

GLENN:

PETER WEHNER: “It’s stiff competition, but arguably Barack Obama’s chief courtier in the press is Jonathan Alter.” ... Posted by Glenn Reynolds at 6:47 pm

HERE'S WHY: 

Alter's mother was part of the Chicago Machine.

AND THIS: 

Before the 1972 election, Alter went before the late Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, and told him it was time he opened the Democratic Party to women. As founder of the Illinois Women's Political Caucus, she offered him a list of 32 qualified women candidates that did not include herself. Daley, moving to defuse the gender issue, responded by slating Alter to run for Trustee of the Metropolitan Sanitary District (now Commissioner of the Water Reclamation District).

SHE DIDN'T TAKE HER FEMINIST CAMPAIGN TO THE STREETS; SHE WAS NOT A GRASSROOTS FEMINIST.

SHE WENT TO DALEY, AND HE HANDED HER A PLUM PATRONAGE JOB IN RETURN FOR HER LANDING THE MACHINE MORE FEMINIST VOTERS.

SHE WORKED FOR THE MACHINE.

JUST LIKE OBAMA.

HER SON JONATHAN WORKS FOR THE MACHINE TOO - IN THE PR DEPARTMENT, AKA THE LEGACY MEDIA.

68 AND OVERWEIGHT NEWT GINGRICH PROMISES TO RELEASE HIS MEDICAL RECORDS - COINCIDENTALLY... AS I DEMANDED YESTERDAY

YESTERDAY I POSTED THIS:

SHOULDN'T THE CHUBBY 68 YR OLD NEWT RELEASE HIS MEDICAL RECORDS BEFORE TH FLORIDA PRIMARY?

Newt is 68 and overweight.WE SHOULD KNOW IF HE IS HEALTHY BEFORE THE NEXT VOTE TAKES PLACE.Posted by Reliapundit at 12:04 PM

JUST LIKE OBAMA: FRENCH SOCIALIST PARTY CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENCY: "LET'S RAISE TAXES ON THE RICH TO PAY FOR DEFICIT"

French presidential candidate Francois Hollande unveils manifesto: 

The Socialist presidential candidate in France has set out his election policies, saying he would target the rich to tackle the country's budget deficit and fund spending plans.

HMMM IT'S UNCANNY HOW SIMILAR THAT IS TO OBAMA'S PLAN.

GEE... I WONDER WHY?

COULD IT BE THAT OBAMA IS ALSO A SOCIALIST?

YUP.

THIS EXPLAINS A LOT: 16kg (35.5lb) of cocaine was found at the United Nations headquarters in New York

The drugs were in a bag printed with a version of the UN symbol which arrived at the organisation's mailroom, setting off a security alert. 

Spokesman Paul Browne said they seemed to have been delivered by accident. 

There was no name or address on the shipment sent from Mexico City through Cincinnati, he added.

YEAH, THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT GOT THERE.

YEAH, SURE.

THE LINE THAT WON MITT THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE: "THE PROBLEM ISN'T THAT WE HAVE 11 MILLION GRANDMOTHERS HERE ILLEGALLY.")

NEWT KEPT TRYING TO FRAME HIS WEAK IMMIGRATION STANCE BY SAYING WE CAN'T DEPORT GRANDMOTHERS WHO ARE HERE ILLEGALLY.

MITT SAID: (PARAPHRASING) "THE PROBLEM ISN'T THAT WE HAVE 11 MILLION GRANDMOTHERS HERE ILLEGALLY."

GREAT LINE. THE AUDIENCE LOVED IT. MITT OWNED THE IMMIGRATION ARGUMENT.

UPDATE: 40 MINUTES AFTER I POSTED THIS, THE DAILY CALLER WRITES ABOUT THIS EXCHANGE AND POSTS THE VIDEO.

PERRYMANIA, CAINMANIA, THE NEWTMANIA...

AND THEY EACH SUCKED.

WHY THE MANIA?

IT AIN'T THAT MOST THINK MITT'S TOO LIBERAL.

IT'S A STYLE ISSUE:

PEOPLE LIKE THE SIMPLE, TERSE RED-MEAT RHETORIC OF CAIN AND NEWT.

PARRY AND THEN CAIN AND THEN NEWT HAVE IN SUCCESSION EXCITED THE BASE WITH RED MEAT.

MITT HASN'T.

YOU CAN WIN PRIMARIES WITH RED MEAT BUT YOU CAN'T WIN A GENERAL ELECTION WITH RED MEAT THAT ONLY THE BASE EATS UP.

AND IT'S NOT A PROGRAM FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE.

IF RED MEAT LED TO GOOD GOVERNANCE THAN NEWT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN TOSSED OUT BY HIS GOP COLLEAGUES IN THE HOUSE IN 1998.

SO - JIM HOFT, BILLY JACOBSON: WAKE UP! YOUR CONTINUED DEFENSE OF THE SLEAZEBALL NEWT IS AS RIDICULOUS AS YOUR DEFENSE OF CAIN AND CAIN'S IDIOTIC 999 PLAN.

OBAMA IN A NUTSHELL: DISSES GOVERNOR BREWER, BUT APPEASES AHMADINEJAD

OBAMA WAS RUDE TO A GOVERNOR HE IS SUING TO PREVENT HER FROM ENFORCING FEDERAL LAWS HE WON'T ENFORCE.

BUT HE WRITES SWEET MISSIVES TO ISLAMO-FASCISTS WHO THREATEN GENOCIDE.

WHAT MORE DOES ONE HAVE TO SAY!?!?!?

NEVER BEFORE HAVE SO FEW, DONE SO MUCH HARM TO SO MANY

AND NOW, THEY SAY THEY WON'T LET US THEIR AIRSPACE TO ATTACK IRAN.

• THEY ARE NOT ON OUR SIDE.

• THEY SHOULD BE THROWN OUT OF NATO.

NATO IS A MUTUAL SECURITY ORGANIZATION.

TURKEY IS NO LONGER HELPING WITH THE MUTUAL SECURITY OF NATO - AND MIGHT VERY WELL BE LEAKING VITAL DEFENSE INFORMATION TO IRAN.

MAYBE THEY EVEN HELPED IRAN DOWN OUR DRONE?

IT'S LONG PAST TIME WE THREW THEM OUT OF NATO,

THEY ATTACK THE RICH, THEN HOLD $35,000/HEAD FUNDRAISERS AND WEAR EXPENSIVE CLOTHING AND GO ON EXPENSIVE VACATIONS.

THIS IS WHY I HAVE LONG CALLED OBAMA A BREZHNEV SOCIALIST.

FOLKS WHO AGREE WITH OBAMA'S CLASS WARFARE ARE DUPES.

HELLOOOOOO: LIKE OBAMA, REID AND PELOSI, NEWT OPPOSED THE SURGE

LIKE OBAMA REID AND PELOSI, NEWT OPPOSED THE SURGE.

CAN NEWT ATTRACT THE INDEPENDENTS WE NEED TO DEFEAT OBAMA? NOPE.

To believe that Newt is innocent of the attacks - a Mr. Clean who had an essentially unblemished record rich in conservative achievements - one would have to believe that Michelle Bachmann and Susan Molinari and Rick Santorum and John Sununu and the Bushes are all wrong because this diverse group all say he is an erratic and undisciplined leader and unreliable conservative.

I think they are right about Newt.

AND ANOTHER THING:

If Newt was so good as a leader, then why the scant number of endorsements from those he served with?

I think many on the right so voraciously love the red meat that Newt so ably tosses out, that they turn a blind eye to his many failings - as if saying: "yes, he's a bastid, but he's our bastid!"


Rest assured, the independents and moderates we need to win the election will not feel that way.

PLO cuts off so-called peace talks again

After meeting at least 5 times as a mere "goodwill gesture", the PLO has again left what they were discussing in Jordan:

The Palestinian Authority will not restart direct peace negotiations with Israel unless Jerusalem recognizes the borders of a Palestinian state, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said Wednesday according to the Palestinian News and Information Agency (WAFA).

"If the borders are set it's possible to return to negotiations, but the Israelis do not want established borders" Abbas said following a meeting with Jordanian King Abdullah II.

And he doesn't want to renounce the evil ways of Islamofascism.

The most outstanding issue preventing the resumption of high-level direct negotiations is the continued expansion of Israeli settlements, especially in "occupied" Jerusalem, Abbas said according to the report.

Other PA official made abrupter comments Wednesday, saying that Wednesday's meeting between Israeli and Palestinian negotiators in Amman would be the final meeting.

It might not be, but in any case, they demonstrated their callousness yet again, not to mention just how pro-segregation they are.

WE SHOULD KNOW IF HE IS HEALTHY BEFORE THE NEXT VOTE TAKES PLACE.

SHOULD WE GIVE NEWT AMNESTY?

SEEMS TO ME MANY SELF-DESIGNATED CONSERVATIVES ARE GIVING NEWT AMNESTY - FOR QUITE A LOT, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME NOT CUTTING MITT ANY SLACK:

1. NEWT WANTS FORGIVENESS FOR BEING A LOUSY LEADER OF THE HOUSE WHO RESIGNED IN DISGRACE.
2. NEWT WANTS FORGIVENESS FOR BEING A SERIAL ADULTERER.
3. NEWT WANTS FORGIVENESS FOR BEING A LOBBYIST FOR FREDDIE MAC.
4. NEWT WANTS FORGIVENESS FOR RECENTLY MAKING A TV COMMERCIAL WITH NANCY PELOSI IN FAVOR OF GLOBAL WARMING SCHEMES.
5. NEWT WANTS FORGIVENESS FOR TRASHING PAUL RYAN RECENTLY ON MEET THE PRESS.
6. NEWT WANTS FORGIVENESS FOR TRASHING CAPITALISM AND FREE ENTERPRISE.

I WON'T GIVE HIM AMNESTY - NOT FOR ALL OF THESE TRANSGRESSIONS - THEY ARE JUST TOO NUMEROUS AND REINFORCE THE OPINION OF SANTORUM AND MOLINARI AND BACHMANN THAT NEWT IS JUST NOT A RELIABLE CONSERVATIVE LEADER.

MAYOR OF BEIT SHEMESH HAS GOT TO GO

The modern Sikrikim in Beit Shemesh, if you'll call them that, have struck again, this time attacking a lottery advertising employee:

A woman was injured in Beit Shemesh when she was attacked by ultra-Orthodox men while hanging up posters for the Mifal Hapayis national lottery on Tuesday.

According to police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld, Natalie Mashiach, 27, was accosted by several men in the ultra-Orthodox Ramat Beit Shemesh Bet neighborhood, who demanded that she leave the area.

They surrounded her car and pelted it with stones, smashing several windows, and punctured her tires. One stone struck Mashiach on the head, lightly injuring her.

“I was afraid for my life. I thought I was going to die,” she said.

“They came right up to my face and spat at me, so I went back to the car and called the police,” she told the press after the incident.

She had called the police who told her to wait where she was, but while they were on their way to her, 10 young men approached her car, smashed the windows and threw bleach at her, she said. “Fifty, maybe 100 people were watching and pleaded with them to let me leave, but then they threw this liquid on me, which only afterwards I realized was bleach, and I thought they were going to set me on fire, and that this was it. I was going to die.”

Police arrived quickly, dispersed the crowd and arrested three men.

While the woman is lucky to be alive and safe from possible arson attack, the mayor went about this very disgracefully by remaining ambiguous about condemnation, and some Hasidic news sites were dishonest and trivialized the violence by acting as though it was justified:

Mayor Moshe Abutbul said, “I again condemn violence of any kind carried out by extremist elements from both sides, and call on the police to enforce the law with severity and with zero tolerance for those breaking the law and disturbing public order.”

Rabbi Dov Lipman, head of the Committee to Save Beit Shemesh that lobbies against ultra-Orthodox extremism in the city, said Abutbol’s comments are “part of the problem.”

“When a woman is attacked in this way, condemnation must be unconditional,” he said. “He is trying to minimize the extent of haredi extremism in Beit Shemesh when he should be conducting all-night sessions to work out how to solve the problem.”

According to several haredi websites, Mashiach went into the foyer of a synagogue to hang flyers but behaved immodestly when asked to leave.

Lipman said that he had spoken to an ultra-Orthodox witness who denied this version of events and said that Mashiach was outside the synagogue when she was attacked.

Lipman added, “I applaud the police for arresting suspects immediately and for promising more arrests.

There is no doubt that the police force has been more aggressive since we began our campaign to save the city and since a new chief took over two weeks ago.”

However, the mayor himself is going to have to be given the pink slip, because it's clear he's not taking this matter seriously. And if the Hasidic news sites who spoke about this lied, to say nothing of acted as though the woman was "asking for it", then they've desecrated the Ten Commandments' belief in honesty.

And if anybody in the public was just standing around there and not trying to drag those hoodlums away from the woman and her car, I can't help but wonder if that smacks of partial Kitty Genovese syndrome. Some advice to those disturbed by that kind of atrocious behavior: next time, if you can, try to stop those hoods yourself if the police haven't arrived yet, lest someone really get seriously hurt.

NEWT SHOULD NOT GET FORGIVENESS FOR HIS ETHICS VIOLATIONS, OR GET CREDIT FOR THE 1996 ELECTION

NO AMNESTY FOR NEWT!

Byron York via Instapundit: What Really Happened With The Gingrich Ethics Case?

 “The Gingrich case was extraordinarily complex, intensely partisan, and driven in no small way by a personal vendetta on the part of one of Gingrich’s former political opponents. It received saturation coverage in the press; a database search of major media outlets revealed more than 10,000 references to Gingrich’s ethics problems during the six months leading to his reprimand. It ended with a special counsel hired by the House Ethics Committee holding Gingrich to an astonishingly strict standard of behavior, after which Gingrich in essence pled guilty to two minor offenses. Afterwards, the case was referred to the Internal Revenue Service, which conducted an exhaustive investigation into the matter. And then, after it was all over and Gingrich was out of office, the IRS concluded that Gingrich did nothing wrong. After all the struggle, Gingrich was exonerated.” - Posted at 11:30 pm by Glenn Reynolds   

The idea that in the 1990's career politicians in Congress held their fellow career politician to "an astonishingly strict standard of behavior" is laughable - and as believable as the notion that Gingrich was hired by the chief lobbyist of Freddie Mac to consult on history.


There's not a citizen alive today who - if he was an adult during that era, as I was - doesn't know who and what Newt was all about and who he is today.


The man who GOP Congressmen as ideologically diverse as Santorum and Molinari call an erratic, undisciplined and awful leader back then is the same amoral egomaniac who recently trashed Paul Ryan and made a TV commercial with Pelosi.


Trying to re-cast him as a wronged saint who saved the GOP and conservatism is an exercise in mendacity.


All the Contract With America really did was provide a basis for local candidates in historically local races in a non-presidential to "nationalize" their campaigns.


It was dissatisfaction with Clinton's first 2 years - in which he governed well to the left of where he had campaigned - and anger over Hillarycare - that fueled the GOP take-over, and not Newt.

GUARANTEED NOT HALAL: ANTI-ISLAMIZATION HOTTIE BRIGITTE BARDOT - VIDEOS, JPEGS, TEXT

WIKI:

Bardot expressed support for President Charles de Gaulle in the 1960s.[11][28] Her husband Bernard d'Ormale is a former adviser of the Front National, the main nationalist party in France.[12][28] Bardot never joined the party and is not a known sympathiser.[3] 

In her 1999 book Le Carré de Pluton ("Pluto's Square"), Bardot criticizes the procedure used in the ritual slaughter of sheep during the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha. Additionally, in a section in the book entitled, "Open Letter to My Lost France", Bardot writes that "my country, France, my homeland, my land is again invaded by an overpopulation of foreigners, especially Muslims". For this comment, a French court fined her 30,000 francs in June 2000. She had been fined in 1997 for the original publication of this open letter in Le Figaro and again 1998 for making similar remarks.[24][29][30] 

In her 2003 book, Un cri dans le silence ("A Scream in the Silence"), she warned of an “Islamicization of France”, and said of Muslim immigration: 

Over the last twenty years, we have given in to a subterranean, dangerous, and uncontrolled infiltration, which not only resists adjusting to our laws and customs but which will, as the years pass, attempt to impose its own.[31]

Company To Produce a Diesel/Ethanol Fuel Mixture for $1.19/Gal and 25,000 Gal / Acre?

We will never run out of Energy. The mind of man will always come up with new ways to exploit the resources at our disposal.

One of the next steps will be genetically-engineered micro-organisms which secrete fuels as a byproduct of their life processes.

Wait, did I say "next"? It's already being done.

From Al Fin:

Joule Unlimited, a startup based in Bedford, Massachusetts, has received $70 million to commercialize technology that uses micro-örganisms to turn sunlight and carbon dioxide into liquid fuel.

The company claims that its genetically engineered bacteria will eventually be able to produce ethanol for as little as $1.23 a gallon or diesel fuel for $1.19 a gallon, less than half the current cost of both fossil fuels and existing biofuels...

The company, formerly known as Joule Biotechnologies, claimed in 2009 that its organisms could in theory produce as much as 20,000 gallons of ethanol on an acre of land in single year. Company officials now say their target is 25,000 gallons per acre, and that efficiencies they have already demonstrated take them 60 percent of the way to that goal. _MIT Technology Review

In a peer-reviewed paper published last year in the journal Photosynthesis Research, Robertson and others showed that their process can achieve an overall efficiency of 7.2 percent in converting sunlight to liquid fuel. The figure is roughly seven times higher than the efficiency rate of systems that use naturally occurring microörganisms.

The key to the increased efficiency, Robertson says, is that the engineered bacteria can secrete liquid fuels continuously. Nonengineered microbes produce oils that have to be harvested and refined into fuels, and the organisms have to be ground up to release the oils, so each batch yields only a single harvest.

The microbes that attain 60 percent of the company's stated productivity goal have been secreting ethanol in outdoor SolarConverters at the company's three-acre pilot plant for the past six months. To increase efficiency, Robertson says, the company will further manipulate the organisms' genetic makeup to limit all biological processes that compete with fuel production. For example, Joule has been working for several years to shut down genetic pathways that allow the organisms to keep growing. That should enable them to devote more energy to fuel production.

Robertson says that the company has just begun to optimize production in its diesel-secreting microbes, which currently yield fuel at a rate that is only 10 percent of the company's goal of 15,000 gallons per acre per year. _TechnologyReview

THE CORE OF OBAMA'S SPEECH IS BASED ON A LIE - A BIG LIE: THAT INCOME INEQUALITY IS GROWING

OBAMA'S BIG LIE:

The defining issue of our time is how to keep that promise alive. No challenge is more urgent. No debate is more important. We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by. Or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules. What’s at stake are not Democratic values or Republican values, but American values. We have to reclaim them. 

Let’s remember how we got here. Long before the recession, jobs and manufacturing began leaving our shores. Technology made businesses more efficient, but also made some jobs obsolete. Folks at the top saw their incomes rise like never before, but most hardworking Americans struggled with costs that were growing, paychecks that weren’t, and personal debt that kept piling up.

THE MEDIA IS PRESENTING IT THIS WAY TOO:


INCONVENIENT FACT: 


THERE HAS BEEN NO INCREASE IN INCOME INEQUALITY SINCE 1986:

"Increasing income disparity" is a hoax

... most of the reported rise in income disparity since 1979 had already occurred by 1986, and there has been no significant trend since then.

(CLICK THE LINK TO SEE ALL THE DATA.)
"INCREASING INCOME DISPARITY" IS A SOCIALIST HOAX LIKE AGW.
BOTH WERE DESIGNED TO HELP PUSH SOCIALIST POLICIES THE LEFT HAS LONG WANTED.
YOU NO LONGER HAVE ANY EXCUSE TO BE DUPED.

[MORE PROOF THAT "INCOME INEQUALITY" IS A HOAX HERE.]

(AND ANOTHER THING: 


WHOSE BUSINESS IS IT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE EARN IN THE PRIVATE ECONOMY!?!?!? 


I MEAN, ER... UM, THEY "EARN" IT; IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S HANDED TO THEM ON A SILVER PLATTER! 


AND IT AIN'T LIKE IT'S COMING OUT OF  YOUR POCKET IF IT AIN'T YOUR BUSINESS AND YOU OWN NO SHARES IN IT!


THE PUBLIC ONLY HAS AN INTEREST IN WHAT PEOPLE WORKING FOR THE GOVERNMENT EARN - AND WHAT COMPANIES WHO GET GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES ARE UP TO.)

• THE ENTIRE FOUNDATION OF THE LEFT'S ATTACK ON FREE ENTERPRISE AND OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN IS BASED ON THIS LIE.

• THE 2008 CRASH WAS CAUSED BY THE SAME THING THAT'S BRINGING THE EU TO ITS KNEES: SOCIALIST POLICIES.

• THE EU IS NOT BEING CRUSHED BY THE BUSH TAX CUTS OR UNFUNDED WARS.

WHAT'S CRUSHING THE EU ARE SOCIALIST POLICIES THAT:

1 - THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO CONTINUE, AND
2 - THAT DON'T WORK VERY WELL
3 - THAT HURT ECONOMIC GROWTH

OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES WANT US TO BE MORE LIKE THEM - AND THAT'S A ONE-WAY TICKET TO SERFDOM.

THE CRONY CAPITALISM AND REDISTRIBUTION POLICIES OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES HAVE ENACTED HAVE BEEN WASTEFUL AND TERRIBLE FOR THE ECONOMY.

WE CAN END THEM THIS FALL.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.

VIDEO: ROMNEY IS MORE CONSERVATIVE ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION THAN NEWT

IT AIN'T EVEN CLOSE.

MITT OPPOSES AGRICULTURAL SUBSIDIES; NEWT DOESN'T REALLY CARE ANYMORE

SO WHO IS THE MORE CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE? 

WHICH OF THE TWO IS MORE ACCEPTING OF THE STATUS QUO AND THE ESTABLISHMENT?

SMITH: Governor Romney, you`re going some campaign support from sugar growers. It`s a very influential group in this state. What`s your view on the sugar subsidies?
ROMNEY: Yeah, my view is, we ought to get rid of subsidies and let markets work properly.

END OF STORY.

AND NEWT!?!?!? HERE:

GINGRICH: Well, I pretty enthusiastically early in my career kept trying to figure out how to get away from the sugar subsidy. And I found out one of -- one of the fascinating things about America, which was that cane sugar hides behind beet sugar. And there are just too many beet sugar districts in the United States. It`s an amazing side story about how interest groups operate.
In an ideal world, you would have an open market. And that`s -- I think that would be a better future and, frankly, one where cane sugar would still make a lot of money. But it`s very hard to imagine how you`re going to get there. I spent a lot of time trying to reform agriculture when I was speaker. And I would say it was one of the two or three hardest things to try to do because the -- the capacity of the agricultural groups to defend themselves is pretty amazing.

HE'S RESIGNED TO THESE SUBSIDIES ALWAYS BEING HERE. LIKE A TRUE ESTABLISHMENT POLITICIAN.
