A NEWTIST COLONY ON MOON WON'T ELECT GINGRICH

2012-01-29T05:55:00.000-05:00

WE NEED TO DEFEAT OBAMA. NEWT CAN'T POSSIBLY DO THAT AS WELL AS MITT MIGHT:

1 - There's not a single poll that shows Newt doing as well against Obama as Mitt does, not one.

2 - Romneycare immunizes Mitt from mediscare tactics that worked in NY CD26, and makes Mitt the best anti-Obamacare candidate not the weakest or worse.

3 - Newt can't raise the money Mitt can, and it will take close to one billion bucks to defeat Obama.

4 - Newt's negatives are huge and written over decades - in stone. Moon-bases and Cain endorsements won't change that.

So the argument that Newt is a better candidate to defeat Obama has no legs to stand on.

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

2012-01-28T17:57:00.000-05:00

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

2012-01-28T15:31:00.001-05:00

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?

2012-01-28T11:05:00.001-05:00

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

2012-01-27T21:06:00.001-05:00

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.

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

2012-01-27T20:24:00.003-05:00

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

2012-01-27T19:00:00.000-05:00

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.

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.

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.

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

2012-01-25T15:11:00.000-05:00

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

2012-01-25T15:09:00.000-05:00

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.

MAYOR OF BEIT SHEMESH HAS GOT TO GO

2012-01-25T11:59:00.004-05:00

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

2012-01-24T22:10:00.000-05:00

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?

2012-01-24T21:46:00.001-05:00

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

2012-01-24T21:29:00.000-05:00

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.

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.

DOUBLE UH-OH'S: IMF WARNING ON GLOBAL GROWTH AND NEW GREEK WORRIES

2012-01-24T13:47:00.001-05:00

1- The IMF warned on Tuesday that global growth prospects have dimmed as the sovereign-debt crisis in the euro zone has entered a “perilous new phase.”

2 - The euro is falling against the dollar on worries that Greece might not reach a deal with its creditors. A deal is needed in order for Greece to receive its next bailout payment and avoid a default. A default could hurt Europe's financial system and trigger a financial panic around the world.

Much of the theatrics over the last several months have been deliberately handled - with what's touted as weekly salvation plans followed by new angst - to give big money handlers time to move assets to plan b and plan c investments so that the impact is reduced when the inevitable happens.

Unfortunately, the inevitable is gonna happen a lot sooner than the planners think and it will have very nasty short term consequences.

Ancient Jewish scrolls found in north Afghanistan

2012-01-24T09:41:00.002-05:00

A cache of ancient Jewish scrolls from northern Afghanistan that has only recently come to light is creating a storm among scholars who say the landmark find could reveal an undiscovered side of medieval Jewry.

The 150 or so documents, dated from the 11th century, were found in Afghanistan's Samangan province and most likely smuggled out—a sorry but common fate for the impoverished and war-torn country's antiquities.

Israeli emeritus professor Shaul Shaked, who has examined some of the poems, commercial records and judicial agreements that make up the treasure, said while the existence of ancient Afghan Jewry is known, their culture was still a mystery.

"Here, for the first time, we see evidence and we can actually study the writings of this Jewish community. It's very exciting," Shaked told Reuters by telephone from Israel, where he teaches at the Comparative Religion and Iranian Studies department at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

The hoard is currently being kept by private antique dealers in London, who have been producing a trickle of new documents over the past two years, which is when Shaked believes they were found and pirated out of Afghanistan in a clandestine operation.

It is likely they belonged to Jewish merchants on the Silk Road running across Central Asia, said T. Michael Law, a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at Oxford University's Center for Hebrew and Jewish Studies.

"They might have been left there by merchants traveling along the way, but they could also come from another nearby area and deposited for a reason we do not yet understand," Law said.

‘Sold elsewhere for ten times more’

Cultural authorities in Kabul had mixed reactions to the find, which scholars say is without a doubt from Afghanistan, arguing that the Judeo-Persian language used on the scrolls is similar to other Afghan Jewish manuscripts.

AMAZING.

GINGRICH'S GOLDEN FANTASY

2012-01-24T08:55:00.002-05:00

During a talk at a South Carolina foreign policy forum, Newt floated some half cooked ideas about puting the dollar back on the Gold Standard.

I can imagine nothing to be more foolish at a time when the world economy is in the midst of a unprecedented financial crisis and where massive injections of liquidity have barely sufficed to soften the blow of multiple collapsing bubbles.

Newt also states that the Fed should forget Employment, and concentrate only upon Inflation. It was precisely the European Central Bank's preoccupation with Inflation that has led it to stymie the European economy!

What we need is more transparent and flexible markets, not extremely volatile markets (that benefit traders) nor currencies (like the Chinese) that are held artificially fast.

By floating this kind of retrograde nostalgia Newt is proving he is fit for the Kremlin, but not the White House.

Modern mufti in Jerusalem preaches the hate of the Hadith

2012-01-23T15:35:00.001-05:00

The prime minister has demanded an investigation into a local mufti who preached anti-Jewish hatemongering (via Big Peace):

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu Sunday called on Attorney-General Yehuda Weinstein to open an investigation into Jerusalem Mufti Sheikh Muhammad Hussein for incitement after he was recorded quoting a passage by the Islamic prophet Muhammad in the Hadith that calls for the killing of Jews.

"These are grave words that the world needs to condemn," Netanyahu said.

Responding to the allegations of incitement on Israel Radio Sunday, Sheikh Muhammad Hussein denied inciting the murder of Jews, saying he was just quoting the Islamic text. "I can't change the Hadith," he added.

But he can admit what that particular filth is like, and it's just as bad in the main Koran, as seen in verses 2:52-65 and 5:59-60, for example. It just shows what a horrific hate book both the Koran and Hadith really are.

BACHMANN IS RIGHT ABOUT NEWT: HE'S AWFUL

2012-01-23T10:35:00.006-05:00

BACHMANN:

For me, these past weeks have been filled with much prayer and personal reflection - which has provided some clarity. Ultimately, I recognize that endorsing a candidate is the responsible thing to do.

But it is far more responsible to ensure that candidate is one I can support with a strong conviction knowing, without any doubt, that they protect our values and have the ability to restore our nation's greatness. With some doubt still present, I am not yet prepared to offer my endorsement, but look forward to doing so in the coming weeks.

However, through this exhaustive process of consideration, it was strikingly obvious that one candidate could not be less acceptable to be our Party's nominee.

He lacks the poise, experience and moral fiber to represent our principles and values. That candidate is Newt Gingrich.

In sum, our nation is in desperate need of a proven and moral leader who can point us back in the right direction - not a desperately flawed candidate like Newt Gingrich who has only proven he cannot lead.

I find it difficult to understand just what unites the various followers of the "anybody but Mitt" movement. If one looks at Mitt's record as a successful businessman and competent Governor, and add to that the fact that he is from outside the Beltway, he appears to be the best qualified candidate in the Republican pack.

Whatever one thinks of Mormonism it is a uniquely American form of Christianity. I know very little of the Mormon faith: mostly what one hears second or third hand; what one learns of the Federal Governments attempt to isolate the Mormons out west; and of course what one gleans from reading the Book of Mormon - if it happens to be in the night table at your Motel. Yes - there is a lot about Mormonism that seems strange to me - but as one who was brought up as a jew I must point out that many christian beliefs - for example the Holy Trinity, Mary's Immaculate Conception, and Jesus's Birth Incarnate also seem...well, complex to say the least.

As a believer in G-d, I accept the fact that others embrace alternative faiths. It appears to me that Mitt Romney believes in G-d, the 10 Commandments etc. Newt Gingrich, on the other hand, seems to believe in Newt Gingrich above all else.

People who criticise Romney seem to be motivated by a deep seated mistrust - but they rarely provide substantive arguments that criticise his record of service. From my perspective the most fervent critics of Mitt Romney seem to be Christians who don't like Mormons. And unless they can provide more substantive arguments against Romney's qualifications or positions then they are nothing less than Bigots.

MITT FIGHTS BACK!

2012-01-22T23:44:00.003-05:00

Mitt Romney landed here Sunday with a simple message: Newt Gingrich is a failure and a fraud. And a disgrace. And a hapless showman.

ALL TRUE. RTWT.

UNLIKE NEWT, MITT DIDN'T DUMP HIS WIFE WHEN SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MS

2012-01-22T23:37:00.002-05:00

JUST SAYING.

CUZ IT SHOWS CHARACTER - AND CHARACTER COUNTS.

CHARACTER IS NOT ATTACKING JOHN KING AN DIANE SAWYER AND GEORGE STEPHANOPOULAS.

CHARACTER IS NOT BEING FINED $300,000 BY A GOP CONTROLLED ETHICS COMMITTEE.

CHARACTER IS NOT BEING A SHILL FOR FREDDIE MAC.

CHARACTER IS NOT PLAYING FOOTSIE ON A COUCH WITH PELOSI.

AND CHARACTER IS NOT BEING A SERIAL ADULTERER WHO DUMPED HIS SECOND WIFE ONLY AFTER SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MS.

THEY HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE THEN, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT HE DECIDED TO DIVORCE HER ONLY AFTER SHE GOT SICK.

THAT SHOWS BAD CHARACTER.

MITT'S WIFE ANNE ALSO HAS MS. AND THEY SEEM INSEPARABLE.

THAT SHOWS THEY BOTH HAVE GOOD CHARACTER.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT NEITHER CALLISTA OR NEWT HAVE.

NEWT MAY BE BRIGHT AND HAVE A "GRAND" IMAGINATION, BUT HE HASN'T GOT THE GOOD AND DECENT AND TRUE AND TRUSTWORTHY CHARACTER WE NEED IN THE OVAL OFFICE.

I CHALLENGE ALL THE NEWTNUTS TO SHOW ME ONE PHOTO OF MITT LIKE ANY OF THESE OF NEWT

2012-01-22T23:24:00.001-05:00

NEWT IS NOT A RELIABLE CONSERVATIVE:

JUST SHOW ME ONE PHOTO OF MITT PLAYING FOOTSIE WITH SCUM LIKE NEWT PLAYED FOOTSIE WITH OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

MAY BE RED-MEAT

THAT MAY BE TURNING-ON THE BASE,

WE NEED TO FORGE A MAJORITY

NEWT'S A NATIONAL VERSION OF

NOT ONLY ISN'T SHE A SENATOR -

SHE ENDORSED NEWT.

SHE LEARNED HER LESSON.

THE ABSOFREAKIN' RIGHT-ON TRUTH FROM JAY COST VIA HOT AIR

2012-01-22T22:24:00.000-05:00

Jay Cost:

Newt Gingrich and the politics of frustration

Conservatives are very frustrated, and rightfully so. Their feeling is that they play by the rules – they work hard, pay their taxes, raise their kids right – but what do they get for it? Their values are mocked on television and the movies, the media castigates them as a bunch of extremists, they pay taxes while half of the country does not, and the Obama administration took to demagouging them virtually from day one of his tenure. I know of what I speak – a few months back I was driving down the road and saw a sign in front of a business lamenting, “Where is the America I grew up in?” I nodded my head in approval.

Enter Newt Gingrich, the person on the debate stage who finally speaks truth to power. ‘Not so fast, John King!’ ‘Hold it just a damned minute, Diane Sawyer!’ ‘How dare you talk to me like that, Brian Williams!’ These are the sorts of thoughts that millions of conservatives have every week. And now here is Newt Gingrich actually saying it right to them. Never mind the fact that he is expressing indignation at liberals while sometimes offering not-so-conservative policies, or using it as a form of misdirection to turn attention away from his own questionable deeds. Conservatives everywhere love to hear somebody finally stick it to the elites.

This explains why they are excited about the prospect of an Obama-Gingrich debate. They love the thought of someone finally standing in front of Obama and saying, “How dare you, sir!”

THE NEWTNUTS ARE ATTACKING JAY IN THE THREAD. IT'S LIKE THEY'RE IN A FEEDING FRENZY.

WHEN ASSAD FALLS, SADDAM'S WEAPONS MIGHT VERY WELL BE FINALLY FOUND... IN SYRIA

SRI LANKA COUNTER-ATTACKING AGAINST JIHAD: EXPELS 16 MUSLIM CLERICS

2012-01-22T20:32:00.000-05:00

Sri Lanka has reportedly ordered 161 foreign Muslim preachers to leave the country for flouting visa regulations.

A senior immigration official was quoted as saying that the clerics had no right to preach in mosques because they had arrived on tourist visas. He also said that some local Muslims had complained that the visitors were not teaching a moderate form of Islam.

The preachers - from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, the Maldives and Arab nations - must now leave by 31 January.

EVERY NATION IN THE WEST SHOULD DO THE SAME THING: EXPEL DEPORT OR EXILE CLERICS WHO PREACH JIHAD AND SHARIA WHICH ARE INIMICAL TO WESTERN VALUES AND SEDITIOUS AGAINST PLURALIST DEMOCRACIES.

NEWT IS WEARING A RED-MEAT DRESS - AND IT'S WORKING ON SOME

2012-01-22T20:18:00.000-05:00

ATTACKING THE MEDIA IS NOT A REAL DEFENSE FOR :

SERIAL ADULTERY
OR A $300GEE FINE FOR UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR
OR ENDORSING SCOZZAFAVA
OR SHILLING FOR FREDDIE MAC
OR TRASHING RYAN
OR SUPPORTING AMNESTY
OR MAKING A GLOBAL-WARMING COMMERCIAL WITH PELOSI...

BUT IT OBVIOUSLY WORKS ON SOME PEOPLE.

SOME PEOPLE ARE SUCKERS FOR RED-MEAT.

BUT YOU CAN'T FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME.

UNREAL: CROATIA BOARDS A SINKING SHIP: VOTES TO JOIN EU

2012-01-22T18:52:00.002-05:00

IDIOTS:

With the EU facing its worst ever crisis, with the sovereign debt emergency sapping its self-belief, and Greece's membership of the euro in doubt, there were fears that the pessimism engulfing Europe would dampen pro-EU sentiment in Croatia.

But the referendum held on Sunday on joining the EU next year as the union's 28th member was supported by up to 67%, according to official projections based on around 40% of the vote.

THINGS MUST BE REALLY BAD IN CROATIA IF THEY THINK JOINING THE EU IS A STEP UP!

IF YOU OWNED A BIG BUSINESS WITH A HUGE STAFF AND WORLDWIDE OPERATIONS AND A TOUGH COMPETITIVE MARKETPLACE, THEN WHO WOULD YOU WANT RUNNING IT: MITT OR NEWT?

2012-01-22T17:55:00.000-05:00

IT AIN'T EVEN CLOSE:

NEWT COULDN'T RUN THE GOP SIDE OF THE AISLE WHEN HE WAS SPEAKER.

NOTHING IN HIS 68 YEARS INDICATES NEWT HAS THE ABILITY TO RUN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH.

MITT WILL BE ABLE TO MANAGE AN ADMINISTRATION THAT WILL GET THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT UNDER CONTROL.

ANOTHER OPPONENT OF ISLAM MAKES A FOOL OF HIMSELF

2012-01-22T14:11:00.004-05:00

Another example of a would-be conservative who goes and does something really stupid has just surfaced. While warning about the efforts the OIC and its willing minions are making to censor criticism of Islam, Ned May at Big Peace damages the impact of his article with the following:

An end run around the Constitution may also be available in the recently-passed National Defense Authorization bill, which permits the president to order indefinite military detention of American citizens, even within the United States. The rationale is that we are in a “time of war.” The war, however, has never been declared, and the enemy is unnamed — except, of course, as “extremism.” And we all know who Barack Hussein Obama considers to be the “extremists.” The NDAA does not bode well for tea-partiers, Islamophobes, Ron Paul supporters, and other “right-wing extremists.” If nothing else, the feds will be forced to detain a few of us just to prove they are not engaging in “profiling.”

What does Paul and his 9-11 truther screwball following have to do with this? Paul's most definitely not an opponent of Islamofascism, and there's plenty of signs he wouldn't exactly oppose this bill himself. His supporters may not be deserving of arrest, but tossing them into this whole affair is in poor taste, and Obama might actually be favorable to Paul, because he embarrasses and divides Republicans and conservatives.

Just how many more self-professed conservatives are going to make fools of themselves and undermine the effort to keep the GOP free of horrific characters like Paul? This is just absolutely shocking and awful every time a so-called right-winger does something this dumb.

TOTAL PROOF: GINGRICH IS A RINO (UPDATED/EXPANDED/BUMPED)

2012-01-22T13:30:00.000-05:00

MITT NEVER DID A COMMERCIAL WITH KENNEDY OR TIP O'NEILL OR KERRY OR DUKAKIS.

HE RAN AGAINST KENNEDY AND HAS BEEN MORE CONSISTENTLY MORE CONSERVATIVE THAN NEWT IN HIS PUBLIC LIFE FOR THE LAST DECADE -

AND IN HIS PRIVATE LIFE FOR SEVERAL DECADES!

BUT NEWT MADE ONE WITH PELOSI:

A VOTE FOR NEWT IS A VOTE FOR A RINO.

AN ERRATIC, MERCURIAL, EGOMANIACAL RINO.

WHO IN RECENTLY TRASHED PAUL RYAN AND ENDORSED DEDE SCOZZAFAVA.

DON'T BE DUPED. DON'T FALL FOR THE RED MEAT THEATRICALITY.

VOTE MITT.

UPDATE: WASHINGTON EXAMINER:

"Gingrich, the supposedly conservative choice,

isn't reliably conservative"

HERE ARE SOME POSSIBLE RUNNING MATES FOR NEWT

GINGRICH-SCOZZAFAVA

GINGRICH-SHARPTON

GINGRICH-PELOSI

GINGRICH-ARAFAT

UPDATE: OVER AT PJM, THEY ASKED READERS WHO MIGHT BE THE BEST VEEP FOR NEWT: HERE IS ONE OF THE COMMENTS:

2. Frank Martin

I’d pay good money to watch Newt Gingrich debate Newt Gingrich. I’d even pay to watch the next day after the Gingrich v. Gingrich debate when Newt Gingrich complain about Newt Gingrich and how he really won the debate and how “frankly he’s disappointed” that we could see it any other way.

Sidebar: You know what cracks me up about South Carolina? It’s how the guy who has always dogged by a slander of polygamy was just beat by a guy who actually had three wives. Not all at once of course, but what was once an automatic disqualification has now become a career advancement and a way to get your message out by having your ex-wife campaign against you. End Sidebar

Now to your question,”Who would be Newt Gingrich’s VP?”

I believe we can apply the following filter to that problem:

1. Cant be anyone he’s ever worked with or knows him personally(no one in this category will return his calls today.)
2. Cant be anyone who actually wants to accomplish anything in politics.
3. Cant be anyone with a sense of personal shame.
4. Cant be anyone with anything else to do or desire to do anything ever again.

There is one man who fits this filter, but Vice President Biden has already pledged himself to the Obama campaign.

...
ANOTHER UPDATE: A COMMENTER AT GATEWAY PUNDIT:

#31 January 22, 2012 at 12:49 pmJames commented:Romney has my vote because he is the most conservative nominee. Newt can take his global warming, amnesty for illegals and 1.6 million from fannie mae and go sit on a couch with nancy pelosi and scozafalla.

NEWT'S STRATEGERY: MISDIRECTION

INSTEAD OF DEALING WITH THE FACTS - THAT HE IS A SERIAL ADULTERER - WHO WAS REVILED BY HIS FELLOW GOP CONGRESSMEN AND FINED $300,000 BY THEM FOR ETHICAL VIOLATIONS - NEWT ATTACKS THE MEDIA AND OBAMA.

DON'T BE DUPED:

Marianne Gingrich, to whom Gingrich was married when he began an affair with his current wife, Callista, had been in the news all day as excerpts of a then soon-to-be-released interview with ABC News were replayed dozens of times. By debate time, the words "open marriage," a stale phrase from the silly Seventies when Gingrich was a bespectacled college professor with mutton-chop sideburns, were on the tips of the tongues of a million wags.Just as King had no choice but to ask, Gingrich answered in the only way he could — by attacking the questioner. Shooting the messenger is a time-honored method of spin control among royals and their imitators. Gingrich's bilious reproach was an oratorical defenestration. King's audacity was "despicable," he intoned, and the crowd roared.Suddenly, Gingrich's questionable past was forgotten and whatever ire his record might have inspired was redirected at The Media — that monolithic target of communal contempt. Not only did Gingrich deflect attention from his immediate problem but he managed to win the public's heart.

WHO IS MORE OF A RINO, MITT OR NEWT?

LET'S LOOK AT THE RECORD:

MITT NEVER DID A TV COMMERCIAL WITH ANY DEM, BUT NEWT DID ONE WITH PELOSI SUPPORTING GLOBAL WARMING.

MITT RAN AGAINST TEDDY JO KENNEDY.

MITT NEVER PLAYED FOOTSY WITH AL SHARPTON, BUT NEWT DID - STILL DOES.

MITT DIDN'T ENDORSE SCOZZAFAVA, NEWT DID.

MITT WAS AMONG THE VERY FIRST TO ENDORSE RUBIO; NEWT WASN'T.

MITT WAS AMONG THE FIRST TO ENDORSE AYOTTE, BUT NEWT WASN'T.

MITT MADE MANY CAMPAIGN APPEARANCES WITH PALIN IN 2008, BUT NEWT DIDN'T.

MITT NEVER WORKED FOR FREDDIE MAC, BUT NEWT DID.

MITT NEVER WAS A LOBBYIST, BUT NEWT WAS.

MITT NEVER ATTACKED THE FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM , CAPITALISM, OR PEOPLE WHO WORKED HARD AND BECAME SELF-MADE MILLIONAIRES, BUT NEWT HAS.

NEWT IS MORE OF A RINO THAN MITT.

THERE ARE MORE REASONS MITT WOULD MAKE A FINE CONSERVATIVE STANDARD-BEARER AND A BETTER CANDIDATE TO DEFEAT OBAMA:

MITT IS PRO-LIFE, PRO-TAX CUTS, PRO-SPENDING CUTS, ANTI-DEFENSE CUTS, AN UNAMBIGUOUS SUPPORTER OF ISRAEL AND HAS PROMISED TO REPEAL OBAMACARE AND DODD-FRANK.

THE FACT THAT MITT PASSED A STATE HEALTHCARE REFORM MEANS THE LEFT CAN'T USE MEDISCARE AND HE CANNOT BE TARRED AS AN UN-CARING RETHUGLICAN WHO WANTS TO KEEP POOR PEOPLE FROM GETTING HEALTHCARE.

ON TOP OF THAT, THE ETHICALLY CHALLENGED SERIAL ADULTERER'S NEGATIVES ARE HORRENDOUSLY HIGH AND HE CANNOT BEAT OBAMA.

MITT IS NO ADULTERER, NO APPEASER AND NO RINO.

YOU CAN'T SAY THAT NEWT. HE IS A SERIAL ADULTERER WHO APPEASED PELOSI AND SHARPTON AND ARAFAT AND WORKED FOR FREDDIE MAC AND LOBBIED FOR OTHERS.

NEWT IS MORE OF A RINO THAN MITT. HE'S A WELL KNOWN QUANTITY BY THE ELECTORATE AND THEY DON'T LIKE HIM.

NEWT WOULD LOSE AGAINST OBAMA.

SUNUNU IS CORRECT:

NEWT'S NEGATIVES ARE STUNNING

Not every poll releases their full results, so here are the most recent favorability results I could find for Obama, Romney, and Newt.

Fox News, 1/12-1/14:
Obama, fav/unfav, 51%/46%, +5
Romney, fav/unfav, 45%/38%, +7
Gingrich, fav/unfav, 27%/56%, -29

CBS/NYT, 1/12-1/17:
Obama, fav/unfav, 38%/45%, -7
Romney, fav/unfav, 21%/35%, -14
Gingrich, fav/unfav, 17%/49%, -32

PPP, 1/13-1/17:
Obama, app/dis, 47%/50%, -3
Romney, fav/unfav, 35%/53%, -18
Gingrich, fav/unfav, 26%/60%, -34

GINGRICH HAS WORSE NEGATIVES THAN HILLARY AND PALIN.

HE IS UNELECTABLE.

---

I THINK THE TRULY MOST IMPORTANT DAMAGING MOMENT OF THE NIGHT CAME WHEN RICK SANTORUM EXPLAINED HOW NEWT WAS A LOUSY LEADER WHEN HE WAS SPEAKER.

THIS COMPLETELY CORROBORATED SUSAN MOLINARI'S DESCRIPTION OF NEWT - ONE WHICH MANY ON THE EXTREME RIGHT POOH-POOHED ON THE BASIS OF THE FACT THAT MOLINARI IS A MODERATE REPUBLICAN.

SANTORUM IS NOT A MODERATE AND HE AGREES:

NEWT IS A LOUSY LEADER WHO IS UNRELIABLE, ERRATIC AND SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED WITH THE OVAL OFFICE.

HERE'S RICK CORROBORATING MOLINARI:SANTORUM:

I will give Newt Gingrich his due on grandiose ideas and grandiose projects. I will not give him his -- his -- his due on executing those projects, which is exactly what the president of the United States is supposed to do. Four years into his speakership, he was thrown out by the conservatives. It was a coup against him in three. I served with him. I was there. I knew what the problems were going on in the House of Representatives when Newt Gingrich was leading this -- leading there. It was an idea a minute, no discipline, no ability to be able to pull things together.

HERE'S ROMNEY'S RESPONSE - WHICH IS THINK WAS GREAT:

KING: Governor Romney, you're raising your hand to come in the conversation. I want to let you in on the conversation, but also, as I do, you put an ad on the air paid by your campaign, not one of the super PAC ads, calling the Speaker an unreliable leader. Why?

ROMNEY:

Well, let me go back and address first what you just heard. What you've listened to, in my view, and the Speaker's rendition of history going back to 1978 and his involvement in Washington, is, in my view, a perfect example of why we need to send to Washington someone who has not lived in Washington, but someone who's lived in the real streets of America, working in the private sector, who's led a business, who started a business, who helped lead the Olympics, who helped lead a state. We need to have someone outside Washington go to Washington. If we want people who spent their life and their career, most of their career, in Washington, we have three people on the stage -- well, I take that back. We've got a doctor down here who spent most of his time in the surgical suite -- well not surgery, in the birthing suite. (APPLAUSE) ROMNEY: But I think America has to make a choice as to whether we're going to send people who spent their life in Washington go represent our country or, instead, whether we're going to lead -- have someone who goes who's been a leader in the private sector and knows how the economy works at the grassroots level

FLORIDIANS: VOTE MITT - THE RELIABLE CONSERVATIVE YOU CAN TRUST.

SOLID SUNSHINE...

I HOPE MITT BEATS NEWT IN THE FLORIDA PRIMARY.

OVER THE LAST DECADE, MITT HAS BEEN MORE CONSISTENTLY CONSERVATIVE THAN NEWT - WHO ENDORSED SCOZZAFAVA AND MADE A TV COMMERCIAL WITH PELOSI AND TRASHED RYAN AND WORKED FOR FREDDIE MAC.

AT THE SAME TIME, MITT WAS AMONG THE VERY FIRST TO ENDORSE AYOTTE, HALEY AND RUBIO.

AND MITT HAS A PRIVATE LIFE THAT'S MORE CONSERVATIVE THAN THE SERIAL ADULTERER AND SWINGER NEWT.

OBAMA TO IGNORE SUBPOENA

2012-01-22T09:52:00.001-05:00

From White House Dossier, dated January 21, 2012:

President Obama has been ordered to appear before a judge in Atlanta in a case challenging whether he is qualified to be president of the United States...

The judge set the hearing for this Thursday after denying on Friday a motion by Obama’s lawyer to quash a subpoena that requires Obama to personally show up.

Obama, however, will be nowhere near Atlanta on Thursday. According to the White House, he will be out West promoting the agenda he plans to lay out in Tuesday’s State of the Union address. Obama Thursday plans to make appearances in Las Vegas and Denver areas before traveling on to Detroit to spend the night....

Should we start calling Obama "Richard Milhouse Nixon"?

MORE DEMOCRAT CORRUPTION: EX-CONGRESSMAN DELAHUNT WORKS FOR PROJECT HE FINANCED WITH AN EARMARK OF OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS

2012-01-22T09:30:00.002-05:00

NYTIMES:

Soon after he retired last year as one of the leading liberals in Congress, former Representative William D. Delahunt of Massachusetts started his own lobbying firm with an office on the 16th floor of a Boston skyscraper. One of his first clients was a small coastal town that has agreed to pay him $15,000 a month for help in developing a wind energy project.

Amid the revolving door of congressmen-turned-lobbyists, there is nothing particularly remarkable about Mr. Delahunt’s transition, except for one thing. While in Congress, he personally earmarked $1.7 million for the same energy project.

THIS IS HOW THE LEFT OPERATES. OBAMA'S MACHINE DOES THIS ALL THE TIME. THE WHOLE BUNCH OF THEM SHOULD BE TARRED AND FEATHERED AND RUN OUR OF TOWN.

NEWT AND SANTORUM DID EARMARK CRAP LIKE THIS TOO. HECK: NEWT JUST ABOUT INVENTED THE EARMARK.

MITT DID NOT EARMARK ANYTHING - EVER.

ISLAMISTS CONTROL 70% OF EGYPT'S PARLIAMENT: THANK YOU, BARRY!

2012-01-21T19:46:00.002-05:00

Barry Soetoro's Middle East strategy is working:

CAIRO (AP) — Final results on Saturday showed that Islamist parties won nearly three-quarters of the seats in parliament in Egypt's first elections since the ouster of authoritarian president Hosni Mubarak, according to election officials and political groups.The Islamist domination of Egypt's parliament has worried liberals and even some conservatives about the religious tone of the new legislature, which will be tasked with forming a committee to write a new constitution. Overseeing the process will be the country's Mubarak-era military generals, who are still in charge.

In the vote for the lower house of parliament, a coalition led by the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood won 47 percent, or 235 seats in the 498-seat parliament. The ultraconservative Al-Nour Party was second with 25 percent, or 125 seats.

Referring to the Brotherhood and the Al-Nour Party as "conservative" or "ultra-conservative" is of course nonsense. They are not "conservative" parties, they are radical, revolutionary Islamists who want to up-end the 21st century and return Egypt to the 7th.

CBS EXIT POLL DATE TO BE RELEASED AT 7PM

2012-01-21T18:30:00.002-05:00

HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR:

The exit poll data showed that South Carolina voters overwhelmingly cited the economy as the most important issue, with 61 percent citing it. (The economy was the top issue in Iowa and New Hampshire as well.) It was followed by the federal budget deficit (23 percent), abortion (8 percent) and health care (4 percent). Seventy-eight percent of voters in South Carolina, where the unemployment rate is 9.9 percent, said they are "very" worried about the nation's economy.

As in Iowa and New Hampshire, South Carolina Republican voters cited electability as the most important quality in a candidate. Forty-five percent say it's most important that they have a candidate who can defeat Barack Obama in a general election, while 21 percent are most concerned someone with the right experience, 17 percent they have strong character, and 14 percent they are a true conservative.

Asked which candidate ran the most unfair campaign, 30 percent pointed to Romney, 26 percent to Gingrich and 14 percent to Paul.

CBS News will release full exit poll data when the polls close at 7:00 p.m. Eastern

MITT IS THE BEST ON THE ECONOMY AND MANAGEMENT OF THE BUDGET AND EXPERIENCE AND CHARACTER.

SO HE SHOULD HAVE WON.

BUT PEOPLE LIKED NEWT'S PUGNACITY - IN PART BECAUSE IT MIRRORS AND REINFORCES THEIR OWN ANGER.

MITT MERELY TEMPORARILY TOOK THE LEAD AFTER IOWA AND NH, BUT NEWT LED BEFORE THAT - AND AFTER.
WHAT WE HAVE IN THE RACE NOW IS TOTALLY AS EXPECTED:

THE RELIGIOUSLY RIGHT GUY WON IOWA (SANTORUM THIS TIME AS IT WAS HUCKABEE LAST TIME);

HE DID WORSE THAN SANTORUM IN THE MIDWEST AND THE NORTHEAST.
MITT DOES WELL EVERYWHERE.

KUDLOW: "NEWT DOESN'T PASS THE SMELL TEST FOR CAPITALISM"

2012-01-21T17:23:00.000-05:00

On his Saturday radio show on WABC in New York City, host of CNBC’s “The Kudlow Report” Larry Kudlow voiced his displeasure with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich attacking former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s association with Bain Capital.

At the tail-end of his show in a panel format with Wall Street Journal senior economics writer Steve Moore, Real Clear Politics editor and founder John McIntyre, and American Enterprise Institute economic columnist James Pethokoukis, Kudlow charged Gingrich did not pass the free-market capitalism test.

“Jimmy [Pethokoukis], I don’t care whether Newt wins in South Carolina or not,” Kudlow said. “He’s not going to get the nomination and I don’t even think he’s a capitalist. He’s still pecking away as he did in the last debate with this left-wing stuff. He’s saying that, ‘You know Bain Capital — it wasn’t a venture capitalist fund. It was a bad private equity fund.’ I’m sorry. He doesn’t pass the smell test for capitalism.”

DON'T VOTE NEWT!

A VOTE FOR NEWT IS A VOTE FOR OBAMA AND THE OWS SCUM.

NEWT'S STRATEGERY: MISDIRECTION

2012-01-21T16:31:00.005-05:00

INSTEAD OF DEALING WITH THE FACTS - THAT HE IS A SERIAL ADULTERER - WHO WAS REVILED BY HIS FELLOW GOP CONGRESSMEN AND FINED $300,000 BY THEM FOR ETHICAL VIOLATIONS - NEWT ATTACKS THE MEDIA AND OBAMA.

DON'T BE DUPED.

HERE ARE SOME POSSIBLE RUNNING MATES FOR NEWT

2012-01-21T15:47:00.001-05:00

GINGRICH-SCOZZAFAVA

GINGRICH-SHARPTON

GINGRICH-PELOSI

GINGRICH-ARAFAT

UPDATE: OVER AT PJM, THEY ASKED READERS WHO MIGHT BE THE BEST VEEP FOR NEWT: HERE IS ONE OF THE COMMENTS:

2. Frank Martin

Now to your question,”Who would be Newt Gingrich’s VP?”

I believe we can apply the following filter to that problem:

There is one man who fits this filter, but Vice President Biden has already pledged himself to the Obama campaign.

THE PHOTO NEWT DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SEE

2012-01-21T15:14:00.002-05:00

ESPECIALLY JEWS IN FLORIDA:

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS.

THERE'S NOT A SINGLE PHOTO LIKE THIS OF DUBYA OR SANTORUM OR RUDY OR MITT ROMNEY.

AND THEN THERE'S THIS: IN 1994 NEWT URGED CLINTON TO VETO A BILL RECOGNIZING JERUSALEM AS THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL.

UPDATE: THIS PHOTO IS ANOTHER ONE NEWT WOULD LIKE YOU TO SKIP:

NEWT'S AN UNTRUSTWORTHY SLEAZY SLIME-BALL.
