			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The big surprise is that Barack Obama actually showed up at the National Prayer Breakfast this year. What comes as no surprise is some of things he said. If you recall, he lambasted middle America for being anti-immigrant, who clung to &#8216;guns and religion,&#8217; and is now using the bible that those folks are clinging to in order to justify his agenda. How Saul Alinsky reconciles with the <i>King James</i> version of the bible can only be described as perverted at its most benign. At the National Prayer Breakfast, Obama <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/zekejmiller/obama-i-pushed-dodd-frank-and-health-care-reform" target="_blank">gave a lesson</a> in perversion 101.<span id="more-5066"></span></p>
<p>The Obama regime is so entangled with Wall Street that it&#8217;s hard to tell them apart sometimes. Tim Geithner will tell you, as well as the Citi Bank hack Jack Lew that is now his <i>chief of staff.</i> There are many other nameless Wall Street types that troll the administration. But at the prayer breakfast, Obama professed to believe that you should <i>love thy neighbor as thyself</i>. Indeed, he has done just that. So while he lectures Wall Street in front of the rest of us, the conversation is very different behind the scenes. I don&#8217;t care that Obama surrounds himself with Wall Street; he should stop pretending that he doesn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>That was just for starters. He moved on to taxes, specifically for the wealthy, which so far, has been a fuzzy line with this regime. He took <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2012:35-48;&#038;version=NIV;" target="=blank">a parable</a> from the Gospel of Luke out of context for this one. Unwittingly, Obama used a line from the parable that should be applied to him. It is a parable about the consequences of abusing authority that has been bestowed upon you. It has <i>nothing</i> to do with money, or the rich <i>paying their fair share.</i></p>
<p>He even defended his foreign policy, once again perverting a passage from the bible to do so.</p>
<p><i>Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute</i></p>
<p>This is the guy that championed the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, even now routing new aid to the regime. He installed al-Qaeda in Libya, who&#8217;s atrocities are being ignored by the msm. At the same time he stands by and does nothing about Syria. Maybe it&#8217;s better if he doesn&#8217;t do anything. He does nothing about Iran, even when the opposition begged for some kind of support a few years back. Barry didn&#8217;t want to interfere in an internal country&#8217;s affairs. Unless it was Egypt of Libya of course.</p>
<p>It was a brazen perversion of the bible in order to further his unpopular agenda. As unpopular as it is though, he could still win in November. That speaks more to the Republicans than to him. This should have been the easiest road Republicans ever had to the White House. The people were fired up in 2010, there was a bloodbath in congress, and all the Repubicans had to do is grab the brass ring. Instead, we got Newt and Mitt, who are making this a down to the wire drama.</p>
<p>You can add blasphemy to the list of Obama gaffes, and still he might win in November. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I ask again, as have many others during this primary campaign: How the hell does Newt Gingrich end up as a contender? The man lies, he&#8217;s erratic, and of the four contenders left, he is by far the most anti-American candidate. If anyone thinks there is any credence to the <i>North American Union</i> need only to look at the position of Newt Gingrich on illegal immigration and see, like Jimmy Carter, like Bush 1, like Bill Clinton, like W, and now like Obama, Newt has no interest in securing our border, and thus our sovereignty.<span id="more-5056"></span></p>
<p>Literally hours after offering amnesty to illegal aliens that served in the military, Newt took his open borders stance one step further on Wednesday. In an interview with Jorge <i>reconquista</i> Ramos of <i>Univision</i>, <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/jan/25/romney-gingrich-flip-flopper-self-deportation/?page=1" target="_blank">Gingrich proposed</a> that after the military amnesty, that there should be a <i>guest worker program</i> to let everyone else stay. And I mean everyone.</p>
<blockquote><p>“With most of them? I would urge them to get a guest-worker permit,” he said, calling for a substantial rewrite of immigration laws that would cancel existing penalties and instead let illegal immigrants stay.</p></blockquote>
<p>The real Newt Gingrich couldn&#8217;t hide forever. He&#8217;s been open borders his entire career, so the <i>get tough</i> rhetoric in regards to securing the border never held water with those that know him. And I know him. So here&#8217;s how Newt will deal with immigration. For those that have been here a number of years-those identity stealers that managed to stay under the radar, they get to stay. If they join the military-presuming they actually speak English and would understand critical orders on the battlefield-they can stay. And for anybody that doesn&#8217;t fall into either of those categories, he proposes a <i>guest worker</i> program. That covers everyone, and under a Gingrich presidency, no illegal alien will have to leave. They can stay, have families-become part of the community, and eventually fall into one of the aforementioned amnesty groups.</p>
<p>Does Newt know something we don&#8217;t? Is he trying to siphon the illegal alien voter block being assembled by Obama&#8217;s ACORN goons? Don&#8217;t put it past him. The very fact that Gingrich&#8217;s immigration policy is undiscernable from Barack Obama&#8217;s should be cause for alarm to even the most ardent Gingrich supporter. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It looks as if the brain warp that inflicts the voters of South Carolina is infecting the rest of the country. New polls show Newt Gingrich as the GOP frontrunner for the nomination and the critical task of removing Barack Obama from the White House. That fact bodes ill for the country-unless you happen to be an illegal alien. Then things are looking rosy no matter which of them ends up as president after November.<span id="more-5053"></span></p>
<p>Newt&#8217;s sob story about the illegal alien that has been sucking up resources in the United States for 25 years apparently isn&#8217;t hurting his campaign. If you recall, during a debate he said that an identity stealing criminal that managed to not get deported for decades should be able to stay in the United States, along with the family that he created while here. On Monday, <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/gingrich-says-dream-act-military-aspect-ok-032351313.html" target="_blank">he took it a step further</a>.</p>
<p>Newt Gingrich has his own version of the DREAM Act. If an illegal alien is willing to serve the country in uniform, Newt Gingrich would grant them citizenship. I&#8217;ve postulated before that the dramatic increase and pandering to illegal aliens was an effort to literally import an army that will be able to stand up to China in the years ahead. It&#8217;s not a matter of if, it&#8217;s when, and when that day comes, America is likely to be full of retired baby boomers and hurting for military personnel. Enter the illegal alien. With the numbers of illegal youth pouring into this country and the corresponding birth rates, they will have the manpower to face down a million man Chinese army in the coming decades. It&#8217;s just a theory that would be panned by many I&#8217;m sure, because most people aren&#8217;t thinking decades ahead. You can be sure an empire like the United States thinks decades into the future.</p>
<p>On the other hand, this could just be Newt looking at the cheap labor demographics change, and he&#8217;s just taking advantage. He&#8217;ll be long gone by the time America turns into a third world cesspool. Newt claims he&#8217;ll get tough on the border now, but his words <i>this very campaign</i> say something very different. So far, he&#8217;s give two separate scenarios where he would give amnesty. Can you articulate his position on securing the border and making sure illegal aliens will not take the jobs that Americans actually will do? He has no border plan, and wants to outsource E-Verify to Visa. Of course, if Newt was president, illegal aliens just might come out of the shadows, because amnesty and all the benefits of being an American citizen would await them.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the same story with Newt, the same one he&#8217;s been telling for years. <i>Just get here,</i> and you&#8217;re in. Whoever you are, Newt will find a category in which to give you amnesty. And what about the families of these individuals? Newt already said he didn&#8217;t want to break up families. And if they happen to have had at least one child in the United States, they aren&#8217;t going anywhere anyway.</p>
<p>Yet Newt surges in the polls. Are those polls accurate? They seemed to be in South Carolina. Are Mitt, Rick and Ron so bad that only Newt is fit to face Obama? I would take any of those three over Newt in a heartbeat. I don&#8217;t think Obama feels the same way, which is why I questioned the poll numbers. If it was Obama/Gingrich, Obama would have another four years. He would be their dream opponent, considering the massive baggage he carries around. It would be a nightmare for the rest of us-unless of course, you happen to be an illegal alien&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Of course, it is an open primary, so it&#8217;s hard to tell who actually voted. On the other hand, the entire nation was duped in 2008, so how difficult would it be to dupe a single state? Newt Gingrich could tell you, because with the tons of baggage that he lugs around, duping potential voters is the only way he could win anything.<span id="more-5045"></span></p>
<p>As the results pour in, it looks like Newt Gingrich will take the South Carolina primary in fairly easy fashion. After being left for dead just a few weeks ago in Iowa, Gingrich has pulled a disturbingly <i>McCanian</i> type comeback to take South Carolina and extend this nomination battle to at least one more state. But do the people really like Newt, or is there some other factor? If the exit polls are any indicator, there is definitely another factor.</p>
<p>According to an <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/elections/2012/south-carolina-primary-jan-21/exit-polls" target="_blank">exit poll</a> conducted by FOX, South Carolina voters feel Newt Gingrich is the man that can defeat Barack Obama. I looked at a few other exit polls, and they&#8217;re pretty similar. Sure, Newt would tear Barry apart in a debate, but of course, we know Newt would never get a chance. At least not the Lincoln-Douglas type debates he&#8217;s seeking. But, knowing that Obama can&#8217;t string together two sentences without a teleprompter, all Newt would likely need is a few conventional debates to make mince meat of Obama. As I understand it, that&#8217;s all <i>anyone</i> will get, <i>two debates.</i> And if some kind of <i>crisis</i> should develop between now and November, they may not even get that. In the meantime, all the garbage that Gingrich has collected over the years would be on full display, day after day, after day, after day&#8230;</p>
<p>Not that South Carolina voters are unaware of not only the baggage Gingrich has amassed, but the dirty way he does business even now. Of course, they think Romney is even dirtier, maybe going back to Iowa, but then, what do you actually need to make up about Newt Gingrich? The super pac that has Newt&#8217;s fingerprints all over it puts out more lies than truth. Looks like it paid off. That&#8217;s not the worst of it though.</p>
<p>If South Carolinians didn&#8217;t seem dazed and confused enough by giving Gingrich a victory, consider the fact that 90% of Gingrich voters either strongly or somewhat support the <i>tea party</i> movement. Strange, considering Gingrich slammed the tea party and considers it a threat to the <i>good old boys</i> network of current Republican failures. And Newt&#8217;s recent fails are well documented. Paul Ryan could tell you. Newt thinks his common sense entitlement restructuring plan is <i>social engineering.</i>. Doug Hoffman could tell you too. Newt supported a raging Democrat masquerading as a Republican in New York. He even asked Rick Santorum to bow out, even when Santorum had Iowa under his belt at the time and Newt <i>had nothing.</i> But the voters think Newt is the guy.</p>
<p>Luckily, with the volatility of this primary, past trends are out the window. I don&#8217;t think South Carolina will have a bearing on who the eventual nominee will be, although&#8230;voters wanted Gingrich because they think he can win, not necessarily because they like him. That&#8217;s something Mitt Romney doesn&#8217;t have in his corner. As for Santorum and Paul? They just don&#8217;t have the support. <i>They just wouldn&#8217;t beat Obama.</i> I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s necessarily true, especially in the case of Santorum. Look, conservatives are going to line up behind whoever gets the nomination, and if the exit polls are correct, most people don&#8217;t have a big problem with Santorum. He might be more morally conservative than people are comfortable with, but as a candidate, as a man, at least he&#8217;s not <i>disliked</i>, which is not the case with either Gingrich or Romney.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s realistically down to those two though. Funny, the two that draw the most opposition are also the frontrunners. I don&#8217;t think Gingrich can win. His record would be on full display in a general election, and the Obama campaign would make sure a real debate would never happen. Romney is so wishy-washy that he just wouldn&#8217;t draw the enthusiasm, although I can&#8217;t imagine anyone being undecided between Romney and Obama. I don&#8217;t think Romney would break anything. I don&#8217;t think he would fix anything to any degree, but at least we wouldn&#8217;t have to worry about him <i>transforming</i> the country. If whoever the candidate was just focused on undoing the damage Obama has wrought, that would be good enough for me. That&#8217;s all I can expect from a politician. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How would you like United States domestic policy being dictated straight from the bowels of Mexico City? Well, it doesn&#8217;t matter if you like it or not, because that&#8217;s what we have now. Here we have yet another example of the myth of a <i>post racial</i> presidency. This president is immersed in racial and ethnic divisiveness, and he&#8217;s surrounded himself with the kind of people that will only feed the hate. Barack Obama has elevtated <i>la raza</i> to the highest levels of government, and the damage that already been inflicted on this country is only going to get worse with this latest move.<span id="more-5040"></span></p>
<p>When Obama was installed in 2008, one of his first crony picks was Cecilia Munoz as <i>Intergovernmental affairs</i> director. Munoz, the former Senior vice President of the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), a vehement anti-American ethnic hate group quickly made good use of her new position. At the time, I wasn&#8217;t sure what that position entailed technically, and after Munoz was through&#8230;I still don&#8217;t know what the actual job entails.</p>
<p>We know what she did while in that position though. According to <a href="http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2012/01/nclrs-munoz-promoted-to-wh-domestic-policy-director/" target="_blank"><i>Judicial watch</i></a>, the taxpayer funded pipeline of money to NCLR <i>doubled</i> the year she came on board, from $4.1 million to $11 million. The majority of that money came from the Department of Labor, headed by Hilda Solis, yet another anti-American racist that has her hands on millions of dollars of taxpayer money. She took that money and handed it over to NCLR, while issuing guidelines protecting <i>migrant</i> workers. As of today, I don&#8217;t know of <i>anything</i> she&#8217;s done to benefit the American worker. Of course, if you ask Solis, <i>la raza</i> is the real American worker and she can claim she&#8217;s done plenty.</p>
<p>Munoz routed millions of dollars more to la raza in the form of grants to front organizations with the exact same agenda as NCLR. Exactly the same, because they were the same. Now, Munoz will be able to shape domestic policy in the United States, and if her track record is any indicator then we&#8217;ll all need to brush up on our Spanish.</p>
<p>Obama didn&#8217;t pass amnesty, but he&#8217;s made sure the Justice Department cracks down on any state that dares defend itself from illegal immigration, fights any and all voter ID laws that would weed out fraudulent votes, he&#8217;s lied about border security, and even more recently he&#8217;s lied about the number of deportations that the administration is currently bragging about. <i>Just as I suspected.</i> He&#8217;s had the likes of Munoz and Solis there the entire time to further weaken the sovereignty of this country. And you can <i>be sure</i> it has been weakened.</p>
<p>Check out the <a href="http://www.judicialwatch.org/" target="_blank">Judicial Watch</a> web site. It&#8217;ll knock your socks off, and not in a good way. We hear this and that from the Republican candidates on building a fence, blah, blah, blah, but we hear <i>nothing</i> about this. we have a parallel government that supports illegal aliens and it is completely funded by the American taxpayer. So far, <i>all of the candidates</i> have dropped the ball on this issue, and unless the idea is to not piss off the la raza voting block before November, I don&#8217;t see much changing, whoever gets into the White House. Of course, I could be wrong. Most presidents have a very detailed agenda that doesn&#8217;t go over in the world of media soundbites. Sure, all those Republican candidates might have a plan to deal with this mess, but so far, I haven&#8217;t seen it. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you believe Gallup, America is a center-right nation. Of course, they aren&#8217;t the only ones that have come to this conclusion, and if November 2010 was any indicator, a poll wasn&#8217;t even necessary. But there was a poll, and if there are still any doubters, then they can look at the results on paper and come to the conclusion that those results are pretty accurate. It begs the question though, if America is indeed a center-right nation, how did the likes of Barack Obama and until recently, a far-left super majority end up in Washington?<span id="more-5037"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/152021/Conservatives-Remain-Largest-Ideological-Group.aspx" target="_blank">The Gallup poll shows</a> that 40% of Americans see themselves as conservative, 35% moderate, and 21% as liberal. Apparently, there are some people that have no political persuasion at all. This is the third year running that more Americans have called themselves conservative, and even before that, moderates still outnumbered liberals by far.</p>
<p>No surprise that conservatism rose in the three years since Obama has taken office. What was lost in moderates was gained with conservatives. Liberalism has increased as well, but still lags well behind both moderates and conservatives. So how did Obama end up in the White House?</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s do the math. 40% + 35% = center-right. Libs make up 21%, nowhere near the kinds of numbers that could propel the likes of Obama to victory. So how then?</p>
<p>Rarely is there a single reason for a situation such as this. Let&#8217;s look at a few factors that at least contributed to this debacle. First off, George Bush was no conservative per se, he was a crony capitalist. Cheap labor from open borders and selling off every piece of America he could get his hands on was in diametric opposition to the will of the American people. The Republicans in Congress were no better, and they were punished by America, either by emboldening the liberals to come out and vote or by dis-inspiring conservative voters. The last straw may have been John McCain as <i>the best</i> they could offer. Then there was the ACORN factor. We can&#8217;t discount that. They were caught red-handed engaging in voter fraud in multiple states. How many states went to Obama as a result of ACORN chicanery can only be estimated.</p>
<p>If you really want to dig deep, we know that there were voting anomalies across the nation via electronic voting machines, and those machines remain in place today. Doug Hoffman in New York can tell you what a real issue that is. Then we have the voters that shouldn&#8217;t be voting. We go back to open borders. We know illegal aliens are voting, but like ACORN fraud, we can only estimate the impact.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure that anybody reading this can come up with even more reasons that contributed to an Obama victory. But that&#8217;s how fast it can happen In 75% center-right country, a guy who <i>still</i> hasn&#8217;t come up with a legitimate birth certificate, has sealed his academic records, his passport information, and thus his citizenship info when he was a student, was a disciple of a racist, and vehement anti-American in the form of Jeremiah Wright, started his political career in the home of terrorist Bill Ayers, and <i>no</i> executive experience whatsoever, became President of the United States. Conservatives had become complacent, but like the open borders crowd, the Saul Alinsky, socialist/commie/nanny state crowd was <i>laser focused</i> on their goal. That&#8217;s it, they have a goal. If you have a goal, and you&#8217;re focused on that goal, you&#8217;ll probably succeed. The good news is that although the Obama contingent still have their goal of turning this country into a third world socialist nightmare, conservatives-and moderates for that matter now have their own goal: Getting rid of Obama and his liberal minority, and restoring the values that made this country great. We just need to focus that goal with more than just a general idea though. If you need some ideas of where to focus, check out this blog or any of the others on the blogroll.</p>
<p>With 75% of the population, we have the numbers easily by far. Sure, Obama is going to lie, cheat and connive to get himself another four years, but the reality is, <i>he can&#8217;t take us all.</i> November 2010 showed us that. We have an idea of how an imposter like Barack Obama got into the White House. To make sure that doesn&#8217;t happen again, all we have to do is show up. But <i>we do</i> have to show up. So when you see the Republican candidates slapping each other around, keep in mind, in the end, it&#8217;s <i>anybody but Obama.</i> We&#8217;ll start there and move forward.</p>
<p>All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Where it will be next week is anybodys guess. I said that it was only a matter of time before Newt Gingrich implodes. We have arrived. Newt was riding high in Iowa until the voters took a look at what he actually was: A cantankerous, open borders opportunist who has flipped flopped even more than the man he&#8217;s targeted for attack, Mitt Romney. Whether it&#8217;s immigration, global warming, his contempt for the tea party, his COD support of Fannie Mae, his support for a single payer health care nightmare, and his opposition to Paul Ryan&#8217;s common sense approach to entitlement programs, Gingrich has alienated the very voters he seeks to hoodwink. Well, he hadn&#8217;t alienated <i>all of them.</i> That is until now.<span id="more-5033"></span></p>
<p>Mitt Romney&#8217;s time at Bain Capital is public record, so it should have been no problem getting the facts on just what he did during his time there. In fact, it is no problem at all. For Newt Gingrich that created a problem  out of thin air. For everything else that&#8217;s wrong with Mitt Romney, he did manage to create jobs while at Bain. But a super pac-run by former Gingrich staffers have a totally different spin on what Romney did. They even went as far as concocting a <i>documentary</i>, chronicling the activities of the <i>corporate vulture</i> as he destroyed lives in the name of profit. Focusing on a few companies in South Carolina, Newt thought he had the formula to not only destroy Romney in the latest battleground, but to present himself as the consevative&#8217;s conservative, in contrast to the moderate Romney. Unfortunately for Gingrich, the Voters of South Carolina aren&#8217;t the dumb hicks he took them to be and the blowback is propelling Romney to almost certain victory in South Carolina.</p>
<p>Like something out of a Barack Obama campaign attack, the super pac&#8217;s film mercilessly attacks not only Romney, but capitalism itself. Because Bain couldn&#8217;t save <i>every company</i> it bought, that constituted an attack on American workers from the evil capitalists at Bain. Gingrich has met such severe oppositon to the film that <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/gingrich-calls-super-pac-supporting-him-fix-enormous-192029893.html" target="_blank">he&#8217;s now <i>flip-flopped</i></a>, and wants the film either edited, or nixed all together. Not only have the voters of South Carolina torn the film apart, but even the main stream media has panned it. You would think the msm would have an interest in watching the Repulicans tear themselves apart, but not even they could tacitly approve the outright falsehoods portrayed in the film.</p>
<blockquote><p>The Washington Post&#8217;s Glenn Kessler&#8217;s awarded the video &#8220;Four Pinocchios&#8221; in his assessment, which puts &#8220;King of Bain&#8221; in a class of the worst offenders with &#8220;significant factual error[s].&#8221;<br />
Politifact, a Pulitzer-prize winning project of the St. Petersburg Times, said two claims in the film were &#8220;mostly false.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Too late Newt. The latest polls show Mitt Romney widening his lead in South Carolina, a disastrous development for the Gingrich campaign. With a checkered past and now a just as checkered present, Newt Gingrich <i>should be</i> finished. In fact, if not for donations from some rich crony that he will no doubt owe, Gingrich would already be done.</p>
<p>Yes, we can now add liar to the long list of negatives attributed to Newt Gingrich. I don&#8217;t know how many more articles I need to write to help finish this guy off, but I&#8217;ll write as many as I have to. Nice job Newt, I&#8217;m sure Mitt Romney thanks you. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With Newt Gingrich blathering on about what a <i>moderate</i> Mitt Romney is, you would think he would be highlighting his conservative credentials in contrast. Instead, he sounds like he&#8217;s reading a script straight out of the White House. Rick Perry is no better, and his rhetoric is even more incendiary. The governor who&#8217;s created <a href="/2011/10/11/rick-perrys-immigration-albatross/" target="_blank">thousands of jobs for immigrants</a> <i>at the expense</i> of native Texans is railing against Romney for supposedly <i>destroying</i> communities during his time at Bain Capital. Sure <a href="http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/203581-right-wing-rips-gingrich-perry-for-attacks-on-romney-capitalism" target="_blank">sounds like desperation</a> time to me.<span id="more-5029"></span></p>
<p>The New Hampshire primaries are history, and as expected, Mitt Romney came out on top by a wide margin. <a href="http://americaswatchtower.com/2012/01/11/new-hampshire-primary-wrap-up-on-to-south-carolina/" target="_blank">America&#8217;s Watchtower</a> called it like a grade A Rasmussen poll, and also has a pretty good summary of each candidate&#8217;s fate. Gingrich managed double digits, enough I suppose to hope for a McCainian type comeback, and Rick Perry-he&#8217;s out. He should stop wasting his and other people&#8217;s money. They should both knock off the obamaesque rhetoric.</p>
<p>I think this is the significant story coming out of New Hampshire. A Gingrich pac is running ads portraying Romney as a <i>corporate raider</i>, and a scavenger. I&#8217;m no supporter of Mitt Romney, but the <i>fact</i> is, that he actually created jobs during his time there. Yes, some unprofitable companies had to go-they weren&#8217;t propped up the way Obama did it, and other companies ended up thriving and hiring even more employees. Think <i>Staples.</i> These ads were running as Gingrich trolled New Hampshire bashing Romney as a moderate, indistinguishable from Barack Obama. In this case, it is Gingrich that is on the same page as Obama.</p>
<p>Rich Perry topped the Gingrich pac without any help at all. He referred to Romney&#8217;s activities at Bain capital as <i>vulture capitalism</i>, that was irresponsible and destroyed communities. Well Rick, lover of illegal aliens (speaking of destroying communities) option B would be to <i>bail out</i> those failing companies, and in this case on the dime of a private company. Instead, they took limited resources and put them where they would do the most good. The result was 1000&#8242;s of jobs created. Rick Perry is focusing on two towns in South Carolina where Bain couldn&#8217;t save some companies there. Some companies fail Rick-unless of course they have the capacity to be bailed out. It sounds like that&#8217;s what Rick Perry would have done.</p>
<p>Of course, Perry would have done nothing of the kind, but in his zeal to find something to stop the tide from turning to Romney, he and Gingrich came up with a scheme to attack from the left. The result, unfortunately for them, is driving conservatives to the defense of Mitt Romney. I&#8217;m no supporter of Mitt Romney, but hell, they even have me defending him!</p>
<p>It remains to be seen what the fallout will be from these particular attacks. I think Perry is done-and has been since Iowa, and if this doesn&#8217;t finish off that phony Gingrich, then this country is in more trouble than I thought. In the end, I think it will hurt Gingrich, and that will leave Romney, Paul and Santorum as the only viable candidates left. This is what the primaries are for, to chip away until only one candidate remains, and so far, with the available candidates, things are going pretty much to plan, despite the msm trying to paint a picture of disarray among Republican ranks. There&#8217;s no disarray. Whoever gets the nod will have the full support of conservatives, because it&#8217;s <i>anybody but Obama.</i> My guess is that it will be Romney, but in the meantime, it will be interesting to see the Gingrich and Perry campaigns implode. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Iowa caucuses are now history, and if anyone has been looking at the polls the last few days, there were no surprises. If anybody was shocked by the performance of Rick Santorum, they needed only to look at the fact that he was surging at the right moment, and that a high percentage of caucus voters were undecided as the vote loomed. No surprise to me. Does this mean we have a three man race now? Not necessarily.<span id="more-5023"></span></p>
<p>Despite some <i>voting irregularities</i> last night, the results of the Iowa caucuses pretty much followed what the polls were predicting. I say pretty much, because there was a chance that Ron Paul could have walked away with the win. He didn&#8217;t count on Rick Santorum though, and I think in the end it hurt him. While Romney&#8217;s support stayed steady-as it has since 2008, Ron Paul&#8217;s dipped slightly, enough to drop him to third place, and the reason was likely Rick Santorum. All three had a respectable showing though, and it will propel them on to New Hampshire. A very different landscape from Iowa.</p>
<p>New Hampshire is Mitt Romney&#8217;s proverbial back yard, and those same polls that accurately called Iowa are showing Romney with a commanding lead there. The way this primary has been going, that could change this week, but don&#8217;t count on it. In fact, Rick Santorum isn&#8217;t even putting up a fight in New Hampshire, although Newt Gingrich will be there as a proxy. While Newt now has no chance of getting the nomination, he could conceivably damage Romney in the next week and give Santorum something to fight for in South Carolina.</p>
<p>But the reality is, that Romney is the annointed one, and it will be very hard to beat him. As I understand it, the reason candidates are not on  the ballot in Virginia is that the commonwealth changed the rules midstream. It didn&#8217;t hurt Romney, but it ruined Rick Santorum. If Romney gets to South Carolina with three states under his belt, it&#8217;s pretty much over. Ron Paul supporters would beg to differ, but in my humble opinion, that would give Romney the air of invincibility.</p>
<p>In the end though, whoever the candidate is, ideal or not, it&#8217;s <i>anybody but Obama.</i> None of the Republican candidates could be worse than him, although I think Newt Gingrich would give it a shot.</p>
<p>At least this time around the candidates are getting more press. In 2008, it was all Obama, all the time, and there were Republicans such as Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter that were pushed to the curb in the heat of the primary battle. There&#8217;s nothing like free press to boost your campaign, and they didn&#8217;t get it. I think the candidates got it this time. Comprehensive? Well, we are talking about the mainstream media. At least the names are out there, and if people do their homework they can make an intelligent choice without any candidates being lost in the shuffle. We shall see what kind of homework was indeed done in the coming weeks. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>But he apparently wants to keep it a secret, at least until he&#8217;s safely inside 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Of course, Newt Gingrich&#8217;s poll numbers are plummeting, and he won&#8217;t even be on the ballot in Virginia, So we may not have to worry about it. I just want to be the guy that slams the door on his way out.<span id="more-5019"></span></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a wonder Newt Gingrich isn&#8217;t commiserating with John Huntsman at the back of the Republican presidential contender pack. The tea party bashing, open borders goon that defends his position to this day, he&#8217;s also had his share of legendary flip-flops. As he bashed Mitt Romney for his individual mandate in Massachusetts, he himself supported the <i>exact same thing</i>, even lauding Romney&#8217;s plan specifically before he decided he was against it. Or is he against it, that&#8217;s the question. He bashed Paul Ryan&#8217;s economic plan, labeling it <i>social engineering.</i> If that&#8217;s the case, you would think Gingrich would be on board with it. But Newt Gingrich&#8217;s brand of social engineering tilts more to the left than to the right. Just ask Freddie Mac, who paid him more than a million dollars to push their agenda. Gingrich claims he tried to change Freddie&#8217;s ways, but his public actions tell a different story. And in the spirit of social engineering, Newt Gingrich now disavows his global warming commercial with his pal Nancy Pelosi, calling it <i>the dumbest single thing I&#8217;ve done</i>. But did he really mean that? Again, <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/gingrich-says-scrapping-climate-change-chapter-upcoming-book-021906064.html" target="_blank">new information emerges</a> that tell a different story.</p>
<p>Newt is coming up with a new book pretty soon, and he originally commissioned a global warming shill to write an entire chapter for him.</p>
<blockquote><p>The Times said it would include a chapter on climate change by Katharine Hayhoe, an atmospheric scientist at Texas Tech who has said there is “no debate” about the reality of climate change and “the fact that humans are the primary cause.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Feeling the heat from voters in Iowa and seeing his poll numbers spiraling downward though, Gingrich has either shifted position-or decided his position on global warming is none of your business. Now he&#8217;s decided that the chapter <i>will not</i> be in the book. Up until the word got out though, that chapter <i>was</i> going to be in the book.</p>
<p>Open borders, opportunist global warming alarmist. Don&#8217;t forget that this is the same guy that would arrest judges that disagree with him. Think global warming and individual mandates. Arrest judges. Lucky for us it looks like Gingrich is losing steam and won&#8217;t likely have a shot at the GOP candidacy. With any luck at all, this will be his last hurrah and we won&#8217;t hear from him again. That may be asking too much though.</p>
