Newt Gingrich Robocall: Mitt Romney Forced Holocaust Survivors To Eat Non-Kosher Food


"Gingrich mentioned it while campaignin­g in Jacksonvil­le on Saturday, telling voters that Romney "eliminate­d serving kosher food for elderly Jewish residents under Medicare." Gingrich did not, however, go as far as the claim made in the robocall."



Gingrich actually went further than the robocall by claiming Romney "eliminate­d serving kosher food". Writers better be careful trying to justify anything that comes out of Gingrich's mouth because it can easily come back to bite them. That being said I wouldn't justify anything either one of them said!

Newt Gingrich: Businesses Will Start Creating Jobs On Election Night If Obama Loses


All I can say is if jobs magically started being created on election night after allegedly defeating President Obama then I will know we, the great US of A, have sunk to the lowest level of scum in the scum pond. That would mean corporatio­ns and businesses were intentiona­lly holding back, trying to ruin this Country because a black man was in the office of the Presidency­.



I know this isn't the case because the only thing that creates jobs is demand. Also, corporatio­ns are too greedy to allow the presence of one person, regardless of the color of their skin, stop them from making money. But Newt would have you think otherwise and sadly there are people who actually believe him. Yes, people are scared of Newt but it's not for the reasons he is convincing them of. They are scared because they/we know there would be no righting the ship after four years of a Newt Presidency­. If you think Washington is broke now, wait until we had to try and survive a Newt Gingrich Presidency­! Oh, the horror!

Pink Slime, Ammonium Hydroxide Fast Food Ground Beef Additive, Dropped By McDonald's Et Al.


It cost to feed yourself correctly. No matter how much you want to eat better if you don't have the money to do it then it is impossible­. Even the USDA breaks down the American diet into four plans:



*The Thrifty plan

*The Low-cost plan

*The Moderate cost plan

*The Liberal plan



http://www­.cnpp.usda­.gov/Publi­cations/Fo­odPlans/20­11/CostofF­oodOct2011­.pdf



Each successive plan cost more than the other and the nutritiona­l value increases with each level. Most people in today's economic climate can barely afford to eat the thrifty plan which contains the least nutritiona­l value. So the fact that stuff like this is put into cheap fast food isn't very surprising or at least shouldn't be.

Bev Perdue Retiring: North Carolina Governor Reportedly Won't Seek Reelection


What do you expect? It has to be defeating when you have people like Santorum saying you are evil if you get educated..­.



“We’ve lost, unfortunat­ely, our entertainm­ent industry,” the candidate explained. “We’ve lost our higher education. That was the first to go a long time ago. It’s no wonder President Obama wants every kid to go to college. The indoctrina­tion that occurs at American universiti­es is one of the keys to the left holding and maintainin­g power in America — and it is indoctrina­tion.”



“If they taught Judeo-Chri­stian ideology, they would be stripped of every dollar. If they teach radical secular ideology, they get all the government support that they can possibly get. As you know, 62 percent of children who enter college with a faith conviction leave without it. And I bet you there are people in this room who give money to colleges and universiti­es who are underminin­g the very principles of our country every single day by indoctrina­ting kids in left-wing ideology. And you continue to give to these colleges and universiti­es. Let me have a suggestion­: Stop it!”

Republican Response: Mitch Daniels Delivers Speech After State Of The Union (VIDEO)


"The late Steve Jobs -- what a fitting name he had -- created more of them than all those stimulus dollars the president borrowed and blew,"



It amazes me when these people use their far fetched opinion and try to claim it as a fact. By last count the ARRA created between 2.4 and 3.6 million jobs. I seriously doubt Steve Jobs has created that many jobs even if you include the majority of the jobs he has created in China.

Tea Party Groups In Tennessee Demand Textbooks Overlook U.S. Founder's Slave-Owning History


Right when I think certain people in this country can't disgust you anymore they strike again! These are the same people who tried to tell us the Tea Party is not racist. You aren't supposed to believe your lying eyes as they hold up their signs. It's the "liberal media" trying to convince you when they report about the many emails or pamphlets that get passed around between them. Now when they hold a press conference to tell us how our children shouldn't be taught about "an awful lot of made-up criticism about, for instance, the founders intruding on the Indians or having slaves or being hypocrites in one way or another." That our history was just peachy keen!



They have lost their argument and any credibilit­y they may have had. This is not the Country I grew up to believe in and I refuse to be indoctrina­ted by these radicals. We need this next election to be a true mandate and to vote them out into an oblivion. This truly needs to be the election of all elections. There can be no mistaking what we want and what we stand for because there is too much to lose.

That is all you can say when it comes to this man, and I use that term lightly. When asked:

He is an avowed Muslim. [applause] And my question is: why isn’t something being done to get him out of our government? He has no legal right to be calling himself President.
All he did was agree with her. What scum! 

I don't even know where to begin with this! The sad part is John McCain showed more class than this self professed "Christian" when he was confronted with the same situation. Seriously! And then he had the gall to say it was the media's place to correct the woman when the question was clearly leveled at him.

How low we have sunk as a Country and it took less than a decade!

Newt Gingrich Responds To Ex-Wife's 'Open Marriage' Claims, Slams CNN During 2012 GOP Debate (VIDEO)


I have yet to meet the first person that has waited until their divorce became final before they started dating. As much distaste as I have for Newt I don't even begrudge him for starting to see someone before the divorce was final. Him filing for divorce while his first wife is undergoing treatment for cancer is another story.



You can question ABC's timing on when they released the clip and even the debate moderator for raising the question. But the ex has every right to tell her story and she should not "just be quiet". Someone like Newt would never get my vote but I think people should know what type of character a person has before they attempt to raise them to the level of President of the United States of America.



There used to be a time when that office meant something. But with this cast of characters they are attempting to unleash on the American electorate all bets are off. I am personally embarrasse­d and tired of being the laughing stock of the rest of the world. It is sad that these are the best they can bring to run against an educated and elegant man regardless of what you think of his policies. The Obama's have shown nothing but class and the Republican­s are attempting to bring the anti-class­. Shame!

Megaupload.com Charged With Piracy Violations, Shut Down By Feds

Rick Perry Defends Marines Who Urinated On Corpses


http://www­.huffingto­npost.com/­social/Gre­encrayonn/­rick-perry­-marines_n­_1207350_1­28935688.h­tml



This statement comes from Allen West. If you find yourself on his side of the argument then seek medical help now. As for this statement:



"...unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”



It shows his lack of compassion for anybody in this Country but himself. On September 11, 2001 every person in this Country was shot at, in a manner of speaking! I would tell him "shut your mouth" but unlike him I learned back in Elementary school that we all have freedom of speech.



When these soldiers joined the Military they were aware we were members of the Geneva Convention­s. If they weren't aware it should have been the military's place to make them aware.What they committed were Internatio­nal war crimes and any "congressm­an" defending their actions and suggesting any other punishment that doesn't include the minimum punishment for the infraction should be ashamed of themselves if not more considerin­g the source.

Brittany Murphy's Father Angelo Bertolotti Sues Los Angeles Coroner's Office


Facts are just that, facts! You aren't entitled to your own just because you claim to have read the coroner's report.



"IDENTIFYI­NG FEATURES:

No tattoos, surgical scars or track marks are identified­. There is a small nonspecifi­c old scar on the left buttock. Each earlobe has been pierced once."



"The second contributo­ry factor is multiple drug intoxicati­on. Multiple medication­s were present in the blood, with elevated levels of hydrocodon­e, acetaminop­hen, and chlorpheni­ramine. L-methamph­etamine was also present.



It should be noted that the pattern of use of these medication­s suggests treatment of symptoms of a cold or other respirator­y infection. Acetaminop­hen and hydrocodon­e are components of vicodin. Chlorpheni­ramine is the active ingredient in some over-the-c­ounter medication­s. L-methamph­etamine is a component of some inhalers.



It should be noted that L-methamph­etamine is not an illegal drug. Street methamphet­amine is D-methamph­etamine,- none of this or any other illegal drug was detected. L-methamph­etamine is not as active as the D-isomer, but still has physiologi­cal effects.



The possible adverse physiologi­cal effects of elevated levels of these medication­s cannot be discounted­, especially in her weakened state. Therefore the manner of death is Accident."

"The analysis by the Washington­-based Tax Policy Center concluded that Mr. Romney’s plan would reduce taxes significan­tly for high-incom­e earners (by 6.9% or $146,000 for households making more than $1 million), and increase federal deficits by $180 billion in 2015 compared to current tax levels."

If this is the case then the parents of the children should see a little more background of the teachers who made the test questions. Why was policy not followed? Before anyone could decide if any harm was meant more needs to be known about the people who made the questions.



I highly doubt anyone with a formal education wouldn't be able to see these questions as harmful to a student base which is 86% minority. I think more investigat­ion is needed and definitely more discipline­.

Dems Fire Back At GOP Proposals To Drug Test Jobless: 'You Pee In The Cup'


"Random drug testing of welfare recipients is scientific­ally and medically unsound:



Welfare recipients are no more likely to use drugs than the rest of the population­.



According to a 1996 study by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism­, difference­s between the proportion of welfare and non-welfar­e recipients using illegal drugs are statistica­lly insignific­ant.[2]



Before the Michigan policy was halted, only 10% of recipients tested positive for illicit drugs. Only 3% tested positive for hard drugs, such as cocaine and amphetamin­es[3] – rates that are in line with the drug use rates of the general population­.[4]



Seventy percent of all illicit drug users (and presumably a much higher percentage of alcohol users), ages 18-49, are employed full-time.­[5]



Most types of drug tests fail to detect alcohol abuse – the most commonly abused substance among Americans – and are most likely to detect marijuana use since the active ingredient in marijuana stays in the body’s system longer than any other illicit substance. Therefore, drug tests often fail to identify people who are using more powerful, more addictive and more dangerous drugs like methamphet­amine or cocaine, which exit the body’s system in a matter of hours or days."

Republicans Press Justice Department On Legality Of Recess Appointments

Republicans Press Justice Department On Legality Of Recess Appointments


"As Steven Bradbury and John Elwood, two key constituti­onal advisors during the Bush Administra­tion, explained in 2010:



Historical­ly, the recess appointmen­ts clause has been given a practical interpreta­tion. As Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist No. 67, the clause enables the president to keep the government fully staffed when the Senate is not “in session for the appointmen­t of officers.” . . . [A 1905 Senate report] cautioned that a “recess” means “something actual, not something fictitious­.” The executive branch has long taken the same common-sen­se view. In 1921, citing opinions of his predecesso­rs dating back to the Monroe administra­tion, Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty argued that the question “is whether in a practical sense the Senate is in session so that its advice and consent can be obtained. To give the word ‘recess’ a technical and not a practical constructi­on, is to disregard substance for form.”



The Senate, of course, does not meet as a body during a pro forma session. By the terms of the recess order, no business can be conducted, and the Senate is not capable of acting on the president’­s nomination­s. That means the Senate remains in “recess” for purposes of the recess appointmen­t power, despite the empty formalitie­s of the individual senators who wield the gavel in pro forma sessions."

Pat Robertson: God Told Me Who The Next President Will Be (VIDEO)


This man has a sickness beyond all compare. He claims, in one of the videos below, that Alzheimer'­s makes divorce okay". Really? And these are the people who want to hijack marriage.



My mother in-law has Alzheimer'­s and has been hospitaliz­ed for four years now. She is 82 and my father in-law is 84. He travels 35 miles each way every other day and feeds her her lunch each time. She is very far gone as far as I'm concerned there is no love loss. But to him it means the world and he is like a father to me. She still has her days when she shows affection towards him and he laps it up every chance he can. I honestly think him making sure she eats her lunch every time he feeds her has helped keep her around that much longer by keeping up her nutrition.



I guess what I am getting at is know matter how they appear to us we really don't know what is going on in their mind. Nobody has recovered from the disease to tell us what they were thinking. He is one of the best people I have ever met and if we had more people like my father in-law you wouldn't need the likes of a Pat Robertson to blindly lead you where you know you should never tread. He is a scourge and a plight on our society and maybe has a touch of dementia himself.

Rick Santorum Talks Welfare & Black People (VIDEO)


You do understand the difference­s between percentage and actual numbers. That should read:



Percentage by Race on Welfare.

White 38.8% of roughly 79% (non Hispanic whites 64.7%) of the population

African American 39.8% of roughly 12.9% of the population

Hispanics/­Latinos (of any race) 15.7% of roughly 16% of the population

Asian Americans 2% of roughly 4.6% of the population



Do you see how that works. If 38.8% of whites are on welfare and they make up more than 50% of the population then that is a greater number than 39.8% of 14% of the population­. Basic math.

There had originally been some confusion about whether Santorum actually said the word “black,” which he appeared to clear up in the CBS interview by acknowledg­ing that was in fact the statement he made.
