Election 2012 Is Comming

Newt sure seems to be tapping into the conservative, "make government smaller" sentiment thats out there. Sure he has baggage. Which of them don't?

He is my new ABO Candidate (Anybody But Obama) candidate! I think the Republican primary will come down to Newt and Romney. And, the fact that Newt is tied with Romney in New Hampshire really says something. New Hampshire is in Romney's backyard. Its the countries desire to have a true conservative in the race.... at least according to Fox News

Why are the democrates so in picking the republican nominee? They really want Romney, Why?

As for the OWS.... The fact that Obama, Pelosi, and the like are in favor of them we at least know it is the democrats counter part to the Tea Party.

As for Newt, He doesn't have any baggage we haven't seen before and most is old news and done. He did get much done to which Clinton gets credit for and can work with both sides, Something Obama can't and usually refuses to do. He is definately a bigger threat for the Dems.

maybe we should consider another, oops i pulled the trigger like Kent state?

Let's look at the unbiased poll conducted by Fox News then:

FOX asked its visitors: What do you think the tea party movement is about?
Of the nearly quarter million votes cast, the overwhelming majority of the respondents (80 percent) clicked on the choice entitled: "Fruitless mix of racism, conspiracy theories."
Only 13 percent chose: "Small government and fiscal responsibility," while five percent selected: "Voicing outrage at out-of-touch politicians."
The remaining two percent split their votes between: "Exposing Democrats' Socialist agenda" and "Other."
And this is the FOX News web site! Of course, it's not a scientific poll and they clearly mention that on their site.

Isn't it clearly apparent that OWS is just a bunch of thugs that want a......??? What the heck do they want? They sure don't have a message....or leader....or demand. Just a bunch of anarchists that like to keep productive people from getting anything done.

Maybe the Tea Party isn't out "occupying" everyday, but, I would submit to you that the Tea Party movement is very much alive and well in the way that most Americans have adopted their philosphy as a core belief.

I consider myself very much aligned with the Tea Party, but, I am not out carrying signs and protesting every day. I am just too busy working.

But, you can bet your last dollar when it comes time to vote, I will be the first one in line to vote conservative, and remove Obama from office. I think there are many millions like me. Call us the silent majority!!

Talk about a debate.I would be glued to the TV on that one. 2 totally different views on polocy..

I would love to watch Obama debate Newt. It will be interesting to see how Obama seeks to control the debate forum to find some type of home field advantage. I think Newt would mop the floor with him regardless. Even Better would be a debate between Newt and Biden.

Newt's baggage is nothing new, just being reintroduced. Same with Fanny, not a scandal. he advised them, they didn't take the advise. His company got millions, not necessarily all to him. He didn't register as a lobbyist. Fanny says he was not a lobbyist, No scandal. He scares the democrats because he will be hard to run against. Newts pluses are the Clinton years which all democrats boast of. Those years were ideas started by Newt that Clinton got credit for and the ability to work both sides to get things passed. Obama with his anti republican retoric is going to discourage independents.

Watch the media now that newt is leading in the polls, suddenly Cains issues will go away, but they will relentlessly pursue Newt. Obama of course will continue to get his free ride.

Of course we hear very little on this.

Recent emails suggest that politics did play a role in administration decisions regarding its energy loan guarantee programs. But beyond the timing of political announcements, the Solyndra investigation has churned up questions about the White House's overall strategy of doling out taxpayer money.

    
The rolls of green energy subsidies show that beyond a few headline-grabbing cases, several well-connected Democrats obtained taxpayer assistance for environmentally friendly projects.

Among the recipients are:

-- Solyndra, which received $535 million in loan guarantees and whose chief investor was the George Kaiser Family Foundation. George Kaiser was an Obama campaign bundler.

-- Brightsource Energy, which received $1.6 billion and whose senior adviser is Robert Kennedy, Jr., an early Obama backer;

-- Solar Reserve, which got a $737 million loan, and whose major investor is a company run by Michael Froman, who was a deputy assistant to the president. Froman bundled up to $500,000 for the president's 2008 campaign;

-- Granite Reliable Wind Generation, which received a $168.9 million loan. The company's majority owner is a firm formerly led by Nancy Ann DeParle, now a White House deputy chief of staff and former head of the president's health care communications team during the reform debate; and

-- Abound Solar, which received a loan guarantee worth $400 million. A key investor is billionaire heiress Pat Stryker, who gave $87,000 to Obama's inauguration committee, and hundreds of thousands more to Democratic causes.

Peter Schweizer, author of the book, "Throw Them All Out," wrote that at least 10 members of Obama's finance committee and more than a dozen of his campaign bundlers took money from administration loan programs.

Schweizer told Fox News that he believes that many of those who were chosen to receive loan guarantees, were picked almost solely for their success in raising money for the Obama campaign.

Obama used the alternative energy program as an opportunity to make his campaign contributors "even more wealthy than they are," he said.

"This is a payoff to people who are your political backers and supporters. And this is really a wealth transfer from middle class taxpayers to billionaires," Schweizer said, adding that about 75 percent of the loans and grants doled out by the federal government has gone to "Obama-connected companies" even though the acceptance rate in the program is less than 10 percent.

This is our money, and despite Barracks class warfare rhetoric he is giving it away to wealthy donors. Why should anyone accept the argument for higher taxes when this is what our government does with them?

Looks like Newt is now facing a bit of a problem, with his association with Fannie and Fready.   Think he can get through this?

Start looking at Romney as your "dear leader", it is coming.

Newt, while good at debates and public speaking, he h=really does have too much baggage.   Do you remember he had some ethics issues in 95?

I do think Newt is just doing the book signing tour. Imagine if he were president. What would become of the 15ish and 10ish movies he has made. Will they all become the required reading material to prove US citizenship?


Looks like many republicans are not looking at the damage the debates and the multitude of candidates is doing to the republicans image.

Orator = Storyteller

Even the boy that cried WOLF was convincing to some.

If he promised you hope and change, watch out.

Your President has spent the last few days in our country. He is a very impressive orator.
