January 4, 2012 7:21 PM NAACP blasts Santorum for targeting blacks in entitlement reform The NAACP on Wednesday blasted Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum for recently singling out blacks for receiving federal benefits, calling his remarks "inaccurate and outrageous." At a campaign stop in Sioux City, Iowa on Sunday, Santorum was talking about entitlement reform when he said, "I don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money; I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money." NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous said in a statement Wednesday that "Santorum's targeting of ...

Iowa: 'They don't know where the ballots are, but Romney will win by 14 votes' 04 Jan 2012 Ballots are missing from two counties in Iowa. (Fox News, live report, 01:40 AM ET) 04 Jan 2012 [Of course! Even Karl Rove's 10 million dollars/sleazy pac couldn't seal the deal for corpora-terrorist Mitt Romney -- ergo, ballots are 'missing!'

On Fox, Rove predicted a Romney victory by 14 votes.] Poster Comment:"We don't know where the battots are but we know how they would have voted so we'll just tally it ...
The trouble with my uncle, Rick Santorum

If you want another big-government politician who supports the status quo to run our country, you should vote for my uncle, Rick Santorum. America is based on a strong belief in individual liberty. My uncle’s interventionist policies, both domestic and foreign, stem from his irrational fear of freedom not working. It is not the government’s job to dictate to individuals how they must live. The Constitution was designed to protect individual liberty. My Uncle Rick cannot fathom a society in which people cooperate and work with each other freely. When Republicans were spending so much money under President Bush, my uncle was right there along with them as a senator. The reason we ...
Santorum's Residency is Still an Issue

He has two homes in two states, has claimed residency in both this year—and his newest home in Virginia has a purchase price of $0 listed, opening the door to more questions. [sic] The question of residency continues to haunt the former U.S. senator even as he rises in the polls before the Jan. 3, 2012 Iowa Caucus kicks off the presidential election year. He talked about Pennsylvania peaches in Iowa in August as though he lived in the Keystone State, yet in a Dec. 14 Charlotte Observer story, Santorum said he is a Virginia resident. The reason the residency scrutiny continues is that, during his first bid for the 18th District U.S. Congressional seat in 1990, Santorum attacked ...

Mitt Romney's Slogan Used By Ku Klux Klan, Anti-Immigrant 'Know Nothing' Party

WASHINGTON -- It's the type of coincidence every politician dreads. On Tuesday, political commenters reported that one of Romney's go-to campaign catch-phrases, "Keep America American," was a central theme of Ku Klux Klan publications in the 1920s, and served as a rallying cry for the white supremacist group's campaign of violence and intimidation against black Americans, as well as Catholics, gay people and Jews. The progressive Americablog first posted examples of the overlap, and a spokeswoman for Mitt Romney declined to comment on the matter when reached by HuffPost. The Republican primary debates have ignited issues of immigration and poverty in this country, ...

Jim Bob Duggar, from TLC's "19 Kids and Counting," was in Iowa Monday campaigning for Rick Santorum in advance of the state's Jan. 3 caucuses. The Duggar family patriarch traveled with 12 of his children to the Hawkeye State from their home in Arkansas -- with the message that voters with "conservative family values have to get behind Rick Santorum for President." Jim Bob and his wife Michelle are strong evangelicals, known for their ever-expanding brood, as is chronicled on their reality show that just wrapped up its eighth season. Santorum, 53, is a conservative Catholic and has a family of seven children. He and his wife Karen are proponents of ...

Less than a week after announcing that only two GOP presidential candidates qualified to appear on their ballot, the Republican Party of Virginia has adopted a new measure that may leave voters in the state scratching their heads: a loyalty oath. On Wednesday the Virginia State Board of Elections approved a request from the Virginia GOP that will require voters to sign a loyalty oath in order to participate in the state’s presidential primary on March 6. A spokesman for the state’s election board tells ABC News that although some details are still in the works, voters wishing to cast a ballot must take the pledge. “We’re still working out the details for how things ...

A ‘cheap hawk’: What would Gingrich’s foreign policy look like?

Excerpts from http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/cheap-hawk-gingrich-foreign-policy: [sic] "I don't do foreign policy," Newt Gingrich, then the Speaker of the House, told the New York Times in 1995, adding that the proportion of time he spends thinking about domestic policy, compared with foreign affairs and defense, is "90/10." The line was meant as a light-footed dodge from the latest rhetorical bomb he had lit, saying that the United States should recognize Taiwan as a country independent from China. "I was trying to rattle their cage, to get their attention," Gingrich would later say. "I don't think we should recognize Taiwan." ...

Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann's campaign lost another high-ranking staff member on Thursday after that staffer defended another former Bachmann official's defection to a rival campaign. Wes Enos, Bachmann's political director, has left the campaign, spokeswoman Alice Stewart confirmed to NBC News on Thursday evening. The resignation comes on the heels of last night's announcement by Iowa state Sen. Kent Sorenson, who had served as Bachmann's Iowa chairman, that he had stepped down from that position to support Texas Rep. Ron Paul's campaign instead. Yesterday, Enos publicly defended Sorenson, an Iowa state Senator, against charges voiced by Bachmann that ...
Ron Paul Supporters, Including Veterans, are “Indecent” according to Newt Gingrich

Article Excerpt: Newt Gingrich has decided to open his mouth and firmly insert his foot by insulting many of America’s military veterans. Probably a bad move. Just ask Dick Morris. The veterans and active-duty military personnel who support Ron Paul are not the people you want to insult. Just last week Dick Morris made an ass of himself by claiming that “no true patriot could support Ron Paul.” The comment infuriated veterans across the country who support Dr. Paul and didn’t appreciate being labeled unpatriotic by a chicken-hawk draft-dodger such as Dick. A letter writing campaign was launched by cvrp2012.com and the results were brutal. While CVRP forwarded the ...
Keep your mitts off my tax returns, says Romney

Mitt Romney, [sic], is once more facing awkward questions about his personal finances after announcing that he will refuse to share his tax returns with the US electorate. The decision, revealed during a recent interview, threatens to put [Romney], who is one of the wealthiest men ever to run for the White House, on the back foot heading into the start of the 2012 primary season, which begins with this weekend's Iowa Caucuses. Almost every would-be President since the 1970s has published their tax return, but Romney announced that he intended to forego that opportunity during an interview with Chuck Todd of MSNBC. He did not seek to justify the decision, but said merely: "I ...
State Lawmakers Could Change Ballot Rules To Let Gingrich In Primary

Republican presidential front runner Newt Gingrich's exclusion from Virginia's primary ballot could be the jolt lawmakers need to change the state's ballot rules. "I think that's legislation that someone in our party will introduce," Democratic House Minority Leader David Toscano said Saturday. The General Assembly would have to approve so-called emergency legislation to reform the ballot rules and allow Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann and Jon Huntsman to participate in the March 6th primary. Toscano says changing the rules is easier said than done. "An emergency clause legislation, which would take effect immediately, would require ...

Rick Perry’s security costs have risen since he entered the presidential campaign in August, costing Texas taxpayers as much as $400,000 a month, according to a report by the Texas Tribune. An examination of Texas public safety department records found that the agency spent more than $1.4 million on out-of-state trips between September to mid-December, including more than $397,000 between Sept. 5 and Sept. 28 this year. According to the Texas Tribune, this amount included “$161,786 for airfare, $8,140 for baggage fees, $50,648.84 for food, $6,442.24 for fuel, $112,111.81 for lodging, $54,356.65 for rentals, $2,990.26 for parking and $1,238.57 in an unspecified “other” ...

All elections have irregularities. At issue is whether results are comprised. Election monitor Golos accusations were spurious. America's National Endowment for Democracy (NED) funds it.

Should Voter Fraud Be Considered An Act of High Treason? [My note: Yes.]

We are definitely in a battle for the soul of this nation and for Texas. It is hard to win and gain any lost ground when the criminal establishment through the paid off politicians were able to secure their power being well entrenched over time with rigged elections. This high crime should not be a felony with a little jail time. It should not be a misdemeanor. We see too many times people who are found guilty of voter fraud get an insignificant punishment just being a slap on the wrist . The system does not take the high crime of vote fraud serious. The system's lack of serious enforcement of being a deterrent is because the real culprits are protected by political hacks.. As a ...

A government watchdog group has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission against Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich following a report that his campaign paid Gingrich $42,000 for the use of his personal mailing list without disclosing it in their campaign finance filings.

Running for President of the United States means thinking that you're the one person best equipped to become the leader of the free world -- which could be considered a personality tic, to say the least.

-- This video is extremely and viciously entertaining, but it has a valuable quality to it in that it captures the emotions and deceit involved in the type of unfaithfulness and deceit that people know well enough that it really hurt Newt when he cheated on his wife, then cheated on his new wife/exmistriss with a new mistriss who then become wife number three. Watch it, enjoy it, but ask yourself, do you want this man, this liar and cheater to be in the White House? Would you want to enjoy invented wife three as first lady? It gave me fresh insight, I'm sure you will experience this too.
