LIVE BLOG: GOP Debate in FL on NBC – 1-23-12

First question: Mitt, how much did you pay for your last dye, tint and haircut job?
I plan to not drink so I’m picking “President George Bush” as my drinking word.

Cher, that does put a whole new aspect to Mitt’s story on it, now if we can get someone in the MSM to look into it.

k’es, from one of the links in that article and a few more clicks, I found this article. Romney’s Cayman Explanations Don’t Tell the Whole Story http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2012/01/20/romneys-cayman-explanations-dont-tell-the-whole-story/

Sheds a different light on what happens to off-shoring money.

So money flees illicitly out of the US to Cayman so it can come back in a supposedly tax free structure – that’s called “round tripping.” Not all is that way – some will come from South America and very little from Europe – wrong time zone – but the sole reason for Cayman secrecy is mainly to hide the round tripping and that’s the most venal tax sin. So to argue that you’re luring money in requires you to lure money out of somewhere first – and there’s the weakness in the argument presented – precisely because that dimension of the story is ignored in all the reports on this issue.

The Plot Sickens?

2012 South Carolina GOP Primary Thread

Bernie Sanders Takes Down Every Single GOP Presidential Candidate
http://www.politicususa.com/en/bernie-sanders-bill-maher

One of the problems that I see in the Republican primaries is that these guys are so out of touch with the reality that the American people are going through that it is really quite amazing. We are seeing a middle class collapsing. We are seeing poverty increasing. We’re seeing a nation in which the rich are getting richer and we have the most unequal distribution of wealth and income of any major country

[…]

These guys are way, way out of touch from where the American people are, and I think when you look at them issue by issue, tax breaks for the rich, cut Social Security, more money on defense spending, they are literally a fringe element in American society.

Murph, it depends on exactly how Newt phrases it and what he means, he can be a real worm about his phrasing.

k’es, I think you’re correct. I am liking that site http://www.faithinpubliclife.org/ for news on mainstream Christians, why aren’t they on MSNBC instead of that bigot Perkins?

MSNBC, stop letting anti-gay liars represent people of faith!

Gingrich’s Obama ‘food stamp president’ claims prove false

Newt Gingrich’s accusation that President Barack Obama put more Americans on food stamps than any other US president in history prove false.

An inquiry into the US Department of Agriculture by USA Today revealed that under Obama, 14.2 million Americans were signed on the food stamp list. Under President George W. Bush, that figure was by nearly 14.7 million.

There were 46.2 million people, or 14 percent of Americans, on food aid as of October 2011, the most recent month on record, according to government data.

From the report:

“Gingrich would have been correct to say the number now on food aid is historically high…But Gingrich goes too far to say Obama has put more on the rolls than other presidents.

It’s possible that when the figures for January 2012 are available they will show that the gain under Obama has matched or exceeded the gain under Bush. But not if the short-term trend continues. The number getting food stamps declined by 43,528 in October. And the economy has improved since then.”

Hilarious to watch GOP strategist on cable news practically crap their pants about Newt win tonight

After Kansas House Speaker Mike O’Neal (R – Hutchinson) forwarded around an email using the Bible to pray for President Obama’s death, Faithful America members quickly responded with a petition calling for his resignation. In just over a week, the petition has amassed over 30,000 signatures nationwide.

Would we even need to be in the Straits if we listened to that “peanut farmer”, Newt?

Gingrich’s next idea: a citizen jury that will decide who is pro-American and who isn’t.

Remember what Barney said: “I did not think I had lived a good enough life to be rewarded by Newt Gingrich being the Republican nominee”

The Bush name has been close to been void during the debates. Raygun #1, Obama #2, French poodles and shoe shines come before the mention of Bush.
