Displaying 661 To 690 Of 16,275 Comments Will Gingrich be Stopped? Sure. By himself. I agree with most of that KQ and the polls are supporting you, but without any organization and a much smaller bankroll, will Newt be able to GOTV/rides to the polls…. and combat a serious attack against him from the establishment GOP and some in the RR? I just don’t know. I’m a bit old school and when I used to work on campaigns it took more than polls, it took money and organization and him not having either it would be an anomaly for him to pull of a convincing win in the primary. » Posted By bito On December 9, 2011 @ 3:43 pm Nirek, You may like to learn from history, but Newt is an historian and he wants you to forget that chapter, he has. Some more history from the historian: The Palestinians are really just “Ottomanians” 😉 Newt Gingrich Thinks Palestinians Are an ‘Invented’ People http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dHWJWJocD6A » Posted By bito On December 9, 2011 @ 12:39 pm Can Newt win the primary without out the GOP establishment behind him? They do hold the purse stings and is he ‘Rove enough’, ‘Koch enough’? Or does it even matter to him? Peggy Noonan alludes that the people that who know him, don’t trust or like him–unstable. People that only know him from afar like him and only see his bulldog attitude-the rest doesn’t matter. Will Rove start one of his infamous whispering campaigns and stay with Mitt? Gingrich Is Inspiring—and Disturbing http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203413304577086824255350642.html?mod=opinion_newsreel Those who know him fear—or hope—that he will be true to form in one respect: He will continue to lose to his No. 1 longtime foe, Newt Gingrich. He is a human hand grenade who walks around with his hand on the pin, saying, “Watch this!” What they fear is that he will show just enough discipline over the next few months, just enough focus, to win the nomination. And then, in the fall of 2012, once party leaders have come around and the GOP is fully behind him, he will begin baying at the moon. He will start saying wild things and promising that he may bomb Iran but he may send a special SEAL team in at night to secretly dig Iran up, and fly it to Detroit, where we can keep it under guard, and Detroiters can all get jobs as guards, “solving two problems at once.” They’re afraid he’ll start saying, “John Paul was great, but most of that happened after I explained the Gospels to him,” and “Sure, Daniel Kahneman won the Nobel Prize, but only after I explained how people can think fast, slow and at warp speed. He owes me everything.” » Posted By bito On December 9, 2011 @ 11:46 am Hey, even a basket of potatoes grows eyes. Cynical? I’m not sure, Desperate? Most likely. Plainly stupid, definitely. Curious, has anyone actually seen his ad on the TeeVee or or is it all the internets and cable “news”? » Posted By bito On December 8, 2011 @ 8:03 pm Sue, I sent this PPP poll to Reverend Sue, a twitter follower of PPOV and an ordained pastor fighting for LGBT/human rights. I saw the Perry ad the same day I saw the poll and asked her how do the R’s expect to win with gay bashing. This poll is from Arizona not some ‘librul’ state! I realize that AZ has their strong libertarian leanings and they are controlled by ALEC, but c’mon Gov. Goodhair, your ad won’t even play well in AZ. This was an act/ad of desperation and may work with some of the most rabid in some primaries, but it will be played again by the Dems in the general. What a loser. AZ pro-civil unions, remembers Goldwater fondly » Posted By bito On December 8, 2011 @ 5:57 pm Made me look jj, 😉 I couldn’t remember either. He was Republican Party (GOP) House Majority Leader from 2003 to 2005, when he resigned because of criminal money laundering charges in connection with a campaign finance investigation. He was convicted of money laundering in January 2011 and sentenced to three years in prison but is free on bail while appealing his conviction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_DeLay » Posted By bito On December 8, 2011 @ 2:43 pm Thanks glenn, I wasn’t sure about the votes and I plead guilty on being too lazy to look it up. I did know that Tom Harkin was against it, but the other two Dems I didn’t. Carper will always vote for big banks, and I sure he was given a pass on it as was Harkin and Bennett, hell even the R’s were given a pass on the bill that vote no, but the House is a different critter! The TP faction seems to have no problem backstabbing leaders or anyone it seems. Like I said it’s shameful, the main people getting harmed right now by not passing are the American workers. The other thing is that this is just the first in a long list of fiscal bills that the T-Party can screw us over, I gues they want to start now. » Posted By bito On January 1, 2013 @ 3:46 pm And you can follow the game on twitter too also, k’es. 😆 https://twitter.com/search?q=rose%20bowl&src=tyah » Posted By bito On January 1, 2013 @ 3:18 pm Best info sheet I have seen anywhere. It is worth a look at if you want to follow along with the discussion, Fact Sheet: The Tax Agreement: A Victory for Middle-Class Families and the Economy At this make or break moment for the middle class, the President achieved a bipartisan solution that keeps income taxes low for the middle class and grows the economy. For the first time in 20 years, Congress will have acted on a bipartisan basis to vote for significant new revenue. This means millionaires and billionaires will pay their fair share to reduce the deficit through a combination of permanent tax rate increases and reduced tax benefits. And this agreement ensures that we can continue to make investments in education, clean energy, and manufacturing that create jobs and strengthen the middle class. >>>>> more
These are the 4 main points listed by the White House with 1 to 8 points following them: Permanently extends the middle-class tax cuts and also extends credits for working families, with additional measures to protect families and promote economic growth. ~~~~~~~ Raises $620 billion in revenue according to Congress’ Joint Committee on Taxation by achieving the President’s goal of asking the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans to pay more while protecting 98 percent of families and 97 percent of small businesses from any income tax increase. ~~~~~~~~ Part of a balanced process of deficit reduction and stronger growth. ~~~~~~~~ Part of a balanced process of deficit reduction and stronger growth. ~~~~~~~~ Extends the farm bill through the end of the fiscal year, averting a sharp rise in milk prices at the beginning of 2013. What will happen next seems to have become the next big question. Bhoener has said he will bring it up to a vote, Pelosi says she will hold her nose, the Blue Dogs appear to be willing. Remember that the bill was passed in the Senate by an 89 t0 8 vote, the 8 nay votes all being Republican. Now here’s the rub, after it emerged from the R’s caucus, Leader Cantor and his minions (no. ?? ) came out against it. Are Cantor and his TeaParty faction going to take ownership of killing this compromise, are they going to snub Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell — so obviously snub? Now there is talk of amending the bill, but will it be a poison pill amendment? His Cantor claiming the Speakership (this part I don’t follow either, Cantor will have less support in the next session of the House, so how does he figure? Is the Republican leadership in Congress that screwed up or does the T-Party care that little about the United States, its citizens, and it’s workers and more for Grover and their ideology? » Posted By bito On January 1, 2013 @ 2:39 pm Just in case you are frightened with all the fiscal cliff, government and your guns being taken away, National Geographic TV has a good 15-20 hours of scare tv called “Doomsday Preppers” that will keep you frightened not just frightened but a step by step how to guide . » Posted By bito On January 1, 2013 @ 11:11 am Got a buzz after one glass, poured a second and took one more sip, moderation, KT!

While listening to the roll call on the vote, I haven’t heard a single nay– just as I type that I hear 2 noes– what I have heard far the R’s hate the bill. MSNBC is giving the credit on the negotiations to V.P. Biden. I’m sure there will be much more in the morning, look at Kalima’s Morning Blog, she may have an update.

That part I am already seeing on twitter. One calls the Dem Senators the good guys and Obama the one to blame for this fiasco. Deb Finestein says more than 10, less than 20 dems will vote no on bill…sounds about right from what I have seen. This is a first step in what will be a long and bumpy spring early summer of fiscal, financial compromises that we will be going through….

Time enough for it to get blocked by the teabaggers, or will the whole house vote, both parties, and pass the bill? Wonder if it will be the R’s or the D’s that carry the bill in the house? Interesting position Speaker Boehner is in , it seems to me. » Posted By bito On December 31, 2012 @ 6:09 pm With all the many other things going on in the world, I can’t believe the detestable, despicable “talk”, or what passes for talk about The Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s health over on the FuX network has been said? I can’t believe what they are saying over what, as it turns out, a very dangerous condition. Clinton has been hospitalized with a blood clot due to her concussion.

I’m no help at all, I have more questions than answers. 🙂
The first potential president about whom there is too much information.
Beyond the Iowa caucus, the RR will be marginalized. IMHO, and of course they will be appealed to (they always are– they vote.) but this election is “Who can beat that Commie Fascist Big Gubment Obama (and a black man)” and the economy, don’t you think?
If the last is true, I find it shameful.
I’m not kidding, National Geographic!
I am watching the “New Years Celebration with Carson Daly on NBC” and I haven’t recognized a single of the pop stars that they have had on so far, I’m sure it will get better. 😉
They must not be collecting unemployment, or some other benefits (I need to read more details).
The Right-Wingers Who Said Hillary Clinton Was Faking Her Concussion
he shouldn’t have said anything, he said too much, he’s picking on us, He getting applause, He’s getting laughs…… My favorite has been that he’s making fun of us because we are taking too long! What because you have known about this for a year?
