I’m going to say something that makes me question my own ethical and moral foundation.
84 ethics complaints were lodged against Newt Gingrich. 83 were dismissed, and the 84th, for which he paid a fine and admitted doing, the IRS later, (3 years later), ruled he wasn’t guilty of anything. (1)
And, if he had been guilty of some  personal ethical lapse, or had defied some red tape to get a good-for-America agenda passed, I don’t care.
There, I Said It!
Did Newt Gingrich lead a conservative attack, help take Congress away from the Dems for the first time in 40 years, and work on numerous policies within that Congress to pass legislation that helped America?
Did Newt Gingrich pay the price for his success? And his big mouth? What is it about Newt Gingrich that creates such a “love-hate” relationship with both his peers and the voters? Is that “love-hate” relationship directed more at the politicians ideas and what he represents, or personally at Gingrich?
I ask, because recently, and not so recently, we have seen the same vitriol amassed and fired, in a not dissimilar fashion, at others. Ronald Reagan was an idiot, Sarah Palin, well, we could write books about the lies and distortions directed at her and her family.
Was Palin “Gingriched?” (Gingriched: to be subjected to a continual onslaught of political charges and attacks, that, although false, can lead to disarray in one’s ability to push their agenda’s, at which point resignation is inevitable, to return the focus to the business of the state or nation.)
Did Newt retire from Congress a wealthy man?
Did the policies he pushed in Congress lead to his personal enrichment?
Was he hiding, then or now, from any questions concerning his actions?
Newt Gingrich lost many followers with his statements on the now-more-than-ever-obviously-a-fraud Man-caused Global Warming hoax, sitting on the couch with Pelosi and being used as a dupe to hammer the right, and his support for charging Americans for being Americans with a healthcare mandate scheme.
How far ahead would he be without those missteps? Would anybody still be supporting Romney as a Conservative under that scenario?
Has Gingrich admitted his mistakes? I think yes, I believe he has heard the people on these issues.
Is Newt Gingrich or Mitt Romney more likely to advance radical ideas to change Washington? Both of these men have had to be on both sides of many issues, because of their positions.
In your mind, which one compromised gladly to get a bill, and which one hated every inch they had to concede?
I believe Newt Gingrich could have stayed successful in the background and made a good living without subjecting himself to the embarrassment he certainly knew was coming. If he is willing to admit his mistakes and take the abuse, I must admit that he is more likely to get my attention than Mitt, “I’m Next In Line After Dole And McCain” Romney.
I still wish I had better choices.
 

It Only Takes One To Taint Them All!

Citizen report:
1/15/2012, approximately 11:00 am, The Fountains Parking lot, Davie, (Plantation), Fl.
While dropping my 85 year old retired police SGT father of at TOOJAYS Deli, I met one of the thuggish cowards that call themselves police officers, giving all good police officers a bad name. FL plate 611 HLX was the license plate, I believe. A nice new grey vehicle.
I know gave it correctly to the 911 service, but it was about an hour ago, and, at the time, I had nothing to write it down with, so I’m not positive right now. I’m pretty sure that was it.
As is the won’t of so many of the “super-citizens” we have created, he took great offense at someone obeying the speed limits and questioning his dangerous actions.
Speeding through a parking lot in a private, unmarked what I assume was his personal car, he raced up to the side of my car as I made a left to park. I MEAN raced up. I had to wait for one car to pass before I could turn, and the other car was 31/2 rows away approaching me. He accelerated greatly when I started to turn, but he would have had to have been in a rocket to block me, which obviously was his intention, but even at his speed, he only reached me, as I slowly turned, when the very rear of my car was still in his lane.
Then, he came to a stop, and started gesturing to me, like I had done something wrong. I got completely into my lane, and he stayed there, yelling at me. This, as far as I know, is just some hung-over, Sunday morning fool. I opened my door, looked back at him and asked, “just how fast do you need to go in a parking lot?”
A stream of threatening invective emanated from him, so I answered with, “your an asshole” and continued on my way.
He raced around the parking lot until he came screaming up to my vehicle, and now he was waving something that I’m sure was meant to make me cower in fear and obedience. A Police badge and ID.
He never left his vehicle, but he continued to tell me how he would “get” me, cursing me all the time. I was standing outside my car, incredulous. I know he did not expect my reaction. I went off, seriously. I am from a police family, and I hate when bullying thugs hide behind a shield to cover up their own transgressions.
“You’re a COP?” I screamed. As I approached his car, I said, “you arrogant POS, thanks for letting me know that, now I can get your license plate for a complaint! I though you were just some discourteous drunk to forget about, but you’r a cop! Your badge doesn’t scare me, let me see your plate, I need to report this.”
His threats continued, but funny thing, he put away his shield so I could not get a closer look, and he never got out of his car. With all the witnesses in the parking lot listening to this, he decided to throw out some final threats to my future safety on the road, and backed away, trying to keep me from seeing his plate. As I knew he would have to turn at the end of the row, I ran after him so I could see it. The coward tried to get away, but I got his plate and reported it accurately to the authorities.
This thugs actions, and those few of his compatriots that act as he did, do a disservice to all the fine Law Enforcement Officers that keep the peace in our community. When they act as this punk did, they must be confronted and reported, not feared and avoided.
Law abiding citizens should not live in fear of bullying punks.
Police have enough to deal with without having to live down the actions of thugs living their lives like they are special under the cover of their shield and uniform.
 

Thank you, Mitt.

I don’t like Mitt Romney. At all. I don’t trust Mitt Romney. That said, I have to thank Mitt Romney.
Because of his Capitalist connections with Bain Capital, we are able to watch (and identify) the anti-American socialists as they come apart at the seams. Through the attacks on Romney and his building and dismantling business’s for profit, we are watching the attempted rise of the Socialist European workers model. This is obama’s vision of America, this is the message his “occupier” groups have been created to spread.
These people have somehow come to believe that once you are hired, you cannot be fired. Years and years of Government and Union corruption and influence have turned them into worker trolls, ignorant of the workings or freedoms afforded by Capitalism.
Is there any Capitalist or free American citizen that understands the Constitution that actually believes that what anyone else earns is any of their business? I don’t think so.
They bring up the intellectually vapid argument of wage disparity between the worker and the bosses.
DUH! No (excrement), Sherlock!
People invest their money into the freedom of a capitalist venture to make themselves money, not as a public duty to support people for the rest of their lives.
How many millionaires did Bill Gates create? Even now, do you think any of his workers should have anything to say about what he, Gates, makes?
When you go to work for someone following their dream:
A) no one is forcing you to work for them,
B) you can take the money and experience you gain from the fine people that trusted you enough to give you what you accepted as a fair wage when you took the job for your completing certain agreed upon tasks, and use it to open your own business under our Capitalist system,
C) you learn that no one should aspire to work for anyone. Working for others gives you the incentive, seeing the owners of businesses flourish is the best advertisement for American Capitalism.
Any business can go broke. Unions can bring any business to its knees. Presidents can over-regulate people out of their jobs. That is America. It takes Capitalism to make the necessary corrections to keep businesses growing, against the odds in the face of corrupt unions set on putting them out of business, (Eastern Airlines, anyone? How many airlines have the Machinist Union put out of business?)
When companies can’t stay afloat on their own, others may decide to risk their money investing in that business, or the parts thereof, to create other business.
Just as Corporations are people, the business they run are lives. Some business may live for years, others may die too soon, and others may be used as “organ doners” to support other ventures.
Those that do not understand the basics of business, or understand and are trying to destroy the Capitalist system, cannot and should not be trusted.
Knowing who they are is a good thing.
Thank you, Mitt.
 
I have a suggestion that deals with problems a little closer to home than the Washington, DC, National or International stories of which I usually blather. Although, because all that will read this live in a community, somewhere, which has something in common with the community everyone else lives in, it could be considered a national, small “n”, issue.
How many of us have heard our local officials complain that without tax increases, or some other new form of revenue wrung out of the citizens, they would be forced, (FORCED!) to lay off Police and Firefighters?
These fear tactics have been used over the years to extort more and more money from the private sector, to benefit overpaid, redundant, mostly union Supercitizens called “Public Sector Workers.”
I, for one, am tired of it. I have put my mind to this problem, and, my mind being what it is, have come up with a way we can level this unfair burden the Police and Firefighters carry.
I think it is only right that, on a grassroots level a la the T.E.A. party movement, we should all get behind my new proposed Bill.
I haven’t settled on the name yet, because, as we know, the name of a Bill is usually the opposite of what the Bill truly represents, and I’m a lousy liar, so I’m kind of stuck.
How does the “Public Workers Equal Rights Bill” sound?
The purpose of the bill would be to see that if any Police or Fireman lose their government jobs, than an equal percentage of workers in every other department of that government must also be shed. No exceptions.
This is not a matter covered by union contracts regarding seniority. As a matter of fact, this is such a serious matter of fiscal emergency that all government contracts should be cancelled until the budget problems are alleviated. Unfortunately, that would never happen. This, however, is doable, because it is fair, on an obama, occupier and socialist level.
If the monetary situation in any district, county, city or state is such that first responder emergency workers and protectors of the citizenry are being fired, you can be sure that the disarray and incompetence that led to this dire outcome is spread throughout the entire structure of the government involved. The public must be protected from their budgetary incompetence.
It is plainly discriminatory for the Police and Firefighters to be continually singled out for termination. No other government worker is any better than them, and none should enjoy the protection not afforded the Police and Firefighters. If 3 out of 30 police are fired, than the rest of the workforce should shrink 10%, Department by Department. End the Discrimination against the Police and Firefighters!
Start pushing this idea on all your local officials and conservative friends. Push it in City Councils and Statehouses where the Republicans have control.
I would think the Police and Firefighters unions would probably like it, also.
The “Public Workers Equal Rights Bill.”
It’s only fair.

The Sickness and The Cure

Being a man of his word, our beloved president has set out with a passion to keep one of his widley-ignored-by-the press campaign promises. He is laying the groundwork for his EPA to cause our energy prices, exactly as he planned, to “necessarily skyrocket.” (1)
Along with climate change apologists and medical mandate pushers Romney and Gingrich, obama is perfectly happy to cripple our economy on two fronts, our health care system and energy industry.
This is not being done in the name of science, it is an agenda created to purposely destroy America and her advanced position in the world, to turn us into a third world country, dependent on the UN and others for our rules and survival.
Once America collapses like Greece, obama will circumvent our Constitution by the dictates of the IMF and the UN, as Greece has been forced to change.
It is obama’s goal to strip America of her First and Second Amendments, and that can only be done by making us grovel before the international community for help, like Greece, a collapsed, broken nation.
Spain is a perfect example. (2)
obama has repeatedly stated that their’s is the “green” model he wants for America. (3)
They swallowed the garbage put out by pseudo-scientists and environmentalists, people pushing unproven radical theories, like those of Penn State’s climate charlatan Michael Mann, (who has done as much for Penn State’s academic reputation as Jerry Sandusky has for their football program), and his fellow conspirators, like data manipulating “Professor” Phil Jones of Britain’s Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia. (3)
As a result, Spain’s unemployment rate has zoomed over to over 20%, and they, like the rest of Europe, are on the brink of collapse.
Meanwhile, obama’s EPA is about to throw thousands more Americans out of work, and, at the same time, drive electricity rates up by shutting down at least 32 coal-fired power plants, with another 36 similarly targeted. (5)
obama is not satisfied with his destruction of the Gulf oil industry. That is not enough to cripple America. He needs to continue his high-tax, pro-union, anti-jobs, anti-energy, anti-American policies as fast as possible, to do as much damage to America before he is thrown out of office. Like Wilson, FDR and LBJ before him, he needs to push his progressive policies into our system so they can never be excised.
All the while, blaming the Republicans and a so-called do-nothing congress for the damage caused by his actions. The House Republicans that have passed tax cuts, energy bills, jobs bills and budget bills that obama and his party refuse to allow to come up for votes because the bills violate their strict progressive ideology. AND, they get cover from “journalists,” like this one, that write articles blaming the Republicans because they happen to represent their constituents, and have not rolled over for the progressive destruction of the country.(6)
My readers know I have been railing against all of our “choices” in the republican field. I have listed my problems with them, stating that I would never vote for some of them.
Of course, should any of them wind up against obama, I will probably hold my nose and pull the lever for them.
If I had to choose from this line-up today, before the Iowa beauty contest, (and this could change according to unfolding events), I would say the strongest ticket we could field would be Perry/Santorum.
Together, with their combined executive and legislative experience, I believe they could reverse our current destructive progressive course. I believe there would never be a day anyone would have a doubt as to whether America’s greatness and American’s freedom and individuality were their first priority.
I also believe we need better choices.

Not A Harvest To Be Proud Of!

In recent days, in the midst of people of different faiths celebrating the religious High Holidays of Christmas and Hanukkah, there have been extraordinarily brutal mob frenzies over the chance to buy assorted products. People have been beaten and killed in the pursuit of the most insignificant of material items.
I have heard many different explanations.
Of course, I prefer my own.
“We The People” have let the individual down. “We The People” have allowed the lives of the everyday citizen of America to become valueless.
The beauty of the American experiment is that as equals, we could live completely different lives and feel utter contempt for what someone else believed, but should anyone cause another American citizen harm, or threaten their life, the community of Americans came together for swift justice, and with a jury system made up of free Americans, celebrated the most sacred of duties: the execution.
“We The People” would not pledge to a king, despot or dictator, nor be used to fight their wars.
Being an American meant we had been born into the compact of the signers of our Declaration of Independence before us. In a sense, we had all pledged “our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor” to protect our people and country.
Removing those that wronged us was evidence to the world that, as free people, we would not stand alone, and we would not be wronged. The loss of one American was equal to the loss of any foreign king or despot, and more.
Taking a man’s horse, putting him at risk, or killing another was a cause for death. Not a hidden death, in the middle of the night behind closed doors…no, it was celebrated by the people in open courtyards for all to see. Men could watch as they saw the greatest symbol and sacrifice of their freedom. Children grew to realize the responsibility in being a part of a society, and saw the value in which their lives were held.
Abortions were between a doctor and the patient, hidden and denied in some cases.
Life and freedom were sacrosanct.
Today, people are free to kill over and over, rape, murder and perform the most heinous of crimes against other people, and in some places, never face the ultimate price for their acts. Others can live 20 or 30 years before being executed, hidden away, in the dead of night, like we are doing something wrong.
Planned Parenthood publicly carries out Margaret Sanger’s twisted, racist vision, the extermination of the black community, with total immunity and, incredibly, the acquiescence and assistance of those they are trying to kill, the black community.
Our children have been born into a community that puts no value on individual, free lives, or, in Planned Parenthood’s case, even pays them hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars so you can pay $200 to get rid of one.
The rights of the proven murderers and killers somehow gets conflated to be more important than that of those they killed or wounded.
A community that does not respect life will have children with no problem ending someone else’s, even for the most trivial of reasons.
The lives of others mean nothing to them, if they are in the way of them and their Air Jordans.
A rather perfect example of “you reap what you sow.”
 

“…Who’s The Fairest Of Them All?”

Now that we have seen a dozen or so debates between the so-called “Republicans,” (I say so-called because neither Gary Johnson nor Ron Paul are Republicans, they are both fringe libertarians), it is time to re-evaluate those left standing, either out front or in the wings.
Of all those out front, Perry is the only choice, unfortunately.
Romney is being forced on us by the media and democrats, in the same manner Dole and McCain were. He has nothing going for him except that he is next in line in a RINO filled GOP. He has an uncanny ability to be on both sides of an issue, and, if anyone notices, it is to their detriment, not his. Arrogance at an extraordinary level.
Santorum and Bachmann, probably the most consistently Conservative candidates we have seen recently, just can’t seem to connect with the voters. At one point, I was considering Bachmann, but she went all Pat Robertson on me, talking about God sending warnings to us through recent natural disasters, like Roberts said of Katrina. Santorum, on the other hand, only has one specific unforgivable fault, in my view. He backed Arlen Specter against a real Conservative. He damaged the country with that one move, and I will never give him a chance to do such damage again.
Gingrich, undeniably the smartest on the stage, cut his throat declaring himself a “Wilsonian Progressive!” Wilson, the incredibly racist embarrassment of a President that gave us the Federal Reserve and the Federal Income Tax, and who segregated the military and the Federal Government, is not someone I want my President admiring or, God forbid, emulating. Newt and obama are exactly the same in a couple of ways…both speak from an intellectual “professorial” point, talking down to the uneducated minions, and both believe the only reason Big Government doesn’t work is that THEY have not been in charge. They both speak from a “we are the one you have been waiting for” point of view.
Huntsman is obama’s personal candidate, there for no reason but to split the vote.
That leaves Perry, a terrible debater, but when seen in less formal situations, easily holds his own and clearly has a grasp on governments role in staying out of the way of business. His part-time Congress idea is worth my vote, and, unless and until someone else jumps in and shows themselves more capable and Conservative, he has it. He is not perfect, but he is 1000 times more experienced in the workings of America, her values and greatness than the current “OWS” community organizer in the White House.
In the wings, Trump lurks, waiting to pounce. While I admire his foreign and domestic business experience,  he wouldn’t be able to govern. He would be like Arnold Swarzenegger in California, ineffective due to lack of support from his legislature.
Palin’s re-entry would collapse most other candidacies. Like Perry, her experience and energy policies would be great for America.
Perry/Palin or Perry/Cain could work for me.

Fox Republican Debate, IMHO

I watched the debate Thursday night, and you can see my immediate, as it happened remarks in my post, “The Debate In As “Real-Time,” A Wife, Visiting Relatives, And Two Dogs Allows,” at:

http://realetybytes.com/?p=1125

Here is my condensed version and observations:

If life were fair, Rick Santorum and Michelle Bachmann would be doing much better than they are. I understand the reluctance to back Bachmann, I stopped backing her because she claimed, among other things, that God was sending recent natural disasters killing people all around the world as a warning.

Santorum, to my knowledge, hasn’t made any such self destructive statements, and believes with a passion what he says, he just doesn’t seem to project any passion himself. It’s shame, he would probably do well, and is undeniable for a strong America.

Gingrich, as usual, was the smartest person in the room, but, as obama, has an arrogance befitting a know-it-all professor, and, like obama, is an admitted progressive. He goes so far as to call himelf “Wilsonian” in his beliefs. That, in and of itself, should scare the bejesus out of anyone. Gingrich loves big government, because he belives, like obama, that he is special enough to make it work.

Perry proved much more appealing, throwing a Tebow-style Hail Mary pass. He seemed more relaxed, even enjoying himself. He defended his policies, state, and tenth-amendment state-of-mind, well. He did himself the most good of any of the others, who did as expected in their own box.

Romney was Romney. Slick, polished, bending with the wind and justifying his being all over both sides of all issues. Expected nothing less, received nothing more.

Paul was his Constitutional self. He makes a great deal of sense on many issues, and then becomes the most dangerous man around when he claims he expects the Iranians to react in the same way to Mutually Assured Destruction as the Russians decades ago.  He can’t see, apparently with the same type of blind spot as obamas government, that Islamist terrorists don’t play by the rules. They live to die, taking others with them. Threatening them with Mutually Assured Destruction is absurd, they would die in a second taking us with them. Paul is scarily sophomoric. He makes a moral and ethical comparison to the Israelis having nukes, “Israel has 300 of ‘em,” to Iran being able to have them! He may be a Constitutional Patriot, but on some issues, he is truly delusional.

Huntsman is only there to help obama by splitting the vote, speaks in obama style platitudes and says nothing. Looks good doing it.

Gingrich, self described “Wilsonian” progressive, starts with Reagan and Kemp comparisons. I don’t remember their mandated charges for Health-care or Global Warming scam.
Ron Paul ducks question about supporting Republican nominee.
Santorum is hopefully eloquent in Ohio coming to his side.
Romney runs Staples by us again, same old same old, I’m in the private sector, yada, yada.
Bachman, blowing out the screen in white, confident and well spoken.
Perry joking, comfortable, wants more debates, throws Tim Tebow long, Ohio should love that comparison.
Huntsman throws cheap shot at Trump, maybe that will get someone to notice his irrelevance in this election.
Santorum defends free trade, hard work, well said. Heartfelt sentiment as usual.
Perry answers.
Romney jumps to leadership, strong call for his.
Gingrich agrees with “leadership” call, (not Romney’s).
Paul calls for cutting spending, and seeking agreements.
Bachman points out how right she was with her stance on Debt-ceiling debacle.
Huntsman stands on his Governorship in Utah
First Commercial Break—————————————————————————————————————–
Romney defends his destruction of businesses, as a natural part of business. It is.
Gingrich called on “Freddie.” Defends Government Sponsored Enterprise.
Paul calls him on GSA, they’re not free enterprise, he got taxpayer money.
Gingrich defends.
Bachman claims any money from Freddie is corrupt, goes after Gingrich for still defending Freddie and Fannie.
Gingrich claims she is “not true,” states other facts, Bachman comes back and stands on her charge of lobbying against Gingrich.
Gingrich will “break up” Freddie and Fannie, believes in people buying houses, (why with our money?)
Gingrich asked about Romney’s claims of his inconsistancy due to comments on Ryan plan. Seems to say getting compromise on anything is better than nothing. Says Romney was right on health-care.
Romney says thanks.
Paul asked about taking his districts earmarks. He explains while he never voted for one, not to take them similar to not taking deductions on taxes.
Defends well, speaks of Constitution and spending.
Perry asked about something, comes back with part-time congress call.
Cavuto asks Huntsman about China and import taxes and Huntsman speaks of sticking fingers in China’s eyes to get results and Human rights in China, and Religious tolerance…in CHINA?
Santorum asked about bringing overseas earned money back into the country at 5 1/2 % tax rate, zero if the business invests the money in business. Cut corporate tax. He actually has made more sense with each answer than anyone.
Romney gets silly Twitter question about what sector will next explode successfully, points out no one knows, capitalism will decide, calls for restart of energy industry, good line about American decline, maybe under obama, but not if he’s, (Romneys), president.
Gingrich called on about calling justices to testify about decisions, defends against activists and out of control judges. Proves he is quick on his feet and would destroy almost anyone in an actual sit-down debate. Explains historically, Supreme Court should have no real power to make law.
Bachman asked about 9th circuit “under God” question, and should it, (the court), be abolished? She agree with Newt, apparently, about allowing the congress to control judges, cites Iowans throwing out their 3 Supreme Court judges over decision on gay marriage.
Paul says to supenoa judges “dicey”, questionable, affront to separation of powers.
Romney can’t help, as Gov he didn’t get to appoint judges.
Santorum HAS removed judges, campaigned in Iowa against those removed.
Perry claims he supports no more lifetime appointments.
Perry Romney Gingrich claim Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Scalia Supreme Court Judge they think best “one.”
Paul says all good and bad.
Huntsman goes with Roberts and Alito.
Second Commercial Break———————————————————————————————–
Foreign Policy
Paul gets nuclear Iran question.
Would remove all sanctions no matter what Irans position is.  Says greatest danger is our overreacting, compares Iran nuts to Russian cold war. (Russians didn’t want to die, Iranians worship death). Throws “Israel has 300 of ‘em” around, like that is a problem.
Santorum strongly differs on same question, claims Irans at war with US since 1979, killing Americans since then. Points out what I just said about comparing life loving Russians with Death seeking Iranians. Calls for strikes against Iranian facilities.
Romney asked about America requesting our Drone back. obama weak and timid, inviting war. Calls for strengthening, not weakening our military and economy.
Bachman asked abut end of war today in Iraq, Would you send troops? Claims obama is choosing to “lose the peace” in Iraq, wasting all we have done. Attacks Ron Paul’s statement as most dangerous she has ever heard. Claims Iran setting up world-wide jihad against the world.
Paul comes back with not all muslims are bad, just some bad, only because we are bombing them. Ignores history and facts, Iran came into existence in his mind in 1999.
Bachman comes back with fear of underreaction, Iran will give away nukes. Cites IAEA report of coming nukes, and Paul claims it (report), is wrong.
Gingrich asked about critical statements on UN, says he would dramatically reduce participation. Attacks UN for allowing missles fired into Israel without action.
Gingrich fires both barrels cites Bachmans evidence of hateful books used to teach children to hate Israel, states that the UN is useless.
Huntsman becomes mr. diplomat, speaks and says nothing substantial. Takes two extra time segments, and still says nothing.
Perry asked about going into Syria, protecting their citizens. (We should be letting Assad kill as many of his people as possible, they are all hateful bastards that put up with him and his world-wide terrorism for years). Perry says nothing about Syria, attacks obama for inaction on Iranian Drone.
Gingrich asked about Keystone Pipeline veto promise by obama. He has to edit his thoughts to keep them not “zany”, and using “mild words,” says obama is “utterly irrational” in his actions concerning the pipeline. Home Run!
Huntsman asked if environmental policies that protect land more important than jobs. Gives decent answer about natural gas and ending oil imports.
Bachman asked about her reaction to obama shutting down the oil industry as a BP-oil leak reaction, how long she thought it was necessary to close to investigate problem? According to her, obama closed it all without cause, then she moves to bad obama decision based on environmentalist extortion about Keystone Pipeline.
Perry asked about Texas tax subsidies for oil companies, says tenth amendment gives states the rights to decide to invest in any company, not  the purview of Washington DC to pick winners and losers.
Third Commercial Break——————————————————————————————————
Border, Immigration
Perry asked about his call for Eric Holder to resign over “Fast and Furious.” Is he politicizing it? Perry would have him resign if his people claimed ignorance of issues. Claims government lying to us about safety of border. Monroe Doctrine needed. Iran in Venezuala, need to stop them from crossing our borders
Santorum says Perry correct on all points. obama “embraces scoundrals in the middle east.” GOOD
Romney asked about immigrants having to go home voluntarily to return with new id. Says Gingrich idea of credit card company supplying validation is good. Immigrants are welcome, on back of line.
Gingrich “sorta” agrees, has own ideas. Would stop all federal lawsuits against states, and would go after sanctuary cities.
Huntsman tries to use limited government as a sop to not controlling the border. Lies and states no one is coming any more. Confuses legal immigrants with illegals. Ridiculous PC crap.
Romney asked about flip-flops on guns, abortion, gay rights. Principle or politics? “I changed my mind.” Wallace reads record of changes, Romney justifies speaking out of both sides of his mouth.
Santorum speaks on Romneys principle or political changes. Rips out Romneys explanation, claims he and he alone was responsible for same-sex marriage decision while Governor of Mass.
Romney fights charge, claims he led fight against the issue, claims to be for man/woman marriage only.
Bachman goes after Gingrich on life beginning at conception of implantation. Gingrich didn’t defund Planned Parenthood when he could, and didn’t help stop late term abortion.
Gingrich again claims Bachman wrong. Believes life begins at conception, implantation issue came up in possibly bringing legislation about fertility clinics.
Bachman attacks about Gingrich claiming she is wrong. States Gingrich claimed to support republicans who supported late-term abortions
Interruption about federal reserve from audience member.
Question about everyone ignoring Reagans 11 commandment, and will it hurt to attack each other.
Santorum defends process as necessary to toughen up the candidate.
Perry makes nice, thanks others for helping him grow through adversity.
Romney blows off the criticisms, says obama will throw more.
Gingrich says he will correct, but is not attacking, he is promoting ideas, any of candidates would be better than obama.
Paul claims the media made it necessary for them to vet themselves, agrees issue disagreements should be exposed.
Bachman ignores the attacks part, recalls Reagans, “are you better off today than 4 years ago,” question. Why?
Huntsman claims, (on Reagans behalf), debates must be vigorous, are good for country and a strong America.
If we actually had real debates, I might agree with him. These staged canned shows are BS, and do not let us see the give and take of intellectual diversity. It is America’s loss.

More Random Thoughts

Random Thoughts:
It is nice to see people finally coming to realize that “Fast and Furious was nothing but an assault on the Second Amendment. Today Rush, (who opened my eyes in 1991), was bragging about mentioning that possibility in July. I posted “Isn’t Murder A High Crime Or Misdemeanor?” in March.
A Breitbart contributer, AWR Hawkins, addressed the issue of Hillary Clintons involvement in “Fast and Furious” yesterday. I posted “What Did Hillary Know, And When Did She Know It?” On Coach is Right and my blog in October.
I was a big fan of Newt Gingrich in the 80′s and 90′s. His advisers at the time included the brilliantly prescient Alvin Toffler, author of “Future Shock”, written in the 60′s and published in 1970. I only lost interest in him with his acceptance of Americans having to pay a health-care mandate and his believing in the now-more-than-ever debunked Global Warming canard.
Should he change those positions I would have no problem supporting him over the RINO Romney…Gingrich has shown himself to be the only candidate that will actually attack obama, rather than tear down all the other republicans to get the support of the RINO faction.
Should he pick another fighter, like Palin, Cain or Trump as a VP, we would see a hell of an election cycle, and a bigger landslide than Reagan/Mondale.
Does anyone believe a word coming out of the mouth of the Black Separatist Racist Attorney General, Eric Holder?
There has not been a word published that would keep me from supporting Herman Cain. I have seen accusations based on allegations that have been investigated, and an “Invisible Woman” who claims a 13 year affair based on her word only. She doesn’t have a picture? A blue dress? After the Clinton-Lewinsky debacle, the thought of acquiring proof for such a claim escaped her? Really?
There has not been a word published that would keep me from supporting Sarah Palin. I have only heard left-wing slander and lies, and I hope the dismal field shaking out now has her considering her options.
I love Alec Baldwin! He shows what (male genitalia) progressive liberals are, on a daily basis, and their belief that they are sooo much better than the rest of us.
What happened to all the lying media and their glorification of what they called “Democracy movements” in the Middle East? Now that the evil muslim brotherhood has taken over everywhere, why are they not fawning over their victory against humanity?
Merry Christmas one and all, and if that term bothers you, well then, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
