Romney and Ryan will spell Victory for Obama

This is about right on track for the Republican party, lets blow the presidential race in a big way, not just give it away. The Paul Ryan pick will be the death nail for any chance to get Obama out of the white house.
The Democrats are licking their lips and the ad's are already in the works. They will be on the Florida televisions within just a few days. The first ad will be; Romney and Ryan plan to cut and gut your Medicare and Medicaid benefits, get ready to pay more so rich people like Romney and Ryan don't have tell their friends they are going to raise their taxes. If you don't want to be kicked out of the hospital and put on the streets, VOTE NO to the Romney Ryan cut and gut plan.

Does it matter that it is truthful? Did it matter that when they run the ad that claimed a man's wife died of cancer after Romney sold the company, seven years later? Since when did the truth matter to a politician trying to keep power?

You would think with unemployment at over 8% and gas at almost $4.00 a gallon, he wouldn't have a chance. But Obama will win in November 57 to 42 and 1 going to none of the above, mark it, count on it, place your bets.

South Carolina may Prove difficult for Romney

Romney may be the pick of the republican establishment but I think it's becoming more and more evident to most everyone that the public isn't in lockstep with them. With a win in Iowa and New Hampshire, you would think that no matter what, he would have a big advantage going into the South Carolina primary. But, according to latest polls, Romney and Newt are in a virtual tie for the lead, even though both are only polling in the mid to upper 20's.
Newt has always thought he would do better in the south, but his attacks on Romney seem to be working better than the talk show pundits thought it would. The talking heads, like Boortz, Hannity, Limbaugh and others said that Newt was going against capitalism, I think Newt was just showing what would happen to Romney if he got the nomination, and this is mild as to what the Obama democrat team will do to him.
If Romney can't stand up to the heat in South Carolina, how will he hold up to the heat nationwide? He has tried to explain what Bain Capitol did and try to say they created jobs, but when the democrats start rolling out the victims, explanations won't heal the heartbroken and disgruntled.
Charles krauthammer may have said it best on the show on Fox Special Report with Bret Baier when he said, "this is warning." Romeny will have to figure out some kind of defense, I don't think it's possible, but the fact that it is coming out so early may be the only thing that saves Romney.
If he does become the nominee and this comes out again in the summer or fall he can push it aside by just saying, "I've answered all these questions and you need to refer back to my answers," then brush it aside and go on.
But, South Carolina could be a spring board for stiffer competition in the south and Newt may be able to at least make some head way and show Romeny is not as invincible as the establishment thinks. He will have a hard time with the southern states for one more reason that the talking head refuse to admit. That the south just doesn't trust north eastern politicians.

Debate Tonight on Fox News

The Republican debate in Iowa tonight will be on Fox News at 9pm eastern time live. All the political news people will be watching and I'm sure that millions of other will be watching as well. Then there will be a lot people in Atlanta that will want to watch, but the Falcons will be on Thursday night football, and they may flip back and forth, depending on the status of the game.
This is building to be one of the best of the debates so far. Mitt Romney and Ron Paul have started on a concerted smear campaign against the current front polls leader, Newt Gingrich. The ad's have been relentless and full of have truths and comments on what Newt did in the past. They tend to have one thing in common, Newt has worked with democrats in the past or has changed his position on things over the years. I have a feeling that Newt will be well prepared for the attack tonight and will smile the whole time.
Ron Paul will probably do well in Iowa, his ground game is in tack and his followers are true devotes and will do more with less if need be. The problem will be if he starts to get attacked during the debate to keep smiling and not become a grumpy old man.
Mitt Romney has to keep his cool as well, no more betting on the truth. Don't let the lies and attacks get to him, don't touch your opponents, don't Rick Perry get to him like he's done in the past. I don't know what it is, but something just comes off that Rick Perry and Mitt Romney just don't like each other.
Will the fireworks fly tonight? A lot of political junkies can't wait to see what happens. All day long the talk show will do their predictions of who will win, who will gaff and who has the most to loose. So far all the pundits have been wrong about who would be leading the polls at this point, the establishment in the republican party has been fighting tooth and nail for Romney and it hasn't worked, so what's next.
Dick Morris will be tweeting, Neil Boortz national talk radio host will be like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, talking about it all day today and all day tomorrow as well. Pay attention to see if any of them call it like it is, so far most have missed the mark. Some will say they will pull for who ever is against President Obama, except I think if Ron Paul somehow get's out front, they might even try to get Donald Trump to run. Most have already declared Ron Paul, to far out there for the Republican party when it comes to foreign affairs. There may be one problem with that sentiment, if they disrespect him, he might just run as an independent and pull a Ross on them, which will pretty much assure that Obama wins.

Ok, the way I see it, is that most middle class working Americans want someone who will just tell them the truth and stand up for what they believe in. That's why Herman Cain took off so quick, that's why Newt Gingrich has been doing so well since Cain dropped out. I think most people are a little wary of the Northeast politician, Mitt Romney has never been able to get out of the 20's in the polls. I don't think we really know who will be ahead by April, all I know is who ever it is, be prepared for the most brutal attacks by Democrats that you have ever seen, with nearly a billion dollars to spend, it will be something to see. Nancy Pelosi started a little early when she threatened Newt, but that was just a taste of what's yet to come.
Tonight's debate on Fox News from Iowa will be followed by endless commentary, but the ultimately it will come down to the people, not the pundits and talk show host.

I can't wait.

Protesters Protest Prostesters Protesting in Oakland

The Occupy Wall Street protesters in Oakland California are upset with the anarchist protesters giving them a bad name. It seems that things got out of hand the other night when the two groups encountered each other and violence broke out. The police were called in to dispurse the crowds, they used non lethal force, they used tear gas and other mean to dispurse the crowd away from the area.
The Oakland interim police chief, Howard Jordan vowed to protect the protesters from the protesters in the anarchist movement. The anarchasit spray painted graffati on buildings and store fronts of business owners. Most of the business owners actually support the occupy Wall Street protest, but the vandals who attacked these business, broke windows and left a lot of hard feeling along the way about all the protesters.
The word on the street is that the leaders of the Occupy Wall Street group is seeking to have all the other protesters removed from the area where they are staying so they can continue to peacefully protest. In other words, as the title says, the protesters are protesting the protesters protesting.
Stay tuned this only can get more stupid than it already is. When one group doesn't have a clue about what they are protesting and the other wants to protest everything, it can only get more stupid. The only thing that make the whole thing worth watching is to see if Nancy Pelosi or President Obama will continue to support the efforts of this .protesters along with other members of the democrat party.
We will wait and see

Debt limit Budget Deal or No Deal

The president and the speaker continue to battle over the debt limit increase, time to work something out is now. The speaker is wanting any increase in spending tied to budget cuts and the president and the democrats are still pushing for tax increases.
Funny, during the campaing seems that the candiate Obama wasn't quite as vocal about rasing taxes but the president can't seem to find a way to quit spending so now he needs more money. The democrats thirst for the American dollar seem to grow more daily. If the president was really more interested in the middle class and the poor he would realize that every time you tax the people that create jobs and wealth the less you help the job prospects.
The speaker of the house, John (I'm not caving in) Boehner, seems to have the support of the majority of Americans right now, with the, don't spend what you don't have approach. It seems pretty simple, if you are going to spend money, don't borrow what you don't have, when the whole argument right now is that we have so much debt that we have to increase the limit just to allow for interest payments.
Stay tuned, we need leadership and statemanship, not a spending junkie looking for his next fix.

Weiner of the year

Why won't politicians just tell the truth up front. It seems that it would be a lot easier to get past a lot of the scandals, if they would just say,"I did it, I don't care what you think, next question?" The part that seems to get them all in trouble is the lying about what they did, rather that the fact of what they did.
Anthony Weiner is just one of a long list of politicians that have thought they were above telling what really what really happened. They start off with excuses, then flat out lies and finally when the heat gets really hot they tell the truth. Now there are calls for his resignation, I can't say that I blame the people doing it. If he would just have told the truth there would be no need to resign, after all he is a grown man and the woman invovled was a grown woman, not some teenage bimbo.
The reason now for resignation is the fact that he lied, if he would lie about something this simple and stupid, how can you trust him with other thing that really matter? This is the crux of the problem, not what he did, but what he hid?
This is just another example of elected officials thinking that they are better than the rest of us and shouldn't be held to the same standards that they set for the rest of us. I don't see things changing anytime soon!
They lie to us about taxes, ablity to do anything about oil prices, or just about anything else. Social Security and Medicare will be bankrupt soon and they will lie about how to fix and just who messed it up to begin with. The Sexting scandal just takes away from the serious issues at hand, it almost like that they would rather us talk about Weiner than any of the real issues at hand.
If the economy doesn't turn around pretty soon, consumer confidence in what the administration is doing will slip so deep that nothing will save Obama.
We are grown ups here, just tell us the truth.

The Governmet Can Stop Rising Gas Prices

Don't think the government can't do anything about rising gas and desiel prices? Read this link click here for facts that the press doesn't tell you.
The state and federal government could reduce gas prices 30 to 70 cents a gallon depending on the state tax, by suspending the gas tax while we open oil leases.
There is oil across the Dakota's and Canada that could supply the US with billions of gallons of oil, that could send the oil speculators in the other direction. 

A step to reduce gas prices would be open exploration to all oil companies in the American mid west and Alaska.  The Bakken Oil shale that extend from Canada to North Dakota and Montana this find alone could yield close to 4 billion barrels of oil. This is find to second to the over 10 billion gallons of oil that could be in ANWAR Alaska. The deepwater gulf and coastal exploration should be opened to tap into the billions of gallons of oil off each cost. Off the Atlantic cost alone there is over 7 billions of conventionally recoverable oil.

If we were to start building refineries within ten miles of both coast of the United States and we were to start opening up all drilling areas, the speculators would drive the cost down. We could actually gas prices below $1.25 by fall and OPEC would be forced to lower prices to compete. Production levels would increase automatically in the mid east, just to keep up with production from the well the US has that are uncapped and put into service within 60 days. In 24 months we could have oil flowing that make up 90 percent of the needs of oil in the US. This would also create high paying jobs in the construction industry while waiting to reduce our energy need from over seas.

With cars getting better and better fuel milage every year the billions of barrels of oil here in the US will stretch even more in the future.

Please read the link above to find out more on this subject and see the other articles on this blog to find out how much oil we could find in the mid west.
