MITT VS. NEWT: IS EITHER WINNING? KOMEN REVERSED!

I WONDER, WONDER WHO? Bain’s CEO added this one footnote: “Still, whenever the rest of us would go out at the end of the day, we’d always find ourselves having the same conversation: None of us had any idea who this guy was?”

His greatest passion is something he’s determined to keep secret.

Wolf Blitzer asked Gingrich whether he was “satisfied right now with the level of transparency as far as [Romney’s] personal finances.” Gingrich, eyes gleaming, shot back at Blitzer, “This is a nonsense question,” to hoots and hollers from the audience. “Look, how about if the four of us agree for the rest of the evening, we’ll actually talk about issues that relate to governing America?”

The press loves drama and hates a front-runner. So guess who they are rooting for?

GINGRICH FLUBS FACTS….AGAIN, etc.

Posted on by
ETCWASHINGTON (AP) — Newt Gingrich called rival Mitt Romney a “terrible historian” but flubbed his own history in Congress on Monday night when he claimed the nation ran four consecutive budget surpluses during his time as House speaker. Romney attacked Gingrich’s financial links to Freddie Mac while ignoring his own.
The accusations were fast out of the gate in the latest Republican presidential debate, and reality got tromped in the process.
A look at some of claims and how they compare with the facts:
___
GINGRICH: “When I was speaker, we had four consecutive balanced budgets.”
THE FACTS: Actually, two.
 
The four straight years of budget surpluses were 1998 through 2001. Gingrich left Congress in 1999, so he only had a hand in surpluses for his last two years. The budget ran deficits for his first two years as speaker.
The highest surplus of that four-year string came in budget year 2000, after Gingrich was out of office.

CORPORATIONS GAINING MORE POWER OVER INDIVIDUALS…….

Posted on by
“I refuse to believe that corporations are people until Texas executes one” is flooding the internet.
 
Put simply, a corporation can sell all its assests, pocket the money, hire a new CEO who will down size and declare bankruptcy and leave high and dry. What happens to the employees who had no other skills to find a different job right away? Many lose their homes, assets, pensions funds, family, etc. There are many more reasons. Source cited below. -mackie
 
Just three months after Romney proclaimed that “corporations are people,” he has pledged to ensure that the Supreme Court will continue to share this delusion. During editorial board meeting yesterday, Romney promised that if he is elected, he will model his Supreme Court picks after corporate America’s most favorite justices:
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said if he had the opportunity to appoint a Supreme Court justice he or she would be in the mold of Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts.
“Their approach is the approach I would encourage,” he said. “I would try to find those who would follow the Constitution.
Setting aside the obvious tension between Romney’s promise to appoint justices like Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, or Alito and his promise to appoint justices who will “follow the Constitution,” it’s important to note exactly what Romney is endorsing by supporting these four justices:
