Are Conservatives More Fearful Than Liberals?
Post Date: 2012-02-07 01:36:20 by lucysmom
11 Comments
The tone of this year’s Republican presidential primary (which now seems destined to last much longerthan Mitt Romney had been planning) seems sort of, well, fearful. One after the other, these would-be presidents have warned of looming threats — war with Iran, economic collapse, class warfare, social disintegration, illegal immigration — and have sought to position themselves as the best candidate for the job of protecting America. Their political advisers must understand a psychological phenomenon that researchers have been studying for some time now: conservatives appear to be motivated by fear in a way that liberals are not. An expanding body of research suggests that ...
Critics Fear Senate Campaign Ad Will Revive Asian-Bashing In Mich.; One Calls It 'Really Dumb'
Post Date: 2012-02-06 18:52:49 by Brian S

Criticism of a Senate campaign ad featuring a young Asian woman talking in broken English about China taking away American jobs grew Monday as some warned it could revive discrimination against Asian-Americans. Michigan has seen its share of Asia bashing, especially in the 1980s, when images of sledgehammers smashing imported cars were common. Chinese-American Vincent Chin died after being beaten to death in 1982 by two unemployed autoworkers angry about competition from Japan. Republican Senate hopeful Pete Hoekstra began taking heat after his ad targeting Democratic incumbent Debbie Stabenow ran statewide Sunday before the Super Bowl. "Mr. Hoekstra may believe that his ad is just ...

Obama bemoans wife being dragged into politics
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says one of the toughest parts about being president is that his wife has been dragged into the "political realm."
Obama was responding to a question about how he felt when Michelle Obama said she has been inaccurately portrayed as an "angry black woman." While the president did not address that comment specifically, he says his wife is as good a first lady as anyone could imagine, and says he believes Americans have a positive impression of her.
Obama also says the first lady is ready for another four years in the White House, despite her initial reservations about coming to Washington.

Republicans Move Towards Romney as Pace of Primaries Picks Up

Republican voters are beginning to coalesce around the presidential candidacy of front-runner Mitt Romney even as his opponents vow to continue their campaigns into a series of contests this month and beyond. Republicans will cast ballots this week in Colorado, Missouri, Minnesota and Maine, all states where Romney has a financial and organizational advantage over his remaining three opponents. He won a majority of the vote in the Nevada caucuses Feb. 4, days after his 14-point triumph in the Florida primary. While some party loyalists and elected officials already support Romney, his show of strength in recent contests demonstrates that socially and fiscally conservative voters -- long ...
Paul Could Force Fed Changes on GOP

Ron Paul, trailing in delegates needed for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, could be positioning himself to force his party to accept changes in the way the Federal Reserve operates. The Texas congressman is attracting an expanding base of supporters passionate about his plainspoken message of sapping government power in favor of individual freedom. It’s not enough to make him his party’s standard bearer, say Republican strategists, yet if he follows through on a promise to remain in the race and collect delegates until the party’s convention in August, he could gain the clout needed to highlight his signature goal of curtailing the power of the central bank. ...
Gingrich: “About at Parity” or Bust

Newt’s Fantasy Campaign software needs an upgrade if he is to go on. But after badly losing the Nevada caucuses reality seemed to creep into his thinking, suggesting that even he knows his quest has become largely theoretical. During a rambling late-night press conference Gingrich chose less-than-certain words to describe his strategy going forward, saying that his goal is “to seek to find a series of victories which by the end of the Texas primary will leave us about at parity with Gov. Romney, and from that point forward to see if we can’t actually win the nomination.” Hardly confident words – more like the description of a hapless lab experiment aimed at ...
Head of FreedomWorks, Dick Armey, Believes Newt's Surge Over

Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-Texas), head of FreedomWorks, said Sunday presidential candidate Newt Gingrich won't have another comeback. "I don't think Newt will be able to replicate that magic moment," Armey said, adding he believes Gingrich's peak in South Carolina was a momentary surge and he has "played that string out." "I feel bad for him. I think he's digressed taking a second-rate campaign into a first-rate vendetta," Armey said of Gingrich's attacks on GOP front-runner Mitt Romney.
Paul Decries Poor Turnout in Nevada, Florida

Low turnout in Nevada and Florida shows that voters are unhappy with their choices, said Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul, who has yet to win a contest this year. “There’s a lot of people not satisfied with any of the candidates out there,” the Texas congressman said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.” “And that’s why in many ways we’re seeing a lower turnout right now.” Fewer voters came out in Nevada and Florida than four years ago, when Mr. Paul attempted to challenge eventual nominee John McCain and this year’s front-runner Mitt Romney. Mr. Paul said Republicans are wondering why they haven’t ...
Republican Candidate Airs Racially Charged ‘Debbie Spenditnow’ Ad During Super Bowl

A Super Bowl ad for U.S. Senate candidate Pete Hoekstra uses an Asian woman speaking in broken English to accuse his rival, Democratic incumbent Debbie Stabenow, of helping the Chinese economy. “Thank you Michigan Senator Debbie Spenditnow,” the woman says in the 30-second ad as she rides her bike through a rice paddy field. “Debbie spends so much American money, you borrow more and more, from us. You’re economy get very weak, ours get very good. We take your jobs. Thank you Debbie Spenditnow.” Hoekstra then appears in a new frame, saying, “I think this race for Michigan Senate is between Debbie ‘spend-it-now’ and Pete ...
Agribusiness Fights to Allow Children to Work in Manure Pits

Most child labor was prohibited in 1938, but there are a few exceptions for certain industries where children are still allowed to work. One of the biggest loopholes is the agricultural industry. The Department of Labor recently issued new proposed regulations restricting child labor on farms, regulations which are drawing intense opposition from politicians and agribusiness groups like the American Farm Bureau Federation. The rules have been held up by administration official Cass Sunstein, at the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs which reviews most Federal regulations before they are finalized. These rules are complex, and the opposition to them is varied. Some politicians, ...

Instead of the traditional election night party, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich will hold a press conference after the Nevada Caucus on Saturday, raising new speculation about his future in the race. (PICTURES: Newt Gingrich Through the Years) An e-mail sent to reporters on Saturday morning set the Las Vegas press conference for 11 p.m. to midnight Eastern time.

If you think you heard a loud cheer around 8:30 E.T. this morning, you were right. It came from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, where Super Bowl weekend started early—at just about the moment when the Labor Department announced that the unemployment rate fell to 8.3 per cent in January. Of course, once they had almost busted their lungs screaming “touchdown,” the President’s men tried to put a sober face on things. “Today’s employment report provides further evidence that the economy is continuing to heal from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression,” Alan Krueger, the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, said in a blog post that ...
Coulter, Romneycare, And The GOP Crackup

With Mitt Romney re-establishing himself, after the unpleasantness in South Carolina, as the Republicans' de facto nominee, I thought it would be fun to offer some sort of prize--say, a bronze replica of the 1939 Molotov-Von Ribbentrop pact--to the first Fox News personality to endorse Romney's absurd claim that Romneycare (good) was entirely different from Obamacare (bad). I never dreamed that Ann Coulter would beat me to the punch. She's never been much good at playing with the other children. (Remember when she called Jonah Goldberg and Rich Lowry "girly-boys"?) All I can say is that she must really, really want Obama out of the White House, because in her Feb. 1 ...

Hey, remember the tea party? Yes, the tea party, the movement that upended the 2010 congressional elections and was supposed to transform American politics. In recent days, some voices that have defined the movement over the past two years — former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, erstwhile 2012 candidate Herman Cain, Nevada Republican Sharron Angle and real estate mogul/self-promoter Donald Trump — offered their endorsements in the GOP presidential race. And the political world yawned in unison. Cain officially endorsed former House speaker Newt Gingrich before Tuesday’s Florida primary, while Palin said she would vote for Gingrich if she were a Floridian. The payoff: Newt ...

Trump, himself an on-again/off-again candidate for president and former Republican, will announce his support for Romney on Thursday, a source close to the Romney campaign and a Republican familiar with the decision said. CNN had initially reported Trump's backing for Romney. The cable network reported he would make his announcement on Thursday in Las Vegas, citing sources with ...

(Reuters) - Businessman and reality TV personality Donald Trump will endorse former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, U.S. media reported on Wednesday. Sources close to the Gingrich campaign confirmed Trump would endorse Gingrich, according to several television and newspaper reports. Trump's announcement would come on Thursday, two days before the Republican caucus in Nevada, the next state in the party's presidential nominating contest, the reports said.

Obama Uses Housing Crisis as Foil to Romney’s ‘Hit-Bottom’ Strategy

President Barack Obama is escalating the fight over how to revive the housing market, a sector of the economy that has dragged down growth for six years running, eroded consumer confidence and wiped out $7 trillion in American wealth. Opponents said the president’s plan, announced yesterday, was as much about politics as the policy goal of easing access to refinancing for homeowners with negative equity. It helps the White House frame differences with Republican presidential candidates and with Congress, which for two straight years has rejected a bank tax that he said would be used to finance the program. “This housing crisis struck right at the heart of what it means to be ...
Gallup State Numbers Predict Huge Obama Loss

Gallup State Numbers Predict Huge Obama Loss Gallup released their annual state-by-state presidential approval numbers yesterday, and the results should have 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue very worried. If President Obama carries only those states where he had a net positive approval rating in 2011 (e.g. Michigan where he is up 48 percent to 44 percent), Obama would lose the 2012 election to the Republican nominee 323 electoral votes to 215. Gallup adds: Overall, Obama averaged 44% job approval in his third year in office, down from 47% in his second year. His approval rating declined from 2010 to 2011 in most states, with Wyoming, Connecticut, and Maine showing a marginal increase, and ...

WASHINGTON — US Vice President Joe Biden spelled out a blunt reelection message for his boss President Barack Obama on Tuesday — “Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive.” Biden’s comment at a Texas fundraiser came as Obama stepped up his drive to claim credit for rescuing the iconic US car industry, as he took a spin around the Washington auto show and declared “the US auto industry is back.” The vice president boiled down Obama’s State of the Union message into some pithy sound bites at a fundraiser in Fort Worth expected to raise more than $150,000 dollars for the reelection campaign. Biden hailed Obama as a champion of ...

By Josh Lederman and Niall Stanage - 01/31/12 11:00 PM ET TAMPA, Fla. — Mitt Romney reclaimed his front-runner status for the GOP presidential nomination on Tuesday night with a decisive win in Florida’s primary. It was an emphatic comeback for the former Massachusetts governor, who successfully fended off a major threat from former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.). Romney congratulated his rivals still in the contest, calling them “serious and able competitors.” He added that "a competitive primary does not divide us, it prepares us and we will win. When we gather back here in Tampa seven months from now for our convention, ours will be a united party with a ...

First-term Republican congressman Allen West of Florida has become a Tea Party darling due in part to his willingness to offer up strong, incendiary rhetoric about his opponents. The latest example came at a Florida GOP dinner over the weekend, when West directed this comment to President Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress: "Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else. You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America." ...

(Matt Rouke/AP) WINDERMERE, Fla.--Next time, Eddie Dillard won't wear flip-flops. Dillard, a 29-year-old Ron Paul supporter from this suburb near Orlando, arrived to vote at his precinct at Winderemere Baptist Church early Tuesday morning. Pulling into the parking lot, Dillard noticed a man outside the polling place with a Gingrich sign. He decided to run home, slip into his "Ron Paul Rocks America" T-shirt, grab a "Ron Paul 2012" sign from his garage, and return to give his candidate some representation outside the precinct after he cast his vote. Dillard found a quiet spot along a sidewalk lined with tiny American flags and held up his sign. Little did he know, ...

Gingrich: I Wouldn't Accept Debate Versus Obama Moderated by Reporters Newt Gingrich threatened Monday to skip any debate as the Republican nominee versus President Obama that's moderated by a member of the media. "As your nominee, I will not accept debates in the fall in which the reporters are the moderators," Gingrich said at a rally in Pensacola. "We don’t need to have a second Obama person at the debate." The threat is in keeping with the scorn with which the former House speaker has treated the press throughout the campaign, particularly at debates. Gingrich most notably won a standing ovation by angrily dismissing a question at a South Carolina ...
