What a debate warm-up. Mitt Romney created a stir Thursday when he declared to Iowans that "corporations are people." Then Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who could present a major challenge to front-runner Romney, made clear he was entering the race for the Republican president nomination. It all happened a few hours before the GOP presidential debate in Iowa _ an eight-candidate spectacle that was missing the Republican field's newest member. Perry was hundreds of miles away in Austin finalizing plans for a weekend announcement tour. The two-hour nationally televised debate Thursday night _ featuring Romney and seven declared candidates who are trying to emerge as his chief rival _ ...
Sarah Palin's 'One Nation' Bus Tour Resumes, First Stop Iowa On Eve Of Ames Straw Poll

Just when you think Sarah Palin is out, she shoves herself back in. After a two-month break from her "One Nation" bus tour, the former Alaska governor and presidential flirt is resuming her jaunt across America and heading to Iowa this week. She'll make a stop in Des Moines at the State Fair on Friday - the eve of the state's much-hyped Ames Straw Poll and just before a GOP debate at Iowa State University on Thursday. Palin won't participate in the two events, however, because she's not officially a candidate, according to the Des Moines Register. "State fairs hold a special place in our nation's history and heritage, so my family is honored to ...
Perry Claims Stimulus ‘Failed,’ Neglecting To Note Its Usefulness To Texas
Post Date: 2011-08-11 11:54:52 by Brian S

The federal stimulus program that many experts agree kept the U.S. economy running in the midst of an unprecedented financial crisis was especially valuable to Texas, which accepted more aid dollars than any other state apart from California, using them to close nearly 97 percent of its budget deficit last year. But according to a new fundraising letter from Gov. Rick Perry (R), a likely presidential contender, he thinks the stimulus "failed." But that so-called failure is what let Perry and Texas Republicans balance the state's budget in 2009 and 2010, kept tens of thousands employed and ensured that hundreds of thousands continued to receive health benefits. Overall, $28.5 ...

WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Republicans named their six members to a U.S. congressional deficit-reduction super committee on Wednesday, setting the stage for an attempt to create bipartisan agreement on taxes and government spending. Senators Jon Kyl, Rob Portman and Patrick Toomey were selected by Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell. House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, the top Republican in Congress, named Representatives Dave Camp, Jeb Hensarling and Fred Upton to the committee. The panel is known as the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction and was established to find $1.5 trillion in additional budget saving over 10 years. Expectations for a fiscal policy ...

WASHINGTON -- Republican leaders of the House and Senate announced their picks Wednesday for the "super Congress" deficit committee slated with finding about $1.5 trillion in savings. Their announcement comes a day after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid appointed three Democrats to the 12-member commission. On the Senate side, Sens. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) and Rob Portman (R-Ohio) will serve on the commission, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell announced. Reps.

Obama's dismal handling of the downgrade to America's credit rating is the most pitiful lack of leadership in recent memory. In my 52 years on this earth, I have learned that there is one thing which is 100% certain in life: winners take responsibility and losers blame others. Bush, Europe, the weather, the Arab Spring, Wall Street, Owners of private jets, the Tea Party, Oil Companies, Glen Beck, Gold "speculators", the GOP, and even ATM Machines... all at fault for the dismal economy, which led to the downgrade. But not the government and certainly not Obama. No, they are as pure and faultless as a virgin's honey pot. Even liberals are starting to get this. People ...

I was watching MSNBC last night covering the Wisconsin recall election. They were in Wisconsin among a crowd of recall supporters. Every single "working person" they interviewed was a government employee -- mostly employees of the failed government monopoly school system. There wasn't a single Teamster, UAW member, etc. in the crowd. It was all government employees. This should have crystallized the real problem in America for everyone. The two sides in America politics are not "rich" versus "poor". The two sides in America are people who work for a living versus people who vote for their living. There are "rich", "middle class", and ...

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A stand by Wisconsin Republicans against a massive effort to oust them from power could reverberate across the country as the battle over union rights and the conservative revolution heads toward the 2012 presidential race. Democrats succeeded in taking two Wisconsin state Senate seats away from Republican incumbents on Tuesday but fell one short of what they needed to seize majority control of the chamber. Republicans saw it as a big win for Gov. Scott Walker and an affirmation of his conservative agenda, the hallmark of which has been his successful push to strip most collective bargaining rights from public workers. Walker told The Associated Press on Wednesday ...
Tea Party Wonders If Rick Perry Walks The Walk

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Rick Perry has been widely touted as a Republican presidential candidate who could appeal Tea Party voters, but some in the anti-tax movement wonder if his record as Texas governor stacks up to his rhetoric. After all, they say, there are reasons to think he's a spendthrift. He once campaigned for Democrat Al Gore, reviled by the Tea Party for being Bill Clinton's vice president and for his campaigning on climate change, and he even spoke kindly about Hillary Clinton's healthcare reform efforts. Then there is the issue that he was once a Democrat. So as Perry plans the 2012 White House bid many observers expect he may announce as early as this week, some ...

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin is under siege. Direct mail pieces and television ads are flooding the state. Outside interest group spending in Tuesday’s recall elections is shattering campaign finance records. Voter interest is running so high that a few local officials are predicting presidential-election level turnout. If it seems like overkill for a mid-August, off-year election for six state Senate seats, that’s because it is. The recall contests have been thoroughly nationalized, accompanied by the total war ethos and scorched earth tactics that typically mark national races. The reason? Both sides view Tuesday as the first major battle of the 2012 election. ...

Only 24% of those surveyed say most members of Congress deserve re-election, the lowest standing since Gallup began asking the question in 1991. Fifty-six percent say their own representative deserves another term, similar to responses just before tumultuous elections in 1994, 2006 and 2010 that changed control of the House or Senate.And a majority of Americans, 51%, say President Obama doesn't deserve re-election; 47% say he does. In another question, Obama bests an unnamed Republican presidential ...

A Failed Presidency -- The American Problem

Few Americans needed Standard & Poor to confirm the mismanagement of the United States government and its finances. The downgrading of American credit will raise interest rates on America’s huge debt and ultimately on all Americans. Popular polls say that most Americans blame Congress—but that’s too simplistic. As much as Barack Obama would like to shift that blame onto Congress, the fault lies squarely on the shoulders of President. It is first and foremost a leadership problem that is crippling America—and the leader is President Barack Obama—not the many members of Congress. No matter how many speeches he makes, the conclusion is clear: Obama’s greatest ...

Debt ceiling deal does not solve our fiscal woes [Full Thread]

Back slapping and smiles abounded as the president and congressional leaders reached a debt ceiling compromise last night. The deal, they said, will save us from falling over the fiscal cliff. Do not believe a word of it. The bipartisan deal does not alter the grim fact that the US government is saddled with far greater obligations than it can conceivably meet. Public debt of $14.5 trillion and long term unfunded liabilities well in excess of $100 trillion are simply an insurmountable burden. To put it plainly, the US federal government is bankrupt. The only reason its finances have not yet collapsed is due to the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency. Debt ceiling ...

SPIEGEL: The world is looking at Washington and sees gridlock and chaos. How much have the negotiations over the United States' debt ceiling hurt America's standing in the world? Meckler: Saying that these debates have hurt our image is absurd. What you currently see in Washington is one of the most responsible debates ever about the size and scope of government.

Ending a perilous stalemate, President Barack Obama and congressional leaders announced agreement Sunday night on an emergency deal to avoid to avert the nation's first-ever financial default. The arrangement would cut more than $2 trillion from federal spending over a decade. The dramatic agreement, with scant time remaining before Tuesday's deadline, "will allow us to avoid default and end the crisis that Washington imposed on the rest of America," Obama said. Default "would have had a devastating effect on our economy," the president said at the White House, relaying the news to the nation and to financial markets around the world.
