Newt is a Newt

I find it quite hilarious that Newt "Pillsbury Doughboy" Gingrich wanted an "open marriage" with his ex-wife Marianne Gingrich while he was allegedly seeing his current wife, Callista. This all occurred while Newt was giving speeches around the country about family values and bitching about Bill Clinton's scandal.

Newt will NEVER be the GOP presidential nominee because he has no family or Christian values--- a major issue to the Republican base. He just wouldn't fall under the "conservative category".

However, Republicans are desperate to get that socialist, Muslim Barack Hussein Obama out of office because he's destroying our country, our constitution, our economy....you get the point.

If for some odd chance he would become the nominee, the Republican party as we know it will be finished. All those who would vote for Gingrich would be hypocrites. Which most of them already are. . . . For some reason, Republicans put there feet in their mouths much more often than democrats.

Liberal of the Day

Elizabeth Warren!

Recent Politico article shows an impressive fundraising quarter for the Massachusetts Senate race against GOP Scott Brown.

Democrat Elizabeth Warren’s campaign pulled in a whopping $5.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, besting Republican Sen. Scott Brown’s $3.2 million haul during the last three months of the year.
The staggering fundraising figures offer more evidence that the high-profile Massachusetts contest will be one of the most expensive – and heavily contested – Senate races of the 2012 cycle.

Warren’s new fundraising figures brought her total to $8.8 million since launching her campaign in September. She now has more than $6 million cash on hand but trails Brown’s $12.8 million on hand. The moderate Republican upset Democratic Attorney General Martha Coakley in a January 2010 special election following the death of the longtime liberal Sen. Ted Kennedy.

A Harvard law professor and consumer advocate, Warren highlighted the fact the number of Massachusetts donors now totals 23,000, up from 11,700 in September. The average contribution to her campaign is about $64.
“From all across our commonwealth, people are supporting our campaign and the fight to level the playing field for middle class families,” Warren said in a statement on Wednesday.
“With Wall Street lining up against this campaign, already contributing millions and willing to pay any price to try to stop our work, it’s going to take a strong, grassroots effort like this to win.”
Warren’s big fourth quarter helped her campaign purchase $1.6 million in television ads in December.
While the exact breakdown of Warren’s contributions weren’t immediately known, a Massachusetts Republican Party spokeswoman suggested most of the money came from donors outside of Massachusetts. Warren’s September figures revealed that 70 percent of her donations came from out of state.
“Elizabeth Warren is being financed by extreme liberal special interests from outside Massachusetts,” said spokeswoman Alleigh Marré. “As the intellectual founder of the radical Occupy protests, she has a national network of left wing supporters eager to open their wallets to finance her agenda of bigger government, higher taxes and more debt.”

Liberal of the Day

And the liberal of the day is......


Scarlett Johansson!
Politico:
When Scarlett Johansson graced the cover of Vanity Fair in 2006, she was wearing nothing at all. For the magazine’s current December cover, she opted for clothes, but talked nudity in an interview about her recent phone-hacking scandal. She also chatted about the president.

Back in 2008, the actress boasted about exchanging emails with Obama, campaigned for him all over the country, sang “Yes we Can" and said, "My heart belongs to Barack.”

Three years later, have her feelings changed? “We’re all guilty of being idealistic, I and everyone who voted for him,” she told Vanity Fair. When asked if she would stump for the president again, she said, “It would be irresponsible not to.”

Pope: Gay Marriage a "threat to humanity"

Pope Benedict announced earlier this week that gay marriage was a threat to humanity's future.

"This is not a simple social convention, but rather the fundamental cell of every society. Consequently, policies which undermine the family threaten human dignity and the future of humanity itself," he said.

There are thousands of problems and conflicts in the world today. War. Hunger. Global warming. Unhealthy water. Poverty. etc...

Apparently gay marriage is a threat to humanity. I think any of the prior conditions mentioned are far more of a threat than the act of two loving individuals getting married. This is coming from a man who was, at one time a Nazi.

Classic liberal Susan Sarandon called Pope Benedict a Nazi a few months ago. Classic.

Picture of the day: Obamacare

All these GOP oddballs say they stand up for and represent "the common man." If they actually do, they won't repeal "Obamacare."

So funny how all these GOPers say how pro-life they are and how much candidates' views on abortion matter. They seem to forget about those who are already born. Millions of Americans didn't have health insurance coverage before health reform was passed, and thousands were dying every year because they simply couldn't afford the medical costs.

Obama/Biden 2012

Hollywood Donations

Seems the Hollywood liberals are beginning to come around again for President Obama.

(CNSNews.com) – A number of big names from the entertainment industry have contributed to President Barack Obama’s campaign for a second term in office and to the Democratic National Committee.
According to the campaign contribution data on the OpenSecrets.org Web site, actor George Clooney is renewing his support for President Obama in 2011 with a $2,500 contribution for the primary and another $2,500 donation for the presidential race – total $5,000. (Each primary, runoff, and general election counts as a separate election.) Clooney’s contributions are up from the maximum individual donation of $2,300 that he gave Obama in the 2008 campaign (also then $2,300 for the primary and then another $2,300 in the general election for Obama.)

Under federal election campaign finance law for 2011-12, an individual may give $2,500 to each candidate and $30,800 to a national party committee, such as the Democratic National Committee (DNC) or the Republican National Committee (RNC).

Clooney gave the maximum $30,800 to the DNC on April 26, 2011, the same day he gave the two donations for the Obama primary and general election.

Tom Hanks, a two-time Oscar winner for Best Actor, is also, like Clooney, renewing his support for President Obama.  Hanks gave two $2,500 donations (primary and general race) to Obama on Apr. 26, 2011. He also gave the maximum $30,800 to the DNC that same day.

Actor Michael Douglas, who recently renewed his role as Wall Street wizard Gordon Gekko in “Money Never Sleeps,” donated $2,000 to Barack Obama on May 5, 2011. Michael’s father, Kirk Douglas, gave the maximum $2,500 to Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.) on June 23.

Filmmaker Steven Spielberg went all out, giving $30,800 to the DNC on Apr. 26; $8,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on July 31; and two $2,500 donations to Barack Obama on Apr. 26.
Spielberg also gave the maximum $2,500 to Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Aug. 25; two $2,500 donations to Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) on June 21; another $2,500 to Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) on Mar. 31; and another $2,500 to Rep. Howard Berman (D-Calif.) on Sept. 19.

Some of Spielberg’s fellow filmmakers joined him in directing their contributions toward Democratic causes.  Director Ron Howard gave $1,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, while Rob Reiner and Cameron Crowe donated $5,000 and $500, respectively, to the same committee.  Crowe also contributed the yearly maximum of $2,500 to President Obama (for both primary and general election, total: $5,000).

Singer-songwriter Neil Young gave the maximum: $30,800 to the DNC on Apr. 22, and two $2,500 donations to Obama on Apr. 12.
Neil’s wife, Pegi Young, also gave the maximum: $30,800 to the DNC and two $2,500 donations to Obama on Apr. 14, 2011.

Five-time Grammy Award winner James Taylor matched Young’s contributions to both the DNC Services Corp. and President Obama, giving the maximum annual contributions.

Not all celebrities back President Obama’s reelection campaign.  Some have chosen to make donations to candidates vying for the Republican nomination.  Dennis Miller, comedian and political commentator, made a $250 donation to then-presidential candidate Herman Cain on Sept. 26.

Nationally syndicated radio personality and author Neal Boortz also donated to then-presidential candidate Herman Cain in the amount of $1,000 on Feb. 27.  He donated $2,400 to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Mar. 30.

Ben Stein, actor, comedian, and economist, contributed $1,500 to Rep. Michele Bachmann’s campaign, and he also donated $250 to Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) on Aug. 8.

Jack Nicklaus, arguably the greatest golfer of all time, donated $3,630 to the Republican National Committee and $2,500 to the National Republican Congressional Committee.
Business titan and resort owner Steve Wynn contributed $1,000 to Republican candidate Mitt Romney.

Real estate mogul Donald Trump contributed $30,800 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee.  He also gave $1,000 to Rep. West (R-Fla.), another $1,000 to Rep. Pete King (R-NY), and $2,500 to Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.)

Bachmann's Failure

Michele Bachmann has officially dropped out of GOP Presidential race. Is this a surprise to anyone? No. Not really.

Why? People never really got to know her. Her robotic speeches and false historical statements caused many to shy away from the Minnesota congresswoman. She often came off as oblivious and  not human.

However, there is one large factor this Tea Party Patriot never really played upon in this primary season. Unlike Hillary Clinton before her, Michele Bachmann never played the woman/female card. One thing that propelled Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to the top of the ticket a few short years ago was that these two candidates were different than the usual presidential candidate; one was an African American and one was a woman. Both played upon these aspects of gender and skin color.

The Bachmann campaign never embraced the fact that she was a woman, the only woman in the race. Could this have helped her? I think so. After Hillary Clinton bowed out in 2008, and John McCain picked Sarah Palin as his running mate, many of Clinton's female followers began supporting the McCain/Palin ticket because of Palin.
Right now women are not "strongly" supporting Obama. Why didn't the Bachmann campaign jump upon this? Was she afraid of stealing Palin's thunder? Palin decided not to run back in...September. Maybe Bachmann was afraid of the criticisms facing women? Hillary Clinton was criticized over and over again for emotional distress and doubts of strength because she was a female. However, Hillary Clinton kept inspiration for millions of people alive by giving hope that she could be the first female president.

Many feminists are liberal. However, there are many conservative women out there who are fully supportive of women in power.

It will be interesting to see what Bachmann's next move is. I have a feeling we will be seeing her A LOT in the near future. Great...
