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.

Obama/Biden '12

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.”

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...

Sarah the Scrooge

I hope everyone is having great family time and happiness during this holiday season.

Although most people put all disdain for others away during this joyous time of year, ex-Governor Sarah Palin put on her best Grinch face and found her inner-Scrooge (I'm sure it wasn't that hard for her to find) to blast the Obama Christmas card. The card shows Bo Obama laying near the fireplace in a decorated room. Poinsettias sit on a table surrounded by gifts in the seemingly warm, comfortable room.

Palin went on Fox News radio to criticize the Obama card. She called it "odd" that the card emphasizes the dog instead of traditions like "family, faith and freedom."

Seems like Palin is still trying to keep her talking points and "Mama Grizzly" values in which she's made millions of dollars from alive while the other GOP eels battle for the Presidential nomination. Too bad no one cares. Palin is the GOP and Tea-baggers used toy that they no longer want to play with. She is desperately trying to focus the attention back to her by attacking Obama's....Christmas card.

Hope you're enjoying the stocking of coal Santa left you, Sarah.

The Appeal of Mila Kunis

A recent article from Politico revealed what every liberal had hoped: Mila Kunis is one of us. . . well at least an Obama supporter.

Politico:

Chin up Mr. President. The Sundance Kid may be rather disappointed in you but Mila Kunis still loves you. Yes, that Mila Kunis. From “Black Swan” and Marine Corps Ball viral video fame.

“I love Barack Obama, I voted for him and I will forever be proud of my vote," Kunis told the UK’s Stylist magazine.

The actress, 28, was promoting her new romcom, “Friends with Benefits,” but half the interview focused on politics. “How do you feel about the US debt crisis?” the interviewer asked. Not your typical Hollywood starlet question, but Kunis was happy to play ball.

“I think America is in a very temperamental state, and the decision that was made and the compromises made mean, in my opinion, that people are going to pay for a very long time,” said the actress.

Then she gave a nod to Obama for his efforts: “I know that he [Obama] tried. I know because you keep reading these reports of him trying to compromise with the Tea Party and the Republican Party and trying to come to a 50/50 agreement. I don’t think it was one. I feel the Democratic Party compromised everything and the Republican Party compromised pretty much nothing.”

When the interviewer called many young people “politically unaware,” Kunis agreed and said, “you are given such an amazing opportunity with so much information. Why is no-one taking advantage of it? You don’t have to watch Fox News or CNN or MSNBC; you don’t have to be part of a political party, you could just read.”

She chided the younger generation for not reading books, the news, the paper, and then zoned in on “Middle America.” “So obviously you are incredibly ill-informed to the point where they will go do these tests in Middle America… And they’ll ask, ‘OK, what party are you?’ And they’ll say, ‘Republican.’ ‘Why?’ And they can’t even tell you. They have no idea what the Republican Party stands for. Why did I vote for Obama? I can tell you why I voted for him, what I agreed and disagreed with him on, for hours.”

Her advice for the youth of today: “Whoever you vote for, don’t do it just because. And don’t tell me it’s because of religion either because that whole thing is knocked completely out the window. So you better just educate yourself.”-

Wow. Thank you Mila. You hit it right on the head. Growing up in the mid-west, this is what I dealt with every day. "Ill informed"...or simply brainwashed by their parents to the point of no return. Yes, Mila Kunis is an incredibly talented and extremely attractive actress, however the main reason I posted this is because she sums up the stupidity of so many people in my native region of our country. Obviously there are the few who stand out and know what the GOP stands for, but a majority that I know and knew, don't.

The BEST part of Mila Kunis being an Obama supporter is watching the scrubs at Big Hollywood scramble and become at a loss for words over this news....Why? Because awhile back, Kunis accepted an invitation to a military ball --- which is really cool and respectable for notable actress. During this time, the right-wingers at Big Hollywood convinced themselves that Kunis was a....wait for it....Hollywood conservative because she supported the military. Well, most liberals support or have some amount of support for our military. What the majority of liberals don't support is war. It is so fun watching Big Hollywood hang its head in defeat and then lashing out at her, for her views. They wanted to add her to the list of "hot" female republicans.

I hope to see more interviews by Mila Kunis about her support of President Obama and the ignorance of the GOP.

President Huntsman? Impossible With the Current GOP

If Republicans were smart, they'd nominate Jon Huntsman to go up against Barack Obama in 2012. The majority of Huntsman's values are conservative, however he has had liberal...I mean common sense views on global warming and evolution. Not to mention his power and work as a U.S. Ambassador to China.

Huntsman recently said he would call on the wealthy to "sacrifice".

"As president, I wouldn’t hesitate to call on a sacrifice from all of our people, even those at the very highest end of the income spectrum,” Huntsman said.

The reason the GOP would be wise to put Huntsman up against Obama, is because Huntsman could possibly win over disappointed, centrist democrats as well as the undecided independents. The average undecided American voter isn't going to vote for someone who is bulldozing and then expanding their $12 million dollar beach house, or someone who is promising to lower gas prices below $2 a gallon. These average undecided American voters don't want a candidate whose sole focus is restricting abortions or banning the construction and support of Muslim Mosques. They are looking to vote for a candidate who has common sense and is down to earth. If the Republican Party puts up a candidate that doesn't hold such common sense values and is making "out-of-this-world" promises, then those average undecided American voters will vote for Barack Obama who is down to earth and has an agenda that is not batshit crazy. Those frustrated liberals and centrist democrats will also support Obama, knowing that the alternative will destroy this wonderful country of ours.

More Hollywood Love for Obama

Hollywood is just beginning to open their wallets for President Obama's reelection.

Politico:

“This is a pretty good looking crowd,” Obama said at a New York fundraiser Thursday night.

When the guest list includes names like Gwyneth Paltrow, her husband Chris Martin, Jimmy Fallon, Vera Wang, Anna Wintour and Alicia Keys, the president could be accused of understatement.

Hundreds of people packed the streets of the West Village and police marksmen stood on rooftops as Obama arrived at the residence of media mogul Harvey Weinstein, according to pool reports.

The president addressed about 50 guests who sat in tables of ten. Tickets were $35,800 according to a Democratic official, with the first $5000 of each ticket going to the Obama Victory Fund and the rest to the DNC. The president earlier had addressed a small, separate gathering of 15 at the Ritz Carlton hotel.

The president spoke on debt, the economy and his reelection campaign, and commented on his own lack of cool factor with the electorate this time around.

“They have still got the Obama poster, it is all frayed. Obama is gray haired, he doesn’t seem as cool,” he said. “In some ways that is a healthy thing. Because in 2012… we realize it is about us.. It is not about my election. One person.”

Maybe he hopes the electorate will judge him by the company he keeps.
