New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is reconsidering his decision not to enter the 2012 presidential race — and he says he will let top Republican donors know within days about his plans, Newsmax has learned. During the past few weeks, several leading Republican donors and fundraisers have been urging the popular Republican governor to reconsider his decision not to run and to enter the GOP primary. These Christie supporters note that significant GOP support has remained on the sidelines of the primary fight. Many leading fundraisers have yet to commit to any current primary contender, including frontrunners Rick Perry and Mitt Romney. Newsmax has learned that the effort to draft ...

Reality TV star Bristol Palin is seen in a video today confronting an angry man who shouted out that Sarah Palin is "a whore" and "a fucking devil." According to Hollywood.TV, Bristol was at West Hollywood's Saddle Ranch riding a mechanical bull for a new show when the exchange occurred. A man off-camera yells "Did you ride Levi like that? You're mother's a whore." She is seen approaching the man, then asks him what her mother may have done along for one specific example to back his claim. She then asks, "Is it because you're a homosexual? ... Because I can tell you are. That's your boyfriend, right there." The man says she is ...
Fox freaks after Ron Paul wins debate

If you’ve noticed a lack of Ron Paul in the mainstream media’s coverage of the 2012 presidential race, it might not be an accident. After he placed first in a Fox News poll, the outlet has removed the results from their website without explanation. Fox had launched an online poll to gauge readers’ opinions on last night’s Republican show-down and asked their audience, “Which GOP presidential candidate do you think won the Fox News/Google debate?” At one point Paul placed in first, with 30 percent of the votes, but a reader of Infowars.com has pointed out that the poll has disappeared from the website, or has been shuffled to another page far from the front of ...
Texas toast? Rick Perry worries GOP

ORLANDO – The first line of Rick Perry’s campaign obituary may have been drafted Thursday night: He got in too late. It’s not quite time for his camp to panic but in his third debate in a month – nearly as many as he’s done in the entire decade he’s served as Texas governor – Perry demonstrated why so few presidential candidates who parachute into the race mid-campaign win the nomination. Perry gave a foreign policy answer that offered no indication he’s thought about how to respond to threats against America, twice bobbled attacks on Mitt Romney’s well-documented departures from conservative orthodoxy, called immigration hard-liners heartless ...
Democratic pollster: Panic

Democracy Corps polled voters in 60 congressional districts that Republicans flipped in 2010. President Obama carried 48 of them and the other 12 should be competitive. One of the 12 is West Virginia 1, which was held by a Democrat named Mollohan (father and son) from 1969 until last year, when Republican David McKinley won the seat. So how is Obama faring in those 60 battleground congressional districts? Poorly. He trails Rick Perry 49%-45% in these 60 districts and Mitt Romney 49%-43%. While much of the Democracy Corps poll concentrates on Congressional Republicans, the man whose name likely will be at the top of the ticket is Barack Obama. And his numbers are slipping. In March, his ...

Texas Gov. Rick Perry makes another wildly false claim in a new Web ad — saying that the U.S. poverty rate has hit an “all-time high.” In fact, the rate is the highest since 1993, but 7.3 percentage points lower than it was in 1959, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s most recent annual tally.

Speaker Oompa Loompa Allowed Stopgap Vote On Wednesday To Creat Separation Between Him And Lunatic Fringe Of His Party

WASHINGTON — The House on Friday passed a new version of a stopgap spending bill about 30 hours after rejecting a nearly identical version of the legislation, intended to keep the government open and to provide assistance to victims of natural disasters. The vote was 219 to 203. House Republican leaders, trying to recover from a humiliating political defeat, made one change in the bill. The new version would offset more of the cost of disaster assistance by rescinding $100 million from an Energy Department program that guaranteed a loan for Solyndra, the solar equipment manufacturer that filed recently for bankruptcy protection. The bill, to finance government operations for seven ...

His hometown pro football team may not have won the Super Bowl for more than a quarter century, but that won’t stop President Obama from hosting them at the White House. The president is inviting members of the Chicago Bears 1985 Super Bowl championship team to the White House on Oct. 7, the Associated Press reported Thursday. Super Bowl champions are traditionally honored with a visit to the White House. But plans for the 1985 Bears to come to Washington were scrapped when the space shuttle Challenger exploded just days after their victory in January 1986, according to the AP. To his chagrin, Obama hosted the Bears' rival, the Green Bay Packers, at the White House this year ...

A new scandal has broken out surrounding the Obama administration, and this could be big (just like all the others could be big). Ed Morrissey reports on a Daily Beast article breaking the story. From the Daily Beast article: The four-star Air Force general who oversees U.S. Space Command walked into a highly secured room on Capitol Hill a week ago to give a classified briefing to lawmakers and staff, and dropped a surprise. Pressed by members, Gen. William Shelton said the White House tried to pressure him to change his testimony to make it more favorable to a company tied to a large Democratic donor.

Clinton praised Obama’s American Jobs Act during an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press, arguing that Republican opposition to letting the plan add to the federal deficit is hypocritical, given the unchecked war spending of the last decade. If Republicans don’t want to raise taxes on the rich to pay for the payroll tax cut Obama proposed, Clinton said, then Congress should declare the current economic climate an “emergency” and cut the payroll tax without paying for it. “If you look at the independent economic analysis of the program the president outlined, a broad range of economists have said that, if it’s adopted, in 2012 GDP growth would be between 1.5 ...

The battle lines are drawn. It's the left against the lunatic left... Bill Clinton But speaking with Newsmax, he criticized the president's deficit-reduction plan, which calls for $1.5 trillion in tax hikes to be collected by raising the rates on people making $200,000 or more and adding an additional calculation for people making more than $1 million. "It's okay with me. I'll pay more. But it won't solve the problem," Clinton said, Ben Nelson Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), a key moderate who's up for reelection next year, didn't mince words: "There's too much discussion about raising taxes right now, not enough focus on cutting spending." ...

The Avoidance of Responsibility: Liberals Exculpate Themselves for Obama’s Failure

Nothing is more important to liberals than avoiding responsiblity for the failures of liberalism, and the debacle that is the Obama administration thus requires extraordinary efforts at blameshifting and scapegoating. Fortunately for liberals, there is Ron Suskind’s Confidence Men, a new book that tells them what they want to hear. You can read Dave Weigel’s “Where It All Went Wrong” and David Graham’s “9 Juicy Bits from Ron Suskind’s Book” and see how Confidence Men permits liberals to admit that Obama is a stuttering clusterf–k of a miserable failure without having to admit that liberalism has failed. The key scene in the book, according to ...

If it’s real, it will make you put your head in your hands — no matter your political persuasion. An alleged photo of President Obama reportedly taken yesterday has started to make the rounds. No, it’s not another Obama halo pic, but rather it shows the president striking an embarrassing pose. While standing with other leaders during an Open Government Partnership event, Obama can be seen waving to the camera. The only problem? He’s the only one — and he‘s covering another man’s face.

WASHINGTON — House Republican leaders suffered a surprising setback on Wednesday when the House rejected their version of a stopgap spending bill, leaving unclear how Congress will provide money to keep the government open after Sept. 30 and aid victims of a string of costly recent natural disasters. The 230-to-195 vote came after fiscally conservative Republicans joined an overwhelming majority of Democrats in opposing the legislation. As it became clear that the bill was going down, a number of Republicans changed their votes from yes to no. The unexpected outcome illustrated how the intense fiscal fights of recent months had transformed the politics of disaster relief, which in ...

Young adults, long the group most likely to be uninsured, are gaining health coverage faster than expected since the 2010 health law began allowing parents to cover them as dependents on family policies. Three new surveys, including two released on Wednesday, show that adults under 26 made significant and unique gains in insurance coverage in 2010 and the first half of 2011. One of them, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, estimates that in the first quarter of 2011 there were 900,000 fewer uninsured adults in the 19-to-25 age bracket than in 2010. This was despite deep hardship imposed by the recession, which has left young adults unemployed at nearly double the rate of ...

Republicans to Obama: The Whole Country Can be Rich By Karin McQuillan The good news is that America has wealth beyond dreams that can be realized in the next decade, producing a million new jobs. According to a recent Congressional report, the United States' combined recoverable natural gas, oil and coal endowment is the largest on Earth. Our resources are larger than Saudi Arabia, China and Canada, combined. Our known resources can meet the country's need for oil and gas for the rest of the century. That's not including shale oil, the true energy future. If we used our own oil, we could replace imported oil from the Persian Gulf for the next fifty years. By then cars will ...
House Kills Stopgap Spending Bill Containing $3.7 Billion For Disaster Aid
Post Date: 2011-09-21 18:38:11 by Brian S

The surprise 230-195 defeat came at the hands of Democrats and tea party Republicans. Democrats were opposed because the measure contains $1.5 billion in cuts to a government loan program to help car companies build fuel-efficient vehicles. For their part, many GOP conservatives felt the underlying bill permits spending at too high a rate. The outcome sends House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and his leadership team back to the drawing board as they seek to make sure the government doesn't shut down at the end of next week. It also raises the possibility that the government's main disaster relief program could run out of money early next week for victims of Hurricane Irene and ...

Rush Limbaugh said President Barak Obama stole one of the talk-show host’s “35 Undeniable Truths of Life” when he addressed the United Nations Wednesday. “I feel like I have been plagiarized,” Limbaugh said. “‘Peace does not mean the absence of war’ — Obama uttered those exact words in his speech today at the United Nations,” adding that the statement was the fourth truth on his list. Limbaugh replayed the audio on his program, along with a sound bite of the president saying, “Peace is hard.” “Did you know that peace is hard?” he asked his listeners. “Obama really misses the Jewish vote — he made an appeal ...
Armed Services Chairman Suggests Deep Defense Cuts Could Mean Reinstatement Of Military Draft

The House Armed Services Committee chairman is warning that further reductions to projected defense spending could make a military career so unattractive that it would force the Pentagon to revive the draft. Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., suggested that spending cuts beyond the $350 billion that President Barack Obama and Congress agreed to in the debt accord this past summer could force the military to slash the number of service members, now some 2.3 million, including National Guard and reserves. A special bipartisan committee is trying to come up with $1.5 trillion in spending cuts from all government spending. If it fails, or if Congress rejects its proposal, ...

On September 18th, 2011, we were awoken by police bullhorns around seven in the morning, they objected to us protecting ourselves from the rain. They told us that the tarps suspended above us had to be taken down. We held a General Assembly to determine how to respond. We decided that we would hold the tarps over ourselves and our possessions. The police ripped the plastic away from us. We then scrambled to protect our possessions, primarily the media equipment streaming our occupation to the world. The police were also mostly interested in our cameras, it seems like they don't want you watching us. ...
U.S. assembling secret drone bases in Africa, Arabian Peninsula, officials say

The Obama administration is assembling a constellation of secret drone bases for counterterrorism operations in the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula as part of a newly aggressive campaign to attack al-Qaeda affiliates in Somalia and Yemen, U.S. officials said. One of the installations is being established in Ethiopia, a U.S. ally in the fight against al-Shabab, the Somali militant group that controls much of that country. Another base is in the Seychelles, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, where a small fleet of “hunter-killer” drones resumed operations this month after an experimental mission demonstrated that the unmanned aircraft could effectively patrol ...
Poll finds Obama losing ground to Republicans

WASHINGTON -- Look out President Barack Obama. Even Sarah Palin's gaining on you. A new McClatchy-Marist poll finds that Obama looks increasingly vulnerable in next year's election, with a majority of voters believing he'll lose to any Republican, a solid plurality saying they'll definitely vote against him and most potential Republican challengers gaining on him. Even in potential matchups where he leads, Obama in most cases has lost ground to the Republican. The biggest gain came for Palin, the former Alaska governor who hasn't yet announced whether she'll jump into the fast-changing race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. After trailing Obama by ...
