FINALLY ! After the sudden surge of the Moral conservatives and their main guy Santorm..the other leg of Reagan's Republican stool fights back Anybody but Romney does have an ally.. and his name is PAUL.. Newt is Santorums wing man or what ever when they attack Romney on moral issues such as abortion and gay rights..tag team. Moral issues contain more than that though..including civility..honesty and true representation of ones self to the public. The economic leg is where Obama's weakness lies... despite his garbage about the 3rd shift at Chevy building full sized trucks not with standing. Gimmicks to redefine unemployment and what a real profit means will be exploited. If Gm just had a record profit ..why didn't it pay down its debt to the US people before giving UNION workers a $ 7,000 bonus ? GM has ONLY repaid about 1/2 of what it borrowed.. Just like the American economy the tricks being played can be exploited ..but not by those only focus on 1 leg of that republican stool...and not by those who NEVER worried about the national debt until now. ENTER PAUL..the same guy who was attacked by many including me on morals..me being fooled all along that that was the game plan all along.. get rid of the FISCAL people ..The governors..and let only the MORAL leg..congressman remain. They couldn't run on any fiscal sanity..the record is clear..they lose..so to diminish Paul we attacked him on defense..( still a sticking point with me..) and HIS morality..going back decades. So now Paul speaks and people will listen..AND since FOX wont give fair play.. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/02/19/paul-santorum-has-an-atrocious-voting-record/ (CNN) - Ron Paul on Sunday re-launched his attack that Republican presidential rival Rick Santorum is a liberal, adding he doubts the former Pennsylvania senator could beat President Barack Obama in November if he wins the party's nomination. "His voting record is, I think from my viewpoint, an atrocious voting record - how liberal he's been in all the things he's voted for over the many years he was in the Senate and in the House," Paul said on CNN's "State of the Union." "This whole idea about that talking about the social issues and who is going to pay for birth control pills, I'm worried about undermining our civil liberties, the constant wars going on, the debt of $16 trillion," Paul told CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley. "They are worried about birth control pills and here he wants to control people's social lives." Asked if Santorum, who's now topping the polls in several key states with upcoming contests, could potentially beat Obama in the fall, Paul said he didn't "see how that's possible" and blasted the former senator as a candidate "pretending he's a conservative." End.. So is Ron Paul an Establishment guy ?? I don't think so..and he clearly reflects other Republicans with the economic leg of Republicans are thinking.. Others you say..besides the 77 plus congressmen endorsing Romney to the 3-4 for Santorum ? OK.. Trump.. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/02/20/trump-takes-hatchet-to-santorum/ "There's nothing - there's no gift, no Christmas gift, that could be given better than Rick Santorum to the Democrats," Trump said in a radio interview which aired in Michigan. Democrats, he continued, "are just salivating at that. And, you know, I don't think they believe it's going to happen. But boy, would they like it to happen because that would be an easy election." The perception of electability was a major factor in deciding to endorse Romney, Trump said, and Republicans would be foolish to put forward Santorum as their nominee because "he basically has no chance" of winning. Trump considered a presidential bid himself, then nixed the idea, and in January tossed his endorsement to Mitt Romney. If Santorum were to win the Republican nomination, Trump suggested Monday that he would consider a run. ( OH NO ! another White Knight ? ) End.. So driving around in a sweater vest pretending to be what your'e not in a red pickup you dont own...while claiming money is evil and Romney is out of touch..is a FRAUD on the American voter. Santorum has been attacking the economic stool and its main Republican since before IOWA on wealth..image..theology and MUD slinging..all while engaged in it himself. a guy claiming he doesn't have many homes across America..has at least 4 of his own.. A guy who says BUY AMERICAN owns an AUDI while driving a used pickup in IOWA. A guy who make nearly a million dollars a Year as a CONSULTANT in Washington DC after 20 years of being there is NOT an OUTSIDER. Just like Perry..MB ..Cain..and newt ..all these moral leg people failed.. Because they were UN VETTED..and un tested.. To simply say give them the nomination and forget the past is a joke..because Anybody but Obama isn't good enough. You have to beat Obama..first. and you have to get by the so called SOCIAL conservatives who slam and attack the fiscal leg of the stool as un patriotic and NON conservative...Maybe so..But not as a NON Republican conservative. Just a NON ultra far right religious conservative.
Unemployment goin' back up again... Gallup Finds Unemployment Climbing to Nine Percent in February February 20, 2012 Unemployment in the U.S. rose to nine percent in mid-February, up from 8.3 percent a month earlier, according to a new Gallup survey. The polling company said this suggests that it is premature to assume the economy will not feature prominently in the 2012 election season. See also: Sen.
