| Posted 1/25/2012 2:34 AM (GMT -6) | | From a Wall Street Journal article...
"Mr. Adelson has told several friends and associates that he sees President Barack Obama as unfriendly to Israel, and has made it a personal mission to defeat him. In December, Mr. Adelson was quoted in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz saying he agreed with Mr. Gingrich's comment that the Palestinians are an "invented" people."
"He says very clearly this is one of the most important election cycles ever" and plans to be involved in a variety of races he sees as "critical across the country."
Damn.
Poster John Wilcox said it PERFECTLY...
Las Vegas casino king and multibillionaire Sheldon Adelson and his wife have given Newt Gingrich $10 million which is less than .05% of their estimated $21.5 billion worth. Looks like they intend to buy Newt Gingrich the United States presidency so he can serve Bibi Netanyahu and Israel. That is, sacrifice way more American lives and money on Israel's Mideast wars that are wholly against the interests of America and all humanity. Limiting political donations is limiting free speech according to the Supreme Court. So what are our influence, our votes, worth vs. Sheldon Adelson's? Way less than three fifths; actually close to nothing at all. Whatever has become of our American Democracy?

| Posted 1/25/2012 5:56 PM (GMT -6) | | Now, if I were a Republican? Like seriously? I would tell Mitch Daniels to get his behind in gear and get in the race. Now.
He could really contend if he started right now. Daniels really impressed some people with his response to the SOTU speech by the President.
He could ride that easy. How many money bombs do you think would fill up for him to GET AWAY from Mitt and Newt? and how QUICKLY? LOL!
And he could KILL Newt with this information. Do you think the Republican Party would like to be known for being bought out like this by some casino owner while sacrificing our deepest of principles farther than we already have...through own of our OWN? Hell, no. American government is NOT the tool of a LITERAL SOME-ONE for their own personal ambitions, ethno-religiously motivated or otherwise. As a Republican and just a plain AMERICAN, I would not put up with that! For Heaven's sake, it's ALREADY the case that Fidel Castro has said "The selection of a Republican candidate for the presidency of this globalized and expansive empire is – and I mean this seriously – the greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance that has ever been"...and AMERICANS are AGREEING with him. Do you know you embarassing this would be for me as a stauch GOP-er? It's time to right the ship...right now!
Daniels could ride this sentiment all the way to the Republican nomination...
If he started now.
Anyone disagree?

| Posted 1/26/2012 2:41 AM (GMT -6) | | Let me put in slightly more "dire" terms...
Mitch Daniels is the only TRULY ELECTABLE Republican choice. The GOP could actually win some RESPECT back by choosing Daniels, even if the Republicans lost!
Mrs. Daniels may just be called for sacrifice her husband for the call of his Party and His Country. Seriously. Self-sacrifice for the greater good.
Sheeesh. I'm a AFRICAN-AMERICAN Democrat...and I want him to do it. It would make for a much more HELPFUL election. Obama needs to be challenged, not to just have an election given to him effectively by DEFAULT. Mitch would take it out of default mode and make it an more actual fight. That would be better for the candidates, the parties, the populace...and the world perception of our American process. World leaders like Fidel would have MORE RESPECT for the process and the Republican party for righting itself so quickly and forcefully. And trust me, that IS important. Tell me I'm lyin'...
Just think about it. Hard.

| Posted 1/26/2012 2:56 AM (GMT -6) | | More dire terms:
If Newt Gingrich is allowed to be the Republican nominee (Mitt, the Consummate Politician, is done for, in my view), People of Color (African-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Latinos, Asian-Americans, Native Americans, etc.) would have absolutely no reason to feel totally safe in their own home country. If a UNIVERSALLY KNOWN race-baiter and terribly consistent misinterpreter of ethnic cultures (AT BEST) is allowed to have the nomination, that will signal to POC that the GOP cares more about removing Obama from office than they care about the ideals of America OR it's people. Because, when all is said and done, they were willing to allow arguably the most POWERFUL position in the world to a person that they ALREADY had to sit down because of his self-other destructive tendencies--giving power to a demagogue--all to get a Black man out of the White House. Moreover Persons of Color would see that MONEY, NOT the POLIS, is what it's all about for the Republican Party. The Republican Party will have the IRREMOVABLE stains of Racism and Demogoguery.
No talk of economic "ends-justifies-the-means" will ever cut it.
No Person of Color will have any reason to trust the Republican Party (and the American politcal process) ever again.
Again...tell me I'm lyin'...

| Posted 1/26/2012 9:48 AM (GMT -6) | | 1) Glad to be wrong on that one. Looks like social media + all his self-destructive baggage has already done the damage. GLAD to be wrong there.
2) Mitt Romney nets $54,000 a day...and is stand-less. He's a dead duck in the General Election...and everyone knows that. What young person of color struggling with bills is gonna vote for THAT? 3) How do you think those figures would change if Mitch Daniels went on record entering the race? Hmm?

| Posted 1/27/2012 11:24 AM (GMT -6) | | Can you imagine if we HAD to evaluate all candidates based upon coherence with the following criteria?
1) When you gain from your work, don't just think about yourself. Think of the poor and the "other".
2) Don't steal.
3) Don't operate by false pretenses or motives.
4) Don't lie to each other.
5) Don't oppress or rob your neighbor.
6) Don't mistreat the physically (or mentally) challenged.
7) Don't promote injustice or partiality. Judge righteously.
8) Don't slander others.
9) Don’t threaten the life of your neighbors.
10) Don't hate your brother (or sister) "in your heart."
11) Don't take vengeance for yourself.
12) Don't hold a grudge against your neighbor.
We'd have hardly anyone running in any party at all.
How "God-less" our whole process and society has become.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon us all.

18 to 29 52% +3
30 to 49 44% +2
50 to 64 44% +3
65+40% -
White 37% +2
Nonwhite 68% +2
Black 85%
Hispanic 55% +3
Democrat 81% +2
Independent 41% +2
Republican 11%
--------------------------------
I did something on this page...
I looked through the past. It seems to indicate that it's HISTORICALLY been this way for Obama, least for a bit. Hmm...
Between Apr 2011 and Now...
White: between 32% and 42%
Non-White: between 57% and 71%
Black: between 83% and 91%
Hispanic: 44% and 59%
Do you see it?
And when did White votes get the highest? RIGHT AFTER killing Osama bin Laden.
So how was it in 2010?
Do you see it?
The racism of this country is about to boil over if Obama get assassinated.
I'm tellin' ya...

| Posted 2/3/2012 3:14 PM (GMT -6) | | I'll put it this way. IF it were to happen...IF...
Can you imagine the anger and despair over the event in a gun-toting 13 year old gangbanging Black youth in North Minneapolis or the University area in St Paul possibly spilling over into violence? I can. Heck, I know of people around my house that pack heavy heat already! And how do you think they are going to respond well to any type of White authority figures ala law enforcement officers? What do you think?
What if someone starts shooting? God forbid, what if the COPS start shooting first? (It does happen, you know)
Protect ya neck.

| Posted 2/5/2012 10:50 AM (GMT -6) | | | On point, I'd say.
Why the hell is anyone trying to vote for Romney? To put him at arguably the most powerful position in the world?
What IS this place I call my country????  (ltkfc)
I am tired of this world, Jesus.
---------------
Rachel was spot on again with this segment. Romney's biggest problem is when he's off script he tends to tell us what he really feels and thinks about people in general. His flip/flop clips are priceless. He can't take a position and just stick with it. Makes him come across as a very weak and indecisive candidiate. I can't wait for the debates with President Obama :)
------------
They are NOT "priceless". It's scary. We have a whole lot of people (almost half) that want Obama out of office so bad, that we are WILLING to put a person like Romney in the White House in THESE times to face other world leaders as OUR leader? (Romney dealing with Ahmadinejad or Castro...really?) There are still elements of the Republican party that STILL wait for someone ELSE to come into the race...at THIS point. But, if push comes to shove, they will take Romney, with all the flaws we are CLEARLY seeing, as being the next President (and leader of the Free World, supposedly)...rather than having a second term of Obama, who is clearly being seen by a significant amount of people as helping fix some of the problems that even the opposition will admit that he didn't create.
Now ask yourself, how many people do YOU know that's gonna vote for Romney holding their nose if they have to? Hmm?
Are we freaking insane?
