• Palin to Hannity: ‘Enough is Enough With the Lies About Gingrich’

• ‘I Am Appalled’: Fiery Gingrich Avoids Answering Ex-Wife Question, Blasts CNN‘s King and ’Vicious, Negative’ Press

  January 20, 2012 at 12:08pm

  Looks like the Religious Right is desperately trying to convince themselves that it would be awesome to have an admitted serial adulterer as the standard bearer for “God’s candidate,” and to have his latest mistress/adultress in the White House as “First Lady.”

  Look, Christian Conservatives… you can support whoever you want to on political and economic issues. But the minute you elect this man for anything, Christian Conservatives have forever lost the moral authority to seek political power in order to enforce “family values.“ You have forever lost the moral authority to speak to the rest of the country about ”the sanctity of marriage.”

  Oh, you can continue preaching. But don’t be surprised when millions turn away in disgust. Please, please, if you campaign for this man, do not use your usual tactics of wrapping the Republican candidate in the Mantle of the Church. You will only bring shame on the Church.

  How far the “Moral Majority” has fallen.

• Personal Incomes Fall More During ‘Recovery’ Than During The Recession

  My Two Cents is right. Since when does our society value educating kids, or fixing roads, or keeping some idiot from dumping mercury into our water, or police our streets, or put out our fires, or keep airplanes safe, or…or…or…or… I’m sure that My Two Cents has contributed more to our society than any of them stooopid teachers and such – so we need to listen to him lecture us about Deeberj’s social value.

• Personal Incomes Fall More During ‘Recovery’ Than During The Recession

  Ahhhhh….sanity. I was wondering if anyone on this Board would realize the connection between this news and conservative “trickle down” economic theory. All the corporations and the CEOs and the stock market (7500 –> 12,000 in the last few years) have “recovered” just fine. Under conservative trickle down economic theory, all us middle class folks should just be swimming in cash right now!! Or….shudder…trickle down theory is a farce.

  Let’s see: stock market’s gone from 7500 to 12,000. CEOs are enjoying record bonuses. Corporations have record profits and are sitting on $2 Trillion in cash. Yet the average personal income has fallen. Yessir…that “trickle down” is working just fine.

• Gingrich‘s ’06 Memos Praised Romney’s Health Care Plan: ‘The Most Interesting Effort’

  December 27, 2011 at 2:31pm

  Newt has always been in favor of a Federal Mandate: “In order to make coverage more accessible, Congress must do more, including passing legislation to: establish a national health insurance marketplace by giving individuals the freedom to shop for insurance plans across state lines; provide low-income families with $1,000 in direct contributions to a health savings account, along with a $2,000 advanced tax credit to purchase an HSA-eligible high-deductible health plan; make premiums for these plans tax deductible; provide tax rebates to small businesses that contribute to their employees’ HSAs; extend and expand grant funding to high-risk pools across the country; and require anyone who earns more than $50,000 a year to purchase health insurance or post a bond.” – signed: Newt Gingrich

• GOP Rep. Has Testy Exchange With Prof: ‘I’ll Call You Anything I Want to Call You’

  In reply to draginass.

  You are right. These people are public servants – not little deities. When they talk to a citizen, any citizen, they need to show deference and respect. The People are the boss in this country, not the other way around. Doesn’t matter whether the congrersscritter has a D or R after their name, or whether they like the person “in the chair,” or not.

  American embassies are American soil. Every embassy we have is protected by the US Military.

• Rand Paul Talks to Glenn After CNN Ambush: I Don‘t Want ’Weimar Republic‘ in ’Our Country’

  August 3, 2011 at 12:19am

  In reply to briefer.

  Justmere: I support Obama in some things and not in others. My point is that the “inflation” talk seems WAY overblown in this article and in Rand Paul and Glenn’s discussion. The doomsday fear-based predictions are just silly. I’ve heard them a thousand times. Eventually, some day, I guess they’re going to come true (like stopped clocks and blind hogs and acorns). But the moderate food price inflation and gas price inflation we‘re seeing lately sure isn’t doomsday material and it ain’t the beginning of the Weimar Republic. In the 1970‘s and 80’s we saw 12 to 15 percent inflation rates!!! For much of GWB’s term, it hovered around 3 to 4%. For most of Obama‘s term it’s been about 1%, until lately it’s crept up to about 3%. But if you were to read this story, and read the comments, you’d think that we were having 500% inflation rates and tanks were rolling in the streets. So…that’s my point. Try to get a little historical perspective here, and quit operating out of fear.
