I listened to a fellow on the Bill Bennett show complain that if Newt was the nominee for the Republicans, he would not vote. As I hear Obama day after day, and know what this cat is about, I think it's pretty foolish to say that you'll let Obama have a second rip at messing up the country. If Newt is the nominee, I will support him, and I will vote for him. Here's a great article in his defense:

I Just had To Link It . . . .
A Photoshop from National Review: "If you build anything they will come . . . ."
We Need Cheap Energy
It is time for our government to buy into a better America. America needs cheap and affordable energy. We need to claim that energy and flood gasoline markets with it, bringing energy costs down. Our economy will roar again. Steps in doing this: #1 End Obama's Presidency by electing another candidate. #2 Get Keystone Oil Pipeline approved #3 Mandate Flex-Fuel vehicles (all others can be affordably converted). #4 Use our natural gas resources and drill for oil. Effect? Jobs will be produced by going after these resources and abundant supply of energy will lower costs for everyone so that we all have more buying power. IT MAKES SENSE!

Thoughts on the Iowa Caucuses
On Romney: People don't know who the real Mitt Romney is, but he's got to be better than Barack Obama.
On Santorum: Conservative on life issues, would lead internationally. What would he do for economics? Hopefully he'd "Drill, baby, drill."
On Gingrich: He's not done yet. Real Clear Politics indicates that he's still leading nationally.
On Ron Paul: He still has a great deal of support. Economically he'd do better than Barack Obama. What would he do with foreign policy? It sounds scary.
On Michele Bachmann: She would have done a lot of things right. Unfortunately, she is finished after Iowa. She joins Cain who has been gone a long time now.
On John Huntsman: Who?
In various ways, any of them would be imperfect candidates but FAR BETTER than Barack Obama.

"Dude, Where's My Spy Plane?"
This link is from a different blog, but I enjoy the obvious comment that the president should not be in the position of looking silly. But since he insisted on asking, he could have at least said, "Pretty Please? With Sugar on top?" http://conservativebyte.com/2011/12/silly-obama-politely-asks-iran-to-give-us-our-drone-back/

Are You with the "Occupiers"? Wanting to Vote to Raise Taxes More?
Do you hate those evil capitalists? Do you want more socialism? Wanting to prevent reductions in government spending? Wanting to soak the filthy rich pigs who make more than you? When you vote against reforming public spending, when you vote against tax reform in any form you are voting against yourself. Do you think it's just fine and dandy that public employees rake in outrageous salaries? Do you not care what your community is spending? It affects you. When you fail to vote in local elections, when you vote for candidates that are going to produce more spending, and against reform, it affects YOU.
You will be on the hook for more taxes. The "filthy rich", they will probably be fine, but you Mr. Populist, Mr. Middle Class will be on the hook for those unfunded government employee pensions. Your state and local taxes will go up. Your property taxes will go up. The costs of buying goods in your community will go up. It will be more expensive to live. You see, you may call lower taxes for everyone "trickle-down" economics, which sounds so terrible doesn't it, but what you may not realize is that higher taxation on the rich results in higher taxes for EVERYONE.
The problem is NOT that we NEED MORE REVENUE-which in government-speak always means they're going to TAKE, that is, CONFISCATE more of your money in taxes-the problem is that they're spending too ****-much money. When government DEMAGOGUES pit "poor" and "middle" and "rich" people against one another, they are stacking the deck against WE the PEOPLE. When they succeed in getting your vote they are busy high-fiving each other over how they HOODWINKED you. IT IS GOVERNMENT THAT IS THE PROBLEM. WE'VE GOT TOO MUCH OF IT! It is time that WE the PEOPLE get a CLUE and tell them to STOP the **** GOVERNMENT SPENDING! There are not enough TAXES (revenues) in the world to pay for their STUPID ideas and their STUPID government programs, and there are a LOT of STUPID government programs.
What we need is for GOVERNMENT TO CUT SPENDING EVERYWHERE. They are WASTING what they get. They need to live within their means as a government. WE NEED many LESS GOVERNMENT employees, and more PRIVATE SECTOR employees. It also means no more "FREEBIES" for everyone. "FREEBIES" from the government are not freebies. You will pay for them in one form or another. More government spending always leads to TRICKLE DOWN TAXES. Taxes that hit everyone.
Here's an excellent article on how the pensions and obligations to public employees affect you:

In 2012 There May Be a Serious Backlash Against Liberal Hypocrisy
The Obama administration is sinking in its own incompetence, fecklessness, and hypocrisy. By the time 2012 elections come around, all the media fulminations of Republican wrongdoings perceived or real will pale in comparison to what the Obama administration has become-a caricature of itself, denouncing all such wrongdoings while expecting the public to ignore its own. In 2012 Obama will be the boy that cried, "wolf" and no one will particularly care. They will vote against him because ANYTHING a tad more responsible is better than this. Bush was bad? The sanctimonious Barack is no doubt, worse. Think I'm wrong?
