WHY GINGRICH WON – WHY ROMNEY LOST

"Gingrich's campaign was also faster and more nimble than the Romney battleship. 'There is a very strong contrast between the two campaign organizations,' said Gingrich adviser (and former George W. Bush administration official) Kevin Kellems.  'In military terms, it's speed versus mass.  Newt Gingrich's operation, and Newt Gingrich as a man, has a great deal of speed -- intellectual speed, decisiveness.  The Romney campaign is much more about money and size, having hired half of Washington D.C.  And sometimes, speed beats mass.'"(Double left click on image for full story)

"BAIN CAPITAL SAVED AMERICA"

"In the 1980's the resiliant U.S. economy saved itself from becoming Europe......After centuries of First World status—and all the perquisites of prestige and power that came with it—Europe is watching its economic status slide inexorably toward new national powers in the East and elsewhere. Because of the modernizing change that Bain and others like it forced on U.S. corporations in the 1980s, we are not fading. Not yet." (Double left click on image for full story)

"IMPRESSIVE SHOW BY ANTI-WAR REPUBLICANS: IS NEOCONSERVATISM NOW OUTSIDE REPUBLICAN MAINSTREAM?"

"You can describe both Huntsman and Obama as “realist internationalists” in the tradition of Republican President George H. W. Bush and Democratic President Bill Clinton. They have never pretended they that they were waving the anti-war flag; but still, they were critical of the neoconservative let’s-invade-the-world agenda."

PRESIDENTS WHO DON'T PRESIDE

Obama and European Leaders

THE VIEW FROM EUROPE: "The comfortable future lined up for capital doesn’t save it from verbal abuse. This is now the paradox that marks all pre-election periods. Last month Obama warned fellow citizens of threats to social mobility and democracy: 'Inequality distorts our democracy. It gives an outsize voice to the few who can afford high-priced lobbyists. … The wealthiest Americans are paying the lowest taxes in over half a century … Some billionaires have a tax rate as low as 1%. One per cent!' He also insisted that 'the free market has never been a free licence to take whatever you want from whoever you can” and that he considered it essential “to rebuild the middle class'”.

IMMIGRATION IMPASSE

"Sixteen years before Brewer, California Gov. Pete Wilson saved his political career by moving to the right on immigration. In 1994, same year Wilson was reelected, Golden State voters approved Proposition 187—which barred illegal immigrants from receiving most taxpayer funds—by a landslide. But just two years later, a Republican Congress rejected legislation that would have beefed up enforcement and slowed down immigration. Restrictionists were never again that close to passing far-reaching legislation at the federal level, even after the 9/11 terrorist attacks heightened concern about border security."

MAYAN CALENDAR FORECAST OF APOCOLYPSE MAY BE ON THE MARK

Mayan Calander Forecast

"Depression level unemployment and under-employment running to one-third of the labor force will detonate year-long social conflicts, intensifying into popular uprisings. Eventually a break-up of the European Union is almost inevitable. The euro as a currency of choice will be replaced by or return to national issues accompanied by devaluations and protectionism. Nationalism will be the order of the day. Banks in Germany , France and Switzerland will suffer huge losses on their loans to the South. Major bailouts will become necessary, polarizing German and French societies, between the tax-paying majorities and the bankers. Trade union militancy and rightwing pseudo ‘populism’ (neo-fascism) will intensify the class and national struggles

A depressed, fragmented and polarized Europe will be less likely to join in any Zionist inspired US-Israeli military adventure against Iran (or even Syria ). Crises ridden Europe will oppose Washington ’s confrontationalist approach to Russia and China."(Double left click on image for full story).

"Consider. Did Obama achieve a B+ average at Columbia? Who knows? (Who will ever know?) But even today’s inflated version of yesteryear’s gentleman Cs would not normally warrant admission to Harvard Law. And once there, did the Law Review editor publish at least one seminal article? Why not?" (Double left click on image for full story).

"GINGRICH CALLS PALESTINIANS 'INVENTED' PEOPLE"

In full compliance/anews.net

In a pathetic ploy to curry favor with the Israel Lobby, Republican front-runner Newt Gingrich on Friday rivaled the most fanatic of neocons. "Asked whether he considers himself a Zionist, he answered: 'I believe that the Jewish people have the right to a state ... Remember, there was no Palestine as a state. It was part of the Ottoman Empire" until the early 20th century...I think that we've had an invented Palestinian people who are in fact Arabs, and who were historically part of the Arab community.... they had a chance to go many places, and for a variety of political reasons we have sustained this war against Israel now since the 1940s, and it's tragic.'" If this dude  is elected, kiss any semblance of even-handedness in the  Middle East goodbye. (Double left-click on image for full story).

"THAT INFAMOUS DATE"

The Arizona 12/7/1941

"It was 70 years ago this morning that, as President Roosevelt put it the following day, 'The United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.'

Then, four days later, Adolf Hitler declared war on America.

Thus was a fundamentally isolationist nation, content until then to pretend that two wide oceans could protect it from a world at war, dragged roughly onto the international stage — where it remains, fitfully, to this day."(Double left click on image for full story)
