Older Bloc of Voters Favoring the GOP?

NOV 4, 2011 • BY JEFFREY H. ANDERSON

While some of the Republican presidential candidates continue to focus almost exclusively on the economy, Politico writes, “Medicare-aged seniors could have the biggest impact on the 2012 elections — and that’s a bad sign for the person who just overhauled their health care, according to the LA Times.”

In a striking act of political brazenness, President Obama and the Democratic Congress decided to fund Obamacare through a roughly even mixture of tax hikes and reallocations of funds slated for Medicare. In all, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that $1.125 trillion would be siphoned out of Medicare and other related federal health programs and spent on Obamacare during the overhaul’s real first decade (2014 to 2023). Obama’s signature legislation also established the grisly Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), which would be charged with limiting Medicare spending in the future. In his budget do-over speech, Obama proposed to grant the IBAP even more power to cut Medicare spending (thereby, in his words, “further improving Medicare”).

The Los Angeles Times writes, “The U.S. heads into the 2012 presidential contest with a large generation gap in its politics — a rarity in American elections and one that, at least for now, has boosted prospects for a Republican victory, new [Pew Research Center] survey data show….Researchers divided the respondents into four age groups: millennials (ages 18 to 29), Generation X (30 to 46), baby boom (47 to 65) and the silent generation (66 to 83).”

Bill Clinton thinks the country is “in a mess” — and some of the blame goes to President Obama and the Democrats.

In a new book, Clinton writes that Obama blundered when he failed to fight for a raise in the federal debt ceiling while Democrats still controlled both houses of Congress.

Clinton even praises Wall Street executives — and implies that Obama’s populist rhetoric and attacks on them are bad for the economy.

“Many of them supported me when I raised their taxes in 1993, because I didn’t attack them for their success,” Clinton writes about the execs.

He also faults Obama and Democrats for failing to articulate a strong campaign message and losing the 2010 midterm elections.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas (AP) — Republican presidential contender Herman Cain grew agitated with reporters after a debate with Newt Gingrich and is vowing to never answer questions about allegations of sexual harassment a decade ago.

Speaking after a one-on-one debate with rival Gingrich on Saturday, Cain cut off reporters who asked about allegations of sexual harassment and suggested journalists who wanted answers were behaving unethically.

Attention Bill O’Reilly: The Rest of the Story| The Post & Email

WHAT WILL HE SAY NOW?

by Butterdezillion, ©2011

Last week in an on-air debate with Donald Trump, Bill O’Reilly based his entire case for Obama’s supposed Hawaii birth on newspaper birth announcements.

With new information emerging now, O’Reilly may be interested to learn that the announcement images that were posted online cannot be from the microfilms we were told they were from. This article documents that the stories we were told were a well-orchestrated lie, which raises serious questions about the microfilms O’Reilly says he has found, since those lies back in 2008 would not have been necessary if the microfilms O’Reilly relies on today had actually been in the libraries in 2008.

Nesting or Red-Rooster-ing, It’s Memory Lane For Obama| The Post & Email

NATION OF ISLAM LEADER’S HOME WAS LOCATED IN OBAMA’S CHOSEN NEIGHBORHOOD

by Maertha Trowbridge, ©2011, blogging at Terrible Truth

(Nov. 5, 2011) — If you want to peek down Obama’s two fondest Memory Lanes, don’t look to Hawaii.

Look to Chicago, to his ‘nest’. And to Harlem, to his choice of Red Rooster Restaurant for his March 2011 DNC fundraiser.

Nesting or Red-Rooster-ing, Obama’s Memory Lanes are saturated with memories of Malcolm X.

To paraphrase a popular axiom, our nest is where our heart is. For Obama, since 2005, his nest is 5046 South Greenwood Avenue, Chicago, IL.

Though the structure is indeed stunning, 5046 South Greenwood means a lot more to Barack Obama than just grand architecture.

It’s the closest he could possibly come, to surrounding himself with memories of his beloved lost father, Malcolm X. How?

In two fundamental ways: architecture and environs.

Architecturally speaking, 5046 South Greenwood Avenue, Chicago IL is a grandiose version of the home Malcolm and his family occupied until the week before Malcolm’s death.

Barack Obama was a principled opponent of the Iraq War from its beginning. But when he became president in January 2009, he was handed a war that was won. The surge had succeeded. Al-Qaida in Iraq had been routed, driven to humiliating defeat by an Anbar Awakening of Sunnis fighting side-by-side with the infidel Americans. Even more remarkably, the Shiite militias had been taken down, with American backing, by the forces of Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. They crushed the Sadr militias from Basra to Sadr City.

Substantially more shocking, according to LexisNexis, the supposedly most trusted name in news only did 77 total stories on Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s ties to domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, convicted real estate developer Tony Rezko, and America-hating Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

This action is a game changer, and one that will force our corrupt and broken government to hear the message of the We the People.

It does not matter if you identify with Occupy Wall Street or with the Tea Party, the problem that all citizens of the country face is the same.

Let us use this opportunity to work together to purge our government of the corruption that Wall Street has used to infect Washington DC.

Let us return to our Constitutional Government in the truest sense, and let us make America great again. Let us create an America that We the People can be proud of!!

Low Salt Diet Increases Death Rate Over 500% by Dr. David Brownstein

The scientists reported that there was a direct, inverse linear correlation between the amount of salt ingested and the rate of cardiovascular deaths. What that means is that as salt intake went up, cardiovascular deaths went down. They stratified the subjects into three groups; a low, medium and high salt intake group. The death rates declined as the subjects ate more salt: from 4.1% in the lowest group to 1.9% in the medium group and 0.8% in the highest group.

For those who have read my book, Salt Your Way to Health, there really wasn’t anything new in this study. However, the media (at MSNBC.com) had large headlines proclaiming, “Eating less salt doesn’t cut heart risks.” However, MSNBC missed it here. The headline should have read, “Eating less salt increases your cardiovascular death rate over 5x as compared to those who eat a high salt diet.”

Coming Soon: Computer Chip Implants for Human Tracking by Mac Slavo

What that basically means is that in an emergency situation, such as a declaration of martial law, chipping stations will be immediately deployed. It will be for you and your family, and will ensure that you’ll receive emergency rations and other services in the event of a serious catastrophe.

Next, they’ll require all government healthcare recipients to be chipped in order to prevent rampant fraud. An off-shoot may be to implement nationwide chipping programs for those receiving any government benefits including social security, Medicaid, Medicare, and Supplemental Nutritional Assistance.

Prisoners and even detainees will be part of the first adopter groups. What better way to keep tabs on criminals and parolees?

Once the benefits have been visually and linguistically programmed via Walmart shopping counter promotional TV messages and the people have been desensitized to the privacy threat (kind of like cell phone cameras and microphones in every pant pocket or purse in the country), and success stories are touted by mainstream media, we’ll move to full implementation across the entire domestic population of the United States.

Crime Does Pay by Eric Peters

Making crime pay is literally true in America nowadays. Not just token work like making cons stamp out license plates or pick up trash along the Interstate. There’s not much money in that.

But there’s a fortune to be made when government “partners” with (cough) private business to tag team the public – as in the case of photo enforcement of traffic violations.

The profits can sail into the million annually in a major metro area such as Washington, D.C. (which has cameras everywhere) and the profits – yes, profits – are typically split evenly between the two.

Now, ordinarily, profits are a good thing. They are the result of having produced something of value that people not only want but but are willing to pay for. No one wants a traffic ticket – and few of us pay them willingly. We pay only because of the implied threat of violence that accompanies each such notice if we dare not to pay.

Hands Off Iran! by Ron Paul

Sanctions do not work. They are precursors to war and usually lead to war. They undermine our economy and our national security. They result in terrible, unnecessary suffering among the civilian population in the target countries and rarely even inconvenience their leaders. We must change our foreign policy from one of interventionism and confrontation to cooperation and diplomacy. This race to war against Iran is foolhardy and dangerous. As with the war on Iraq, the arguments for further aggression and war on Iran are based on manipulations and untruths. We need to learn our lesson and reject this legislation and the push for war.

» Have We Raised An Entire Generation Of Young Men That Do Not Know How To Be Men? Alex Jones’ Infowars: There’s a war on for your mind!

The American Dream

Saturday, November 5, 2011

Have we completely and totally failed an entire generation of young men? Have we failed to equip them with the tools that they need? Have we raised an entire generation of young men that do not know how to be men? Today, young adult men are nearly twice as likely to live with their parents as young adult women are, and young adult men are much less likely to go to college than young adult women are.

Now I want to make something perfectly clear before we proceed. The point of this article is not to slam women or drag them down. Not at all. Rather, the goal of this article is to point out that we have a real problem with our young men and that they are lagging way behind. Vast numbers of them don’t want to go to college, don’t want to pursue careers, don’t want to get married and don’t want to take on any serious responsibilities. Of course there are always exceptions. In fact, there are some young men out there that are absolutely outstanding. However, what this article is trying to say is that the overall trends all point to the fact that our system has raised up a crop of young men that are generally weak, directionless, wimpified and unwilling to take responsibility. This is not a good thing.

Will Newt Gingrich Win the Republican Nomination?

If slow and steady really does win the race, Newt Gingrich could well end up being the Republican nominee for president.

Thus far, this campaign season has been defined by flash-in-the-pan fortunes. Michele Bachmann was first out of the blocks and won the Iowa straw poll, but this seemed much like a house of straw when Texas governor Rick Perry entered the fray and became her Big Bad Wolf. But then he blew his own house down with a series of disastrous debate performances, allowing the Cain Train to pull into the station. This brings us to where we are now, with Herman Cain holding on to a slim lead over Mitt Romney — with a lot of voters still undecided. And should the bold businessman’s stock crash, where will a plurality of his support go?

The answer may surprise you. If polling is any indication, it’s not Tea Party caucus chairman Michele Bachmann or staunch states-rights standard bearer Rick Perry.

It’s Newt Gingrich.

Usurper Out!| The Post & Email

NOBAMA!

by Thinkwell

Will the American people demand to know who this man is before voting for him again?

(Nov. 5, 2011) — It is common knowledge that our putative President (whatever his real name is) is a criminal fraud and treasonous usurper. It is also common knowledge that almost no one in Congress is willing to declare that “the emperor has no clothes,” let alone do anything about it. Yes, a precious few (such as Darrell Issa) are making halfhearted attempts to maintain the rule of law, but most either are complicit in the all-out attack on our Constitution or are too cowardly to oppose it in any meaningful way.

Regardless of the reason, the fact that they all have been informed repeatedly at various times by many, many concerned citizens and yet have failed to act (with very few exceptions) makes almost all of them guilty of misprision of felony and the treason of Obama’s usurpation. We the People must take matters into our own hands and fire the entire lot of them.

Among the many inconsistencies with what’s playing out in the middle east is the question of what our President and Secretary of Defense would ask our own military to do if political protests, riots and violence erupted here in the US.
Both seem to suggest that the leaders of these middle eastern countries, as well as their law enforcement and military apparatuses, should stand aside.
Would the President of the United States, if faced with riots, molotov cocktails, and gun fire outside of the Capitol building or White House allow the military to “empower a revolution driven by unmet political and economic grievances” of the people?

Estimates suggest that Mubarak resigned amid as many as 2 million protesters in the streets. This is about 3% of Egypt’s population.

If the United States saw similar turnouts at Federal and State government buildings, would our leadership resign without a fight as well? Are we to believe that the same logic being used to compel dictators in the middle east to step down would be applied domestically if the people, in a public show of protest, deemed our government to be tyrannical and it’s leaders dictators? 

Moreover, does this mean that any such civil disobedience, riots, and gunfire would be ignored by military and law enforcement, who would be ordered to, as Mr. Gates suggested to Syria, stand on the sidelines?

We’d like to believe it is that easy, except we live in a little place we like to call reality.

Perry accused lawmakers of being too chummy with Wall Street at a town hall held yesterday in Johnston, Iowa. Asked what he would do to “to stop stupid CEOs of financial institutions from making bad decisions that cause them to fail,” Perry said there are already “plenty of regulations in place to do that.” What’s lacking, he claimed, is “a government that will actually institute the oversight.”

“I happen to think Wall Street and Washington, D.C., have been in bed together way too long,” he said. “That’s one of the problems that we have in this country, is that there are people that have too much money invested that end up in Washington, D.C. One of the reasons that the establishment really doesn’t like me, and really doesn’t like my tax plan, is because they know that I’m going to show up in Washington, D.C., with a sledgehammer and they’re not going to like it.”

Lawyer told ruling ‘national security’

Paul Joseph Watson

Prison Planet.com

Friday, November 4, 2011

Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura said he would now refer to the country of his birth as the “Fascist States of America” after a judge dismissed his case challenging airport pat downs, adding that his only recourse now would be to run for President.

Ventura Decries Fascist America After Judge Tosses TSA Case 3jesse110511

“Ventura made his comments outside the federal courthouse in St. Paul, where in January he sued to challenge the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) airport security procedures,” reports the Minneapolis Star Tribune. “The suit was thrown out because Congress set up the law so that all such challenges must be brought directly in Circuit Courts of Appeals, wrote U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson.”

“They said they don’t have jurisdiction,” Ventura told reporters. “Well my question is if the federal courts don’t have jurisdiction over a constitutional question then who the hell does?”

A further detail that Ventura revealed on the Alex Jones Show which has not been picked up by mainstream media reports is the fact that Ventura’s lawyer was told he could not even look at the ruling due to “national security” concerns.

Speaking to the Alex Jones Show today, Ventura spoke of his fury about how an American citizen was not even allowed to go to court to defend the Bill of Rights, adding that from now on he would refer to the U.S. as the “Fascist States of America” and would refuse to stand for the national anthem.

Vowing to “never fly commercial” again, Ventura gave a passionate press conference today, expressing his anger at TSA grope down procedures that force people like himself with metal implants to go through humiliating pat downs every time they pass through airport security.

A d v e r t i s e m e n t

“I want a trial by jury. They tell me I can have a jury decide my fate!” Ventura said, refering to the judge who dismissed the case as a “coward”. “If given a jury, I will win,” he added.

Ventura said the fact that he would have to go to the lengths of becoming President simply to have his day in court with the TSA was ridiculous. Asked by a reporter whether he was planning to run, Ventura responded, “I’m thinking about it.”

“I will not, in a free country, be treated like a criminal,” said Ventura, adding that he and his wife intended to apply for Mexican citizenship.

Santorum promises to ban abortion, discharge gay soldiers and abolish the 9th circuit

Santorum promises to ban abortion, discharge gay soldiers and abolish the 9th circuit

Daily Caller ^ | November 4, 2011

Posted on Saturday, November 05, 2011 2:36:00 PM by NYer

Republican presidential candidate former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum speaks during a Republican presidential debate Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2011, in Las Vegas.

Republican presidential candidate and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum laid out an ambitious social policy agenda on Friday during the first in a series of three policy speeches he will deliver over the coming weeks.

The program Santorum outlined, the Des Moines Register reports, would include reinstating “don’t ask, don’t tell,” pursuing a constitutional ban on abortion, enforcing the Defense of Marriage Act and abolishing the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which has traditionally been liberal-minded.

While other presidential candidates have mostly focused on economic policy, Santorum began the speech by focusing on social policy, describing the two as inextricably connected.

“The economy is inextricably linked to the moral fabric of this country,” Santorum proclaimed. “And we can’t have a real solution-based conversation about fixing the economic problems in this country without faith and family being a large part of that conversation.”

The family, he said, is a necessary building block for fiscal goals.

“You cannot have limited government if you have broken families because someone has to pick up the pieces, and the ones who pick up the pieces are the taxpayers,” Santorum said.

Santorum said that using the power of the executive branch, he would separate abortion and family planning and restore a ban on abortion referrals, as well as re-institute the “Mexico City Policy,” which prevents taxpayer funding or promotion of overseas abortions. (RELATED: Santorum aide: Cain should be more forthcoming on allegations)

He would also ban federal funding for embryonic stem cell research and would ask Congress to implement several laws to that effect. He additionally pledged to repeal the mandate included in Obama’s health care reform that provides contraceptive services, and promised to veto any bill providing funds to Planned Parenthood.

Santorum added that he would defend the Defense of Marriage Act from court challenges, ban same-sex marriages on military bases and demand that Congress restore the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.

Though his socially conservative message appeals to a significant number of Iowa caucus-goers, it hasn’t significantly aided his poll numbers. In a Des Moines Register poll of likely caucus participants released last weekend, Santorum was in sixth place with five percent support.
