This video is a remarkable demonstration of why I will NOT vote for Mitt Romney. He is just as fabricated as Barack Obama.
The video begs the question whether Romney's campaign is employing illegal aliens to hold his signs as some of these day labor companies as described by the "rent a supporter" - are well known for employing illegals in towns throughout Florida. As a Florida resident, I can attest to that.
If Romney's campaign is hiring illegals, I guess we will find out during the general election as another means of exposing his hypocrisy. It would be easy to determine; just find out which day labor company this "supporter" was hired by and start asking questions.
It wouldn't be all that surprising if the Romney campaign got away with it because the conservative candidates have been running on diminutive budgets the past year, just as it took all the way until Super Tuesday to find a couple OP-Ed columns showing Romney had been standing on that stage - getting away with lying, during every last debate - about his claim of NOT supporting the mandate at the federal level. That makes it QUITE conceivable that Romney's campaign could be paying illegal aliens to campaign outside the polling stations - just like he employed them to whack his weeds and mow his lawns all those years.
We know Obama be pointing out in the debates that he took Romney’s advice on the federal mandate. We know they will be ridiculing him for having to pay thousands of fake supporters. But it could be potentially much worse if they start investigating who these rental Romney supporters actually are. This campaign has all the potential for disaster.
This video (below) is something that we SHOULD be seeing on Fox News, kind of Breitbart-esque. It is ground breaking, or at least would be if Fox News was not complicit. It is also a little known FACT that Romney did the same thing in 2008 where he paid fake supporters in Iowa and New Hampshire to stand around in the cold holding Romney signs.
We are being bamboozled. I guess it is up - US –and the actual conservative candidates to report this because Murdoch’s unregistered Romney Superpacs do not have the integrity to do the job.
We are now at the stage, the 4th quarter, where many conservatives become weary and start to give up. That is what they want; it is what they EXPECT, just like in 2008. They have these trivial “endorsements” lined up throughout the campaign like today’s Rubio endorsement. They are sequenced. They are choreographed. They are scheduled long in advance. The Rubio, Ryan and Bush endorsements have likely been on the calender from day one. They are designed to cause disillusionment, to make you think it is time to get in line and drink the poison from their trough with the rest of them.
This video is not the exception for Romney, it is the rule and I guarantee this tactic, along with his ignominious sleaze bomb commercials are being employed in Wisconsin. These men who created this video did a great service and this video MUST be spread throughout Facebook and other Internet channels.
It is up to us to make up for the media malpractice. It is time to get off of our rear ends, step it up and stop this snake oil salesman from hijacking this nomination. He must not get to 1144. Show America how pathetic and unacceptable this candidate really is. Share this link. America is at stake.

The Math is Insurmountable but Newt's Role is IMPORTANT
To summarize what I verbalize in this video:
I support Santorum.
The media is putting out red herrings about Santorum indicating he would accept a VP slot if Romney won the nomination.
Santorum supporters support him for PRESIDENT – not Vice-President.
A Romney/Santorum ticket would fail worse than the McCain/Palin ticket did.
We need a brokered convention.
Newt is a safeguard. If Newt dropped out of this race, a deal could be cut for the VP slot that could end this race and allow Romney to more easily procure the needed 1144 delegates to secure the nomination.
Conclusion: Support Rick Santorum with your VOTE because he’s the only candidate who can still mathematically win though having odds stacked against him.
Support Newt Gingrich with your MONEY to keep him in this race because it would prevent any compromise with Romney – given that if Santorum dropped out,conservative votes would then go to Newt because it would continue to prevent Romney from reaching the magic number.

"Mandate Day" is another Clear Test of Fox Media Malpractice
Today is an important test of Fox News and “sister companies” like The Wall Street Journal because this is “individual mandate day.” The Supreme Court has been hearing arguments on that isolated issue upon which the entire multi-state lawsuit rests. THEREFORE, Fox News will be focusing mainly on this story (between Trayvon Martin reports).
On Fox and Friends this morning the individual mandate was the main topic as expected. There has not been a single mention of the fact that Mitt Romney successfully ADVISED Barack Obama to adopt the individual mandate - but they did manage to slip in another distortion about Santorum’s comment on the need to nominate a candidate who presents a clear contrast to Obama.
For the entire campaign season Mitt Romney and his apologists at Fox News have been inculcating us with the specious argument that Romneycare was an exercise in Federalism because the states are the “laboratory of democracy”. Romney claimed repeatedly, “I would NEVER support the individual mandate at the Federal level”. However, it was revealed that Romney wrote a series of Op-Ed columns before OBAMACARE was passed into law - in which Mitt Romney ADVISED Barack Obama to adopt the individual mandate.
THAT betrayed a clear-cut, outright series of lies by Romney committed throughout the past year. Mitt Romney has an integrity problem and he can’t remember what positions he took two years ago. That is why he got caught. The more you lie, the more you have to make new lies to cover up old lies – and as the years pass, you forget what lies you told. It’s a snare that always catches up with you.
The entire point of WHY Romeny’s diversified positions on the federal mandate should naturally be discussed on the day the Supreme Court is hearing arguments on that specific component is self evident. The issue is not whether Fox allows guests to occasionally say that “Romneycare was the model for Obamacare". Romney circumvents that with his justifications about Federalism and State’s supposed rights to promulgate socialist medicine (which probably violates their own state constitutions but that's another column).
The entire point is that Fox News OMMITTED the material fact that would have –ended- the Romney campaign if they had taken their fiduciary duties with a morsel of respect. That is extremely relevant on the day that the entire world is watching our Supreme Court consider the constitutionality of the individual mandate component of Obamacare. If this mandate should be maintained as constitutional by the Supreme Court – it will be the central issue of the 2012 campaign.
A familiar example you will see on Fox of what they will allow is what Michelle Bachman said this morning to Martha MacCallum. Martha asked Michelle if she sees a vulnerability with Mitt Romney's relationship to Obamacare if he is the nominee. I was disappointed that Bachman, in her answer focused on the fact that Mitt Romney campaigns on a promise of repealing Obamacare and if elected he would “HAVE TO REPEAL OBAMACARE”.
Once again, if Fox had widely reported the fact that Romney advised Obama to adopt the mandate and then lied about it - we wouldn't need to sit back and hope that Michelle Bachman answers the question appropriately instead of trying to be a "team player". That's where the negligence and malpractice does the damage. Reporters REPORT. Fox News Reporters, DID NOT report.
Romney's claim that he would immediately repeal Obamacare is NOT the relevant factor and misses the point that Romney has to WIN the general elections first. What IS the relevant factor is that Mitt Romney has absolutely no credibility to stand before the nation in a debate to attack Barack Obama on his vulnerability – the individual mandate.
So Romney can say all he wants that he "would appeal Obamacare" if elected but the problem lies in the fact that he will have to AVOID talking about the mandate, our strongest issue, so as to avoid being laughed off the stage when Obama asks Romney WHY he advised him in those OP-Ed pieces – to embrace the individual mandate at the FEDERAL LEVEL.
I know it’s hard for some to think these things through. It’s easier to ignore the obvious and submit to the talking points “Romney was a businessman, plus he saved the Olympics” – but other than a Santorum victory that is a worthwhile long shot, the best thing we can have is a brokered convention.
If not Santorum, we need to find an acceptable candidate who isn’t Mitt Romney. Nominating a Wall Street CEO at a time of unprecedented enmity for Wall Street alone is preposterous – but one who inoculates our enemy (Barack Obama) from the greatest violations of our citizenry since George III is an inexcusable catastrophe.
It NEVER would have been possible without the complicity of the Murdoch media conglomerate including Fox News which cleverly twisted, shaped and omitted facts from their reports that would have rightfully ended the Romney campaign BEFORE Super Tuesday.The fact is that most people have no idea of the pathological lying nature of Mitt Romney and no idea about his lie regarding this mandate.
If Fox News had simply done their job and fulfilled their obligation to make certain most voters were aware of this crucial vulnerability – Romney would be out of this race right now.
The ONLY alternative to malpractice would be negligence. Whichever the excuse might be is inexcusable.
As my favorite founding father Hamilton once said (in regard to the Jay treaty): “If we suppose them to be sincere, we must often pity their ignorance, if insincere, we must abhor the spirit of deception that it betrays.”

Another Goldman swindler exposed & How might Solomon advise the GOP on Romney?
A congressional committee is investigating how $1.6 billion in customer funds went missing from bankrupt brokerage MF Global said Friday that it’s found evidence that then-CEO Jon Corzine directed a senior executive to use $200 million of clients’ money.”
I thought Democrats were not subject to financial and accounting laws because they created the laws for us. All Corzine needs to do is go before the judge and jury, then tell them they are stupid and he knows better. He was just protecting these poor shareholders from themselves.
What a bunch of ingrates!
I'm REALLY looking forward to Stacy Keach telling the story on CNBC's AMERICAN GREED.
This really made me reflect on the hypocrisy of these degenerates. Just a few years ago he himself (a former Goldman billionaire) was grilling hardworking Americans for simply wanting to keep the money we earned. To no surprise, he’s just another swindler like Madoff, Charlie Rangel, Chris Dodd & Barney Frank.
Speaking of left wing double-dealers, this caused me to further ponder the insanity of having Mitt Romney stand before America to figuratively “prosecute” Barack Obama for the treason Obama has perpetrated on America – while knowing Romney has advocated every aspect of Obamacare and even ADVISED Obama to implement the odious individual mandate.
Well, again, to be fair, Romney has offered one last distinction between Romneycare and Obamacare – which is that despite being identical in essence, Romneycare was 70 pages and Obamacare was several hundred pages. But we still have not gotten Romney to clarify what size font he used in his bill and whether he single or double spaced.
So the jury is still out on that “number of pages” issue. But I think it is pretty clear that the prudence of nominating Romney to be the one to stand before the nation and “prosecute” Obama is about as sensible as it would be to appoint John Corzine to prosecute Bernie Madoff. If we do not fix this with a brokered convention then we are about to witness unprecedented folly in American history.
Every time I think about it I picture kids in a history class studying the time when a tyrant was given another 4 years to destroy America because a minority of the opposing party allowed 35% to nominate a Wall Street CEO during an unprecedented period of national enmity toward Wall Street and who invented the prototype for Obamacare.
The story that comes to mind in this situation is the story of King Solomon recounted in 1Kings 3:16-28. “Two young women who lived in the same house and who both had an infant son came to Solomon for a judgment. One of the women claimed that the other, after accidentally smothering her own son while sleeping, had exchanged the two children to make it appear that the living child was hers. The other woman denied this and so both women claimed to be the mother of the living son and said that the dead boy belonged to the other.
After some deliberation, King Solomon called for a sword to be brought before him. He declared that there is only one fair solution: the live son must be split in two, each woman receiving half of the child. Upon hearing this terrible verdict, the boy's true mother cried out, "Please, My Lord, give her the live child—do not kill him!" However, the liar, in her bitter jealousy, exclaimed, "It shall be neither mine nor yours—divide it!" Solomon instantly gave the live baby to the real mother, realizing that the true mother's instincts were to protect her child, while the liar revealed that she did not truly love the child. The reputation of the king greatly increased when all the people of Israel heard of this wise judgment.”
Romney should –drop out of the race for the good of the country. If he TRULY is a patriot who loves his country he should surrender his life-long ambition. Despite the so-called "large" victory in Illinois, except for perhaps the People’s Republic of Massachusetts, he has not won a majority of a state’s vote (unlike Newt and Rick Santorum).
I know he has always wanted to be President and he has been running for President ever since he retired from Bain – but the fact is that he is the worst possible candidate we could have at this time. Out of 300 MILLION Americans, there is only ONE… ONE… Republican (not just one Governor)… but only ONE Republican who successfully inoculates Obama -Willard that one person is Willard Mitt Romney.
This looks like a last test from God as to who will consciously allow this nation to be split in half. Mitt Romney will lose – and so goes the union.

What Democrats REALLY think of Mitt Romney (The Joke's on Us)
I just stumbled upon an accurate column on the Democrat’s ACTUAL view upon a Romney nomination titled “Democrats Have No Fear Of Romney”
It provides a rare glimpse behind the scenes of the Obama campaign’s TRUE view of the prospects of a Mitt Romney nomination. It demonstrates that they understand that Mitt Romney cannot beat Barack Obama and only –events- can defeat him if Romney is the nominee. In essence, Romney –is- the “bag of rocks” candidate because he brings absolutely nothing to the election that could legitimately be considered as marketable in the most anti-Wall Street climate in American history. If his Investment banking CEO experience is a plus, then we should have nominated Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein who is expected to retire very soon.
So he totally inoculates Obama from having to answer about Obamacare. He’s a CEO from what is now the most despised industry in America. So what is left? “Elect me because I saved the Olympics!” The specifics of what Romney did in Utah and how he did it are currently a mystery to most, so when details of that come out it will probably lead to more embarrassment.
This column is a beauty, filled with gems like this:
“Several Obama campaign staffers described Chicago as more worried that Romney’s nomination might de-energize the base and depress donations because the grassroots think Obama will have reelection in the bag.”
Oh! So that’s Romney’s “strategery”. Romney is playing possum. He has brilliantly cultivated a decade of economically destructive policies in Massachusetts like his socialist medical plan and “Wheels for Welfare” and worked diligently to establish a reputation of having no fixed principles – just so that Democrats would UNDERESTIMATE him - when he would finally run for President in 2012.
Brilliant! This rascal Romney would seem prescient if it were not for the fact that this strategy has already failed us for the past 24 years since President Reagan left office.
The funny thing is that the attitudes of Democrats seem to contradict the absurd contentions of Romney infatuated shills like Coulter, Morris & Rabinowitz who have been telling us for this entire Winter that “Romney is the candidate that Obama fears most”. But you don’t have to be a sleuth to find the Newsbank collection of tens of thousands of quotes and transcripts of Democrats like David Axelrod – publicly hoping for Mitt Romney to be our nominee.
They –publicly- hoped for Romney up until about three months ago when the GOP primaries actually began. Once the “season” began, we witnessed their “flip-flopping” to the new narrative which we all well know. Romney shills through the Newscorp machine have adeptly read the talking points to the point where they reverberate in our minds without ceasing.

An Obstinate Romney Nomination is an Obama Re-election
Arlen Williams of http://www.GulagBound.com linked to an interesting story at The Daily Caller titled:
"Lord Monckton: ‘I’m no birther,’ but Obama birthcertificate ‘plainly a forgery’
I love to hear Lord Monckton speak. It’s amazing to see how the blinders are on a nation of deceived people. I continue saying it is spiritual and REALLY believe that the extraordinary degree of willful blindness can only be explained in that manner.
How else can you explain the fact that Obama is 100% inoculated by this issue and many others no matter what the truth is.
Like Monckton, I do not spend much time on this because if we had a signed and notarized statement or a video of Obama stating that he was born in Kenya – they would not reconcile themselves with the truth. Nothing would be done either way, which is why the union is about to fall apart very soon.
The same willful blindness is true of Mitt Romney supporters. Christians are literally ridiculed and disdained by many who have capitulated their intelligence and checked all logic at the Romney door – because we dare to make this election about the “social issues”.
In regard to this story about the top Etch a sketch Romney adviser, Eric Fehrnstrom, who said his campaign will "hit a reset button" to take on Obama in the fall if Romney wins the GOP nomination:
It is quite outlandish for this ignoble rascal Romney – of all people – to come out with his wife crying about Newt and Rick using that information AGAINST him. It demonstrates what this suit will be doing in November.
Why WOULDN’T they bring this to our attention?
This is one of the extremely rare instances of the Romney campaign being truthful. This accidental moment of candor is WHY we have been fighting so tenaciously.
What Fehrnstrom said was what any un-infatuated human being rightly concluded after conducting proper due diligence that should be a requisite to voting. You cannot actually look at Romney’s career in politics without observing that his history is one of changing positions according the expedience of the moment.
Mitt Romney is the personification of every mistake that self-serving, legacy craving politicians have for decades perpetuated in order to bring us under the state of bankruptcy and tyranny we now face.
The more I see names of yesteryear who I would like to forget (and we all NEED to forget) telling us we need to shut up and get behind the inevitable loser – the more resolved I am about the fact that McCain was my last “nose plug” candidate.
They are actually making matters worse because many REFUSE to turn their backs on their God given intelligence by supporting this individual. He is only “inevitable” because they MADE him inevitable by refusing to cease their slanderous ads, attacking the character of gentlemen who far exceed anything Romney has ever demonstrated in character or deed.
I have often said that if Romney was conducting himself in this way and this happened to be the early 19th century, he would be forced to meet Newt on the “field of honor”. Who would win such a dual is irrelevant to the fact that Romney greatly resembles Aaron Burr whom his political adversary Hamilton once said of him that he is “destitute of any fixed principles”.
He is only “inevitable” because of the ongoing journalistic malpractice that has been and still continues to be perpetrated by Fox News as they sat on the monumental lie committed by Romney in his repeated statement about “never having supported an individual mandate at the federal level”.
Fox destroyed the candidacy of Mike Huckabee in 2008 by running the talking points and constant replaying of a COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTEXT excerpt by Governor Huckabee articulating a litany of tax increases he would “support”. They bludgeoned Huckabee’s organic rise in virtually all of the major primaries after winning Iowa.
They left out the fact that this was a 30 second clip out of an evening long, final session with an Arkansas state legislature that was over 80% Democrat who controlled the purse strings.
There was NO WAY whatsoever they were going to CUT taxes (which was not in his power to do). Yet the state constitution DEMANDED by law that they have a balanced budget.
The fact that this state legislature was going to raise taxes was an axiom, so it was incumbent upon the Governor to enumerate which taxes he would GO ALONG WITH.
The fact that Huckabee was even able to be Governor was in itself a rarity in this Democrat stronghold where he succeeded Bill Clinton as Governor.
YET, FOX NEWS played the FRAUD. After DRUDGE released the aforementioned video - Fox News went into campaign gear and destroyed a remarkable momentum that was inconceivable as Huckabee rode the polls from the mere 2% he had earlier garnered - to front runner.
His rise was all grass roots and he was winning in the polls in Michigan, South Carolina and even Florida – UNTIL the Fox malpractice campaign.
It was a campaign IDENTICAL to that which we have seen them wage against Newt and then Rick Santorum.
It started out with Fox distorting that 30 second clip from that Arkansas session and then followed with Fox perpetuating the persecution of Huckabee for a commercial in which a book shelf behind him they maintained was really "a cross”.
Not so coincidentally, Fox began with non-stop Romney promoting until Huckabee won Iowa and then transitioned into the non-stop “McCain is inevitable” narrative after McCain became their “comeback kid” because he won more liberals in Massachusetts than did Romney.
It is a breach of fiduciary responsibility as the “freedom of the press” has a vital role in the efficacy of our republic.
I cannot in good conscience support their candidate who could win the nomination by such disreputable and fraudulent means. I will not enable them by reinforcing their unscrupulous methods.
One of my favorite quotes was by the Roman orator Cato who once said something that profoundly summarizes the reasoning of those who assert that Rick, Newt and ALL OF US need to surrender to the ongoing chicanery of Mitt Romney:
"There must certainly be a vast Fund of Stupidity in Human Nature, else Men would not be caught as they are, a thousand times over, by the same Snare, and while they yet remember their past Misfortunes, go on to court and encourage the Causes to which they were owing, and which will again produce them."
Hearing Jeb Bush who recently “came out” suggesting that we debase ourselves in this way has prompted me to go and make a donation to the Santorum campaign. Keep it up. I do not care what the hell your last name is - you cannot and will not beat us into submission – any longer.
24 years of this fruitless compromise has been enough for me. YOU are the people who elected Barack Obama by manufacturing a candidate who couldn’t win in 2008 and YOU are the fools who are re-electing Barack Obama in 2012 in your obstinate pushing of a dishonorable individual who has a deplorable record of liberalism and is anything but a gentleman.
"Lord Monckton: ‘I’m no birther,’ but Obama birthcertificate ‘plainly a forgery’
I love to hear Lord Monckton speak. It’s amazing to see how the blinders are on a nation of deceived people. I continue saying it is spiritual and REALLY believe that the extraordinary degree of willful blindness can only be explained in that manner.
How else can you explain the fact that Obama is 100% inoculated by this issue and many others no matter what the truth is.
Like Monckton, I do not spend much time on this because if we had a signed and notarized statement or a video of Obama stating that he was born in Kenya – they would not reconcile themselves with the truth. Nothing would be done either way, which is why the union is about to fall apart very soon.
The same willful blindness is true of Mitt Romney supporters. Christians are literally ridiculed and disdained by many who have capitulated their intelligence and checked all logic at the Romney door – because we dare to make this election about the “social issues”.
In regard to this story about the top Etch a sketch Romney adviser, Eric Fehrnstrom, who said his campaign will "hit a reset button" to take on Obama in the fall if Romney wins the GOP nomination:
It is quite outlandish for this ignoble rascal Romney – of all people – to come out with his wife crying about Newt and Rick using that information AGAINST him. It demonstrates what this suit will be doing in November.
Why WOULDN’T they bring this to our attention?
This is one of the extremely rare instances of the Romney campaign being truthful. This accidental moment of candor is WHY we have been fighting so tenaciously.
What Fehrnstrom said was what any un-infatuated human being rightly concluded after conducting proper due diligence that should be a requisite to voting. You cannot actually look at Romney’s career in politics without observing that his history is one of changing positions according the expedience of the moment.
Mitt Romney is the personification of every mistake that self-serving, legacy craving politicians have for decades perpetuated in order to bring us under the state of bankruptcy and tyranny we now face.
The more I see names of yesteryear who I would like to forget (and we all NEED to forget) telling us we need to shut up and get behind the inevitable loser – the more resolved I am about the fact that McCain was my last “nose plug” candidate.
They are actually making matters worse because many REFUSE to turn their backs on their God given intelligence by supporting this individual. He is only “inevitable” because they MADE him inevitable by refusing to cease their slanderous ads, attacking the character of gentlemen who far exceed anything Romney has ever demonstrated in character or deed.
I have often said that if Romney was conducting himself in this way and this happened to be the early 19th century, he would be forced to meet Newt on the “field of honor”. Who would win such a dual is irrelevant to the fact that Romney greatly resembles Aaron Burr whom his political adversary Hamilton once said of him that he is “destitute of any fixed principles”.
He is only “inevitable” because of the ongoing journalistic malpractice that has been and still continues to be perpetrated by Fox News as they sat on the monumental lie committed by Romney in his repeated statement about “never having supported an individual mandate at the federal level”.
Fox destroyed the candidacy of Mike Huckabee in 2008 by running the talking points and constant replaying of a COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTEXT excerpt by Governor Huckabee articulating a litany of tax increases he would “support”. They bludgeoned Huckabee’s organic rise in virtually all of the major primaries after winning Iowa.
They left out the fact that this was a 30 second clip out of an evening long, final session with an Arkansas state legislature that was over 80% Democrat who controlled the purse strings.
There was NO WAY whatsoever they were going to CUT taxes (which was not in his power to do). Yet the state constitution DEMANDED by law that they have a balanced budget.
The fact that this state legislature was going to raise taxes was an axiom, so it was incumbent upon the Governor to enumerate which taxes he would GO ALONG WITH.
The fact that Huckabee was even able to be Governor was in itself a rarity in this Democrat stronghold where he succeeded Bill Clinton as Governor.
YET, FOX NEWS played the FRAUD. After DRUDGE released the aforementioned video - Fox News went into campaign gear and destroyed a remarkable momentum that was inconceivable as Huckabee rode the polls from the mere 2% he had earlier garnered - to front runner.
His rise was all grass roots and he was winning in the polls in Michigan, South Carolina and even Florida – UNTIL the Fox malpractice campaign.
It was a campaign IDENTICAL to that which we have seen them wage against Newt and then Rick Santorum.
It started out with Fox distorting that 30 second clip from that Arkansas session and then followed with Fox perpetuating the persecution of Huckabee for a commercial in which a book shelf behind him they maintained was really "a cross”.
Not so coincidentally, Fox began with non-stop Romney promoting until Huckabee won Iowa and then transitioned into the non-stop “McCain is inevitable” narrative after McCain became their “comeback kid” because he won more liberals in Massachusetts than did Romney.
It is a breach of fiduciary responsibility as the “freedom of the press” has a vital role in the efficacy of our republic.
I cannot in good conscience support their candidate who could win the nomination by such disreputable and fraudulent means. I will not enable them by reinforcing their unscrupulous methods.
One of my favorite quotes was by the Roman orator Cato who once said something that profoundly summarizes the reasoning of those who assert that Rick, Newt and ALL OF US need to surrender to the ongoing chicanery of Mitt Romney:
"There must certainly be a vast Fund of Stupidity in Human Nature, else Men would not be caught as they are, a thousand times over, by the same Snare, and while they yet remember their past Misfortunes, go on to court and encourage the Causes to which they were owing, and which will again produce them."
Hearing Jeb Bush who recently “came out” suggesting that we debase ourselves in this way has prompted me to go and make a donation to the Santorum campaign. Keep it up. I do not care what the hell your last name is - you cannot and will not beat us into submission – any longer.
24 years of this fruitless compromise has been enough for me. YOU are the people who elected Barack Obama by manufacturing a candidate who couldn’t win in 2008 and YOU are the fools who are re-electing Barack Obama in 2012 in your obstinate pushing of a dishonorable individual who has a deplorable record of liberalism and is anything but a gentleman.

Fox News' Conservative Problem is Compounding Interest
Mediaite.com featured a blog today titled: “Santorum Accuses Fox News of Shilling for Romney, is Called Out By Brian Kilmeade”
This sentiment has been circulating the Internet for the past several months and is growing stronger by the day. It is obvious Fox is aware of it as there has been a noticeable cognizance by program hosts and reporters who have been adding subtle disclaimers this past week to their talking points.
Kilmeade said to Santorum “there’s no way I agree with that and you’ve been on as much as anyone.”
First of all, I have never seen or heard Brian Kilmeade shilling for anyone, so he is not the problem. Steve Doocy is a different story.
Nevertheless, Kilmead’s premise is flawed. HOW MUCH TIME ONE CANDIDATE IS ON THE TV CHANNEL OVER ANOTHER has nothing to do with objectivity in reporting. Romney, despite being trapped as a candidate supported only by the minority of the party, has enjoyed exceptional positioning by Fox as the de facto, generic candidate in most Fox polls that purport to gauge general sentiment.
For the past two years, in a substantial number of Fox polls, Romney has been represented as the “presumptive nominee” for no other reason than he was the only declared candidate - because he doesn’t stop running for President. This is irresponsible journalism and is unfair to Republicans. The transparent agenda is to create a self-fulfilling prophecy just like they did this past election for McCain.
Rick Perry, Newt and Santorum have EACH seen organic groundswells of support during this campaign and have then been targets of the same formula to underhandedly quell their leads. The disreputable tactics are the "one, two punch" of $20 million worth of sleazy Romney ads - accompanied by incessant Fox talking point campaigns.
It’s a formula and if they want to prove otherwise, I say let’s see a Brent Bozell Media Research Center study on their objectivity. But even those can be manipulated if they simply gauge “objectivity” by the amount of media coverage in lieu of the TYPE of coverage. We can say that Chris Matthews is the most objective reporter in all of news today if we simply add how much time he spends talking about Republicans versus Democrats.
The FACT that they "sat on" the story of Romney being caught in yet another lie about his position on the crucial "individual mandate" upon which the entire Supreme Court case will rest - was a deliberate omission on the part of Fox. You don’t just miss those kinds of stories. There had to be a concerted agenda. Meetings had to take place at Fox in which it was decided –not- to run with these stories that broke two days before Super Tuesday. If such lies were uncovered by any other candidate, they would have been the top stories every hour – and rightly so. The stories were left to be reported by “citizen journalists” and small publications and did not come close to reaching critical mass – even up to this Tuesday’s election.
That is a major violation of journalistic integrity by the so-called "fair and balanced" network.
Fox also OMITTED the substantial story of Jim DeMint calling Romneycare an "unjust law". This is one of, if not the single most powerful conservatives in the Senate – who had endorsed Romney in 2008!
Those two issues SHOULD have destroyed Romney's campaign and WOULD have if Fox News exercised even a fraction of their journalistic duties.
No matter how many times they invite Rick or Newt to appear on Fox at this time in attempt to assuage the backlash for the tactics in which they have engaged - it is quite frankly - TOO LATE. The damage of omitting material facts regarding Romney’s propensity to misrepresent himself makes them appear to be of the same nature.
We cannot turn back the clock. The damage from Fox's omissions of material facts from a full 24 hour news cycle, the gravity of which would have appropriately shut down Romney's campaign if appropriately reported - cannot be fixed by any amount of posturing by Fox.
They simply got carried away with their flagrant campaigning and thought they could get away with betraying and manipulating their key audience in the way the liberal media get away with it routinely when perpetrated against an electorate half of which cares more about Dancing with the Stars. The key difference is that Fox miscalculated in their assessment of the intelligence and perspicacity of their audience.
I enlarged upon this in my March 10th video commentary “Romney's unregistered SUPERPAC Fox News”:

An Open Letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu,
It’s been almost one year ago since I last wrote you an open letter like this. I just want to let you know that most Americans agree with your assessment on Iran and the consequences to both Israel and America if those savages procure nuclear weapons.
In a peculiar way, a large number of us look to you, as opposed to the current President of the United States as our legitimate leader in these perilous times. We have much more in common since our nation was founded upon the belief that there is ONE God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Our nation was founded upon the word of THE God of Israel. His name permeates our founding documents and His laws are etched into our government buildings.
We have more in common with you because our current President of the United States and his Attorney General have waged war on our faith, our military, our schools and our families from the day he took office.
Another thing we have in common is that your people, God’s chosen, were in exile for many years and are constantly under attack by people who tell you that your country, given to you by a covenant with God Himself – is not yours.
We are now currently in a form of exile, being falsely maligned and attacked by enemies of God and our heritage, who tell us that our country is not ours despite a compact with our God dating back to 1620, known as the Mayflower Compact and our founding document in 1776, The Declaration of Independence.
I just want to let you know that WE have your back; but as you WELL know – our President does not. On that note, I just want to say that I understand why you publicly stated weeks ago that Israel reserves the right to attack Iran and will not notify the President of the United States.
The graciousness in the way you handled this is evidenced by the popular conjecture that the reason is that by not notifying “our” President - you would exculpate the US from being blamed by Iran for complicity. I can only speak for myself in saying that I don’t blame you for not trusting this President with valuable information as to -when- exactly you will attack. If I were in your shoes and dealt with the brunt of Obama’s public insolence, mockery and duplicity toward Israel, I too would worry about a “tip off” to Iran. Such a concern would indeed be valid.
Since Iran has never had any intentions of complying, time is of the essence. As with the Iranian hostage crisis when President Reagan took office, the hostages were released that very day. We know the importance of having a President who recognizes the threat of Iran and one who has the character to always tell the truth.
That is the kind of ally you know you can count on. You need an ally in the US whom you know will never flip-flop depending on vicissitudes of the day. It just so happens that your friends in the Republican Party who are daily criticized even by the moderate minority in our party – have two conservative candidates who you well know – believe in the ONE true God of Israel and have consistently been dependable on Issues concerning Israel.
One of them is Rick Santorum, who has stood up to ridicule by the “moderates” in our party for taking a stand for the beliefs he holds dear, which include the sovereignty of Israel and her God ordained right to exist. Rick has taken a resolute stand even though the majority of those in his Catholic denomination are voting for the moderate who is of another faith altogether. Rick has the steadfast support of the evangelical Christians who recognize that Israel was called by God – the Apple of His eye.
Our other conservative candidate for President - Newt Gingrich - has many of the characteristics of Winston Churchill. He is a strong leader and has long been warning of the threat posed against Israel.
Israel would do well with either of these fine statesmen who represent the MAJORITY of the Republican Party by significant margin - as US President.
As we know that what Israel MUST do is inevitable, we hope that it happens soon. When it happens, it will prevail as the most substantial debate in the world and it would be fitting that it should be at the forefront of the national debate as our nation’s leadership for the next 4-8 years is determined.
We continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
I leave you with this Mr. Prime Minister and perhaps at present the true “LEADER” of the free world:
"Then the Lord spoke to Moses saying, 'Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, "Thus you shall bless the sons of Israel. You shall say to them:
The Lord bless you, and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine on you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace."'
So they shall invoke My name on the sons of Israel, and I
shall bless them."
Sincerely yours,

A "Bag of Rocks" may Beat Obama - but Romney Won't.
It has become popular in pundit circles to tritely assert that “a bag of rocks could beat Obama in 2012.” If that is the case, than let’s run the damned bag of rocks. I would sooner vote for the bag of rocks than I would for Mitt Romney. Furthermore, if Romney wins the nomination and a credible third party conservative does not come to fruition, we may have to write it in.
If we ran someone against Obama who had the moral high-ground to challenge him on his destructive polices – our victory would be close to inevitable.
There's a reason why David Axelrod and every Democrat pundit engage in the following talking points:
Talking Point # 1. "Mitt Romney is the candidate who has the best chance of beating Barack Obama"
Talking point # 2. "Barack Obama is licking his chops over the prospect of facing Rick Santorum."
The REASON is that the Democrats -fear- Rick Santorum and/or Newt Gingrich. Can the media shills really think the aforementioned Democrat Party advice is in our best interest to heed? Why would the left-wing Democrats engage in such overwhelming solicitude to make sure we Republicans embrace these notions???
If you believe them, you are telling us that these liberals who assault every basic moral and economic value we hold dear like malicious demons - are so benevolent that they, including - David Axelrod himself- want to make certain that we Republicans have the best chance possible to defeat their candidate Obama in November.
I could deluge my readers by posting LITERALLY THOUSANDS of sourced quotes by the most powerful Democrats thanking Mitt Romney for being "father of the individual-mandate". But that would not make people who are infatuated like something resembling a school girl crush - actually THINK about the suicide to which they are committing the Republican Party.
For any rational voters thinking about voting for Mitt Romney, just go to Newsbank and conduct a search "Mitt Romney" + "individual mandate" and you will see nothing but quotes of liberals who actually –are- salivating over the prospect of Mitt Romney as the GOP nominee. For people who actually conduct DUE DILIGENCE when selecting a potential leader of the free world, the tens of thousands of columns and transcripts you see after conducting the aforementioned search will demonstrate one organic, unified voice and one theme among Democrats.
The theme is that Democrats will do ANYTHING to elect Mitt Romney by influencing the GOP primary elections state by state. They do this now by telling us through their party leaders and pundits that Mitt Romney is the candidate they believe “is the most formidable to challenge Barack Obama in November”
But when you look at the vast majority of their DEFENSES of the health care bill over a year ago, BEFORE our primary elections began, these same people used Mitt Romney as their PRIMARY DEFENSE for the individual mandate and their socialist health care bill as a whole.
They are LAUGHING at us because our so-called gurus like Karl Rove, Dick Morris, Dorothy Rabinowitz, Charles Krauthammer, Fred Barnes, Britt Hume and many others have picked up with thee Democrat narrative like a fumbled football and are running to the wrong end-zone with it. They are doing this while the rest of us scream from the bleachers “you are going the wrong way you cretins!”
This is what we get from people who do not know what to do with the ball because they are so used to playing defense. Even when we had the House, Senate & Executive branches, they were constantly playing defense as they cowered before the Democrats and squandered the opportunity given by the American people to go on offense.
Quite frankly, these are the losers to whom we listened all of those years and they are taking us down a pathway toward a shutout in which we again will be on the losing side in November when we elect our own Manchurian Candidate – Mitt Romney.
Following are just a sample out of the extraordinary number of articles buttressing this undeniable fact and giving us a taste of the overwhelming mantra that would drown out the politically castrated Romney before the race ever begins in November:
HEALTH CARE DOCTORING THE PARTY LINE - " Individual mandate ': A GOP baby, disowned
Free Lance-Star, The (Fredericksburg, VA) - Monday, January 3, 2011
"The idea of an individual mandate as an alternative to single-payer was a Republican idea," health economist Mark Pauly of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School told The Associated Press.
In fact, during debate over the Clinton health care plan in 1994, Hatch himself co-sponsored a bill that included an individual mandate. Back then, the mandate was seen as a free-market alternative, far preferable to the employer mandate President Bill Clinton was pushing.
More recently, Massachusetts Gov. Mitch Romney signed a law instituting an individual mandate as part of his state's effort to provide universal coverage…Despite the hue and cry over the "socialist" Obamacare plan, this highlights the fact that the Affordable Care Act is actually an extremely moderate approach-some might even argue a conservative approach-to health care reform, and that, for some, the constitutionality of a provision depends chiefly on who proposes it.”
More recently, Massachusetts Gov. Mitch Romney signed a law instituting an individual mandate as part of his state's effort to provide universal coverage…Despite the hue and cry over the "socialist" Obamacare plan, this highlights the fact that the Affordable Care Act is actually an extremely moderate approach-some might even argue a conservative approach-to health care reform, and that, for some, the constitutionality of a provision depends chiefly on who proposes it.”
“In an interview with USA Today , Axelrod goes out of his way to credit Mitt Romney for implementing a universal health care plan when he was governor of Massachusetts that shares many similarities with the White House-backed law that has proved so unpopular with Republicans."
Has Massachusetts Experience Put ObamaCare On A Path To Repeal?
Investor's Business Daily (Los Angeles, CA) - Thursday, January 13, 2011
Author: SALLY C. PIPES
Romney: "Every uninsured citizen in Massachusetts will soon have affordable health insurance, and the cost of health care will be reduced," then-Republican Gov. Romney wrote in the Wall Street Journal in 2006. "And we need no new taxes, no employer mandate and no government takeover to make this happen."
The other promises turned out to be bogus as well. Despite the near-universal insurance, the state still spends $414 million on uncompensated care, an expense that Romney and his architects promised would disappear. Emergency-room use has not dropped as predicted. From 2006 to 2008, emergency room use under Mass Care increased by 9%. And private employer insurance costs, far from dropping, have continued to increase.
The individual mandate , as onerous as it is, is set at a level to encourage gaming the system. A family with an income of $55,000 in 2014 will face the choice of paying $4,428 a year for health insurance or a $550 fine. Given that insurance will be available on demand, it's rational to pay the fine until a serious illness strikes.
Indeed, there is no strong demand for insurance among the uninsured. The individual market has existed for years and is lightly subscribed. The new high-risk pools created by ObamaCare are very undersubscribed. Bureaucrats projected that 375,000 would sign up by now. The actual number is 8,000.
The lie that Massachusetts never promised to control costs is amplified by the belief that Obama's plan would do so.There is no adequate answer to the nation-wide electorate to distinguish ourselves if the Republican Party is so self-destructive as to nominate the ONE and ONLY Republican Governor who successfully inoculates Barack Hussein Obama from one of the Democrat Party's most glaring trespasses. Not only did this candidate promulgate socialized medicine as Governor of one of the most left wing states in the union - but he based it upon the notorious "individual mandate", the component which the key to the entire case against it entirely rests. Romney will hand Barack Obama on a silver platter, the ability to make the entire Republican Party look like a party of hypocrites and make us the laughing stock of the nation in November 2012. THAT is why the unified voice of the Democrat Party ADVISES US to nominate Moot Romney as the GOP nominee.
