Do you think the GOP will still vote Noooo if we go over the fiscal cliff?
Will the GOP vote no to a middle class tax cut if we go over the fiscal cliff?
President Obama should go back to his original deal.....
Leave Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid out.
Let the GOP propose publicily what their cuts to these programs are. If the GOP will not make a deal unless these programs have cuts the GOP needs to say this loud and clear then pay the political price for their beliefs. President Obama needs to stop providing political cover for the GOP and their positions. It hurts the Democratic party in the long run, ie 2014.
If Social Security cuts in any form is not a GOP request, and the GOP does not request it publicly, then President Obama should not even entertain the idea. Period.
Limbaugh blasts ‘overeducated’ young single white women
Rush Limbaugh goes back on the attack today.........
Following “sincerely” apologizing for calling a Georgetown University student a “slut,” conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday complained about “overeducated” single white women.
“What is it with all these young, single, white women? Overeducated doesn’t mean intelligent,” he ranted, going on to talk about journalist Tracie McMillian’s book.
On Monday, attorney Max Kennerly with The Beasley Firm told the Philidelphia Daily News that Fluke could “definitely” sue the radio host because he had made “false statements of fact.”

Cato Institute Caught in Rift Over Direction
From its perch in a spacious brand-new headquarters blocks from the White House, the Cato Institute has built on its reputation as a venerable libertarian research center unafraid to cross party lines.
Now, however, a rift with one of its founding members — the billionaire conservative Charles Koch — is threatening the institute’s identity and independence, its leaders say, and is exposing fault lines over Mr. Koch’s aggressive and well-financed brand of Republican politics.
The rift has its roots, Cato officials said, in a long-simmering feud over efforts by Mr. Koch and his brother David Koch to install their own people on the institute’s 16-member board and to establish a more direct pipeline between Cato and the family’s Republican political outlets, including groups that Democrats complain have mounted a multimillion-dollar assault on President Obama.

(This is how the GOP controls its propaganda pipeline.)
G.O.P. Campaigns Grow More Dependent on ‘Super PAC’ Aid
The spending reports revealed the breadth and power of super PACs as the campaign hits a critical and perhaps decisive period, with outside groups poised to pick up a growing share of political spending during the costly primary battle that lies ahead.

Maxine Waters is Fired UP!
These are legislators (House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.)) who are destroying this country rather than bringing us together, creating jobs, making sure we have a good tax policy, bringing our jobs from back offshore, incentivizing those who keep their jobs here. They are bringing down this country, destroying this country, because they can." Maxine Waters 2012

If your house is in foreclosure do not move out. Very important!
If your house is up for foreclosure make the people who say that you owe them money, prove legally with the right paperwork in order, that you actually legally owe them money. Do not move out until you have a lawyer examine the paperwork for signatures and correct dates etc. More than likely you do not owe these people money since they do not own the loan they say they own. In other words they are fraudulently making a claim to your property. Do not move out!
Audit Uncovers Extensive Flaws in Foreclosures
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/16/business/california-audit-finds-broad-irregularities-in-foreclosures.html?_r=1
Anecdotal evidence indicating foreclosure abuse has been plentiful since the mortgage boom turned to bust in 2008. But the detailed and comprehensive nature of the San Francisco findings suggest how pervasive foreclosure irregularities may be across the nation.
Citizens United Part II: Montana Supreme Court Collides With U.S. Supreme Court
The fate of Montana's century-old ban on corporate political spending is now in the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court, setting up a possible sequel to the hotly contested Citizens United decision handed down two years ago.

Most Super PAC Money went to the Republicans
Most of the money disclosed this week went to independent groups supporting Republicans, giving them an enormous money advantage over similar Democratic groups in the first phase of the 2012 election cycle. Such donations were made possible by the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision in 2010 and subsequent court rulings, which opened the door to unlimited corporate and union contributions to political committees and made it possible to pool that money with unlimited contributions from wealthy individuals.

The Democratic Party and its allies better find a way to keep up with this Republican Tidal Wave about to sweep over them. The Super PACs offer the best way to smear a politician without a candidate getting his own hands dirty. Look at Mitt Romney's 2012 primary wins in Iowa and Florida for an example.
