Newt Gingrich Is At The End Of The Road… Or Is He?

The latest polls in Nevada have Mitt Romney leading and expected to win tonight’s Republican primary election by some 20 points. That is not good news for his rivals and an email to reporters from Newt Gingrich is raising speculations about the future of his campaign.

According to the National Journal, Gingrich will deliver a news conference tonight after the election results. Is he ready to concede the race and throw his support behind Romney, or is he going to continue his defiance against his party’s elite and march on to the next state?

Gingrich’s press conference is scheduled for 11PM in Las Vegas.

More Good News For The Economy – Unemployment Rate Falls to 8.3%

News from The Hill: The economy added 243,000 jobs in January, many more than had been expected. The unemployment rate also dropped from 8.5 percent to 8.3 percent.

The job gains are a boost for President Obama, who is hoping a growing economy will make voters happier with his stewardship of the economy and carry him to a second term. Unemployment might be the most important statistic to watch ahead of the presidential race, and it has now dropped from 9 percent since September 2011.

Most observers had been expecting about 150,000 jobs to be created in January, or even fewer. The January report was nearly 100,000 jobs higher, and suggests a strengthening job market.

Gingrich Supporter Says Democrats “Abort Black Babies.”

Did you know that if you’re a Democrat and you just happen to be black, then you customarily abort your babies? What? You didn’t know this? Well have no fear, we have Newt Gingrich and his supporters to educate us on the things black people do.

This bit of ‘Knowledge’ comes from Rick Tyler, the black people expert who just happens to be in charge of a SuperPAC supporting Newt Gingrich.

TYLER: More people are on food stamps today because of Barack Obama, they fail in the schools, you can ask Al Sharpton, the Democrats have failed in the public schools with the African-Americans, they abort their babies, they’ve done nothing to lift them out of poverty.

98 percent of African-Americans vote Democrat, okay? What have they gotten for it? Poor schools, poor neighborhoods, crime-ridden neighborhoods, a destruction of the family, and the Democrats want to abort their babies. That’s their position. I’m not going to defend that.

Now I was about to tear into this imbecile, but then I found this tid-bit; Rick Tyler is a worm of a human being who will someday see his ugly heart strangle him in the mirror. But looking beyond his disgusting words, what really marks him as the liar he is are his ‘statistics’, which had the word “LIE!” stamped across everything spilling from his smarmy little mouth.

No, Donald Trump Will Not Endorse Himself Today.

That Donald Trump is about to make an announcement is not news, we all expected the self indulging publicity hound to endorse at some point. What’s news, is that he will endorse someone other than himself. Now that, that is news!

An advisor to Donald Trump says he will make a major announcement in Las Vegas tomorrow. Sources tell the 8 News NOW I-Team Trump will endorse Newt Gingrich.

According to Trump advisor Michael Cohen, “Donald J. Trump will be making a major announcement tomorrow at 12:30 p.m. at Trump International Hotel & Tower, Las Vegas, Nevada… The announcement will pertain to the Presidential race.”

Mitt Romney – “I’m Not Concerned About The Poor.”

Mitt Romney made an appearance on CNN after his Florida win to tell Americans a secret – if you’re very poor, he’s “not concerned” about you.

Romney says, “I’m not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there. If it needs a repair, I’ll fix it. I’m not concerned about the very rich…I’m concerned about the very heart of America, the 90-95 percent of Americans who right now are struggling.”

O’Brien asked him to clarify his remarks saying, “There are lots of very poor Americans who are struggling who would say, ‘That sounds odd.'”

Romney continues, “We will hear from the Democrat party, the plight of the poor…. You can focus on the very poor, that’s not my focus…. The middle income Americans, they’re the folks that are really struggling right now and they need someone that can help get this economy going for them.”

Well, that’s a half truth.

Of course we all know the real truth about Mitt Romney and who he’ll represent if given the chance to be president. He’s a Republican, so naturally his main focus will not be the poor and it will not be the middle class. If he becomes president, expect Romney to do what every other Republican president in recent history has done – he will protect Corporations and the rich at the expense of the poor and middle class. And it doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat, Republican or Independent. If Romney gets elected, then the class-warfare Republicans have been waging against the middle class for decades, will be the foundation of his presidency.

Romney may succeed in fooling the gullible, or those that will vote for him simply because they’ve decided to judge the current occupant of the White House based on the color of his skin and not the content of his character. But for the majority of Americans, the real Americans who put country ahead of party, we will vote for the real alternative,  we will vote for the policies that are getting us out of this economic slump and not the ones that started the recession in the first place. We will vote for our future, we will vote for President Obama.

Romney’s Swiss Bank Account was Betting Against the U.S Dollar

So, lemme get this straight — Mitt Romney set up a Swiss Bank account in hopes that the United States dollar fails, that way he could bet against the dollar to make a profit? And now, he wants to be President of the United States?

According to the manager of his trust, Mitt Romney’s Swiss bank account wasn’t an exercise in tax avoidance—rather, it was a hedge against a decline in the dollar. I’m not qualified to say whether or not his explanation is the full truth, but it certainly doesn’t provide evidence that Mitt Romney hates America. Obviously, an investment that bets on the decline of the dollar might not sound good, but when you have as much money as he does, you’re going to end up placing bets that might not be great soundbites for a campaign. In substantive terms, Romney is going to have a much bigger problem explaining why Bain profited from destroying companies than he will have explaining this.

Wow!

Why Are Republicans So Easily Prone To Ethic Violations?

We all know that politics breeds corruption, there’s no two ways about that. And there’s really no exception to the rule, as both Democrats and Republicans have been exposed in the past for their fraudulent deeds.

But why are Republican politicians more overwhelmingly attracted to corruption? Its almost as if Capital Hill is a magnetic field that, once they’re there, Republicans get sucked into the world of insider trading, unscrupulous behavior and greed, with special interests padding their campaign and personal bank accounts. And its all done in the name of The American People!

An increasing number of House Republicans are getting wrapped up in allegations of ethics violations ahead of the November elections, handing Democrats easy campaign fodder and putting the GOP in an unexpected bind.

Republican leaders in the lower chamber pledged to run an ethically sound ship when they took control last year. But as the second session gets under way, nearly a dozen GOP lawmakers are being questions on a wide array of their financial dealings, and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has not publicly admonished them.

By next Monday the House Ethics Committee is slated to decide whether to formally investigate Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.). Moreover, allegations arose over this past weekend that Rep. Michael Grimm (R-N.Y.) might have accepted illegal campaign donations, according to The New York Times.

Additionally, there are the three Republicans — Reps. Pete Sessions (Texas), Buck McKeon (Calif.) and Elton Gallegly (Calif.) — who earlier this month were referred to the House Ethics Committee for taking part in Countrywide’s VIP mortgage program, aimed at gaining special favor from lawmakers.

Newt Down For The Count, But Here Comes Sarah Palin…

Todd Palin already came out in support of the Newtsta. Sarah Palin on the other hand, is doing what Sarah Palin does best – prolonging the inevitable and milking the spotlight.

After asking voters in South Carolina to vote for Newt to continue the vetting process, palin occupied the television tubes again over the weekend with a similar message, telling Floridians to “rage against the machine” and vote for Newt.

“When both party machines and many in the media are trying to crucify Newt Gingrich for bucking the tide and bucking the establishment that tells you something.”

But Palin’s bickerings may already be too late. Recent polls out today has Romney with a16 point lead over Gingrich, 44% to 28%, with Rick Santorum at 12% and Ron Paul at 10%. Voting in Florida is set for Tuesday.

The President Will Vacate The Oval Office Next Year

The Washington Post Reports: Barack Obama, Newt Gingrich, and Mitt Romney are already knee-deep in what many observers are saying could be the nastiest presidential bid in decades—but a year from now, the ultimate victor, no matter who he is, may not get to claim the ultimate prize: the Oval Office.

According to sources familiar with the discussions, beginning sometime next year the President may be relocated from the White House West Wing and the iconic Oval Office to temporary office space next door in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, formerly known as the Old Executive Office Building.

How big will the displacement be? According to sources, who demanded anonymity in order to talk about non-public plans, the White House Mess and other parts of the West Wing will also undergo needed repairs—in other words, “the whole West Wing except the Situation Room,” as one source put it.

The displacement could last up to a year, according to two people who have been part of the discussions.

Hey Everyone, Look Over Here… It’s Donald Trump… Again!

The pressure to try to stay relevent is suffocating Donald Trump. Out of nowhere and with absolutely no relevance to anything anyone cares about, Donald Trump decided to give yet another interview, talking about… what else, that he is the only one that can save America, and if the GOP can’t get their act right, he will just have to save us all by running as an independent.

The interview, for what it’s worth, was shown on Sunday on CBS News program Face The Nation with Bob Schieffer. Be quite folks, Trump has something very important to say;

“I’ve never seen anything like this,” said The Donald. “It’s Republican against Republican, and yet the level of hatred, I guess you could say, I mean, there’s no other word for it, is unbelievable. The question is, are they hurting themselves? Are they hurting the party? Are they hurting the Republicans, and are they hurting their chances of winning an election against Barack Obama? And probably the answer is yes.

“I don’t see a person that, number one, is going to win,” he said, he may be forced to mount his own campaign.”I think people dislike the Republicans and the Democrats more than they ever have. So I actually think the right Independent could win, and there was a poll about a month ago, you saw it, where I was the number one Independent choice.

“It’s a very sad situation what’s happening to the country and I do say that and I say many other things and somehow it resonates with a lot of people and that’s why they, you know, would like me to run… I hope I don’t have to, but I may absolutely.”

Viewership for The Apprentice must be low.

Did Newt Gingrich Just Disqualify Himself And Romney From Being President?

Sunday on Fox News, Newt Gingrich became an honesty agent, criticizing flip-flopper Mitt Romney, calling him a liar and asking for honesty. Gingrich actually said this about Romney;

“You cannot be president of the United States if you cannot be honest and candid with the American people. That is a very serious problem.”

“He came into the debate prepared to say things that are false. I think someone who is running for the president has a unique requirement to be honest because the only way you lead the American people is by having them believe in you.”

But if honesty is a qualifier for being President of the United States, and it should, does this mean that by his own standards, Gingrich just disqualified himself?

I asked this question on Facebook, here are some of the replies:
