Americans For Cain: High-Tech Lynching

“This is a circus. It is a national disgrace. It is a high tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves . It is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order you will be lynched, destroyed caricatured rather than hung from a tree.” - Clarence Thomas

It Is What It Is

Via Rightscoop

Whites in America have consistently fought against racism and slavery from the beginning of this country, all the way up to the 1960s and ’70s. They were the ones that were championing the rights of the African Americans.

Indeed....

Mr. Kelly goes to Washington.

I’m trying to understand the criticism of Mr. Ryan’s budget from the side that didn’t even have the courage to pass a budget. To sit there now and rail about Mr. Ryan’s budget, about how it’s so ineffective and how it doesn’t work is, to me, the greatest, most hypocritical statement I’ve heard since coming here. And I’ve got to tell you something… I’m not speaking as a Republican here, I’m speaking as an American. You want to know why the public opinion of Congress is so low? It’s because we don’t listen.

If you want to start the reelection campaign and the strategy for 2012 now, that’s fine. But how about we just fix what’s broken? Instead of standing here pointing fingers at each other, let’s quit spending money we don’t have, let’s not keep borrowing money and using our kids and our grandkids as note signers.

Let’s stop railing against the really wealthy, because I’ve got to tell you something. As a guy who has had to pay his own way his whole life I am greatly offended by the idea that somehow somebody in Washington knows how to spend my money better than I do. That somebody in Washington knows how to regulate me to the point where I can’t even borrow money any more. You want to talk about people who are afraid? The small banks. They’re scared to death to do anything. Why? Because their government has such onerous regulations on them anymore that they don’t know about the rules and the regulations that have been put through or haven’t even been written.

So when you want to sit back and talk about these wealthy, evil people… you want them to spend money? Make their future certain.

As speculation mounts about his presidential ambitions, Texas Gov. Rick Perry delivered a rousing and unapologetic defense of conservative principles on Saturday at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans

“‘Our opponents on the left are never going to like us, so let’s stop trying to curry favor with them,’ he said, before imploring the crowd to ‘stand up. Let’s speak with pride about our values. Let’s stop this American downward spiral.’…

Cain: With All Due Respect, Obama Couldn't Run A Pizza Joint

Fast-rising GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain, the former Godfather’s Pizza CEO emerging as a strong contender in the Iowa caucuses, blasted President Barack Obama’s leadership abilities in an exclusive Newsmax interview, saying Obama “could not run one Godfather’s pizza restaurant.”

...“The president has demonstrated that he lacks leadership in a whole lot of ways [and] could not run a company,” Cain told Newsmax. “And I don’t mean to be disrespectful: He could not run one Godfather’s pizza restaurant.

“Instead of being decisive, he dithers,” Cain said. “Instead of having a management structure where he can entrust to some key people responsibility, he has an organization that is unmanageable. When he added 36 czars to go with the ones he already inherited, that is an unmanageable structure. So nobody knows who’s in charge."

Pass It Forward Around

“This video lays out the clear choice our nation faces on Medicare: Will Medicare become a program in which a board of bureaucrats manages its bankruptcy by denying care to seniors? Or will leaders work together to save and strengthen Medicare by empowering seniors to choose health care plans that work best for them, with less support for the wealthy and more help for the poor and the sick? House Republicans have advanced solutions to save Medicare. Instead of working with us, the leaders of the Democratic Party have opted to play politics with the health security of America’s seniors.”

Your eyes aren’t fooling you: that really is Fox News’s Megyn Kelly in the most recent edition of GQ Magazine.
...While the magazine has not yet made a link available for the story, TVNewser does have some excerpts, including the magazine’s description of the conservative host.

How'd I Miss This One!

Retired Army Lt. Colonel Allen West was one of the GOP’s big winners Tuesday night, and one of two black Republican candidates to be elected this season. During his victory speech for Florida’s 22nd district, West spoke about American exceptionalism, confronting her enemies head on, and called out Washington’s Democratic leaders.

"America is about empowering the individual, not enslaving the individual. And that's what we have to get away from. Each and everytime there is a tax that is created, that takes a little bit more of your liberty away."

Keep It Real

...Normally, we should be in the early stages of that process. Instead, it appears that Republicans are about to retake one, and perhaps both, houses of Congress. The normal cycle of defeat and renewal has been speeded up considerably.

Why? Because Democrats have been screwing up faster than Republicans can recover. The GOP might not be fully ready to govern, but voters are increasingly convinced that Democrats don't deserve to. The Democrats' willful defiance of the public's wishes on Obamacare, on federal spending and on other government-expanding initiatives has changed voters' priorities. In the urgency of the moment, throwing Democrats out is more important than determining whether Republicans are fully ready to take control.

The day after his party is expected to face a bloodletting at the polls, President Obama will face the press.

Congressman Paul Ryan

At Hot Air: Paul Ryan to Obama: You realize your bill is a fiscal disaster, right?

Via the Standard, this was the most buzzed-about moment among righties on Twitter this afternoon, and with good reason. Now that you’ve laughed at the freak-show stuff, settle in for six minutes of Ryan wonking out about what’s destined to happen to the “cost curve” and our annual deficits if The One’s leviathan bill passes. This has always been a core problem of Obama’s health-care pitch: He knows that the moral argument for the bill — sure, it’ll cost us dearly but it’s worth it to insure the uninsured — is a political loser so he resorts to preposterous assertions about how our giant new federal entitlement will actually save us money in the long run.

Rep. Thaddeus McCotter At CPAC

Representative Thaddeus McCotter gave a very impressive speech today at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

"There's been some word. I've heard that the Republican Party and the conservative movement constitutes the party of "no." I think if you look at the facts should disabuse people of that notion. Afterall, when the American people ask for constitutional limited government, the Democrats said, "no." When the American people asked for fiscal integrity in disciplining government spending, the Democrats said, "no." When the American people asked for smaller deficits and a reduction of the debt, the Democrats said, "no." -- When the American people asked to keep the consensus against using your tax dollars for abortions at home and abroad, the Democrats said, "no." And when the American people asked to have the current government run health care plan scrapped and to start from scratch for free market patient center principles, the Democratic party said, "no." -- Because the American people know that, to the American people, it is the Democratic Party that says, "no." And to the American people...we say, "yes." Because we have always understood that America's ultimate strength and salvation remains for a free people."

"We must empower the American people to channel necessary instructive change. We must defend America from her enemies. And pursuing these goals we abide five permanent principles:

...Our liberty is from God not the government.
...Our sovereignty is in our souls not the soil of the septor.
...Our security is from strength, not of surrender or appeasement.
...Our prosperity is from the private sector, not the public sector.
...And our truthes are self evident, not relative."

Pelosi: Not Enough Votes to Pass Senate Health Bill in House

HOO-YAH!!!! What a difference a day makes. Freddie's Dead, sweetie. The Senate Health Bill is dead, dead, dead! Tax increases, Medicaid, individual mandates..........dead.

"I don't see the votes for it at this time," Pelosi said. "The members have been very clear in our caucus about the fact that they didn't like it before it had the Nebraska provision and some of the other provisions that are unpalatable to them."

"In every meeting that we have had, there would be nothing to give me any thought that that bill could pass right now the way that it is," she said. "There isn't a market right now for proceeding with the full bill unless some big changes are made."

It feels good being able to exhale for just a bit right now.
It's already a struggle having to deal with our health insurance, fighting for the rights of my special needs child. To have to deal with politicians rather than doctors to get the attention she would require under the Obamacare would have been devastating. The government has no business making the decisions of my daughter's fragile health. It They would have surely killed her. I've been fighting with insurance companies for 21 years, being the voice for my daughter. No doubt we do need reform. But not the plan that the Democrats want.
