Let's use this thread to post any information about the 2012 Republican presidential challengers. We all know His Hairness Trump is OUT, as is Huckabee. Newt is IN, as are T-PAW and and Huntsman...Ron Paul is always IN...for the third time...Santorum and Bachman will probably be announcing YEA soon...if the world doesn't come to an end on the 21st! .

No Newt Moment For Jon Huntsman: He’s 100% Behind Ending Medicare

In his first major television interview of his likely presidential campaign rollout this morning, former Utah Gov. and Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman avoided his own Newt Gingrich moment. The House Republican plan to privatize Medicare? Count Huntsman in.

"I would've voted for it," he told ABC's George Stephanopoulos Friday morning. "Including the Medicare provisions."

Huntsman, President Obama's last ambassador to China, is best known for his moderate positions on hot-button conservative issues like civil unions (he's for them), man-made climate change (he believes it exists) and even college tuition breaks for the children of illegal immigrants (he opposed Republican efforts to end them in Utah while Governor.)

He stood by all those positions in the interview with Stephanopoulos, staking his claim on the social moderate end of the Republican presidential field. But when it comes Republican plan to eliminate Medicare in favor of a voucher system, Huntsman's now staked his claim on the field's far right end.

We all know what "snowflake snooky" is doing, aka falin palin.....adding more money to her "lock box" for future deals....back scratchers... She's following "fox hair big dick" Trumpie trying to show who gets the most "dumpy fox" news spots. She will fade into the sunset.

As for "I came out from under the rocks"....Michele Bachmann, or what ever her name is to a pin the tag...I'm the 2012 bitch who wants to be President. Yesterday, she said, "I will announce next week that she will announce when she will announce if she will announce to run for 2012."
Sounds just like some of her stupid remarks. Always making good sense.

AND HEEEEEEERRRR'S ROMNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mitt Romney's Economic Claims vs. The Facts

In rhetorical excesses marking his entry in the presidential campaign, Mitt Romney said the economy worsened under President Barack Obama, when it actually improved, and criticized the president for issuing apologies to the world that were never made.

A look at some of the statements by Romney on Thursday in announcing his bid for the Republican nomination and how they compare with the facts:

ROMNEY: "When he took office, the economy was in recession. He made it worse. And he made it last longer."

THE FACTS: The gross domestic product, the prime measure of economic strength, shrank by a severe 6.8 percent annual rate before Obama became president. The declines eased after he took office and economic growth, however modest, resumed. The recession officially ended six months into his presidency. Unemployment, however, has worsened under Obama, going from 7.8 percent in January 2009 to 9.1 percent last month. It hit 10.1 percent in October 2009.

A case can be made for and against the idea that Obama's policies made the economy worse than it needed to be and that the recession lasted longer than it might have under another president. Such arguments are at the core of political debate. But Obama did not, as Romney alleged, make the economy worse than it was when he took office.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MEDIA COVERAGE OF NEWT GINGRICH????!!!!!

WELL, NOW WE HAVE THE DEAD-FETUS DISPLAYING RICK SANTORUM ENTERING THE RACE!

Rick Santorum 2012 Campaign For President Launches

I would guess the overweight Newt The Toot just picked up his tooter and tooted right out the door just tooting away.

When Newt ceased to Toot, that turncoat Zell Miller lost his job...he was going to be working in Newt's campaign!

NOW HEEEEEEEERRRRRRSSSSSS T-PAW!

PAWLENTY PROPOSES "BETTER DEAL"


WHAT T-PAW DOESN'T SAY IS IT'S A BETTER DEAL FOR CORPORATIONS AND THE AMERICAN ARISTOCRATS!

Tim Pawlenty delivered a speech Tuesday morning at the University of Chicago, laying out an economic platform that he is dubbing a "Better Deal" -- in a clear word-play on such past progressive economic policies as Teddy Roosevelt's Square Deal, Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, and Harry Truman's Fair Deal. Though of course, Pawlenty's proposals are quite a bit different.

Pawlenty's proposals would involve drastic slashing of tax rates: The corporate tax rate would be reduced from 35% to 15%, and the income tax would now take up only two brackets of 10% and 25%.

Pawlenty would in turn drastically cut spending, including some possible cuts or privatizations/eliminations of services that people have taken for granted. "Now there's some obvious targets. We can start by what I call 'The Google Test.' If you can find a service or a good available on Google, or the Internet, then the federal government probably doesn't need to be providing that good or service," said Pawlenty. "The post office, the government printing office, Amtrak, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and others, were all built for a time in our country and a different chapter in our economy, when the private sector didn't adequately provide those services. But that's no longer the case."

Thus, Pawlenty is clearing placing himself staunchly on the right, with a program that would drastically change the shape of the federal government as Americans have known it. In an environment where the GOP has run into trouble over Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-WI) proposals to privatize Medicare, will these ideas fly with the general public beyond the GOP primary base?

We see what "Baby Diaper Rash" T-Paw can and has done.

Santorum Would Support Constitutional Amendment Outlawing Gay Marriage If Elected President

During an appearance on CNN this evening, GOP presidential candidate and former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) hinted that he would push for a federal constitutional amendment outlawing same-sex marriage if he were elected president, arguing that gay or lesbian relationships could destabilize the culture, rob children “of the potential of having a mom and a dad,” and undermine religious liberties:

SANTORUM: Once people realize the consequence to society of changing this definition, it’s not that we’re against anybody. People can live the life they want to live. They can do whatever they want to do in the privacy of their home with respect to that activity. Now you’re talking about changing the laws of the country. and it could have a profound impact on society, on faith, on education. Once people realize that, they say, you know what, we respect people’s life to live the life they want to lead but don’t change how with that definition.

Watch it:


Santorum did not talk about what impact a federal ban would have on the same-sex couples and families currently residing in the five states (plus the District of Columbia) that extend gay and lesbian people all of the rights and obligations of marriage.

YEP..IT'S WHAT MARRIAGE IS ALL ABOUT...TO POP BABIES OUT INTO THE WORLD!
