Perry the GOP frontrunner in Ga., and nationally as well
Via Jim Galloway, a poll of Georgia Republicans by Channel Two Action News and InsiderAdvantage:
Rick Perry: 24 percent;
Herman Cain: 15 percent;
Newt Gingrich: 9 percent;
Michele Bachmann: 8 percent;
Mitt Romney: 6 percent;
Ron Paul: 5 percent;
Jon Huntsman: 1 percent;
Undecided, 20 percent.
It’s no surprise that Perry’s doing well in Georgia, but the size of his lead is a little startling so soon after his entry into the race. The fact that Romney, the longtime frontrunner who has been in the race for months, draws just 6 percent here in the Peach State is a stark reminder of his problems with the party’s conservative base.
In a similar poll taken in Florida earlier this month, before Perry’s official entry, Romney pulled 25 percent, with Perry drawing support from 16 percent and Bachmann getting 10 percent. I doubt those numbers would be duplicated today, with Perry now an official candidate.
The most recent numbers out of South Carolina, another important primary state, date back to mid-July, when Perry was just beginning to make noises about a serious run. Romney drew 25 percent, with Sarah Palin at 16 percent, Bachmann at 15 percent and Cain at 13 percent. But again, Perry’s entry into the race has no doubt altered that landscape.
That’s certainly what has happened nationally. Here’s Rasmussen from earlier this week:
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Republican Primary voters, taken Monday night, finds Perry with 29% support. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who ran unsuccessfully for the GOP presidential nomination in 2008, earns 18% of the vote, while Bachmann, the Minnesota congresswoman who won the high-profile Ames Straw Poll in Iowa on Saturday, picks up 13%.
Texas Congressman Ron Paul, who was a close second to Bachmann on Saturday, has the support of nine percent (9%) of Likely Primary Voters, followed by Georgia businessman Herman Cain at six percent (6%) and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich with five percent (5%). Rick Santorum, former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, and ex-Utah Governor Jon Huntsman each get one percent (1%) support, while Michigan Congressman Thaddeus McCotter comes in statistically at zero.
At this point, Perry is probably the frontrunner in the race, with the important proviso that like Bachmann, he has the potential to self-destruct at any moment.

Look, are unions all bad? No. They, like all too many others in this world do things for power, not necessarily for the benefit of their members. Do they have too much power? Absolutely yes.
Are corporations all bad? No. Unless of course, you believe the uber-left partisans on this blog who don’t have working brains. But they also do some things for power (especially gaming the tax code) instead of doing what is right for the country.
The issue is that our government (who also wants power) simply pays too much attention to the fringes and not enough on the center. If government would stop enabling power to both, and therefore reduce their power over the individual, this nation would recover and prosper like no other.

Comments: Poland’s oppressive, tyrannical, communist government tried to destroy the union, but that could never happen here, could it?

My second question today is why are so many of you Libs in favor of unions?? In the end, unions are anti-consumer, because they dramatically raise the cost of goods and services across the board for the benefit of the few.
Gotta call false start on that one, bruh. Unions are made up of the very people who buy the sh*t they make. You’re claiming that the end consumer is anti-consumer. Only in an upside down world. Your statement on wages and benefits could be applied to CEO’s and exec level management too, so be careful when painting with that brush. Those funds for those golden parachutes and perks don’t just magically appear at the end of a rainbow.
Guess I’m a Lib since I’m left of you, but for me, unions are no different for the average worker than the corporate boards are for senior exec level workers. They’re both fighting to maximize the benefits for the people they represent. Who do you think has a much broader impact on a consumer based economy:
A) 100,000 workers averaging $70k a year who pretty much live paycheck to paycheck spending almost every dime just to live
B) 100 workers averaging $500k a year who pretty much invest at least half of their income, save 1/4th and spend the rest.

Not much of a fan of Early or Middle baroque, but I do like Vavaldi. The Four Seasons is a little overplayed and several of his operas were much more influential than his concertos.
Of course Bach changed music more than any other baroque artist, in fact, he actually changed the structure of music by defining the tempered scale.
But the actual term baroque is a bit of a cop out. It defines European Music that spans 150 years and involves many different styles.
The term classical has long defined music that was composed for orchestra and / or opera. I presume that your problem with my use of the term is from the term “Classical Era” which of course followed the baroque era.
As far as your use of the term “impressionists”, it was a style that appeared DURING the classical era. So Pal, be careful when you talk about things that you obviously know little about.

Of course, it took the addition of Steve Perry to put them on the charts as well. Santana stated in an interview that he cried after how beautifully Neil Schon played on “Caravanserai”, both for the craftsmanship that he displayed, but also for the fact that he knew that Neil would have to leave him soon and strike out on his own.

Bush Campaign Pledges To Restore Honor And Dignity To White House
During the year and a half that I covered George W. Bush’s 2000 presidential campaign, I must have heard his stump speech a thousand times. The lines changed little over the months, and the ending almost never changed — Bush would raise his hand, as if taking an oath, and promise to restore honor and dignity to the White House.
He also vowed to restore civility to the poisonous atmosphere of the nation’s capital, declaring at a GOP fundraiser in April 2000 that “it’s time to clean up the toxic environment in Washington, D.C.”
Who knew by “clean up” he meant he was gonna use overflowing septic tanks?

Sounded like you were kicking the bottom of the totem pole w/TSA. If that wasn’t your intent, then, that’s my bad.

If you or anyone else think our aviation system or any other part of our country no longer has a bullseye attached, that’s a big, big mistake. I have no problem with you being anti-cop, even though that’s my line of work. I only ask that you kick the shins of those who deserve to be kicked.
As far as corporations, your corp and/or the other small corps that exist probably have no chance of becoming unionized unless you deal directly with union affilitated business. Most of the organization goes on with the big guys, and it’s exactly the big guys that have pushed the huge discrepancies in wages over the past 30 years. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the stagnation of wages of the lil guy also coincides with the reduction in union membership along with the increase in union busting.

You might have to factor in the phenomenon that blogs tend to attract the mentally unbalanced.
It’s just not limited to the blogosphere in my opinion. When you have a group of elected officials with the mindset of some of the TPers, who were more than willing to tank the debt limit increase, that’s cause for a pause. I know the political game pretty well with all the posturing, double speak, and back room deals. We’re beginning to witness a new group who have been fed, from the time they were young, that government is the problem and the only way to solve it is to get the government out of the way. I hope I’m wrong, but I think we’re only beginning to see the start of that rhetoric of the past being put into actual plan, even if it’s to the detriment of the country as a whole.

I have been with hundreds of women because the first thing I tell them is I am a a**hole that will probably cheat on you. Bruno blew it by begging.
They think they can change me and I am a challenge.

“Actually it was during the Romance era.”
I’ll give you that one, Pal. While classical involved a couple of centuries, the Romance era did include the impressionist style.

It was thirty years ago when St. Ronnie-of-the-Ray-Gun hypocritically pushed forward that mind-set, so we have a generation that believes it.

Brosephus, I’m calling BS on that last comment.
There is NO elected official on this planet that will say that government isn’t needed.
NONE.
It is the scope and cost of that government that is in question, and nothing else.

Obama proposes that we all share the burden. He proposed letting the Bush-era tax cuts for the RICH expire. The Republicans said no way they would let that happen and they were willing to let our Nation go into default rather than let these tax cuts expire. No amount of wind-bag gyrations on your part can stop us from seeing the Republicans as they really are – bought and paid for tools of Big Business.

Begging never works. It may get you a single date, but they lose respect for you when you beg. After all, if they require you to beg, is that really who you want?

I probably can’t claim hundred(s) as in the plural form, but I’ve done ok. Fortunately, there are a small percentage of women who like the shy, sensitive type. I will agree that being “edgy” works better, but I yam what I yam.
Stop it.
Sorry, Matti.
Better run before I get in trouble.

No he doesn’t. I have seen no proposal out there that changes the tax rates so that those who do not pay income taxes today suddenly do.

You still don’t get the “tax cut for the rich” garbage. We all got the tax cut. At least all of us who actually pay taxes. Bush didn’t exclude the rich, but we all got the break.

Even when we are discussing a shared interest, you are rather noisome.

Then why the broad generic belief that “government is the problem” instead of promoting the size and/or cost is the problem? YOU may be able to discern the message within the message, but many of the bumper sticker reciting crowd probably don’t know the difference.
While no elected official will come out forthright and state that, they have no problem stoking that belief amongst their followers.

Simply letting the Bush tax sale end would pull between 10%-20% more back from the zero tax liability list.
