For Republicans, some daunting numbers
You can lead an elephant to water but ...
Some numbers:
– Thirty-three U.S. Senate seats were up for grabs in the 2012 election. Democrats won 25 of those 33 seats.
– Mitt Romney is going to the White House today to have lunch, not to check out his new crib. And the main reason he will have to dine and dash is because American women rejected both his candidacy and his party, voting for Barack Obama by a margin of 55-44 percent. The gender differential in most down-ticket races was even larger.
– The Republican-run U.S. House has 19 major committees. Next year, it appears that all 19 will be chaired by white males.
– The current Republican House caucus includes 24 women. Next year, that number will drop to 19.
– In the last three presidential election cycles, Americans under 30 voted Democratic by an average of 60 percent. And lest Republicans try to comfort themselves with the argument that it’s nothing new, that young voters always vote Democratic, it simply is not true. In the previous eight election cycles, an average of just 46.5 percent of young people had voted for the Democrat.
What does it mean? Generally speaking, younger voters who cast repeated ballots for a particular party tend to form a lasting affiliation with that party.
– On Wednesday, House Speaker John Boehner reiterated his caucus’s strong opposition to raising taxes on the wealthy. Also on Wednesday, a new Washington Post poll was released reporting that just 37 percent of Americans agree with the position that Boehner and others have made the central focus of their party’s economic identity.
As longtime conservative Bruce Bartlett puts it in his much-cited piece for The American Conservative:
“At least a few conservatives now recognize that Republicans suffer for epistemic closure. They were genuinely shocked at Romney’s loss because they ignored every poll not produced by a right-wing pollster such as Rasmussen or approved by right-wing pundits such as the perpetually wrong Dick Morris. Living in the Fox News cocoon, most Republicans had no clue that they were losing or that their ideas were both stupid and politically unpopular.
I am disinclined to think that Republicans are yet ready for a serious questioning of their philosophy or strategy. They comfort themselves with the fact that they held the House (due to gerrymandering) and think that just improving their get-out-the-vote system and throwing a few bones to the Latino community will fix their problem. There appears to be no recognition that their defects are far, far deeper and will require serious introspection and rethinking of how Republicans can win going forward. The alternative is permanent loss of the White House and probably the Senate as well, which means they can only temporarily block Democratic initiatives and never advance their own.”
Political power ebbs and flows. It always has and always will. But it doesn’t just ebb and flow on its own. It fluctuates because losing parties take stock of why they’re losing and adapt to changing realities. If a political party not only refuses to adapt but makes a refusal to recognize changing realities a central part of its identity, ebb and flow can be delayed for a long, long time.

Still not sure other than custom and civility why Romney is off to the White House and I don’t think it will help with Boehner but I could be wrong. Romney will have little sway with any in the GOP. Most of the GOP appear to have already abandoned him. Would be nice to see Romney stand up and say cut the crap.

Check out article comments at redstate.com. These tea party conservatives are FURIOUS at the Republican party now. I read comments such as, “Republicans have moved to the left, Democrats have moved to Socialism.”
They are also talking about a third “Constitutional” type of party. They want the GOP to die and a new party to take over that is more conservative. Great – more independents will vote Democrat

Start the process now to have a real conservative party and by that I don’t mean Tea Party, I mean the conservatives we knew back in the 60s & 70s. We must have two strong parties (at least, maybe more) for our system to function properly.

We do not have to look to Europe to see the effects that raising taxes on the wealthiest will have on jobs and the economy. Just look at the Bush and Clinton years. Sam Walton’s employees should not have to supplement their income with public assistance that we pay for. If Repubs. can’t adapt they will go the way of the dinosaur.

In the long run, the GOP will moderate – count on it.
The Tea Party will be relegated to the rubbish bin of history (perhaps leaving a greater appreciatin of some or the more libertarian values within the GOP).
However, venial stupidity is strong within the current GOP leadership – this ship may take awhile to get back on course. In the meantime, the Democratic Party will make a lasting imprint on the political landscape taht will be hard to erase.

While Jay continues to bask and gloat in all his glory of Obama’s win, I would caution him to pause. I heard the same rheotric after the 2008 election and we saw how much that changed by the 2010 election.
The Democrat party reminds me of the “cool parents” from high school. Everyone’s kids has set of parents like this. You know, they let their kids drink, aren’t really concerned if they get their homework done, let their kids do whatever…
Well how do you think most of those kids turn out??? All of the tax increases and lies about Obamacare will be exposed in the coming years. The Democrats have NO plan except to “tax the rich.” Even though the tax increases they are proposing hardly make a ripple in the debt..
We’ll see how people vote when the Dem’s house of cards comes crumbling down on itself. (and it will, it is a 100% certainty).

I don’t think that the Tea Party will let the GOP moderate. I am going to enjoy watching that battle. The GOP is going to split if that happens as the very red states will freak out and call the moderate Republicans RINOS and the battle will ensue. The more blue state Republicans moderate, the more the Confederate state Republicans will turn tea party bat s**t crazy. It really does look good for Democrats right now.

Well, I feel kinda sorry for the young Republicans that are gonna be old some day.
You can almost hear the talk going on in houses of the future now:
Teenager: “Dad, why does Grandpa snarl every time he tunes in to the news?”
Dad: “Well, son, your granddaddy hates what’s happening in politics these days.”
Teenager: “Who did Grandpa vote for when he was younger and still able to get around?”
Dad: “Well, son, your granddaddy was a Republican and he always voted for Republicans.”
Teenager: “What’s a Republican?”
It’s kinda sad to see my party get butt-whomped so bad at the polls by women and the Mexicans and still go around talking about sticking things in women to make sure they’re still pregnant and deporting every Mexican they see. I hate to say it about my own kind, but it’s so hard for them to learn anything it’s like they’re bone-headed stupid or something.
But maybe that’s just the way I see things. Have a good Thursday everybody.

I’ve been looking at the National Review, and I’m not seeing a lot of soul-searching on the right. They’re still looking at excuses: a fancy new GOTV database didn’t work the way it was supposed to. The GOP didn’t do a good enough job of educating voters. The ad campaign didn’t focus on the right issues. Skewed polls were such an article of faith that no one saw disaster coming in time to ward it off. The cultural narrative — movies, books, TV — mostly comes from the left; the right isn’t good enough at telling their stories.
The whole “we make our own reality” thing just keeps coming back to bite the R’s. They simply can’t buy the notion that they can’t simply tap their ruby heels together and find themselves back in a world that conforms to their beliefs.

You cons just got crushed for the third time in six years.
And more than a few of you said Romney/Elmer Fudd/anybody could beat Obama.
What the hell are you thinking?
And yet you reality averse Republicans think that with no changes whatsoever, things are going to just magically turn around for you? As though there is some immutable “pendulum”. But all bets are off on that when your party, it’s leaders and your ideology all stink on ice. Hint: trying to govern from WAY out there on the extremist fringe will never get you beyond where you are now.

It should be interesting to see how Obama and Congressional Democrats adapt to the reality of an economy in serious decline worsening with each passing day. The demands for more taxation on upper class income earners will soon be drowned out by demands from a large and growing segment of the population that can no longer receive vote pandering financial assistance because there’s no more money to give. Of course we’re out of money now but many of those receiving federal government financial assistance don’t know that and their political benefactors want to keep it a secret for as long as they can. Going over the so called fiscal cliff now might in the longer run be what’s best for the country.

You seem very very invested in this idea of a “leech” relationship in our politics. Which is odd considering that you are looking in all the wrong places for the real leech-dom.
Maybe you’re building up a strong psychological defense against looking at where the real source of the leeching is coming from — which as everyone knows is from the top 1% of the plutocracy and their armies of lobbyists and political operative hangers-on and think tanks, who have been busy for the last 30 years redistributing wealth up the wealth ladder towards the very top, at everyone else’s expense, including YOU.
But if you admitted that grim truth to yourself, and the fact that there’s no easy way to do anything to reverse it, you would be hopelessly depressed. So instead you mouth silly rhetoric that gives you a short-term satisfaction, but in the end does nothing. Am I getting warmer?

A top Democratic official said talks have stalled on this question since Obama and congressional leaders had their friendly-looking post-election session at the White House. “Republicans want the president to own the whole offer upfront, on both the entitlement and the revenue side, and that’s not going to happen because the president is not going to negotiate with himself,” the official said. “There’s a standoff, and the staff hasn’t gotten anywhere. Rob Nabors [the White House negotiator], has been saying: ‘This is what we want on revenues on the down payment. What’s you guys’ ask on the entitlement side?’ And they keep looking back at us and saying: ‘We want you to come up with that and pitch us.’ That’s not going to happen.”

Hey “Thin Guy”, why don’t you quote the rest of what Hank said.
Here it is, from your very own Cracker News Service site:
“These corporations, along with the people they support, other millionaires who they’re putting into office, are stealing your government. They’re stealing the government and the U.S. Supreme Court was a big enabler with the Citizens United case,” Johnson said at the Annesbrooks HOA candidate Forum in Georgia in October.
“They control the patterns of thinking,” said Johnson. “They control the media. They control the messages that you get. So, you are being taught to hate your government–don’t want government, but keep your hands off of my Medicare by the way. I mean, we are all confused people and we’re poking fingers at each other saying, well you’re black, you’re Hispanic, immigration, homosexuals. You know, we’re lost on the social issues, abortion, contraception.
“And these folks,” Johnson said, “are setting up a scenario where they’re privatizing every aspect of our lives as we know it. So, wake up! Wake up! Let’s look at what’s happening. We need a constitutional amendment to allow the legislature to control the so-called free speech rights of corporations.”

As much as I like to see this GOP on the ropes, Jay, I’d much, much rather they learn to moderate and come to the center for all of us. It’s just the American way.
But first they’ll have to disavow Karl Rove and his quest for a permanent conservative majority and unwillingness to compromise, the Neocons and their might-makes-right, starve-the-beast mentality, and, yes, the party’s love of selfish white men, who still can’t believe they lost the election.
Then there’s Fox News that isn’t helping them any, and, of course, John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte (the three Muskathugs), John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Grover Norquist, Ayn Rand and her prophet Paul Ryan, the Tea Party, the Koch Brothers, and….My gosh, Jay, we’re talking about the whole damn party. Nevermind, sir!

That would be way more than the GOP’s leadership. Not to mention that Obama’s cabinet is made up of Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, male, and female members. That is much more of a representation of America than the GOP’s leadership version.

I am not on any sort of government welfare program or assistance, so when you say “you people”, who are you talking about? Why no mention of Republican voters who are on assistance. Oh, it doesn’t meet your narrative as long as you can say “well more Dem voters do it”………….
I do well for myself and always have, but thanks for your concern. I’d venture to say that I do better financially than some of the big talking right leaning bloggers who post here regularly. Do I know that for a fact? No, but it is my assumption.
When the economy collapsed in 07, did you look in the mirror and say you voted for it?
No you didn’t. You are one who likes to give credit when it meets your narrative and deflect when it doesn’t.

The defense contractors may be a different kettle of fish, I know someone in that industry and frankly this administration has put in so many regs they have a tough time. Please note i did not say that the $ is not there, it is such a hassel to write the contracts, comply with regs., etc.
personally I think this adminisration flew by the seat of it’s collective economic pants, but it DID fly. We’re not Spain or Greece or France (real trouble there).

I’m also so bewilderingly idiotic that I actually wonder if that one (1) woman who was captured on video that one (1) time carrying on a bit about car & mortgage payments is terribly representative of the actual reasons most Obama supporters carried with them into the voting booth.
Get this: I even wonder if out of all the conservative dipsh-ts who posted links to that bit of exuberance, if a single, solitary one of them ever took the time/trouble to see if anyone bothered to follow up with her, to see if she might actually be a perfectly normal, perhaps even hard-working and industrious woman, rather than some cartoon Negress beloved by sore losers.

Dems definitley have the ability to better market their position to the masses. “We have a problem but we are are going to make someone else pay for fixing it”. I read the lib portrayal of how “Republicans want to cut taxes for the wealthy” when they are actually saying we should leave tax rates the same for everyone. I believe everyone understands that raising taxes on that small group will not solve our country’s problems so what is the true Dem plan beyond that? I think the majority of Americans should be fearful of the loose Dem definitions of “wealthy” and “fair share” because someone who thinks they are solidly middle class today may find themselves defined as “wealthy” tomorrow and that they too somehow don’t pay their “fair share”. When we, as a country, decide that we have a common problem and a majority and targets a minority to bear the brunt to solve the problem we are in trouble. If taxes need to go up they should go up for everyone (not that I want to pay more in taxes) but hopefully the Dems will someday realize the simple fact that you can’t tax yourself to prosperity and that sometimes you have to put your credit card away.

She’s taking over from the one who just had harrassment charges leveled against him. How much do you wanna bet that they vote Democratic? How much of Lockheed Martin’s profits come from non-governmental contracts?
Why don’t you and others leave that poor-bashing bullsh*t alone? Government dependence goes on at all income ranges and for all kinds of reasons. To try to blame that stuff on poor people along is ignorant and incorrect. That does, however, shine a spotlight on those who tend to look down their noses at other for being “poor”.

This is great!
The year is 1956. With his Cabinet of 8 wealthy businessmen and a labor leader, Dwight Eisenhower had been taxing America’s wealthy at 92% rates for 4 years and said: “We are proud of and shall continue our far-reaching and sound advances in matters of basic human needs—expansion of social security—broadened coverage in unemployment insurance —improved housing—and better health protection for all
our people. We are determined that our government remain warmly responsive to the urgent social and economic problems of our people.”
Far from “strangling” the economy with “crushing” taxes on “job creators”, Eisenhower was able to report: “In four years we have achieved the highest economic level with the most widely shared benefits that the world has ever seen. We of the Republican Party have fostered this prosperity and are dedicated to its expansion and to the preservation of the climate in which it has thrived.”
When it was all said and done, America got a new Interstate Highway System, stayed in the Space Race, and fought the Cold War against Communism with those taxes – AND NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON COMPARED EISENHOWER TO MARX, LENIN OR HITLER.

@Another Steve:
The conservatives have lowered tax rates and increased military spending and that is where most of our problems lie. We only have to fine tune the safety net programs, but the problems is an agenda since the 1980s to STARVE GOVERNMENT. Who benefited? The rich. Remember the Robber Baron era from your high school history classes? We got away from that via progressive taxation and a strong middle class by the 1950s. We prospered. We also prospered when Clinton raised tax rates briefly.

Jesus h Christ where do people like u come from. and when business is paid by govt its usually for a given product or service. what product or service does a welfare leech give in return for his free shyte? gawd you make some asinine statements.

Republicans owe the re-election of Obama to the large turnout of the lower class. They feel the middle class still voted Republican. They have no plans to work on the lower class (that’s the 47% you know). Democrats (e.g. the diversified party) will fight to save Medicare and Social Security who benefit the white middle and upper class – and who voted for Romney (talk about irony). Lastly, what’s the big deal on raising taxes and those who make > $250K. The whole thing isn’t taxed at a higher rate. It’s only the income after $250K. It’s called a progressive tax system.

I’m sure the basic, moderate Republican is no more like the ultra right Republican that has taken over the party than I am Einstein, but this same Party says they alone are the Party of God, They alone are pro life, and only they alone can show the way. But here’s Thulsa calling living humans leeches. Is his Party really Pro life if they are willing to throw other living human beings out in the cold? What are these people supposed to do. Get a job? Good luck with that because the Party that will show us the way has cut educational programs to the bone and even if they didn’t, there are no jobs to be had. So call God fearing Christians of the Republican party wanting to hurt the living would be laughable if it wasn’t so terribly sad.

President Obama is likely to give in on select cuts that the antiqued white party’s mouthpieces have been telling them need to be cut for their own good including food stamps, medicare, medicaid, unemployment benefits, and retirement benefits for retired federal workers and veterans. After all, that is what Republicans want in exchange for the tax increases on the wealthy that are needed to help pay down their debt. It’s the least we can do for them.

I love how conservatives whine and rant about “less government” when they are often the biggest government takers in our poorer red states. The rich do the same whining, but how do you think they got rich? The government provided the framework,the workers, the federal aid,the infrastructure, you name it. But once they get rich, they act like all they need now to do is live in a walled, armed gated community a la South Africa and all is well.

Despite all the things Republicans are accussed of doing badly, many from the keyboard of this blogs author and followers, the Country remains almost divided in half as to political party preference.
To be back in power, all we Republicans have to do is a few things right and the balance shifts to us.
So, it is not the gloom and doom Jay and the Left wing propaganda machine puts forth. It’s still a matter of about three million votes in the right place.

“There can be no deal without rates on top earners going up,” said Carney, who reiterated that the president will not sign legislation that extends the Bush-era tax rates for the wealthy.
“This should not be news to anyone who was not in a coma during campaign season,” Carney said of the president’s stance on taxes.
I see a tax hike coming for everyone. So we’ll just go back to the Clinton tax rates. That’s good for the deficit.

Raising the rates on those over 250K can’t be anything other than symbolic as doing so is a drop in the bucket on fixing the problems. Never mind that doing so will also result in slower growth and less employment. What really matters is sticking it to the rich because they did not earn their money themselves.

Jay, we obviously disagree on Mrs Bachmann, and so do a majority of voters in Minnesota. That in itself is telling since she remains popular in very Liberal state.
Put the Bachmann reference aside and listen to Whittle. He hits it right on the money. I especially like the part about James Bond defending himself with a letter from the UN. Surely even you thinks that’s funny.

Why do people care so much about others wealth?!
Marietta Al, I think Willie Sutton answer *that* already. However…
I just don’t get it. Rich this poor that, who gives a @#$@#$?
I do. One’s net worth determines how secure one will be; it allows one to (for example) seek medical care when needed, to replace an old, polluting, gas-guzzling vehicle with a more earth friendly one, etc. These are to the nation’s overall benefit.
Who determines that someone is wealthy and has so much disposable income that they can afford more of their money to go to the government?
It is a judgement call, to be sure, but I think determining that those in the upper 2% or so of income earners, generally, are probably not going to be “punished” (to use your term) by a modest rate increase.
Why should one group of persons be punished while others not?
Echoing JHM @ 3.01–I think “punished” is a rather loaded term, so…
Can some responsible democrat answer these questions?
I think it would be irresponsible for me to answer that last one. But I tried my best on the rest.
I am right in the middle of the middle class by no means “rich” and I am totally for letting the rates for ALL go up out of principle (contrary to my party affiliation) and the SS 2% increase just to see the fixed income and lower income democrats squirm when they bring home 7-10% less of their income. Sometimes a hard lesson will prove a point.
Ok. Settle down a moment. Think. What point, pray tell, would that “hard lesson” prove?
Try this–are you familiar with the expression “cut off your nose to spite your face?” You make modestly-incomed people even LESS financially secure than they are, right now, and the economy will go into a tailspin. They are just beginning to spend money again, make their way in the world and buy houses, replace a crappy old car, etc. You want that to end, now? Why?
I am ok in principle with seeing my own taxes rise, and those on some lower-incomed folks rise as well, in a year or three. But it wouldn’t be to “teach them a lesson”, they’re already paying taxes.
(and by the way, I don’t know where you’re getting “7-10% less of their income”, that doesn’t sound like what’s been proposed for anyone.)

If we go over the fiscal cliff the first target for the public’s wrath would indeed focus Congressional Republicans but as the pain reaches out and touches everyone including those receiving government financial assistance I can guarantee you that Obama and every member of congress regardless of political stripes will all be sitting very uncomfortably on the hot seat.

I’d have to disagree, JohnnyReb. Bachmann got booted off the island by GOP voters very early, right after the Iowa caucuses, where she got a whopping 5 percent of the vote.
She went home to her district — a very Republican district that Romney carried by 15 points — and she won by a margin of 1.2 percentage points. But hey, if you want and Mr. Whittle want to make her the symbol of a good Republican, you go right ahead and do so.

If you want a new car or more security shouldn’t you worry about yourself first and foremost? If one proposes taxing wealthy more, income is just not a good indicator in my opinion (maybe net worth, but income is hogwash). The salesman making >250k this year may be out of a job next year.

Solution for Republicans (if they can muster it) is to have more moderate positions on just a few items.
1) Decry the part of the party that wants to rule by the church. Say that “Yes, government should stay out of the bedroom, so we agree that gay marriage is acceptable”, “abortion should be between her and her doctor only”, “some people feel that a fetus is not a person, so we will not legislate this based on a few people’s religion.”
2) Immigration: Recognize that a small percentage of racists have taken over a large part of the argument. Work toward a moderate stance that says “yes, minors who came over have done no wrong and should have a simple path to citizenship (read: DREAM Act).” “We helped create the environment for illegals to come in, so provide a path for them as well, and documenting them will get them to pay their fair share of taxes instead of hiding the income from the government.”
3) Recognize that poor people are people too. The perception is that Republicans are defending the robber barons. (Yes, I know they are NOT.) But since the perception is there, they need to show compassion, not just talk compassion. Which means having funding for government services that help people who are in unfortunate situations.
Because, if Republicans can act like good Americans, then more people would, you know, join them and vote.

If the election of 2012 taught us anything, it’s that non-whites and females are not only expected to hate white males, but are encouraged to do so. Especially by liberal white males like Jay Bookman.

The fundamental economic problem now is high unemployment. As we moved from manufacturing to a service economy labor has become the largest expense on the income statement for health care, insurance, banking, tech, and telecommunications. When times got tough these companies learned how to cut labor without significantly reducing productivity.
So what we need is a jobs bill with tax incentives: work force goes down, company pays more federal tax, work force goes up, company pays less tax. GDP and tax revenues increase while expenses from unemployment comp and Medicaid go down.
Japan hit debt of 200% GDP but still has good per capita income and only recently hit 4% unemployment!

As I recall, Reagan used the same justification in the 80s to retool factories and retrain the workers. Instead, corporate America used the windfall to float junk-bonds and using the proceeds did the leveraged buyout thingie, sold off the assets of the rust belt and eliminated thousands of career types offering “jobs” instead.

I think about the man from the Tea Party, somewhere in the mid west, who escorted the president around a campaign stop interrupting every sentence Obama made and demanding why the president had called him a terrorist, as he demonstrated being a terrorist. Or the US Congressman from South Carolina, who shouted out, in a State of the Union speech, liar, interrupting our president. The contempt these people have for our country to lack the grace of respect any representative of this country deserves.

Al, do you know what those rich playboy Kennedy’s family motto is?
To whom much is given, much is expected
This is the family who’s whole life follows this creed. They didn’t get the creed from the old robber (the patriach of the family), but from their mother, the family matriarch. A strong woman with strong ideals and a strong sense of right and wrong.
The Kennedy’s individually and together did these things for America:
*Sponsored the country’s first major job training program
*Started Special Olympics
*During his campaign, Kennedy had visited the rural poverty areas of Appalachia. ( A famous photo contrasts a handsome, well-polished Kennedy standing in front of a destitute Appalachian family on its front porch)18 Once elected, Kennedy created the Area Redevelopment Agency in 1961.19 This agency provided support in the form of loans, subsidies, and public works to local businesses in poverty areas such as Appalachia.
*Started ommunity Mental Health Centers Act was passed in 1963.20 This act provided federal funds to public or private nonprofit organizations for construction, and later staffing, of community mental health centers providing outpatient and prevention services.
*Started the Juvenile Delinquency and Youth Offenses Control Act
*The Kennedy Administration passed tax credits for business investment and increased business depreciation allowances.22 These policy changes, along with an income tax cut passed in 1964, contributed to the continued economic growth of the 1960s.

Funny, I don’t ever remember Jesus telling anybody to steal from others, give it to the poor, and call it charity. Do you have a reference?
The problem you continually have is you refuse to separate “needy” from “poor”. There is a huge difference and nobody has a problem helping the “needy”.

Most of the right’s complaints have nothing to do with honor; they are absorbed in selfishness and greed. You should not serve in the halls of Congress if you have no more control of your emotions than a 10 year old child. You should not be allowed a leadership position if your one trick is disrespect. It took awhile for the public to understand clowns are not what are needed in this area. You got to love America; it can’t be fooled by fools.

Not true. Gray Davis wanted to keep the extra money in the state’s coffers, the public wanted it back into their own hands. They started a massive drive to get Gray out and put someone in who’d do what they wanted. Hence Arnold. Arnold came in, did what the people wanted, and California damn near went bankrupt.

It’s amazing how the Republican party, home to the conservative Christian, worship the rich. It’s actually the anti-Jesus party now, Jesus reached out to the poor and the sick, and had not one nice thing to say about rich people. Republicans reach out to the rich and bash the poor and sick.
Right on the money.
Im often reminded of the story of the widow in the temple.
41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. 42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: 44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
Most Christians talk the talk.

High-fructose corn syrup linked to diabetes
Countries that mix high-fructose corn syrup into processed foods and soft drinks have higher rates of diabetes than countries that don’t use the sweetener, a new study shows.
The researchers found that countries using high-fructose corn syrup had rates of diabetes that were about 20% higher than countries that didn’t mix the sweetener into foods. Those differences remained even after researchers took into account data for differences in body size, population, and wealth.
But couldn’t that mean that people in countries that used more high-fructose corn syrup were just eating more sugar or more total calories?
The researchers say no: There were no overall differences in total sugars or total calories between countries that did and didn’t use high-fructose corn syrup, suggesting that there’s an independent relationship between high-fructose corn syrup and diabetes.
Not to mention obesity.

Breaking from Newsmax.com
Howard Dean: Let’s Go Over the Fiscal Cliff
Going over the fiscal cliff may not be such a bad thing after all, former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean claimed on Thursday.
He said ending the Bush-era tax breaks at the same time that $1.1 trillion is cut from the budget could be for the best in the long-term.
“We will get a lot more deficit reduction if we do the fiscal cliff,” the former Vermont governor said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “I actually think the markets will reward the fiscal cliff over a period.
“There will be some panic and some moaning and groaning, but the fiscal cliff is not a real cliff, it’s a slope, and you are going to get the biggest bang for the buck in terms of deficit reduction.”
Dean, who ran for the White House in 2004, said the economy will be able to withstand the effects of the cliff. “Yes, we will go into two quarters of recession,” he said.
“But we are in deep trouble here, somebody’s going to have to pay the bill and it is going to have to be all of us, and you get a much better tax bang if you go back to Bill Clinton’s tax rates.”
Despite his views, Dean said he believed the two parties in Washington will reach a deal to avoid the cliff.
“But the deal has to be the right deal,” he said. “And I still believe that it’s safer, if you’re on the progressive end of the political spectrum, to go over the fiscal cliff than it is to agree to some of the things they’re talking about.”
Dean said one of the advantages of going over the cliff would be that there would be some cuts in defense spending, which would not happen otherwise because “defense contractors are in practically every congressional district.”
He also said there would have to be some “cuts in human services,” which he didn’t like, but he accepted that “everyone is going to have to put something on the table here.”
Dean was adamant about one thing that should not be on the table: raising the Medicare-eligibility age, as that would make it virtually impossible for people aged 65 to 67 to get affordable health insurance. However, he said he had no objection to raising the retirement age when it came to Social Security.
And he said the other situation that must not be allowed to come to pass is an increase in tax rates now, with a promise of cuts to come. “This has to be a comprehensive package with spending cuts now — including entitlement cuts.”
Dean claimed that marginal tax rates have little to do with investment.
“If you go up to 70 percent, yeah, you’re talking some serious stuff that has something to do with investment, but what we’re talking about is a relatively minor adjustment from 35 percent to 39.6.”

That “lasting affiliation” will last only until the government runs out of money to supply their freebies, the economy tanks even more and the unemployment rate goes from its current 16% to 21%. No money, no jobs and a terrible economy will bring those voters with their “lasting affiliation” with the democrat party back to their senses and the Republican Party.

What “Free Trade” Actually Means
The theoretical definition of a “free market” is one in which every individual actor in the realm of exchange exists in a state of equality of opportunity; where all compete with one another to produce the best products at the cheapest prices for consumers, thus the most innovative and efficient producers succeed while others fail, unregulated – and unhelped – by the state. Within “free markets,” what we call “free trade agreements” are meant to reduce barriers such as tariffs, subsidies and regulations so that market “competitors” can freely move products and goods across borders and compete in an ever-expanding global “free market.”
The functional, or technical, definition of a “free market” is one in which the state regulates the market – the realm of economic exchange and activity – for the benefit of large transnational corporations and banks.
Barriers to profits, such as environmental, labor, safety and financial regulations, are dismantled. Meanwhile, subsidies and legal rights and protections are granted to major corporations, undermining competition and supporting monopolization. So while the rhetoric of “free markets” tends to be all about reducing state interference in the economy, in actuality state interference increases – but only for the benefit of large corporations and banks.
At the same time, state “interference” decreases in sectors that benefit the actual population, such as welfare, social services, pensions, healthcare, education, labor protections and so on. In the actual “free market,” these protections are dismantled, subjecting populations to “market discipline” quite unlike the large corporations and banks that receive direct protection against “market discipline.” The most obvious example of this is the post-2008 bank bailouts.
This is a great article that is worth your reading. I invite you to save it to your “favorites” or bookmark it and read it later. It really shows how the American public is getting screwed.

All this election proved was that your guy was better at painting Romney and the Republicans as a party of tired angy old white dudes (and you had some help from some very stupid comments made by both Romney and a couple of the senate candidates too). Unless your party puts up another cool balck dude, you may lose enough of the “cool” to find that we really aren’t the party you so desparately want us to be.

The United Nations voted overwhelmingly Thursday to recognize a Palestinian state, a long-sought victory for the Palestinians but an embarrassing diplomatic defeat for the United States.
The resolution upgrading the Palestinians’ status to a nonmember observer state at the United Nations was approved by a more than two-thirds majority of the 193-member world body — a vote of 138-9, with 41 abstentions.

“But even that won’t be enough to balance the budget next year. More bad assumptions – about how much the state could take from local redevelopment agencies, and about how much tax the newly enriched owners of Facebook would be paying the state – mean that there’s still a $2billion shortfall looming in the fiscal year that begins next July 1.
But that gap is tiny compared with the scope of the problem that legislators and the governor have been dealing with. And California’s usually sober legislative analyst has projected that in the year after next, a small surplus will sprout. And grow.
By 2018, the analyst says, current spending and revenue trends will combine to produce annual surpluses in the $9 billion range. And that’s after paying for caseload growth in health and public assistance programs, more inmates in the prison system and cost-of-living increases for the schools. In fact, the five-year estimate shows school funding growing by $13 billion even though enrollment will be essentially flat.”
by 2018.. it will be a surplus.. if they dont spend anymore.. if the collect the taxes they think they are.. lot of ifs…
btw..
“California raids special funds in attempt to fix budget
10 September 2012
The administration of California Governor Jerry Brown and the Democratic Party controlled legislature are intensifying the practice of raiding special funds, including some that provide vital services to Californians. The impact will be overwhelmingly felt among the working class and the poor.
For the past decade, and increasingly since the current financial crisis began in 2008, the California State Treasury has been heavily borrowing money from various special fund accounts to pay for schools, social services and prisons—programs and agencies that normally would have been paid for out of the state’s general fund through the collection of income taxes, sales and property taxes. The result is that the state now owes $4.3 billion to special fund accounts. This is more than five times the amount the state owed in 2008.”
this is addition to the massive pension bailout that is coming for california.. not to mention the healthcare costs for just retired state employees is billions.. but.. just sprinkle some of that obama dust on there and let someone else pay for it

Grassroots movements, including the Occupy protests demonstrated the power of an informed and empowered citizenry. And there is little doubt that they helped us non-Republicans have great success on November 6.
Or would it be more correct to say that the irrational and enraged over-reaction by the right wing reactionaries helped the GOP lose the election?
Either way, it is time to make it count. And to end economic injustice.
The US Congress has until December 31st to ask the richest 2% of Americans to pay their fair share. Or they can do what they have done historically – put even more money in wealthy pockets at the expense of middle class families who can barely make ends meet.
As I have written many times (hat tip Ralph Nader), there is much too much money and power in too few hands and the system is corrupted to keep it that way.
It’s time to level the playing field. It’s time to make things right for we the people who built this country.

I find it interesting that so many posters cannot stay on point with the subject of Bookman’s blog.
No one can deny significant demographic changes are re-shaping the country and the electorate. Either the Republicans find a compelling message or vision for the electorate or they will be increasingly marginalized.
If, as many conservatives believe, the new demographics reveal a “moocher” mentality, then the GOP needs to meet that mentality with facts and a plan, not “self-deportation”.
I for one challenge that premise but would accept it for argument’s sake. What will the GOP say or do with this demographic to win elections?

I’ve been struck by lightening….I was sitting at my typewriter one day (tells you how long ago THAT was!!) and talking on the telephone…the outside door was open and lightening struck the tree outside…the whole next few seconds was one of those “slow motion” things…the lightening balled and rolled through the door, and struck me. It went through me into the typewriter and ‘phone, killing them both but leaving me, well, stunned! There was no pain at all. But the most bizarre thing was the feeling in my mouth afterward. I was talking to a friend later who knows about these things and she told me that what had happened was that the strike had killed off the bacteria in my mouth and that what I was feeling was a clean mouth…probably the only time in my life I ever had one, metaphorically as well as literally…but she said had I not been on the phone and had my hands on the keyboard, it would probably have killed me…

Wow! I’ve never been that close. The closest I’ve ever come was lightening that struck near our house and the boom sounded like the end of the world…it was right over our roof. I had a friend tell me once that her house was struck…but when she described what happened it was even more shocking, so to speak. She went up in her “dog room” to check on some puppies that were in a portable pen, and when she touched it she said the house was struck. But what happened was that she was shocked, and thrown across the room. When she went outside to look for damage, the glass from the window in that room was in her driveway.
I said HON! Your house was not struck by lightening, it THREW OFF a bolt! So she got an electrician in and turned out her house was not grounded and it started the leader stroke and what she actually saw was the return stroke.

Yup.

In 97, when clinton backed the rate down to 20% cap gain revenues doubled. Same happened when Bush cut them to 15%…

My wife actually got shocked when she was around 7-8 months pregnant with our daughter. She just happened to have her hand on the dryer when a bolt struck nearby. I have never, in my life, heard a scream like that before, and I hope to never hear that again. It didn’t throw her, but it scared the crap out of her and the baby as she didn’t move for a good period of time. We went to the hospital and everything checked out ok, but I think it was hours before the baby moved again.

John Kenneth Galbraith on the “wisdom” of the Kennedy planned tax cuts of 1962:
“I was never as enthusiastic as many of my fellow economists over the tax reductions of last year. The case for it as an isolated action was undoubtedly good. But there was danger that conservatives, once introduced to the delights of tax reduction, would like it too much. Tax reduction would then become a substitute for increased outlays on urgent social needs. We would have a new and reactionary form of Keynesianism with which to contend.”
More prophetic words were perhaps never spoken in Washington.

If the GOP refuses to evolve, if they refuse to learn from their mistakes, if they continue their crusade against the rest of America and the world – and the evidence suggests that they are – they are going to become more and more and more marginalized.
He’d (JFK) be right at home in the Tea Party.

If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal,” then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.” ~John F.

And next they went after the 401k’s !
Why not, it’s not like the GOP hasn’t already attacked Social Security and my defined pension. Why would they not go after my TSP?

Well, once thing’s for sure…if you DO let her get elected it will be in the absolute certainty that she won’t be there long.

I don’t know where scout digs up this stuff but it makes absolutely no sense for either side to go after 401k’s, that’s not the problem.
Still, it’s the first I’ve heard of that, where’s rumor control these days???

Meh, at this point Americans deserve whatever they get. Tax those making over 250,000$ at 50% and you still won’t solve the deficit issue. Eventually, spending will have to be cut and unfortunately things are going to have to get a whole lot worse before people realize this.

Deficits?
Which brings us to the economic level. The deficits that Bush ran up in the years in which the country was teetering on the verge of a serious recession had the beneficial effect of righting the economy. In that sense, deficits not only didn’t matter, but were a force for economic good.

When someday in the future the government mandates by law that 401k’s be merged into social security under their control just remember there will be no “exemption” for liberals.

Just glancing at the photos, of the gang of nineteen, I noticed that several had forgotten their flags. RINO’s? One had his hair parted on the wrong side. Gay perhaps? With the exception of the Eddie Munster look alike, dead center, I couldn’t identify any of those dudes. It’s said that people vote for people they wouldn’t mind sharing a couple of beers with. If so, I get the sense that these guys are in serious trouble. Americans are a tolerant bunch. we’ll overlook little things like Skin pigmentation, gender even sexual orientation. However we draw the line at boring. There are things that even a tolerant people won’t tolerate.

Actually, I’ve been saying for years now that as long as the House remains in GOP hands and Obama’s re-elected, I assume they WILL impeach Obama, given that this party has already dumbed down the definition of a “high crime and/or misdemeanor” to “lying about an affair.” So why not go there again?

Speaking of impeachment, Scout has a list of 5 impeachable offenses that he won’t share with us, though it’s been a few years since he told that particular lie… I’m sure the list is much longer now.
