Your morning jolt: David Koch favors gay marriage, says tax increases may be necessary
TAMPA – As the Republican presidential ticket of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan jetted away, this bombshell was making the rounds, courtesy of Politico.com:
Billionaire industrialist David Koch, who is helping steer millions of dollars to elect Mitt Romney and congressional Republicans, on Thursday [said] he disagrees with the GOP’s stance on gay marriage and believes the U.S. needs to consider raising taxes to balance the budget….
Koch said he thinks the U.S. military should withdraw from the Middle East and said the government should consider defense spending cuts, as well as possible tax increases to get its fiscal house in order — a stance anathema to many in the Republican Party.
“I think it’s essential to be able to achieve spending reductions and maybe it’s going to require some tax increases,” he said. “We got to come close to balancing the budget; otherwise, we’re in a terrible deep problem.”
***
Whether you loved it or hated its message, cherish the fact of this Republican National Convention that just ended, because it may be the last of its kind that you see. The major TV broadcast networks, despite their waning power, have successfully dictated a new length to the major political parties – they’ll serve as unpaid venues for Democratic and Republican commercials for three days, and no longer.
And only one hour each day. It was the latter time restriction that got Republicans into trouble last night. Rather than lean on some very effective, very emotional testimony of Mitt Romney’s personal friends, the campaign leaned on Clint Eastwood, the “mystery guest” touted through the week by the campaign, to quickly create a large audience at the front of that hour – with the hope that viewers would hang on to see the presidential candidate accept his nomination.
In that sense, however bizarre Eastwood’s act was, the strategy may have succeeded.
***
Where GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan delivered angry attacks a night earlier, Mitt Romney on Thursday had the air of a father demanding the car keys from a teenaged Barack Obama who had broken curfew:
I wish President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed. But his promises gave way to disappointment and division.
And if you didn’t choke up at the story of George Romney and the daily rose he gave his wife, you’re not human. But this may have been Romney’s most effective line for wooing independents:
You know there’s something wrong with the kind of job he’s done as president when the best feeling you had was the day you voted for him.
According to my AJC colleague Daniel Malloy, Georgia delegates leaving the Tampa Bay Times Forum for the last time liked the approach:
“I think it really energized the base,” said Joseph Gullett, chairman of the Paulding County Republican Party. “Hopefully it energized people who weren’t Romney supporters before. It shows his direction about the issues.”
Perhaps the most striking aspects of the speech were personal ones, when Romney talked about raising his children and choked up when discussing his late parents.
Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens said the address showed “the real part of Romney that has not been displayed — the man that loves others that’s willing to give himself.”
Hudgens added: “I couldn’t have said what he said without choking up. It made me realize how real he is.”
Bill Knowles, of Macon, said that as compared with the 2008 Republican Convention, this event was crisp and focused on the economy. Yet he was impressed that Romney covered a wide range – both policy-wise and personally.
“There was some humor; there was emotion; it was a well-rounded speech,” Knowles said. “Romney is not the bombastic Chris Christie type. He’s more intellectual. He’s a passionate speaker, and that’s what came through.”
***
Here at the Tampa Bay Grand Hyatt, our difficult neighbor has just left.
Reporters covering the Georgia delegation, which is housed here, have been relegated to a cluster of cabanas that are on the Hyatt property, but are about a quarter-mile away from the huge hotel.
It would be rude to suppose that the distance was meant to allow Georgia Republicans to party without fear of observation.
But there was an advantage. The cabanas are apparently where the hotel prefers to house guests with pets, or guests who smoke. For the past five days, we have entertained U.S. House Speaker John Boehner as a neighbor. He didn’t have a dog.
The first tip-off was the Mini Cooper with the “Boehner for Speaker” bumper sticker. The second was the full-throated U.S. Secret Service protection.
But this must be said: There was no loud music, no empties left on the lawn. And except for the fact that, while fetching ice, one was required to keep hands in sight at all times, the neighborhood was a very safe place to stroll – any hour, day or night.

The “right” wing-nuts are taking the nation right off that fiscal cliff THEY insisted on setting up rather than even consider compromise. As a PERCENTAGE OF INCOME, the wealthies among us do NOT pay more than the EMPLOYEE CLASS of American –who are the majority of Americans.
This progressive Independent is too conservative on some issues to be considered a democrat; however, rather than put the zealots and neocons in charge, in THIS election, I am very likely to vote for the Dems straight ticket. That said, Georgia, loaded w/bible belt zealots, will likely follow the GOP “right” off that cliff.
The GOP which I supported no longer exists; now the phrase, “smaller, less intrusive government” to today’s GOP ONLY applies to profit$ and the unfettered pursuit thereof.
To anyone actually paying attention, Romney all but said we would be fighting Iran under a Romney Administration, which, like his campaign, will likely be infested w/Bush era neo-con advisors.
If we go to war, we need to win it, NOT BUSH IT.
Bush invaded not one but two countries (for lies, revenge and oil) and in both he pursued a doomed attempt to “liberate” primitives from their own theocratic mindset (”win hearts and minds”) — WITHOUT first either winning militarily or via surrender, Bush GAVE AWAY the hard-fought gains of our troops to corrupt local officials and began throwing money at war profiteers, US and foreign, to rebuild both other nations, while giving away our own nations economic security here at home and making people all over the world trust and respect us less. Those Bush era neo-cons are all still very much aboard the Romney Ryan GOP train wreck seeking to lead us headlong into fulfilling that religious zealots’ self-fulling prophecy of Armageddon. The US does NOT need and may well not even be able to survive another religous zealot as “Commander In Chief”.
We’ve tried two “Bush wars”; in net value to our nation, they have been abysmal failures. If we must fight again in the mideast, the wars need to be to DEFEAT the enemy NOT to try to liberate them from their own chosen primitive mindset.
The next president will very likely determine the future of the Supreme Court that will determine our individual liberty (”free will”) and equal right under law for generations to come.
We DO NOT NEED any more religious zealots of ANY flavor in the White House or on the US Supreme Court. Our individual liberty depends upon preventing it. Our national security depends upon preventing it.
Romney professes to respect women and diversity but, in exchange for the zealot vote, he has made it clear he is all too willing to deny people their own “free will” — individual liberty — to make their own reproductive and lifestyle choices, denying them equal right under law.
Job ONE for Romney would be to get re-elected. Giving him the authority to give away our individual liberty and equal right under law to do that would be a serious error in judgment.

Is You @ 4:31 & 4:44, The Bible is capitalized. Where is the passage you referred to as gay marriage being unnatural? What God explicitly said was that homosexuality is an abomination. He is quoted several times.
Liberals will bash Christians no matter what we say. If Christians follow God’s assessment that homosexuality is an abomination, liberals will call us homophobes. If Christians don’t follow God’s teachings, liberals will call us hypocrites.
Thanks for all your research to prove me correct. My goodness! Has it been over 7 months since I’ve blogged? Hope that guy has dried out by now.
They call themselves progressives. That sounds better than Marxists, communists, nationalists, statists, etc. What they are NOT are believers in the free market, that is, freedom. Yes, there is not a doubt in my mind that they are out to destroy America.

The politician will always want more. More money for more programs for more people, blah, blah, blah. It’s a liberal crock! The bottom line with liberalism is “Everything in the state, nothing outside the state”. This can only happen as the government usurps more and more power from the states and the people. Currently, the government is working to enslave citizens with debt by allowing state run universities to raise tuition to the point were almost no one can afford a college education with incurring serious debt.
You can begin to change this in November. Don’t vote for ANY incumbent no matter what they claim. This system must change if America is to remain a free country!

I’m proud of my 12 years of perfect attendance pins in Sunday School, thanks to my mother, bless her soul, who made sure we attended church during the few family visits across state lines that we could afford. Did you miss a few classes?
I’ve read Matthew upteen times. What did I miss?
Labor unions & their cronyism with Democrats have caused most of the corporate bankruptcies in the US over the years & are the greatest threat today to the states & municipalities, who are at the edge, over a trillion dollars worth plus the post office. We no longer need unions in 2012 & have never needed them in govt., according to FDR.

You help define why our country is a place celebrating ‘freedom from religion’ and why there is a clear wall of separation between church and state. Obviously, being in church every time the door is open teaches one how to think with a closed mind and how to be divorced from reality.

Anyway, two pages of pontificating and I want to put a couple of questions on the table.
What legitimate reasonable arguments would prevent returning to the pre-2000 Federal Tax Tables (and even treat every penny received equally as ‘income’).
What justification is there for continuing Military Industrial Complex spending at more than 60% of current levels? As a follow up, what American Citizen Interests would be diminished if 60% off offshore bases and deployments were eliminated post haste?
And, as always, Obama-Biden 2012!

Without complete ‘freedom from religion’ there is no possibility of ‘freedom of religion’.
One need look no farther than most Gulf States (including Israel) to find adequate proof.
To find one’s way to ‘hell’ first there would need to be a place known as ‘hell’. Of course, since it is another invention of the societal control mechanism known as ‘religion’ it has no value to American discourse.

“American discourse” is no longer possible. The battle lines have been drawn and there will be no retreat and no surrender. Whatever you call yourselves (liberal/progressive/socialist/communist), you have chosen a leader and a path which unimpeded will destroy America. You would weaken us militarily making us vulnerable to our enemies. Failing that method of destruction, you will stand by and cheer as your leader dismantles this country bit by bit ending with the collapse of the financial system. You buy into the class warfare rhetoric and watch gleefully at the hatred fomented by your so-called leader against anyone who is financially better off than you despite the ability, education, efforts, sacrifice and work ethics that afforded them that success. The truly sad part of this is that the suffering you would bring about would affect those who defy the destruction of this country as well as yourselves.
This election is the most crucial in American history. The outcome will determine whether America continues to exist as a nation. It is an election that conservatives cannot and will not lose.
As far as you (whatever term you use to describe yourselves), as Forrest said, “Stupid is as stupid does”, or better still, “You can’t fix stupid”.

So, we can now suppose – with your understanding – that the Anointed One does “think with a closed mind and (is) divorced from reality. I guess you’re right once again.

ld @ 4.52p; Other than an obvious (additional) oxymoron – “progressive independent”, I have no quarrel with your post aside from general disagreement with much of it. You are one with whom I and others can carry on a civil debate with. When a conservative blogs on the Galloway blog, they are suspect (self included unfortunately) of being without morals and brains if they dare to profess a belief in smaller government, lower taxes, freedom to excel and a great host of other generally right of center ideas.
The Republican view is, of course, bolstered by a constant barrage of negativity from all 3 major networks in addition to BSNBC, CNN and lord knows how many internet websites. It’s no wonder a lot of people feet the way they do about conservatives. I watched the major networks for many years and all I saw was conservative bashing until I happened upon FOX News and finally got a chance to see “the other side of the story (with a hats off to Paul Harvey).
My main concern, when all hyperbole and one-sided rhetoric is peeled away is the fact that this government (now) is borrowing almost 1.4 trillion dollars per year over expenditures – with 40% being used to pay the interest on borrowed money. The Anointed One wants to raise taxes (on the rich whoever they may be) and cut spending. That is a fallacy and you (and others) know it. If every “rich person” paid an additional 50% of their earned income it would still leave an unsustainable debt… There would have to be cuts. The Anointed One wants to cut military spending only with little else on the plate, and refuses to ever discuss the possibility of perhaps cutting a bloated government payroll, Social Security shrinkages, Medicare, etc.
I think I can say without reservation that most Americans (including the “progressives”) believe that even if taxes are raised prohibitively high and spending is cut (prohibitively), The Anointed One will still waste money on pet projects, buying votes from the union and satisfying a myriad of splinter groups – enough to ensure that he and the Progressives remain in power ad infinitum
