Mittens won by a wisker. Next on to NH where he will romp. The question is if Santorum can get any support there since he spent almost all his time in Iowa.
The subject of this posting ,Gingrich got hammered and is not a happy camper . He plans on going negative on Romney . Watch his numbers in South Carolina to see if he can rebound. |

No . There are other credible conservatives that would balance the ticket better ,and Bachmann is needed in the House to keep Speaker Bonehead in line .
Besides ,I am not one that says it is a given that Romney will win. I am a bit surprised he did as well as he did in Iowa. But if Santorum plays this smart ;his showing yesterday can take him a long way. I'm also not one who thinks it urgent for the Republicans to rush to a decision. I think the knock down battle between Evita and the President was a good thing for the President and the Dems. They kept their message in the forefront all spring of 2008 going into the conventions. Looking forward to the next debate. The moderators will no longer be able to ignore Santorum. |

On this discussion I identified Santorum as my favorite remaining candidate.
https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/curren...ld-618297.html I will be glad to have a discussion on his policy positions. I imagine that he will at least initially have to fend off charges from the right that he is not conservative enough. Later the left will chime in that he is too extreme right winged. |

Hello again, tom:
“One of the things I will talk about, that no president has talked about before, is I think the dangers of contraception in this country. Many of the Christian faith have said, well, that's okay, contraception is okay. It's not okay. It's a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.” I wonder what he really means when he said things are "counter to how things are supposed to be". Don't you?? He's certainly an adherent to Intelligent Design as opposed to evolution.. Maybe he thinks medicine should be practiced the way it was BEFORE biology. Seems like this small government conservative wants the government IN every bedroom in the country... I'm a small government liberal. We can't let this koo koo get his hands on the levers and buttons of government... But, he'll self destruct on his own. excon |

Wow Ex I never took you for a conservative and yet you have a more conservative position than the candidate.
Do you think that because the candidate has a position on right to life, etc that this disqualifies him from government. On the contrary being up front about his views should commend him. You know where he stands. You also know where he stands in respect of religion. Should this also disqualify him? Democracy allows him to have this opinion and yet because a President doesn't make the laws he can still be representative of the people. |

Yep and that's his game plan, bash the Republicans. He made another strategic and probably unconstitutional move yesterday by making 4 "recess" appointments - 3 of whom had been submitted to the Senate only 3 weeks ago - even though the senate isn't in recess, precisely so he can keep painting Republicans as do-nothing obstructionists. But hey, since you can't run on your record...

Hello again, Steve:
Nahhh.. Obama has got this one in the bank. You DO know that our beloved Constitution gives the president the POWER to make recess appointments. IF the congress is REALLY in recess, and they're opening and closing sessions simply to PREVENT the president from performing a Constitutional duty, then I'd say the congress is performing a SHAM upon the American people and the courts WILL agree. excon |

Hello again,
WOULD I BE WILLING to continue to have Muslim children slaughtered by covert drones and cluster bombs, and America's minorities imprisoned by the hundreds of thousands for no good reason (drug war), and the CIA able to run rampant with no checks or transparency, and privacy eroded further by the unchecked Surveillance State, and American citizens targeted by the President for assassination with no due process, and whistleblowers threatened with life imprisonment for “espionage,” and the Fed able to dole out trillions to bankers in secret, and a substantially higher risk of war with Iran (fought by the U.S. or by Israel with U.S. support) IN EXCHANGE FOR less severe cuts to Social Security, Medicare and other entitlement programs, the preservation of the Education and Energy Departments, more stringent environmental regulations, broader health care coverage, defense of reproductive rights for women, stronger enforcement of civil rights for America's minorities, a President with no associations with racist views?? No, I would NOT. I've said before that the ONLY reason to reelect Obama is for the SCOTUS appointments he's going to make.. Now, I believe Ron Paul would appoint Supreme Court Justices that I would LOVE. That's why HE'S the best guy for the job. excon |

I really think it's time to change the Constitution . Either the President doesn't need advise and consent or he does.
Recess appointments had validity in the horse and buggy days. But all they are today is a means to bypass the legitimate role of the Senate. And yes the move by Obama is unconstitutional . But no one will do anything about it . The President likes to make decisions and let the law catch up with him. |
