Rick Santorum is anything but a conservative. Just consider his record, which includes:

*** Padding his own wallet as a corporate lobbyistat the expense of taxpayers;
*** Voting to RAISE the debt ceiling five times;
*** Voting to DOUBLE the federal Department of Education;
*** Voting with liberals like Ted Kennedy on multiple occasions in support of Big Labor's radical agenda;
*** Urging more federal involvement in housingwith Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac;
*** Voting to create a brand new, unfunded entitlement, Medicare Part D, the largest expansion of entitlement spending since President Lyndon Johnson - creating $16 TRILLION in unfunded liabilities;
*** Endorsing liberal Big Government RINOs like Arlen Specter over conservatives. Of course, Specter later became a Democrat and worked hand-in-glove with President Obama to pass his radical agenda;
*** Voting for Sarbanes-Oxley, which imposed dramatic new job-killing accounting regulations on businesses;
*** Supporting raising taxes on oil companies, which directly costs Americans more money out of their pockets at the gas pump;
*** Voting for gun control;
*** Voting to give Social Security benefits to illegal aliens, while voting against an additional 1,000 border patrol agents;
*** Voting to give $25 million in foreign aid to North Korea;
*** Voting to send hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood- the nation's largest provider of abortion - and hand out hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign aid to enemies of Israel.

But unlike many of my other establishment opponents, Rick Santorum isn't even trying to sweep his Big Government record under the rug.

He's proud of it!

"We need a real conservative, not a counterfeit!"

Unfortunately, as many voters are now finding out, "politics as usual" is really what every other Republican alternative to Mitt Romney besides you is all about.

Rick Santorum not only marched in lockstep with union bosses when he was in the Senate, but he helped keep workers under Big Labor's thumb and the money flowing to Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barack Obama by voting to kill the National Right to Work Act.

He voted to create a brand new, unfunded entitlement, Medicare Part D, the largest expansion of entitlement spending since President Lyndon Johnson - creating $16 TRILLION in unfunded liabilities.

He voted with senators like Barbara Boxer and Frank Lautenberg to pass massive new federal gun control schemes and regulations.

And he rescued pro-abortion Arlen Specter from the jaws of defeat in the 2004 Senate Primary – later ensuring President Obama's 60th vote for his ObamaCare scheme.

America can't afford any more counterfeit "conservatives" like Rick Santorum.

That is put out by Newt....not saying it isn't true it is, but Newt is still a Newt!!!! He is bought and paid for by the Corporations as well...5 million from Adelson helped by this ad

Meet the White Obama

Kurt Nimmo

January 11, 2012

Mitt Romney, the establishment declared GOP front-runner, is the white Obama. He earns this title because on crucial issues he mirrors Barack Obama. Consider:



Climate agenda and carbon taxes:

He has stated that the theory of anthropogenic global warming is real. In 2005, as governor of Massachusetts, Romney imposed strict state limitations on carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. In a memo issued by Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor Kerry Hale, the Romney administration bragged that it was “the first and only state to set CO 2 emissions limits on power plants.”

In short, Romney did what Obama’s EPA wants to do now. It is revealing that Romney was advised on this drastic step by none other than Obama’s chief science adviser, John Holdren.

In his book, No Apology, Romney advocates carbon taxes through a “tax-swap plan” and declares that resultant “higher energy prices would encourage energy efficiency.” The plan is favored by economist and Romney adviser Greg Mankiw and many other “Republican-leaning economists.” In 2007, Mankiw wrote an op-ed for the New York Times entitled “One Answer to Global Warming: A New Tax.” He wrote that “if we want to reduce global emissions of carbon, we need a global carbon tax.”

Obama also wants to push a carbon tax on the American people and declared his intention to do so before he took office. “President elect Barack Obama used his speech at a Los Angeles summit last night to reinvigorate a push for the revival of a frightening proposal to slash carbon emissions by 80 per cent, a move that would inflict a new Great Depression, cost millions of jobs, and sink America to near third world status,” Paul Joseph Watson wrote on November 19, 2008.

Obama’s agenda to cut carbon emissions by 80 per cent fits right into the globalist plan to attain the ultimate civilization-killing goal of zero carbon emissions, as espoused by the Carnegie Institute.

Romneycare:

In December, Romney told Fox News that he stands by the health care at gunpoint plan implemented while he was governor of Massachusetts. “The plan is not perfect, there are things that I’d change in it, but I’ll stand by the things we’ve done,” he said, defending the plan.

Obama and the Democrats were so enthralled with Romney’s statist health care boondoggle, they based their plan on it.

“Newly obtained White House records provide fresh details on how senior Obama administration officials used Mitt Romney’s landmark health-care law in Massachusetts as a model for the new federal law, including recruiting some of Romney’s own health care advisers and experts to help craft the act,” NBC reported last October.

Abortion:

Like a good Demopublican, Romney supported a woman’s “right” to kill her fetus – that is before, as a “conservative,” he changed his mind – or as it is usually called, he flip-flopped on the issue.

He was so adamant about abortion, he attended a Planned Parenthood fundraiser in 2004, but now supports the Pence amendment sponsored by Indiana Republican Rep. Mike Pence aimed at eliminating all Title X grants for Planned Parenthood. He even instituted tax-funded abortion on demand two years after his orchestrated “pro-life” conversion.

Obama, of course, is “pro-choice” and has appointed a number of outspoken pro-abortion advocates to his administration. If elected, no doubt Romney will do the same.

Illegal immigration:

Mitt claims to oppose illegal immigration, but does not advocate sending illegals back – or, apparently, even arresting them for breaking the law.

“Those people that are here illegally today should have the opportunity to register and to have their status identified,” he said in November.

He said nothing about illegal immigrants paying back taxes, learning English, not having criminal records, or being deported and going through legal channels for immigration.

Romney sounds a lot like Obama, who said: “I think most Americans feel there should be an orderly process to do it. People shouldn’t just be coming here and cutting in front of the line essentially and staying without having gone through the proper channels.”

Mitt Romney is basically indistinguishable from Obama and supports the same globalist agenda, albeit with “conservative” flourishes. His flip-flopping on key issues is designed to make his pre-arranged agenda more palatable to so-called conservatives, who will naturally be hoodwinked as they are every election cycle.

If elected, Romney will become the white Obama. The only job requirement will be an ability to convincingly read a teleprompter and follow orders handed down form his globalist masters the same as his predecessor.

Ron Paul is the most dangerous man in the Republican party

In the wake of his second-place showing in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday night, Texas Rep. Ron Paul declared: “We are dangerous to the status quo of this country”.

He’s right. And that could be a very bad thing for a Republican party hoping to take back the White House this November.

&ltp&gtYour Browser DoesNot Support IFrames.&lt/p&gt
A look at exit polling from New Hampshire suggests that Paul has a significant — and steady — following that exists almost entirely apart from the Republican party and is, in many ways, based on a disgust with the GOP.

Two numbers from the exit polls jump out.

1) Almost seven in ten people who voted for Paul on Tuesday in New Hampshire said they would be “dissatisfied” if former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney was the Republican nominee.

2) Fully 78 percent of Paul’s New Hampshire support came from those who are dissatisfied or angry with the Obama administration — not surprising given the low regard in which the current president is held by Republicans. But, consider this: 77 percent of Paul’s Granite State supporters in 2008 were similarly upset with the Bush administration. In fact, half of all Paul’s votes four years ago came from voters downright “angry” with Republican president.

Combine those two data points with the fact that Paul’s vote total more than tripled between 2008 (18,308 votes) and 2012 (56,000 votes and counting) and it’s clear that the Texas Republican’s support is not only primed and ready to follow him wherever he leads but it is also growing.

That double-barreled dose of reality leads naturally to a discussion of a possible third party bid in 2012 by Paul. He’s been asked any number of times about it and always demurs, insisting that it’s nothing he’s planning on doing. (In an interview with Fox News Channel’s Greta van Susteren Monday, Paul said: “That thought doesn’t cross my mind. I’m not thinking in those terms.”)
We believe him. But, circumstances change.

Imagine this scenario: Between now and Super Tuesday — March 6 — Romney wins enough primaries that he becomes the de facto nominee. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum and the rest of the field bows to the inevitable and gets out. Paul, on the other hand, stays in the race — continuing to accrue delegates and strengthen his negotiating position for a larger voice in the party (if that’s what he wants).

The Republican party will then be faced with a choice. Do they bow to Paul’s demands — a speaking slot at the convention or perhaps more? — or do they simply ignore him in hopes he goes away.

If the party takes the latter course, Paul may well adjust his thinking on a third party bid. (Remember, he has already done it once: he ran as the Libertarian Party’s presidential nominee in 1988.)

And, some of his rhetoric on Tuesday night certainly suggested that Paul viewed his candidacy as the leading edge of a much larger movement. “I think the intellectual revolution that’s going on now to restore liberty in this country is well on its way, and there’s no way they’re going to stop the momentum that we have started,” he said.

Should Paul decide that his cause is best championed via a third party bid for president, the impact would be disastrous for Republicans next fall.

How disastrous? Take a look at the Washington Post/ABC News poll conducted in mid-December. In it, President Obama and Romney are tied at 47 percent in a traditional two-way race. Add Paul in as a third party candidate and Obama takes 42 percent, Romney 32 percent and Paul 21 percent. That’s a pretty stark difference in potential outcomes.

There is one x-factor that may lead Paul to accept a negotiated detente with the GOP rather than go to all-out war as a third party candidate. And that x factor’s name is Rand Paul, the Kentucky Republican senator and son of Ron Paul.

It’s no secret that Rand, who was elected to the Senate in 2010, has national ambitions. (There was even some talk he might run instead of his dad in this election.)

A Ron Paul third party bid in 2012 would almost certainly tank Rand’s chances of being taken seriously as a candidate for the Republican nomination in 2016 or 2020 (or maybe ever). The Paul forces know that and it may ultimately be a major reason why Ron Paul decides that a deal with the establishment is the more prudent course of action.

Make no mistake: What Ron Paul decides to do over the next few months will be watched with a mixture of fascination and trepidation by the political world. And that makes him the most dangerous man in (and to) the Republican party.

Ron Paul is the most dangerous man in the Republican party - The Washington Post

A Gentle Voice of Reason for America

by Eric Margolis
Recently by Eric Margolis: We Don’t Need an Endless State of War With North Korea

America has come back, at least politically, to where it was in the far-off 1950’s when Communist-scares and the American fascism of Wisconsin Senator Joe McCarthy kept the republic in a state of anxiety and deep fear.

"Reds under our beds" was the slogan in those days of paranoia and witch-hunting. Today, the new scare mantra is: "Muslims under our mattresses," and "Iran threatens the world."

In the McCarthy era, the Republican Party was run by East Coast moderate conservatives from New York, Boston and Washington who were well educated and worldly. McCarthy was a GOP black sheep from the political badlands of the deep Midwest.

The Soviets and their fellow travellers were a real danger in that era, but not to the absurd degree of McCarthy’s fevered claims. But for a while, his anti-Communist campaign intimidated America and held it in thrall. Being accused of pro-Communism was then as ruinous a charge as being called "pro-terrorist" today.

The Republican elite eventually became sickened by McCarthy’s lies and alarms that the government was filled with Communists and Soviet spies, and worried that they were fast losing control of the party to the populist McCarthy. Sixty years later, the GOP indeed fell under control of the rural heartland.

In recent months, we have witnessed the rebirth of McCarthyism in the Iowa presidential caucusas five Republican candidates struggled to outdo one another in warning of the perils of Iran and Islam – the new Red Menace.

The only Republican candidates who spoke responsibly about US foreign policy were Congressman Ron Paul and former Ambassador Jon Huntsman.

The other Republicans issued blood-curdling threats against Iran, and salaamed Israel without relent, and called for continued US domination of the globe.

They clearly didn’t care about the ghastly image of war mongering and imperialism they were projecting abroad. Prostituting oneself to special political interests may have been good politics in rural Iowa, but it was and remains bad, bad medicine for the nation these politicians claim to represent.

President Barack Obama has caused great disappointment abroad by following many of George Bush’s aggressive policies, but at least he somewhat improved America’s tattered global image. Now, the Republican far right has largely undermined this improved image and has sparked a resurgence of anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism in many nations.

Over the past 30 years, the Republican rightwing has become joined at the hip with Israel’s hard right Likud Party. Hence the emergence of so-called "Christian Zionists" who are cynically exploited by Israel’s rightwing Likud Party even though a generation ago the fathers of these Christian militants may have belonged to the racist, violently anti-Semitic Ku Klux Klan.

In short, fertile ground for the Republican party’s far right. We are reminded of the great American writer Upton Sinclair, who wrote in the 1930’s "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross."

The calm, reasoned, sensible words of candidate Ron Paul were barely heard thanks to a conspiracy of silence by the mainstream media which bitterly opposes his calls for an end to foreign wars and big government built on a mountain of debt.

No wonder. The 76-year-old Dr Paul speaks for many Americans, particularly younger ones, who are sick of war, propaganda, the growing police state, and seeing government dominated by Wall Street and special interests.

Dr. Paul asked me to Washington to brief him on Afghanistan. After, I wrote that Paul was the most honest and bravest political leader I’d met in Congress.

Dr. Paul’s strong finish sends a potent message of anti-war, rebellious sentiment to Washington and to President Barack Obama.

Obama’s stealthy signing of a bill over Christmas that allows the Pentagon to indefinitely lock up American citizens accused of "terrorism" without trial has deeply alarmed many Americans. Even George W. Bush didn’t do this.

Mitt Romney seems likely to win the GOP’s reluctant nomination. He looks as believable as the old Camel billboard in Times Square of a man blowing smoke rings. But compared to his rivals on the right, notably the mountebank Gingrich and the odious Santorum, he seems the sole hold-your-nose choice.

Except, of course, the soft-spoken Dr. Paul. The Republican establishment continues to look over its shoulder in fear of the good doctor. Paul’s powerful placing in conservative Iowa shows that his call for a return to traditional American political and economic values has great resonance among many Americans, young and old.

When my non-North American readers write to express their dismay, or even horror, at the current stable of GOP candidates and their imperialist bombast, I remind them that there is a real American running for president who inspires admiration rather than contempt or fear.

The Last Republican Flavor of the Week. The New GOP Stunt Dummy: Gov. John Huntsman

The republicans are running out of stunt dummy candidates trying to defeat Ron Paul. There is no more idiots to prop up against the Texas congressmen. Just like Rick Santorum, John Huntsman was barely on the radar in the polls and all of sudden he gets 17 percent of the vote. I believe most of the votes belonged to Ron Paul. Not John Huntsman. Election fraud being commited trying to keep Ron Paul down. The former Utah governor was part of Obama's diplomatic corps being Ambassador to China. A very prestigious position to have.

The republicans are running out of losers. Everyone they try to prop up, gets politically destroyed. Herman Cain was first to fall, Gingrich destroyed himself. Santorum flip flops, Perry did not get off the ground, Bachman could not get any traction from the start. They are all toast never to be revived. Now John Huntsman is the new establishment's stunt dummy to put out there as the candidate that can beat Obama. Well he is Obama, because he was appointed by the President to serve as a diplomat.

Gov Rick Perry who is the only sitting governor who is still in office in the republican field. He is so compromised by corruption. he does not know or is too scared. He could have demonstrated leadership standing up to the EPA trying to shut down coal power plants and the refineries in Texas. Last years rolling blackouts, Gov Perry was nowhere to be found. If the Texas Governor stood up to the President and the EPA protecting the Texas economy and power grid. That would have surged his poll numbers just doing his job. Preaching against gay marriage and all these gimmicks on social issues are more of a liability of no relevance to the more pressing issues of today facing the nation . Perry could revive his campaign if he just stood up for Texas defeating the EPA and the White House. If he would have pushed back. He would have much better numbers then he does have now.

Gov John Huntsman is the last stunt dummy the establishment is trying push forward to spit Ron Paul's vote by election fraud. I know after the election in South Carolina. I have a feeling the rest of the field will drop out with only Romney and Paul being the only ones left in the field. Gov. Jeb Bush and Chris Christi will not jump in because they will be politically destroyed like they did Cain, Gingrich, Santorum, Perry and Bachman. The globalist are running out of stooges. Ron is so close breaking away from the pack and the establishment's barrier. Romney will not do well in the south and the western states. It is going to be harder to steal the vote when the field gets thinner and thinner. John Huntsman is just another stooge, the last stand against the anti establishment candidate Ron Paul. Ron Paul can win and he will.
