Gingrich TIED with Romney in New Hampshire - Republican Race


WSJ: Reports on a new poll in New Hampshire of Republican voters, the race is a virtual tie, with Romney on 29% and Gingrich on 27%. If the former Speaker could win Iowa and New Hampshire this would the best political comeback since Truman, but can Newt Gingrich not implode as has been the fate of past front runners, Parry, Cain. It is only seven weeks in till the Iowa Caucus folks, if Gingrich can mount a decent field operation and win or come close he has a good chance to take on Romney on his home field of New Hampshire. The close fight causes problems for the Obama team, they had thought that their opposition would be Mitt Romney, thus the early attacks on him, as following the Clinton handbook of 1996. But they just might have to wait, this helps the Republicans, they seem to taken on Reagan’s 11 rule of not attacking fellow Republicans and attacking Obama. There is a CNN debate on Tuesday folks, that Wednesday morning UK time, lets see who wins that and if any other candidates can make an impression.

Nixon’s Oval - US and Israel (Offensive Comments )

Daily Mail: Reports on inflammatory comments made by then NSA Henry Kissinger in the Nixon White House when it came to Jewish pressure groups and the US relationship with the USSR. Lets recall Kissinger was the National Security Adviser to Nixon, also Mr Kissinger is Jewish, thus in Nixon Oval the NSA had to be seen and act tough with Israel, also as the article notes Kissinger did take up the issues that worried the Jewish groups when it came to the USSR. Also Mr Kissinger as NSA and Secretary of State with President Nixon had broad plans for US security, thus the opening of China, better relationship with the USSR, end of the Vietnam War, Israel a close US ally would have never been allowed to fall but that didn’t stop the pressure from the Jewish Lobby in the US, even Carter and Reagan asked about their power. Thus unfortunate comments from Mr Kissinger but in the context of the pressures of the period one can understand the outburst and the its background.

Romney on ObamaCare

The Hill: Reports leading Republican Candidate Governor Mitt Romney has stated that the US Supreme Court will declare that ObamaCare is illegal. This is the one issue folks that can almost make sure that any Republican Nominee wins over President Obama, the final decision by the US Supreme Court is expected in June, so about five months of Campaign on issue no matter the decision. Of course Governor Romney bought in RomneyCare for his own home state, and to his credit the Governor is not walking away from that idea, in fact he is making a virtue of it, stating that the Oval has over stepped the mark with its Federal Policy for the whole of the US, that it should be up to the individual State to decide how to look after the heath of its residents. As stated in this blog if the US Supreme Court did decide that ObamaCare was illegal, at least it would be off the table as an issue between June and November 2012, on the other and if the Court decides it legal, its more trouble, the Republicans will make it an issue very day, also with the US Supreme Court allowing Corporations to spend money on Campaign the business community could be a major thorn for the Obama Oval. This blog cant wait for next year folks, Iowa coming up soon folks.

Great Unwashed ARRESTED - NY

BBC News: Reports that 250 of the Occupy Wall Street protesters have been arrested. What has taken the NY Police so long, how come this blog has not seen any water cannons being used, or Police on horses taking down violent protesters. These people have gotten out of their BEDS because of the class warfare rhetoric of the Obama White House, the Democrats are using envy to make up for the fact that the Obama Administration has failed on the domestic front. The left wing media has given these commie protesters a clean bill of health, in fact in many respects they are being used by the elite, do you think rich liberals really want to give up THEIR money, that BS folks. The Democrats want a balance to the Tea Party movement, thus they support the occupy wall street thugs, this is a cynical Chicago move folks, the Obama Oval is fighting dirty, expect worse next year folks.
