Republican Debate - 2012 Race - Tonight

The Hill: Reports the Bloomberg/NYT Debate could either revive the Campaign of Governor Perry or finish him for 2012. As stated the before in this blog the race is for Governor Romney to lose, he has been steady while others have come and gone. The raise of Mr Cain is very interesting, a self made man to use an old term, no government experience, but charismatic and a true Conservative. The fact that Mr Cain is African - American and a Republican could really damage the Democrats in the 2012 race, this blog is about the truth folks, the very presence of Mr Cain as the Republican Nominee would be disaster for the leadership of the African - American Community, they could hardly use the race card, but they have tried. It seems if your black YOU have to be a Democrat, you cant make up your own mind, to me that is racist in it self. But the question before we give the nomination to Mr Cain is how will he do with being a front runner, the candidates at the debate will start to take pots shots at his Campaign, some consider they are not out yet. At least the Republican contest is not boring!!

Slovak Rebellion - Eurozone Crisis

Telegraph Live: Reports that the Slovak Parliament has rejected the expansion of the EU’s bailout package. As the Slovak Republic is small country expect the decision to be dismissed, they will be forced to re-vote in till they get the right vote, who thought Stalin was dead! This vote for a short time will send fear through the elite of Europe, they will carry on , they will come up with a justification for doing what they want to do, no matter what, if the Slovaks are going to be forced to re-vote then they should get concessions out of the EU, why should a poor Country like Slovakia have to pay a dime to Greece, in fact Slovakia should get some for over turning the Democratic will of the people of Slovakia. Nice move by the Slovak Parliament.

Greek Bailout and the UK

Daily Mail: Reports that the EU wants the UK to help in the bailout of Greece. Two words, GET LOST ( This is a open page ). Why should the UK give a penny to Greece, the present problems in Greece are down to bad government and the people wanting something for nothing, the Greeks will have to develop the old British character of a still upper lip, how dare the EU ask the UK to bailout its problem. The Coalition Government should make it clear to the EU and Greece, no way, no chance, ever!! The UK Coalition Government would fall if the Liberal Democrats pushed this policy, the Conservative back bench MP’s would revolt at such a policy, the UK voter would go nuts at the suggestion. The EU has lost the plot if this is a serious idea.

Greece and Austerity

Guardian Live: Reports that Athens expects more severe riots if the Greek Government imposes even more austerity as to get the next bailout. One has to ask why the Greek Government is doing this, the bailouts from the Troika is only as long as they can build a firewall around European Banks, after they have done that Greece will be forced in to a managed default, in other words thrown to the dogs. The good people of Greece are being thrown to the wolves by their Government and the EU. There should be peaceful protests in Athens, no violence after the last, if any violence the Greek Police should come down hard on those that break the law. Time for the Greek people to stand up for their ancient right of freedom, but NO violence no matter what the circumstances.

Slovakian Vote - Eurozone Crisis

BBC News: Reports that the Slovakian Parliament is expected to vote down the extension of the EU bailout fund. This is small beer folks, the Slovaks will have to be granted concessions, why should they bailout the richer Greece. As this blog has some experience of the Slovak Republic one can understand the anger of the people at the though that a poor country like Slovakia will be expected to bailout the PIIGS. Thus it can be argued that the Slovak Government should make demands as followed by other EU Countries. If the vote is lost the EU will have to give some extra grants to the Slovak Government and they will vote for the EU bailout. All politics is local folks.

The US, UK and France - Eurozone Crisis

White House: Readout of a telephone chat between US President Barack Obama, UK Coalition PM David Cameron and President Sarkozy of France. The highlight of the chats is the discussion on the Eurozone Crisis, the readout states the following, “ ..the President spoke by phone separately with British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, continuing his close consultations with these key allies about the situation in the eurozone. Prime Minister Cameron and President Sarkozy agreed with the President that decisive action is needed in order to finally resolve the crisis and assure economic recovery, both within the euro area and beyond it. The President will continue to closely coordinate with his European counterparts on this issue in the run up to the October 23 EU Summit and the November 3-4 G20 Summit. ”. Two of the leaders, Obama and Sarkozy have elections next year, they are down in the polls, thus both need economic growth, and in the US case for unemployment to go down. In the case of France there needs to be a deal on Greece, France has banks that could go under if Greece goes down the toilet. It can be argued that both Obama and Sarkozy are on the way out, of the three its only PM David Cameron that does not face election in till 2015. Thus with the military action in Libya and the UK keeping its credit rating in 2013 PM Cameron could be the senior leader on the world stage.
