Latest Iowa Poll

The Hill: Reports on a new NBC/Marist Poll for Iowa, at the top is Governor Romney at 23%, Congressman Paul at 21% and former US Senator Rick Santorum at 15%. As stated many times in this blog, if Romney can take Iowa and then win big in NH this race is in effect over, but and also stated the big BUT is that Paul could take Iowa, then Romney NH, if Gingrich is finished again this could allow Santorum a chance in South Carolina, thus a long race for the Republican nomination. As kind readers of this blog has found, this blog has latched on to any Conservative candidate who can beat Romney but more important President Obama, thus far we have seen Perry, Cain, Gingrich self explode, of the three Perry is gaining ground, but his disaster at the Republican debates means Obama would eat him alive, thus folks we come back to Romney, yes this blog has never been a fan, quite the reverse, but the Republican Party cant have a long race, this would allow the Obama Campaign to define the winner before he or she could define who they are, thus folks of Iowa, VOTE FOR ROMNEY, he can win the Republican nomination quickly and can defeat POTUS. Yes we have to keep an eye on him, make sure he follows the Conservative line, but at least he knows that, thus FOLKS, VOTE for Romney on January 3rd.

Oxford Elite and the Labour Party

Guardian: Reports that Lord Glasman, one of Ed Milibands policy thinkers has stated that the Party has a problem, “ …leadership.. drawn form …Oxbridge graduates who struggle to relate to Britain's working class communities… ”. As the article notes the Labour Leader Ed Miliband went to Oxford, following his older brother the ex Foreign Secretary David Miliband. Lets be honest at the start of a new year folks, the Conservative Party loves the fact that Labour chose Ed Miliband as their leader, the general impression as reported by the Daily Politics show at the Labour Party Conference is that people think that Ed Miliband looks weird, also the fact that he stabbed his own brother in the back does not help remove that impression. Every time Ed Miliband tries a personal attack at PMQ’s the PM does not mind recalling this fact, even NOW Ed Miliband does not get the fact that this act of treachery against his brother is the one thing that most people know about him, will Labour do another Gordon Brown, and wait for the General Election defeat to remove Ed Miliband, as this link is to the Guardian it has to be asked is the left wing Guardian out to get “ Red ” Ed Miliband, such is the negative press that Mr Miliband is getting, one would even place a bet at the bookies that he wont be leader in 2015.

Iran Provocation

Telegraph: Report that Iran will test fire long range missiles on Saturday. This is a further escalation in the tensions between Iran and the US folks, the Tehran Regime has already threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz, thus preventing the West getting its much need oil shipments. This is down to who will blink first folks, the US and the West are in a tight spot, to prevent Israel hitting Iran the US and its Allies have to place tough sanctions on Iran, these sanctions will hit the Iranian Banking System and hence its oil revenue. The Tehran Regime is not that popular with own people, thus the Regime needs an outside ENEMY, thus the Big Satan the US, since the US is not in Tehran, the Regime hit the UK Embassy, the Little Satan in their odd view of the world. The Tehran Regime needs its oil revenue to fund its nuclear plans, thus the threat to Israel, thus the need for the West to take action. The game is vicious folks, it only needs a wrong move by Iran to start a Middle East War, the US Fleet should be on alert.

Spanish Austerity

BBC News: Reports that the new Spanish Government has announced cuts of 8.9 billion Euros, also a freeze in Government hiring with the addition of tax hikes for wealthy of Spain. The question on the minds of the bond market is can Italy and Spain meet their needs without getting a bailout from the EU. The austerity packages of Italy and Spain will cut the public sector, this means that welfare should raise, Ireland has seen its economy retract after its austerity plan, so how are the Eurozone Countries going to develop a plan for growth, this is the only way to reduce the debt within these Countries. Thus far the EU has failed to develop a growth plan, that is the one thing the Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer Ed Balls has gotten right, all this austerity will reduce government spending, will reduce the debt, the idea that more spending would help is crazy, that is the Labour Plan. The EU could be another Japan folks, years of austerity and no growth, welcome to the New Year folks.
