Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, January 27, 2012

Immigration and Hispanic issues were covered in Jacksonville Thursday night as the Republican presidential candidates debated for the last time before Tuesday's primary. The race is tied between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, according to a newly released CNN/Time/ORC International Poll. Romney has the support of 36 percent, Gingrich 34 percent, Rick Santorum 11 percent and Ron Paul 7 percent. The two-percent gap between the leaders is within the poll's margin of error.

Quit, Rickie, quit!

Why would the commie news network do a poll on politics here in USA.

I think Gingrich is still well ahead but that wouldn't be good for ratings, wouldn't be good for the GOP's leaders who don't want Newt.

Speaker Moonbat wants to go to Mars and put a colony on the moon. He's going to pay for it with a tax cut for the rich. Willard could ask him how he's going to pay for it if he didn't have his own giveaway to the rich.

Should be a good debate--hope the audience gets to participate.

SHRUB DID IT

We often here from the righy-tighty history rewriters how Clinton, Frank and Dodd ruined the housing market and our economy by “forcing” Fannie & Freddie to underwrite sub-prime mortgages. As usual they are lying.

Consider a speech delivered on "The Ownership Society" by President George W. Bush on June 18, 2002 and still available on the HUD website. Reading it today, reminds of the barb by Groucho Marx, "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies."

...The problem is we have what we call a homeownership gap in America. Three-quarters of Anglos own their homes, and yet less than 50% of African Americans and Hispanics own homes. And we need to do something about it.

We are here in Washington, D.C. to address problems. So I've set this goal for the country. We want 5.5 million more homeowners by 2010, million more minority homeowners by 2010. (Applause.) That is our goal. It is a realistic goal. But it's going to mean we're going to have to work hard to achieve the goal, all of us. Not only the federal government, but the private sector, as well.

And so what are the barriers that we can deal with here in Washington? Well, probably the single barrier to first-time homeownership is high down payments. They may have the desire to buy, but they don't have the wherewithal to handle the down payment. We can deal with that. And so I've asked Congress to fully fund an American Dream down payment fund which will help a low-income family to qualify to buy (Applause.)

We believe when this fund is fully funded and properly administered, which it will be under the Bush administration, that over 40,000 families a year....will be able to realize the dream we want them to be able to realize, and that's owning their own home. (Applause.)

The second barrier to ownership is the lack of affordable housing. The best way to do so, I think, is to set up a single family affordable housing tax credit to the tune of $2.4 billion over the next five years to encourage affordable single family housing in inner-city America. (Applause.)

The third problem is the fact that the rules are too complex. There's too many words. (Laughter.) So one of the things that the Secretary is going to do is he's going to simplify the closing documents.

cont...

Polls are a poison to elections in a democracy cause way too many folks use them to decide who they're gonna vote for as if an election were a horse race and they just want to be able to say that they voted for the winner instead of being honest with themselves and voting for the candidate who best represents their interests whatever the masses may think

Oh, Florida. Where "fiscal conservatives" promise not to do anything to save/reform entitlement programs while they bankrupt the country.

In other news, counties in Maine start their caucuses this weekend too.

Florida? But that's America's wang!- Homer Simpson

My two favorite "Florida-isms" I learned when I lived in Asheville:

1. Can't say "Florida" without the "DUH!"

2. Floridiot

Bush speech cont...

There's some people out there that can fall prey to unscrupulous lenders, and we have an obligation to educate and to use our resource base to help people understand how to purchase a home, what and where the good opportunities might exist for home purchasing.

Finally, we want to make sure the Section 8 homeownership program is fully implemented. This is a program that provides vouchers for first-time home buyers which they can use for down payments and/or mortgage payments. (Applause.)

I called upon the private sector to help us and help the home buyers. We need more capital in the private markets for first-time, low-income buyers. And I'm proud to report that Fannie Mae has heard the call and .. it's about $440 billion over a period of time. They've used their influence to create that much capital available for the type of home buyer we're talking about here. It's in their charter; it now needs to be implemented. Freddie Mac is interested in helping. I appreciate both of those agencies providing the underpinnings of good capital.

There's a lot of faith-based programs that want to be involved with educating people about how to buy a home. And we're going to have an active outreach from HUD. (Applause.)

And so this ambitious goal is going to be met. I believe it will be, just so long as we keep focused... Economic security at home is just an important part of homeland security. And owning a home is part of that economic security. It's also a part of making sure that this country fulfills its great hope and vision.

See, I tell people that out of the evil done to America will come some incredible good. (Applause.) You know, they thought they were attacking a country so weak and so feeble that we might file a lawsuit or two, and that's all we'd do. (Laughter.) That's what they thought. We're showing them the different face of America. We're showing them that we're plenty tough. When it comes to taking somebody trying to take away our freedoms, we're tough, and we're going to remain tough and steadfast. (Applause.)

But I also want people to see the deep compassion of America, as well. I want the world to see the other side of our character, which is the soft side, the decent side, the loving side. I want people to know that when we talk about dreams, we mean big dreams. And when we talk about a free society, we want a society in which every citizen has the chance to advance, not just a few.

And part of the cornerstone of America is the ability for somebody, regardless of where they're from, regardless of where they were born, to say, this is my home; I own this home, it is my piece of property, it is my part of the American experience. It is essential that we stay focused on the goal, and work hard to achieve that goal. And when it's all said and done, we can look back and say, because of my work, because of our collective work, America is a better place. Out of evil came incredible good.

Thank you all for coming by. GEORGE BUSH (promoting Jeb Bush's Florida agenda)

Note that 9/11 did provide a rationale for unleashing GOP fiscal policies that enriched a few and set the economy on a full speed course to wreck itself on the rocks, to be scavenged like the reef wreckers did in Florida's olden days. Think of those ship captains who went to church on Sundays set out lanterns on Monday to steer the unwitting and gullible to rocky shallows where their treasure might be lost and then found.

excerpted from Floridian Alan Farago

Newt got the better plan. No tax on capital gains and dividends. Either you buy healthcare insurance or a bond to cover your expenses,nothing is free. Don't force kids to stay in school,someone has to fill the minium wage jobs.

Florida Republican debate: Where and when to watch

Seriously? Gingrich vs Romney is what it's come down to? What the fuck.

"Should be a good debate--hope the audience gets to participate."

Another pseudo-event designed to make the spectators think they are participating in a democratic process.

Sport its based on credit History and paying back what you borrow!By the way skin color doesn't have anything to do with it but attitude and culture does.

Not for long if things don't change!

I got credentials from CNN, so I'm covering the debate from the media center at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville. There's room set up for around 400 journalists. I'm sandwiched between the Huffington Post and The Guardian.

Hey, if you get close enough to Calista BlingRICH, try offering her a handful of corn and see if can get an interview.

Ask her if she's pissed the Angry Bird developers are paying her for all the free publicity.

Spud is kinda curious but too scared off getting his eyes pecked out to ask himself.

And whether if Noot is elected, she will prefer to be addressed as First Lady or First Mistress?

Rogers, have you ever been invited to a dem primary? This is kind of a downer for you, isn't it?

Crap.

In Spud's defense it *is* Spud's birthday and he's inna waaaay more *ahem* celebratory mood than usual.

Got the day off, already did my birthday luncheon thingy, got the "we're putting the DUH in FloriDUH" derpbate to look forward to, a dozen or so ice cold beverages a'chillin', ample supplies of popcorn laid in and a ridiculous amount of weapons grade buddage.

Cos that's hoe Spud rolls (literally).

So 8pm eastern is wot 5 pm pst?

2 1/2 hours till the GOP clown car rolls up in the center ring and the 4 remaining dwarves get out and try to out-derp each other in an event held in the derpiest State east of the Rockies.

Should be good.

Nah, this is great. I'm hoping to be kicking back later with Mitt enjoying some brewskis.

Another journo took a picture of the media room. This is where the magic happens and conventional wisdom congeals into a mold right after the debate:

I'd rather see Rogers glitter bomb Rick Santorum.

While that *would* be lulzy Spud fears that Santorum might erupt and go off on poor Rogers and then where would he be be?

That's a new outfit Rogers is wearing tonight and most dry cleaners these days even won't go near a santorum stain.

That shiat-stain just won't come out.

Kinda like Rick, in fact.

Another question: If Obama's health reform is repealed, what will you do as president to help the 1-in-6 Americans who are uninsured?

Here's a better question: What would do to reverse corporate control of the American government, economy and culture?

Another: Did you vote for Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984?

(Mitt voted for Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale, according to Michael Reagan.)

That question should be more specific, Null. You gotta pin them down or they wriggle.

How about: Why do you insist that the 99 percent and 1 percent divide in America is a Class War when it is merely factual economic statistics?

"Another question: If Obama's health reform is repealed, what will you do as president to help the 1-in-6 Americans who are uninsured?"

At the GOP debate the applause line is..."let them die."

For Mitt: "How long were you a Tsongas Democratic in Massachusetts?"

For Noot: If you win, will Callista be referred to as First Lady or First 'Ho, er... maybe you better use, First Mistress.

That question should be more specific, Null. You gotta pin them down or they wriggle.

Ok. Do you pledge to break up all of the "too big to fail" banks in your first term?

Do you agree with Congressman Paul that the "War on Drugs" is a racist war?

Mitt Romney, how much money do you have in overseas bank accounts and did you pay your taxes on that money? Should America have stricter laws to prevent guys like you from gaming the system?

The Drudge Retort is at tonight's final presidential debate in Jacksonville, Fl., which begins at 8 p.m. Eastern and is broadcast on CNN.

How cool. So will you be blogging live on this thread, Rcade, and telling us what "off camera" stuff you see going on behind the scenes or do you just have to watch and take notes?

I better get to the supermarket so I can get back before it starts.

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TATER!

Danni: Another question: If Obama's health reform is repealed, what will you do as president to help the 1-in-6 Americans who are uninsured?"

Santorum adds... and go be with Babby Jebus in Hebbin'!

And then with his vulture capitalism background at Bain, Mitt suggests a plan to sell off any salvageable vital organs to the Chinese underground organ market.

Ron Paul then pipes in about the necessity of removing any and all gold fillings.

Newt suggest getting little kids to perform that task because the work experience is invaluable and their tiny hands can get in their easier.

Standing Ovation.

Yee haw, I am looking forward to this debate!!!!

Rogers, are you covering live or putting up a clean thread when the debate stats? Wass the plan?

Two words Spud would most like to hear in a question tonight?

"Carried Interest"

Be Well.

Here's a preview of the Debate

www.youtube.com

Is it absolutely bloody obligatory to do the Castro/Cuba question every single FLA GOP debate?

Is that like the first thing at the top of the fuggin' rider?

Raoul Castro is in charge now, the place is starting to modernize and the GOP still act like the Bay of Pigs and Missile Crisis just happened yesterday.

Meh, prolly shouldn't complain.

Watching the GOP candidates try to out-hate Castro is always lulzy and practically a tradition at this point.

Like SC, FLA is lousy with fundies and the like so expect the derp to go to eleven early.

Be Well.

Rogers, are you covering live or putting up a clean thread when the debate stats?

I'm going to turn this thread into the live one.

So will you be blogging live on this thread, Rcade, and telling us what "off camera" stuff you see going on behind the scenes or do you just have to watch and take notes?

I can talk about whatever I want. After the debate, I will go down to the spin room where all the candidates' spin doctors talk to the media about why their guy won.

I'm going to turn this thread into the live one.

Won't people get electrocuted if you do that?

/Not an IT guy.

Be Well.

a clean thread

Wait, there's no swearin'?

Fuck that!

*storms off to get another beer*

They are the knights who are the keepers of the sacred words "Tax cuts", "Deregulation" and "Drill, baby, drill".

And they are all auditioning for the role of the Black Knight.

Too funneh.

Be Well.

Another question submitted to CNN: If your mother had cancer and wanted marijuana to reduce nausea associated with chemo, would you tell her it was OK?

Speaking of Cuba, they should ask the candidates if our "wet foot dry foot " policy doesn't cause most of those who would be most likely to protest the Castro government an easy path to leave Cuba and thus prevent any strong protest movement to be sustainable there?
Also is it still fair to allow Cubans legal residency status simply because they set foot on dry land but the same policy applies to no one else?

would you tell her it was OK?

Mitt would say yes, acquire a pot shop in a hostile takeover, nick the weed, fire the employees, and bring in Vietnamese immigrants from BC to man the grow room.

Newt would say no, do it anyway because it is the smart thing, arrest anyone else who does it, and pinch mom's sack every time he makes a run for her.

Santorum would be honest, say no, mean it, and when mom dies bring her home so the kids can play with her.

Speaker Gingrich, what would we name our first lunar state?

I'm seeing a live debate video feed, not just what's going to air on CNN.

The CNN hosts are talking to the crowd.

"Nobody in the elite world understands this, this is an enormous center-right country," Gingrich said. "This was driven home for me a couple weeks ago when I was doing a press release for English First. They gave me some data. Eighty-five percent of the American people believe English should be the official language of government."

After breaking for applause, Gingrich continued, "Now that's according to a Rasmussen poll. Zogby came back and said that's too high -- the number's 84.

Gingrich then pivoted to the founding of the colony of Jamestown, "when people who believed their rights came from God first stepped foot on this continent." They had a "very simple model," he said: "We should replace bilingual education with immersion in English so people learn the common language of the country and so they learn the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto," Gingrich said. "Second, we should establish that citizenship requires passing a test on American history in English. And if that's true, we do not have to print ballots in any language except English."

I knew one of them was a horn-tooter... just not which one.

Great comment by Santorum

Get off this bs personal stuff--get to the real questions and bash Obama!!

Santorum: Would one of you guys pick me for VP? Please.

it's hard to live up to the expectations of sophistocated hysteria, but they're trying like hell.

Ron Paul needs to shut up with his common sense, no one wants to hear that crap.

Ha! Smoke break.

I don't expect my president to snub Governors and I don't expect my candidates to take every question to engage in petty bickering. If this is a example of their self control, I’m not impressed

"I take risks".

Um, yeah no,

You don't.

No risk.

That's the "carried tax" loophole that allowed Rmoney to recently set up a 110 million dollar trust fund for his kids getting around a 10 million a year annual limit.

The last time Ron Paul's congressional district was redrawn, he ended up with NASA's Johnson Space Center as a new neighbor. A group of Houston businessmen soon invited their new congressman for a primer on the value of the space shuttle.

Paul's reply came in a note they thought was a joke. "He told them space travel isn't in the Constitution," said Patricia Gray, a former state Democratic lawmaker once nudged to challenge the Republican.

Mitt is dead wrong

The truth about Massachusetts health care reform
As an experiment, however, the Massachusetts law has revealed certain weaknesses in the plan. Three areas of concern are: overreaching social planning by the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority (the “exchange”); double-digit increases in health insurance costs for many employers and individuals, and too much taxpayer money still underwriting free care.
www.politico.com

The Massachusetts Health-Care 'Train Wreck'
the Massachusetts plan couldn't be a more damning indictment of ObamaCare. The state's universal health-care prototype is growing more dysfunctional by the day, which is the inevitable result of a health system dominated by politics.
In the first good news in months, a state appeals board has reversed some of the price controls on the insurance industry that Gov. Deval Patrick imposed earlier this year. Late last month, the panel ruled that the action had no legal basis and ignored "economic realties."
In April, Mr. Patrick's insurance commissioner had rejected 235 of 274 premium increases state insurers had submitted for approval for individuals and small businesses. The carriers said these increases were necessary to cover their expected claims over the coming year, as underlying state health costs continue to rise at 8% annually. By inventing an arbitrary rate cap, the administration was in effect ordering the carriers to sell their products at a loss.
Sure enough, the five major state insurers have so far collectively lost $116 million due to the rate cap. Three of them are now under administrative oversight because of concerns about their financial viability. Perhaps Mr. Patrick felt he could be so reckless because health-care demagoguery is the strategy for his fall re-election bid against a former insurance CEO.
Stanford economists John Cogan and Dan Kessler and Glenn Hubbard of Columbia find that the Massachusetts plan increased private employer-sponsored premiums by about 6%. Another study released last week by the state found that the number of people gaming the "individual mandate"â€"buying insurance only when they are about to incur major medical costs, then dumping coverageâ€"has quadrupled since 2006.

If you don't have the money to pay for insurance in MA they have to pay a fine so you are now not only without care but even broker than you were to begin with.

I cannot see any plan to replace what they want to repeal.

whats really funny is that the "mandate" was a Republican idea.

"Rick is coming off as the old ankle biter"

But he is pointing out the hypocrisy of Gingrich and Romney who both supported mandates in the past. How are they going to look in debates opposing them now

That's where Ron Paul is wrong. Millions of seniors WERE out on the streets with no support back in his day.

Multiple millions were saved by the Great Society plans.

Which hispanic leader would you want in your candidate?

The Rubio blowjob begins.

Isn't discussing who will being yer cabinet kinda illegal?

Ooh, Rmoney musta paid some good coachers for this point.

That's where Ron Paul is wrong.

They are all wrong on this issue...of course. It's gonna be a real hot button topic for sure as the elections get nearer.

I'd like to know where this magical land was where "no one was out on the street".

If I am nominated I want the only Hispanic running mate who would oppose the Dream Act.....Marco Rubio would end up costing the nominee Hispanic votes. He's Cuban, most Hispanics in the US are not Cuban. Cubans get special treatment and the rest of the Hispanic population knows it and resents it.

Santorum's exchange with Romney on health care was the most interesting part of the debate thus far. He pinned him pretty good.

Would Calista be called the "Third Lady" if Newt gets elected?

Best first lady?

Well, Calista puts out, gives a wicked hummer by all accounts and is into open marriages so she pretty much wins by default.

"The First Homewrecker".

Has a nice ring, does that.

Romney's wife has been a non entity so far.

Never even seen a picture of Mrs Paul.

Actually, it's a very nice city, I lived there for quite a few years.

It's remarkable how much better he's gotten in the debates, though. He was so snivelly the first few that I was incredulous at his ever having won an election.

CNN is correct that since the questions were geared on domestic issues Paul didn't have answers that go off the reservation.

This is a closed primary--repubs only vote.

The news reports the absentee votes of 200k are supposed to break to Romney.

Will have to wait and see.

Ron Paul had a really good night--loved his answer regarding his age. It is only just a number.

Spud dug the part where he challenged the other 3 to a "35 mile bike ride in the Texas sun".

have fun be safe and and don't take no wooden trannies or trannies with woodies!

I'll definitely be voting for Gingrich when the GOP primary comes to my state. He represents the GOP of today (in rhetoric if not deeds). I want America to see what the GOP have become - where even the stupidest Republican can see they don't stand for the average American, which Gingrich or Romney will definitely exemplify.

The GOP establishment is in horror of a Gingrich candidacy. Romney won't fare much better. Even blue collar Republicans would be reluctant to pull the lever for either of them.

Go, Newt, GO!! Go, Mitt, GO!!

I know GOATMAN will be very happy I'm voting for Gingrich!! LOL

That woman in the audience who said she was unemployed having lost her job of 10 years asked what she could do since she now had also lost her employee health insurance. The "ever out of touch with the average guy" Romney tells her if she had a "portable" health insurance policy which she herself owned and was able to continue taking it with her from place to place, then she wouldn't have been in that predicament.

What Mitt forgot to tell her was HOW she was suppose to keep on paying those monthly "portable" health insurance policy premiums when she had NO JOB.

Got to talk to Tim Pawlenty, Bill McCollum, J.C. Watts, Bey Buchanan and a Paul aide and hear from Fred Thompson in the spin room. Will write more tomorrow.

Careful what you say about any republicans here. This is a republican based website site and they are not into free speech. They will kick you out.

"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies (snack buffet): rhou anointest my head with oil (Ronald Reagan Dippity Doo). My cup runneth over (no explanation required)"

- Psalm 23:5

Romney is what space aliens would disguise their 'humanoid' creation as

Romney is a sociopath. imho

I predict Romney will probably win Florida. but, with Florida only getting half their delegates for jumping ahead in the primary, this nomination contest will go on for some time. Gingrich's ego won't allow him to quit. In the process he'll destroy Romney for the general.

If, by some crazy chance, Gingrich wins the nomination count on the WH, House, and Senate to all go Democrat. Not that Romney would do any better than John McCain did in the general election. McCain, while married to a rich woman, was a war hero. Romney was living in a mansion in France. All he is is the son of George Romney (a decent guy) who went on to make money however he had to. A WHOLE lot of it on the backs of average Americans. That won't play well in a fall election.

AU....since you mention it, Romney does resemble the humanoid Klaatu (played by Michael Rennie 1951)...too bad earthlings didn't listen....

How ya doin' GA?

I haven't seen that movie. Was Klaatu a jerky and stiff imposter aliens would create to appear human like Romney?

Hope you have a good one ...

I get yer drift, Spud. Here's a goodnight salute to ya.

Michael Rennie was ill The Day The Earth Stood Still
But he told us where we stand
And Flash Gordon was there in silver underwear
Claude Raines was The Invisible Man
Then something went wrong for Fay Wray and King Kong
They got caught in a celluloid jam
Then at a deadly pace It Came From Outer Space
And this is how the message ran...

Normally I'd agree -- I thought people's obsession with the Clintons' marriage was weird.

Newt made this an issue, though, by spouting off about family values on the one hand, and dumping the mother of his children because he didn't believe she was pretty enough to be first lady.

Ron Paul after a Romney/Gingrich snit fit is like a bracing splash of Aqua Velva.

That is one of the funniest fucking things I've read in a while. Thanks.

Speaker Moonbat wants to go to Mars and put a colony on the moon. He's going to pay for it with a tax cut for the rich. Willard could ask him how he's going to pay for it if he didn't have his own giveaway to the rich.

Would a moon colony become Gingrich's Folly? I believe it would be. He'd better hurry up though, or corporations will get all that new wealth instead.

I have thought about who was the dumbest person last night at the GOP debate and I have concluded that it had to have been the unemployed lady who asked what the candidates would do for people like her who have lost their healthcare insurance.
First she is unemployed in a state where the Republican Governor and Legislature have limited unemployment compensation to 20 weeks.
Secondly she is asking the Republicans who swear they will repeal Obamacare what they would do for her, isn't it pretty obvious that they would not do anything for her?
Now, why is she the dumbest person??? Because she still considers herself to be a Republican. Now that is stupid. You can't fix stupid. That woman is as dumb as a rock.

-Now, why is she the dumbest person???

well, for starters, she is a female from florida.

sorry....you walked into that one.

Rex is already showing him how to circumvent that.

Seriously? Gingrich or Romney or Obama is what it's come down to? What the fuck.

TY, that sounds amazing for being a bootleg produced in 1977.

Also one of Spud's fave CM tunes.

Ron Paul after a Romney/Gingrich snit fit is like a bracing splash of Aqua Velva.

Woulda gone with "Old Spice" for the analogy there unless that was an indirect nod to the Rand Paul "Aqua Buddha" in which case, carry on.

Any word which of the candidates crap answers on Health Care that unemployed lady in the fur football uniform mighta preferred?

She didn't look too happy there.

Fer Spud, her asking the GOP candidates for Health Care solutions was a real Dickensian "Please Sir, can I have some soup?" moment.

Spud's a bit of a Dickens freak,

YMMV.

Be Well.

/Back and remarkably unhungover, if that's even a word.

Newt's sister (not kidding)

Dickens, you say?
If you'd like to "go deep," this is a good book for you, Spud.
The Companion to Martin Chuzzlewit

You're probably still drunk. Give it time. ;-)

Schweet!

Luff me some Chuzzlewit background info.

It's actually Dickens favorite of his own novels.

Spud likes it cos the characters start by pointing out how ludicrous avaricious people in England are but then due to flagging sales of the installments the Dickens gets the main character to take off for America where Dicken's does a brief wicked scathing take on the situation there before heading back to Merry Old to conclude.

In short, that one's going on the list.

Be Well.

/In additional news: Beers r gud!

You're probably still drunk. Give it time. ;-)

Spud is highly resemble that statement!

*harumph*

Er "Resent", that shoulda been.

Be Well.

That run for President is grueling. Like they always said, you need fire in the belly before ever running. Ron Paul at 76 has some stamina especially since the paid media try to nail him and put him down at every chance.
