FISCAL STEROIDS vs. REAL ECONOMIC GROWTH

by Newt Gingrich (more by this author)

There is something ironic about having Congress — which is holding hearings on steroid use in baseball — trying to solve our current economic challenges with the economic equivalent of fiscal steroids.

The maneuvering and posturing in Washington has assumed all of its normal pre-failure patterns.

The fact is, there could be no greater contrast between the approach I outlined in my new book, Real Change, and the traditional insider politics of Washington.

"STRAIGHT TALK" EXPRESS TAKES SCENIC ROUTE TO TRUTH

 

by Ann Coulter

John McCain is Bob Dole minus the charm, conservatism and youth. Like McCain, pollsters assured us that Dole was the most “electable” Republican. Unlike McCain, Dole didn’t lie all the time while claiming to engage in Straight Talk.
Of course, I might lie constantly too, if I were seeking the Republican presidential nomination after enthusiastically promoting amnesty for illegal aliens, Social Security credit for illegal aliens, criminal trials for terrorists, stem-cell research on human embryos, crackpot global warming legislation and free speech-crushing campaign-finance laws.
I might lie too, if I had opposed the Bush tax cuts, a marriage amendment to the Constitution, waterboarding terrorists and drilling in Alaska.

HILLARY? SHE DID WHAT!?

I know this has been around for awhile, but nothing like a good reminder…  TRM

AN ANALYSIS WORTH  READING :

from Dick Morris:

As I was there for most of their presidency and know them better than just about anyone, I offer a few corrections;

UN ALLOWS 45,000 DEATHS PER MONTH IN CONGO

RUSH: From the Associated Press: “Some 45,000 people die every month in Congo as the world’s deadliest humanitarian crisis has failed to improve despite five years of relative peace.  An estimated 5.4 million Congolese died between ‘98 and 2007 because of conflict, most from the rampant disease and food shortages stemming from fighting.  The study found that life is still alarmingly precarious for Congolese despite the end of the war in 2002.  When war ended in Congo, there was same level of dysfunction without the violence.”  Now, who’s running the Congo?  Who’s there to make sure this doesn’t happen?

THIS IS "DIMINISHED POWER"?

The Right talks.
By Peter Wehner

The new conventional wisdom is that John McCain’s victory in South Carolina last Saturday is proof that the “conservative establishment” in general, and Rush Limbaugh in particular, are not the political force they once were. In Sunday’s Washington Post, for example, we read this:

RUSH LIMBAUGH: MAY NOT SUPPORT GOP NOMINEE

By: Newsmax Staff

Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh stunned his listeners by announcing that he might not support the Republican presidential nominee in this year’s election.

Limbaugh said on Monday’s show: “I can see possibly not supporting the Republican nominee this election, and I never thought that I would say that in my life.”
