This is a must watch. Bill Whittle has done a terrific job with his new video  Declaration Entertainment on a voters’ guide to Republicans. It’s not what you think:

From the GOP; “In the Weekly Republican Address, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) touts the Middle Class Tax Relief & Job Creation Act, legislation the House will vote on next week that will help to create thousands of new American jobs while helping families struggling with the consequences of President Obama’s failed economic policies. This jobs bill (H.R. 3630) will extend the payroll tax cut, protect Social Security, reform and extend unemployment insurance, and extend pro-growth tax relief for businesses of all sizes — while also advancing several bipartisan measures that will directly support the creation of private-sector jobs, including the Keystone XL energy pipeline. Everything in the House bill is offset by spending cuts, rather than through tax increases that would hit small businesses and destroy jobs, as proposed in Senate Democrats’ bill.”

Bashing the United Nations seldom fails as an applause line for Republican presidential candidates.

Mitt Romney  says the U.N. too often becomes a forum for tyrants when it should promote  democracy and human rights. Newt Gingrich pledges to take on the U.N.’s  “absurdities.” Herman Cain
says he would change some of its rules. Rick Perry  says he would consider pulling the United States out of the U.N. altogether.

Yet history shows that any American president learns to get along with the  United Nations “simply because there’s a lot of stuff the U.N. does that is  useful to the United States,” said David Bosco, who writes the Multilateralist  blog for Foreign Policy magazine.

Case in point: Even the harshest American critics were silent earlier this  month when the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog concluded that Iran was probably  developing nuclear arms.

Bosco, also an assistant professor at American University’s School of International Service, noted that the Republican administration of George W.  Bush supported a major expansion in U.N. peacekeeping despite regular  sniping about the world body.

But the relationship wasn’t a smooth one. Tensions ran high between the U.S.  and the world body during the Bush presidency, especially when outspoken John Bolton was the U.S. ambassador.

U.N. officials have declined to comment on the possibility that a Republican
win could strain the United Nations’ relationship with the U.S.

“The United States is an important state at the United Nations and we would  expect that relationship would continue under any administration,” said Martin  Nesirky, spokesman for U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

According to Politico, the Dems are reviving their “Party of No” attack against the Repubs, saying that the Repubs always say No and obstruct President Obama’s agenda.

Looking at where the country stands today, it is VERY good that Repubs say no to…

…economic and social policies that brought us the 2008 meltdown.

…a Stimulus economy that increased the Unemployment Rate much higher and faster than it did after 9/11 which was initially nothing less devastating to America than the meltdown.

…an unemployment rate of above 9%.

…an economy not gaining anywhere close to the 150,000 jobs it should have produced monthly starting back in March of 2009.

…budget deficits that are running annually in the trillions, thus increasing the cost of living on poor Americans.

…a HCR plan which will still leave half the uninsured without coverage.

…HCR that cuts $500 billion from Medicare the next 10 years.

…HCR bills that do NOTHING to bring down HC costs.

…HCR bills which will keep the UR high because employers will opt to lay-off workers than to pay for expensive HC plans for all their employees.

…a tax system that eats money from people earning just enough to cover the minimum.

…a “great society” system which keeps people poor for all their life, instead of helping them to get out of the dumps.

… prosecuting navy SEALs for punching a murderer in his face.

…bringing terrorists to our own backyards.

…removing terror suspects from No Fly Lists, just to be politically correct.

…regulations that prohibit using the restroom during flight and being covered with a blanket, which were put in place because the Government does not want to face the real terror problem.

… security system that spends billions on new technology, and subjects all Americans to long-lines at airports, instead of focusing attention on people with suspicious behaviors such as buying with cash one way international plane tickets without having carry-on luggage.

Republicans proudly say NO to all this craziness.

Who, besides the partisan Dems who are disconnected from reality, does say yes to any of these issues?

If not for a handful of so-called moderate Dem senators going along with the program, the Senate would have not started debate on the issue of Health Care Reform (HCR). In other words, this issue would have been dead by now.

As it was widely reported, one senator gave her vote only after getting a $300 million sweetener for her state. Considering that the other few moderates might sell their final votes for the same price, The Senate would need to come up with a total of $1.5 billion to cover these five votes that can otherwise kill this bill if they are against ending debate of this issue. Now, calculating that in the House 3-dozen Dem lawmakers will each sell their vote for let’s say $100 million apiece, The House will need $3.6 billion. Putting it together with the Senate, we are looking at a total of 5.1 billion dollars.

I have a question and a suggestion. Question: did the CBO add up all these sweeteners when they calculated the cost of the bills? Now my suggestion: without these moderates getting their sweeteners, the bills would have been history by now. In other words, the aye votes were just these lawmakers saying “yes. Give me cash for my district/state.” If so, I suggest that Ried and Pelosi handout sweeteners, without overhauling Health Care. It would be cheaper for taxpayers and for the country.

A Republican, likely from the conservative wing of the Republican side of the political spectrum, will be our next President. There is a very strong chance that it will be Mike Huckabee, yet Mitt Romney also stands a good chance. I also believe that Sarah Palin should not be counted out.

Before Obama fans dump this article, and before Conservatives forward this article, scrap the first paragraph. Reason being, analyzing now who will be on top of the Presidential candidates list for ‘12, and which party has a better chance of getting elected in ’12 or in ’16, is pre-mature. Just ask Secretary of State Clinton and South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford about all this. Being now in late ’09, it is clearly too early to predict and even just discuss with relevance who will be the real players in the ’12 Presidential field. In fact, even to predict now with accuracy how many House seats the Republicans will gain or lose in a year from now, is really too early.

Sure, we can all see where trends are going regarding the mid-term election, and which Republican has currently the ear of the Republican Party. However, just as Palin came out of nowhere and shattered the cards of the Republican establishment, we cannot know now which Republican might start rising very fast and change the game, as Doug Hoffman did in NY-23. Therefore, all roundtables filled with pundits debating the ’12 candidates, are bubbling up water. Don’t waste your time on it

The  New Jersey Gubernatorial race gives the Orthodox Jewish NJ voters (or perhaps any group vote) a voice on the national political stage.

During presidential election, such states as NY and NJ are mostly in the tank for the Democrats, with comfortable margins, thus limiting the affect what Jewish voters can have on a national race. The upcoming NJ gubernatorial race is however, down to the middle, if we believe the recent polls. National political observers want to see if the Democrats, using all its star power and money, can hold on to the state. Or will the Republicans capitalize on the national 10% unemployment rate, outrages Washington bailout spending, the already increased taxes (such as on tobacco products), socialized health care, etc, to use all of them to snatch the state from the Democrats.

The vote may come down to less than a few thousand voters, again, if we believe the polls. This means that the average reader in NJ can and will affect the outcome. Therefore, if you are one of those NJ’ans, make sure to go out and vote this November third. Regardless if you want to vote for Governor Corzine because you like his tax hikes and wrecked state budget, or regardless if you want to vote for Christie become you want him to clean up NJ and in the same time send a message to Obama that the US is still a capitalist society, just go out and vote.

Don’t expect your life to change overnight, no matter who wins, but expect your vote to influence the national political debate in the coming weeks.
