Mittens says Christie is on his shortlist for VP

At the Virginia Beach home of State Sen. Jeff McWaters Monday, Romney praised three up-and-coming stars of the GOP, saying his shortlist included Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, the Bearing Drift blog reported Tuesday

8 @7

Also included: Superman, Santa Claus, and Jesus.

9 You tea party wingnuts have to respect the Constitution. I share your goal of a smaller government, you know I do, but that goal can't be achieved at the point of a gun from one branch of the legislature. The GOP has to control all three branches, the Pentagon, the IRS, the entire federal judiciary and the legislatures of 2/3 of the States. Then we can start to shrink the Government. honest. Until then? The Constitution requires that the House put down its weapons and sign onto a new borrowing deal.

_{How did you like the "point of a gun"? Good, right? This is why I am considered the Dean of Conservative Pundits. Watch and learn, Gabe.}

It sound like Mittens is trying to shore up his conservative bona fides, of which he has currently exactly none.

I doubt Rubio or The Round Mound of Fiscal Soundness will go along with him. I can't see either one of them being content with mostly attending funerals for foriegn leaders and sleeping through Congressional speechifying.

11 General Electric Co.Â’s health care unit, the worldÂ’s biggest maker of medical imaging machines, is moving the headquarters of its 115-year-old X-ray business from Wisconsin to Beijing.

Tax free status GE "owed" tax funds from the US government is relocating its medical production to China. The article boasts no jobs lost in the move. Was the Wisconsin GE workforce illegal aliens, or what of union employees? Only a handful of top management are "needed" in Beijing. More "special" status. pff

Just what US tax dollar sponsored medical imaging treatment via radiation needs, to be relocated to Beijing and then imported back home. Reliable statistics, trustworthy technology, our industrial model says Obowow.

12 Ohio RINO George Voinovich has given his support to Mittens.  I'm not sure who that's supposed to impress because most conservatives held their noses while voting for crying George as the lesser of two evils in the general election because the state Repuke party supported somebody who never met a tax he wouldn't support.  Asshole Hugh Hewitt loved him so he must be spooging uncontrollably.

Some asked yesterday why Graham was against the Boner plan

“The Boehner proposal, no matter how well-intentioned, will be a straight jacket on real spending reform,” Graham said. “It locks in spending levels beyond what our nation can afford. It also makes it much more difficult for Congress to enact structural reforms like passage of a balanced-budget amendment.”

Evidently he is hearing footsteps

14 I doubt Rubio or The Round Mound of Fiscal Soundness will go along with him. I can't see either one of them being content with mostly attending funerals for foriegn leaders and sleeping through Congressional speechifying.

I don't see Christie going with him in any event and I don't see Romney's handlers advising him to go with someone from the same region as VP.

15

The article boasts no jobs lost in the move.

1. Number of Chicom peasants hired = number of Americans fired.

2. Net effect = no jobs lost.

3. Profit! and lots of it tax free.

According to the side bar article, Norwegians say "Terrorism against us is bad, but terrorism against Israelis is still OK."  I guess what goes around comes around, eh?

Socialists are unreformable.  They see no one's point of view, no one's suffering, but their own.  Happily this relieves me from giving a crap that they're being overrun by muz.  Let them drown in a sea of Islamic nutcases.

 

17 Back loading the (so called) cuts, is that not like the same deal all those people signed-up for that couldn't pay their mortages?  They lived in their home a few years then BAM! their payments shot up and they defaulted.  And our betters in Washington thought that was a good idea.  All this just sounds like the same old song and dance with the same results looming.  Confidence it does not inspire.

18 Mittens says Christie is on his shortlist for VP

I can't wait for Christie's "wipe the floor with that smile off your face" take on Mitten's lame effort to appear macho by talking out of his ass. While drawing public attention to his anus, Mitty really shouldn't provoke the wrath of an effective politician.

19 Maybe it's just time to hit 'CTRL+ALT+DEL' on the country...

Sorry, none of my usual optimism today, I think.

You're going to see a lot more of this.  China recently started mandating that foreign (read - "US") companies move R&D work to China or face further restrictions / penalties.  Soon this idea that the US does the design/development work and China does the manufacturing will be dead as the dodo.  They'll own the entire process.  We'll all suffer for it, because they cut corners and falsify data and basically lie through their teeth as a cultural norm.

It's yet another benefit of the merchantilist arrangement the so-called free trade advocates are so happy to saddle us with.  Apparently the only definition of free trade is "When the US eliminates trade barriers."  No matter when others erect barriers against us - apparently that's just fine.  So what if our productive base is destroyed?  Apparently it's all for the greater good.  Lenin was right when he said "The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them."

I understand the sentiment, but once it goes down there's no coming back.  May as well ride this thing for as long as it lasts, and try to keep kicking the can down the road.  There aren't enough conservatives left to fix shit once it all goes to pot.  The Left has done its job too well; it has drained all manly strength from the culture, and all willingness to do the hard things necessary to really fix the problems.

31 More on Romney

Washington Examiner discusses last Poll with Romney dropping

This is something I predicted as the Summer wore on and we entered the fall. Both PPP and Rasmusin have said his lead was based primarily on name recognition. I said that by labor day he would have dropped from the lead. It appears that that is happening now.

Another thing for the Perry boosters to keep in mind is that right now Perry is occupying that "Generic Republican" slot because he is largely unknown. When he officially gets into the race and IF he jumps in the lead expect the MFM to start on him incessantly. He will lose some of his luster at that point.

If Mittens wants to be serious, he'd choose Bachmann.  First, he's gonna have to get a woman or a minority.  The era of two old white guys on the ticket is over.  So it's either gotta be Bachmann or Rubio, hands down.  Plus he's got to really shore up his conservative credentials (yeah, I know...el oh el) to solidify the base.  McCain did it with Palin, Romney would have to do it with Bachmann or Rubio. 

Personally I think he should pick Bachmann.  I know Rubio gets a lot of love, but we need him in the Senate right now.  Bachmann in the House or out it makes no difference since those not in leadership just do what the leaders say.  Plus Bachmann, being from Minnesota, opens that region up to competition.  Let Obie pour money and resources into places he would normally have a lock on.  Florida is big, but doesn't really offer up any regional advantage.  I think Obie loses the South regardless.

Well, that's my half-assed thoughts on the matter anyway.

And I'm going on vacation to Michigan (to hang out with the in-Laws next week), so I need to be in the best mood possible.  Not that I have any problems with my in-Laws, but I'm fairly laconic (in person) until I get to know people, and they live 5 States away, so I don't get to hang around them very much. 

They still think I'm not sarcastic.

Ryan explains why he supports the Boner plan

This bill is far from perfect. We still have a long way to go toward getting the key drivers of our debt — especially federal health-care spending — under control. But considering that House Republicans control only one-half of one-third of the federal government, I support this reasonable, responsible effort to cut government spending, avoid a default, and help create a better environment for job creation.

In short “itÂ’s the best we can do”.  That is code for we will not shutdown the government because we will lose the PR war. Ryan is now off my list for any consideration if he changes his mind to run.

40 If Mittens wants to be serious, he'd choose Bachmann.  First, he's gonna have to get a woman or a minority.  The era of two old white guys on the ticket is over.  So it's either gotta be Bachmann or Rubio, hands down.  Plus he's got to really shore up his conservative credentials (yeah, I know...el oh el) to solidify the base.  McCain did it with Palin, Romney would have to do it with Bachmann or Rubio.

I would prefer that the Republican candidate, whoever that may wind up being, not choose one of our "conservatives" already in Congress. I would like to keep them there. And VP is really a shit job. I would prefer they get someone currently not in office. However, with ME tilting more Republican it would be good if they picked one of the ME sisters and it would "balance" the ticket.

41 Posted by: Vic at July 27, 2011 08:01 AM (M9Ie6)

I'm not sure he'd actually analyzed the plan before he made that statement.  Not that speaking out of ignorance is much better, but it may be slightly mitigating.

Of course, I still wish the Republicans in DC would realize what we want is for the debt limit not to be raised at all, but I doubt that's going to happen as long as they remain in the Beltway bubble.

42

It sound like Mittens is trying to shore up his conservative bona fides, of which he has currently exactly none.

You know what's great?  In 2008, Mitt was the most-conservative of our major choices.  Now, he's the least-conservative one.  And he hasn't changed a bit.

It's good news IMO

Good VDH column on our debt and current socialist empire

46 Mittens is a disaster waiting to happen. I'd rather he didn't drag someone actually qualified to hold an elected office down with him.

47 LOL

48 On the off chance there are some politicians lurking here, let's help and play out the move everything to China then profit! scenario.  First the recap.; manufacturing jobs move. Uncle Sam remains laissez faire ignoring Detroit and the rust belt's decline.  Americans are still buying, besides all those new tech jobs have countered the decline.  Some service industries now are moved off shore (think Peggy style customer service by Kumar).  Still good although unemployment is inching up a bit and job search lengths are unprecedented (there's that word again).  Now let's look ahead and extrapolate a future.  Let's move all the R&D out.    What jobs are left?  We don't design, we don't manufacture, and we don't service anything.  Wait!  We still have all those jobs Americans won't do being done by illegals!

49 Here is an allegory to the current situation.

The country is the chair.

50 Uncle Sam remains laissez faire ignoring Detroit and the rust belt's decline.  Americans are still buying

Mutually exclusive.  If Uncle Sam were really laissez faire, Detriot and the Rust Belt probably wouldn't be in decline in the first place, and (if the were) would be rebounding fairly quickly.  It's exactly the over-regulated environment (well, partially the over-regulated environment) that led them into decline in the first place.

Otherwise, you're more or less right.

51 So much for the truth test on propaganda claiming that the wealthiest pay 80% of America's tax funds. Those of us who grew up in the '60s know better that to blindly swallow gopper whoppers.

And regarding industrial level rather than personal income, allowing GE to pay no taxes isn't strictly a Democrat gift since it took enough votes and politicians in Washington to include the bipartisans of "shared corruption and fraud values". Enough of that to go around...

The previous argument raising business taxes higher, that outcome would simply relocate the formerly American based globalist industry to China base -- what's already happening.

American manufacturing is quickly becoming limited to small businesses, the very industrial entity that Gov. Rick Perry penalizes in Texas.

Perry promoted Al Gore's presidential aspirations. No one does that unless they support what Al Gore represents -- and Gore hasn't changed his entitled elitist authoritarian characteristic fraud over the years. Any change in party affiliation was purely opportunistic, given the defeat of Gore -- catching the GWB coattails mid-career. Perry subsidizes globalist corporations' tax breaks on the back of small business taxes and additional fees along with high property taxes. Meanwhile, after all the wheeling & dealing, these globalist corporations can leave as quickly as they arrive in Texas, after having assumed tax funded financial enticements to "start" and the economy "unexpectedly" presents hardships.

I couldn't help but open this column in the NYT because I new it would give me a laugh

Yes our old clueless friend Maureen Dowdy

Mainly her point is “its all Bush’s fault” but lets examine these two gems which I will post here in case some people’s stomach will not allow them to go to the NYT.

Obama, after all, is a new entity. HeÂ’s not really a Democratic president. Or a Republican one. HeÂ’s the first Independent president, creating his own party.

Hahahahahaha; he is more like the second communist President, the first being FDR. And no, Washington will forever be the first “independent” President because there were no parties when he was President and the founders absolutely hated the idea.

But then we have her weighing in on Einstein and physics proving once again that clueless journaljism writers should stay out of any field in which they donÂ’t have a clue (but then what would they write about?)

The physicists determined for the first time that the photon follows Einstein’s theory that the speed of light is “the traffic law of the universe,” and that nothing can travel faster than light.

Miss Dowd, there are hundreds of SFPs all over the country that prove you wrong on that score every day. When you turn off the light and look at the glow emanating from the fuel what you are seeing is the electromagnetic shock wave on a visible scale caused by heavy subatomic particles exceeding the speed of light in water. It is called th Cherenkov Effect.

56 Ryan's statement was made well before the CBO put the lie to the Boehnner plan. Boehner's failure to score his own plan and represent it honestly left a lot of GOP pols and pundits with their dicks in their hands.

To govern is to choose. To vote is to choose. To vote against John Boehner on the House floor this week in the biggest showdown of the current Congress is to choose to vote with Nancy Pelosi. To vote against Boehner is to choose to support Barack Obama.

61 And that's about it for the news this morning. We will have to wait and see on the budget fight. But on that I have about given up.

We have reached Monty DOOM and it looks like there is no desire to attempt to avert it.

62 Remember the Eagle cam at Norfolk Botanical Gardens in Virginia? They're releasing the eaglets today at Berekely Plantation on the James River at 11:00 am EDT. Live streaming of the release here:

http://tinyurl.com/yhfat54

A little summary if you don't remember: a pair of bald eagles have nested at NBG for about ten years, next door to Norfolk Intl Airport. About three months ago the female was killed in a plane strike and the eaglets were relocated to a rehab hospital in Waynesboro since it was thought the father couldn't manage to protect and feed three babies on his own. The release site is in/near an area where the eagle population is high due to good fishing and being a refuge area.

With Washington seemingly losing the plot, it seems like a good antidote to watch our nation's symbol thriving. BTW, the rehab hospital operates without any fed or state funds. Imagine that.

63 Moochelle gives an interview to AARP Magazine (please return your barf bags to the full and up under the chin position):
 
She said she often felt "selfish", with her husband having such as high profile role. "You get a little selfish sometimes," she said. "But every time I get irritated or feel lonely or tired, I just think, 'this is our duty'."
 
You will be pleased to hear she will not run for office.  That is, until she realizes she only has a few SS agents to boss around any more.

72 One thing I have not heard on talk radio on seen on the blogs today.  Last night I heard an audio clip of Reid saying that Boehner's plan would have us back at the negotiating table again in October.  WTF?!?   What are they planning to do that adds a trillion to the national debt in the next two months?!?

73 There is no evidence of links between mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik and the English far-right, according to Norway's domestic intelligence chief. Janne Kristiansen, director of the Norwegian Police Security Service, said no proof has yet been found to link the 32-year-old gunman to right-wing extremists in the UK.

Since the English are off the hook, it took their former ambassador to Uzbeckistan no time at all to blame the American Tea Party for Norway's Breivik the Terrible since Obama inherited the presidency from George W. Bush or something.

Craig Murray served as Britain's ambassador to Uzbeckistan  "an authoritarian state with limited civil rights" for two years while constantly harassing and embarrassing all governments involved with his accusations. He has continued his opposition to the War on Terror since being terminated from HM Diplomatic Service, and sums up his current occupation:

"Being a dissident is quite fun." 

Sounds like Murray has more in common with Breivik.
