mr_genius Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 very close in Iowa http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-11-15/r...a-caucuses.html A Bloomberg News poll shows Cain at 20 percent, Paul at 19 percent, Romney at 18 percent and Gingrich at 17 percent among the likely attendees with the caucuses that start the nominating contests seven weeks away.

Balta1701 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I'm trying to figure out if Bloomberg challenging Newt on the type of "Work" he did to earn $1.2 mil from FDMC will resonate with Republican voters or not. They haven't seemed to hate lobbying work, but it's lobbying on behalf of a GSE, which is a bad thing. All I know is my gut says maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but I'm willing to bet Obama wins it in a landslide. The Republicans only have a shot at the Presidency if they nominate Romney or Gingrich. Anyone else, its over before it starts.

Balta1701 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Rick Perry challenged Nancy Pelosi to a debate in a letter. I'll let y'all figure out which one is the winner. "He did ask if I could debate here in Washington on Monday. It is my understanding that such a letter has come in," Pelosi said in the Capitol Thursday. "Monday I'm going to be in Portland in the morning, I'm going to be visiting some of our labs. I'm in California in the afternoon, that's two. I can't remember what the third is." Perry's campaign fired back at the Dem leader, writing on their official twitter account Thursday: "@NancyPelosi Perhaps the third activity that you have forgotten is the ongoing insider trading?"

StrangeSox Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Newt supports union busting via child labor “You say to somebody, you shouldn’t go to work before you’re what, 14, 16 years of age, fine. You’re totally poor. You’re in a school that is failing with a teacher that is failing. I’ve tried for years to have a very simple model,” he said. “Most of these schools ought to get rid of the unionized janitors, have one master janitor and pay local students to take care of the school. The kids would actually do work, they would have cash, they would have pride in the schools, they’d begin the process of rising.” How is this man considered a serious candidate for President?

This is quite a bit different from Newt's call to abolish child labor laws so that we can replace union janitors with poor children.

Nice spin attempt, but no. I'm not sure what you're talking about. Newt is advocating removal of child labor restrictions. 15 and 16 yo's can legally work already. The next paragraph: He added, "You go out and talk to people, as I do, you go out and talk to people who are really successful in one generation. They all started their first job between nine and 14 years of age. They all were either selling newspapers, going door to door, they were doing something, they were washing cars." Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1111/...l#ixzz1eAVDCdvc so, poor kids in poor schools should be put to work, displacing unionized janitors. Funny, but some of those kids' parents would be those same janitors, and now you've just depressed wages for janitorial work while also making their parents unemployed. That's a sure-fire way to rise up out of poverty. Again, why is this man taken seriously? Edited November 19, 2011 by StrangeSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
