Mitt wasn’t all wrong about ‘gifts’
Creators Syndicate, by Patrick J. Buchanan

Original Article

Posted By:jackson, 11/20/2012 9:02:13 AM

“What the president’s campaign did was focus on certain members of his base coalition, give them extraordinary financial gifts from the government and then work very aggressively to turn them out to vote, and that strategy worked.” Thus did political analyst Mitt Romney identify the cause of his defeat in a call to disconsolate contributors. Republicans piled on. “Completely unhelpful,” Gov. Bobby Jindal told Wolf Blitzer. We don’t advance the “debate by insulting folks.” “A terrible thing to say,” Chris Christie told Joe Scarborough. “You can’t expect to be the leader of all the people and be divisive.”

Comments:
Mitt wasn´t ANY wrong about gifts. And Pat explains why. Also Jindal is a jerk.

Rush is right. Politicians (all slants) pander to get votes. They now all know their careers rest on giving stuff. Last one leaving--turn out the lights.

Christie has lost all my respect, Jindal is not far behind.

´´... give them extraordinary financial gifts from the government...´´

No Pat, that´s ´from the TAXPAYERS!´

My daughter teaches outside of Chicago. Just had parent/teacher conferences. 9 out of 13 appointments showed up. Free gift cards for attending, plus free turkeys were given away in the lunch room. Future democratic voters!

If only Mitt Romney had run on the words he had to offer after the battle was lost, he would probably have gotten those stay-at-home Americans to run to the polls and cast a vote for him. As it was, they figured he was not much different from Obama.

But the Republican ´elite´ reaction to his words show why he probably ran a soft campaign. Mitt, you should have told them where to get off. They are worthless and their message stinks. Ignore them and don´t apologize for telling the truth.

I have a little math formula here:

Millions more on food stamps
+ Millions more on SS dissability
+ grown government
+ tax paid union bailouts
+ immigrants getting benefits

Obama learned from the two masters--Franklin Roosevelt and Rod Blagojevich. Roosevelt directed "New Deal" money to districts where he needed votes. This is well known now and was well known in his day. Blago did things like give free bus and train rides to seniors along with free prescription drugs and license fee waivers and property tax relief. If not for the crime of spoiling
O´s reelection party with his Senate seat shenanigans, Blago probably would have been reelected.

I guess John F. Kennedy is not much of a democrat hero any more. I mean, what kind of democrat would say: ´´Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country´´ (sic).

Now, it´s ´´gimmie, gimmie, gimmie. Make the suckers pay!´´

Romney was being generous. Just check the figures and see how many millions are getting checks without working, free phones but only is you don´t pay taxes, free rent, free medical care, free free free.

#6. I have been thinking along those same lines lately. Mitt did everything just exactly how the establishment guys told him to do. We got a kinder, gentler, super safe campaign - and we lost. If only Romney had stayed the Mitt in that first debate, things might have turned out differently. He slaughtered Obama. I am seeing the same pattern with Rubio now. The big boys have promised him the moon and they are orchestrating his every move.

The disgusting "leadership" in the GOP jumps ugly on Mitt for stating an obvious truth.

What motives might these pathetic politicians (Jindal, Christie, Gingrich, Kasich) have for doing the Dem´s work, piling on a decent man (perhaps the last one who will ever seek the office)?

Which of these gifts did Obama and his henchmen not use to full advantage?:

Obama’s Columbia Professors, Cloward & Piven, taught:Overwhelm the System:
Food Stamps * SSI Disability * Unemployment Comp * Welfare * Medicaid * ´Free´ Cell Phones, * Relaxed Immigration ´Laws´, etc.

(It’s working)

Mitt would have worked hard and been a man worthy of the office, Ryan as well. I´m definitely not trusting Rubio Jindal Christie or newt right now.

Hard of hearings

Before Congress is finished with the Internal Revenue Service, there’s a serious danger some of us are going to wind up feeling sorry for the auditors.And, honestly, that is not the way we were planning on spending the spring. Especially since it appears that there are people making decisions at the I.R.S. who have the intelligence of a wet Frisbee. But, so far, the Congressional hearings of outrage have been even less sympathetic.

Let’s try to come up with some positive thoughts about the recent political fortunes of the Obama White House: • Economy’s getting a little better. Deficit’s dropping. • Bill Clinton had a really terrible second term and look how well things turned out for him. • Nobody in the administration has been caught driving to Canada with Bo the dog strapped to the car roof. It’s been quite a week, what with the I.R.S. scandal, the Benghazi controversy and revelations about the Justice Department’s sweep of The Associated Press’s phone records.

   

 

  


 
The Heretic at Heritage
Human Events, by Patrick J. Buchanan    Original Article

Jason Richwine, the young conservative scholar who co-authored the Heritage Foundation report on the long-term costs of the amnesty bill backed by the “Gang of Eight,” is gone from Heritage. He was purged after The Washington Post unearthed his doctoral dissertation at the JFK School of Government. Richwine’s thesis: IQ tests fairly measure mental ability. The average IQ of immigrants is well below that of white Americans. This difference in IQ is likely to persist through several generations. And the potential consequences of this? “A lack of socioeconomic assimilation among low IQ immigrant groups

New Orleans police have released a video that shows a possible suspect in the shooting that wounded 19 people at a Mother´s Day parade. The surveillance video shows the crowd dispersing and some falling to the ground before one person in a white T-shirt and dark pants flees. The image of the man isn´t clear but police say they hope someone will recognize him. The wounded included 10 adult men and seven women as well as a boy and a girl, both 10.

‘Ridiculous’ Ads On Benghazi

On Fox News Sunday this morning, Weekly Standard editor William Kristol defended former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from partisan political attacks over the tragedy in Benghazi, while also urging non-partisan investigations into that incident and the IRS’ targeting of conservative groups during the 2012 election. Kristol denounced American Crossroads’ anti-Hillary ads, asking “What is the point of that?” and calling them “ridiculous.” “There’s no campaign going on,”Kristol continued, adding “Let’s pull the partisanship back. It’s genuine outrage. There should be bipartisan committees investigating both from Congress. So I wish the Republicans would just be quiet,

Daniel Snyder says Redskins

Daniel Snyder is owner of the Washington pro football team he grew up adoring. Would he ever consider changing the team name that many American Indians and others believe is a racial slur? "We will never change the name of the team," Snyder told USA TODAY Sports this week. "As a lifelong Redskins fan, and I think that the Redskins fans understand the great tradition and what it´s all about and what it means, so we feel pretty fortunate to be just working on next season." What if his football team loses an ongoing federal trademark lawsuit?

The Benghazi beat

In the run-up to yesterday’s House hearings on Benghazi, we were struck by a column by The New York Times’ public editor. It was written in response to readers angry that the paper was not giving the Benghazi hearings the coverage they merited. After suggesting that such criticism was politically motivated and “fomented by Fox News,” the editor offered an interesting conclusion. “The Times,” she wrote, “has had a tendency to both play down the subject, which has significant news value, and to pursue it most aggressively as a story about political divisiveness rather than one about national security

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

WASHINGTON – White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said Sunday Republicans owe Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, an apology for alleging she played a part in formulating the White House’s response to the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, last year that killed four Americans. Pfeiffer said on ABC’s “This Week” that the release of more than 100 pages of Benghazi emails and notes show “beyond a shadow of the doubt” that accusations she tried to change the narrative of what happened in the attacks was false. "And, frankly, I think that many of the Republicans
