Will THIS President Work With Opposition to Help America?

Would this egotistical, ill advised President work accross the aisle with opposition from either party? Is he willing to compromise with Conservites in a bi-partisan spririt to fix Americas issues and problems? You are sadly mistaken if you believe he would.

Rick Santorum Enters The GOP Presidential Race

The former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum has joined the Republican 2012 presidential race, promising to run on a socially conservative ticket.

Santorum's anti-abortion and anti-gay views could attract support in Iowa, where evangelicals are numerous and where the first of the caucuses is scheduled to be held in February.

Although he has been campaigning in Iowa and other key election states for months, he made the formal declaration that he is standing in an interview with ABC television on Monday morning.

"We're ready to announce that we are going to be in this race and we're in it to win," Santorum said.

He has an outside chance in a field in which is still wide open. Mitt Romney, who stood in 2008, leads the polls but there is little enthusiasm for him so far among grassroot Republicans, especially rightwingers.

In a recent Gallup poll Santorum, 53, was placed well down the field, recording only 2%. But a good showing in the debates, with the next scheduled for New Hampshire next Monday, could change that.

He is a stubborn conservative, insisting, long after even the Bush administration had conceded the point, that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Santorum is from a Catholic family in Pennsylvania, his father an immigrant from Italy and his mother a nurse. He has seven children.

He helped pass a bill banning late-term abortions, and caused anger in 2003 when he said states had the right to ban gay sex or other behaviour "antithetical to a healthy, stable, traditional family".

70% of Americans say: America is on the wrong track

Since President Obama assumed office in January 2009, confidence in the nation’s current course has ranged from a low of 22% to a high of 35% measured in early April 2009.

Seventy percent (70%) of voters now say the country is heading down the wrong track. Since January 2009, pessimism about the country's direction has ranged from 57% to 72%.

Most Republicans (88%) and voters not affiliated with either major political party (74%) believe the United States is heading down the wrong track. Among Democrats, 36% say the country is heading in the right direction, while 49% say it's heading down the wrong track.

If a Conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

If a Conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a Conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
Liberals will delete it because they are "offended."

SENATE and HOUSE Republicans are you getting it?

Pollster JOHN ZOGBY interviewed

"The problem is the President is facing is that he is fighting the market" --> "We're private sector people"
... Really Mr Zogby? you should take NOTICE those private sector believing elected officials that are trying to KILL THE PRIVATE SECTOR with the GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER OF HEALTHCARE

America's Political Climate Disected by John Zogby

Zogby believes Republicans will benefit from the Democrats’ missteps and pick up 25 seats in the House and 10 seats in the Senate.

He predicts Illinois Republican Rep. Mark Kirk will pickup Obama’s former Senate seat and that Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., is vulnerable against former Rep. Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania, but he does not know how much damage Specter’s primary challenger, Rep. Joe Sestak, will inflict.

At the same time, he believes Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., will successfully fend off his primary challenge from conservative former Rep. J.D. Hayworth.

Zogby also believes former Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio could end up “winning the battle but losing the war” in the Senate race against Florida's Republican Gov. Charlie Crist. Zogby says he is uncertain how well tea party-backed candidates will do in the general election.

Paying for Washington's Mistakes

Paying For Washington's Mistakes
IBD Editorials: Posted 11/03/2009 06:51 PM ET

Taxation: Policymakers piled up a $1.4 trillion deficit for fiscal 2009. The figure is so high that if Congress were to use the income tax to balance the budget, rates would have to be nearly tripled.

The 2009 deficit was larger than the combined federal debt of the first two centuries of the country's existence. As staggering as that is to the mind, the 2010 deficit projects to be even bigger, roughly $1.5 trillion.

Unless Washington issues another foolish stimulus package or decides it will continue its ill-advised bailout business, the deficits should moderate somewhat. But the debt created by the deficits will still have to be paid. Ultimately, taxpayers will have to satisfy Washington's massive tab.

While it's unlikely policymakers would try to use income tax revenues — which provide almost half of all federal revenues — to close the deficits, it's instructive to see how high the rates would have to go to do that. Data from the Tax Foundation show this Congress and administration are poor stewards of other people's money and are failing their constitutional duty to protect the future of the republic.

The biggest hit in a world in which Washington bridged the budget gap with income tax revenues would be, naturally, on those who have the largest incomes.

The rates for joint filers earning at least $373,601 would have to be almost tripled, from 35% to 95.2%, to help close the 2010 deficit. (See table.) Though the brackets are at different income levels, the rate progressions are the same for single filers.

The rates would not be as punitive in 2012, when the deficit is smaller, but they would still be excessive. Those at the top of the income scale would be moved from 39.6%, the rate that will be reinstated after the Bush tax cuts expire, to 74.1%.

Those on the lowest end of the income scale would not fare much better. Their rates would have to jump from 10% to 27.2% to help eliminate the 2010 deficit, and from 10% to 18.7% to help close the 2012 deficit.

In terms of overall tax bills, the increases are just as alarming.

The average tax bill for a joint return in 2010 will be $7,169. If the deficit were to be closed, however, the federal government would have to have an average of $19,001 from each couple filing jointly (See table). For joint filers with taxable incomes from $50,000 to $75,000, the tax bill would triple, from $4,208 to $12,537.
