Great Speech this afternoon by Newt Gingrich at the 2012 CPAC Convention!
Human EventsIn truth, last month's drop in the unemployment statistic was due largely to the evaporation of 1.2 million people from the labor force number. When people become so discouraged they stop actively looking for work, they are no longer counted as unemployed and the rate goes down even though Americans are hardly better off than they were before.
In reality, almost half a million fewer Americans are employed today than when President Obama took office. The real unemployment rate, counting those who are unemployed, underemployed, or have looked for work in the past 12 months but since given up, is closer to 15 percent. More Americans are relying on food stamps than ever before. Teenage unemployment during the Obama administration is the highest since records began in 1948, with almost one in four teenagers who wants to work today unable to find a job. 8.2 million Americans have only part-time employment either because they can't find full-time work or because their hours have been cut back.

“In conjunction with the anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade, the Obama Administration announced that, beginning in August 2012, all U.S. employers would be required to offer
health plans that fully cover the cost of birth control, sterilizations, and abortifacients for all women they employ.
“Religious freedom is sacred in our constitution and should be respected by public officials who swear to bear allegiance to it. Instead, the Obama Administration willfully developed a policy
that tramples the rights of faith-based organizations by requiring that their employee health insurance plans fully cover the cost of birth control, sterilizations and aborifacients. It is reprehensible that this Administration shows no respect for those whose conscience would be violated under the new mandate. Under this new mandate, beginning in 2013, religious institutions that sponsor employee health plans would have to begin offering plans that provide contraception, sterilizations, and abortifacients at no cost, to all employees.
As Archbishop Timothy Dolan aptly put it, ‘In effect, the president is saying we have a year to figure out how to violate our consciences.’ This is wrong.
“To restore conscience protections under President Obama’s health care law, we have cosponsored Senator Rubio’s bill, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 2012, and Senator Blunt’s bill,
the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act of 2011.”

The president said American manufacturing still needs a boost and "We have got to make sure we are pushing American energy, not just oil and gas, but clean energy."
During the NBC interview, Obama actually stated that he deserves a second term. Unreal. For what? For sky-high unemployment? For being the only president in history to run trillion dollar
deficits in every year of office?
"Saving the America Auto Industry: Something Eminem and Clint Eastwood can agree on," tweeted Dan Pfeiffer, the White House spokesman. Added David Axelrod, Obama's chief strategist: "Powerful spot." Filmmaker Michael Moore was a bit more direct (and apologies for the Twitterese): "Your sermon seemed 2 b a call 2 give O his 'second half.'"

We think that paints a rather clear picture. CD9 would consist of a new constituency for Congressman Quayle. On the contrary, a large majority of CD 9 is already familiar with Congressman Schweikert. The argument that Congressman Quayle abandoned his district is not accurate. Nearly 70% of the district that voted him into office resides in CD 6.
The Schweikert campaign has conveniently withheld a good deal of relevant information...while immediately opting to go negative in their messaging.
February 8, 2012Under a revised White House program, second homes—whether owned as a rental property investment, as a vacation home, or just as an extra mortgage from a house-flipping project gone array—are now eligible for taxpayer subsidies to reduce the principal on the underlying mortgage. This means that even though you made a poor investment decision with that home in Miami, taxpayers will now help foot the bill to reduce your mortgage by several hundred thousand dollars at little cost to you.
Mortgages on rental properties are now eligible for modification—meaning the total amount owed, not just the interest rate, may be reduced to avoid foreclosure. If the home you live in cost you
$300,000 (plus interest on the mortgage) when you bought it, but now is worth just $225,000, HAMP could pay a lender to summarily knock $75,000 off the mortgage. If you own a second home and rent it out (even if that was not the original purpose of the home) you could get the same deal for a mortgage that started out at $700,000 but today is worth substantially less.

Monti stated, “It takes an endorsement just like this to overcome a self acknowledged career politician. I respect Councilman Mitchell’s service but Tempe can do better to fill Mayor Hallman’s big shoes. I appreciate the Tempe Chamber of Commerce recognizing this and encouraging someone from the business sector to move Tempe forward.”
HHS tells religious believers to go to hell. The public notices.
