Paul asks "what is Romney afraid?" In the Straw Poll's PM

Texas Representative Ron Paul has been one of the most outspoken candidates in recent political history, not afraid of his own party or go back to stand up for their libertarian beliefs. His "Ready, Ames, Fire" moneybomb recently drew in hundreds of thousands of dollars for his campaign to use in its game before he does most of the "main building" he bid for and won a spot as universities where August 13th Ames Straw Poll will be held.

Now it seems Paul's sights have turned against the current leader, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, Paul's campaign sent a blistering MEMO to his followers Tuesday afternoon, decrying Romney for his "flip-flopping" and saying that; because of Romneys avoidance of Iowa and the grassroots support it holds, "many GOP voters desperate for a candidate who can go toe-to-toe with Governor Romney." Romney has only set foot in Iowa a handful of times since their last election bid, where he had an expensive 9-point loss in the 2008 Iowa Caucus to former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who claimed that 34 percent of the Iowa vote, particularly thanks to his strong Evangelical draw and good standing with women voters.

Paul's message calling on his supporters to maintain the momentum he has gathered in its fundraising in the last six months, Paul has been able to report the $ 4. 5 M, well above what his own expectations by email, in the donation totals for the 2nd quarter of 2011. He notes again that the current theme among media and political analysts are looking for a Republican challenge vs. Romney, which may probably arise from the Ames Straw Poll two weeks from now, but says "with my record of never toeing the line establishment, I am the last candidate who they want to recognise as a top contender."

He points to his history, his prophecy market failure and the financial crisis, critics, some of which are his past and present presidential rivals as he says now "falling over themselves" agree with him, and highlights his campaign promises, before his call for donations in any amount, but suggests between $ 35 and $ 2500 or $ 5000 common for married couples.

"President" Ron Paul would:

"Stop the spread of Socialist, Big Government health care and instead work to repeal" obamacare "monster." "Stop the growth of government spending, restrictive, and interference in our lives." "Tax cuts and eliminate the IRS, because I believe the money you earn is yours and does not belong to the Government. ""Audit the Federal Reserve, which I believe will serve as an important first step towards finally ending Fed once and for all. ""Ensure that the Federal Government returns to its constitutional limits by eliminating departments and bodies that are permitted by the Constitution. ""Lift big government schemes such as the so-called PATRIOT Act. ""Back to the founders more humble foreign policy. U.s. troops and taxpayers deserve better than to be used for "nation building" or police the world. We cannot afford trillion dollars international boondoggles that cost us our lives, our fortunes and our freedom. "

"Paul asks, what is Mitt Romney afraid?", but Romney is still a leader and it remains to see what his avoidance of Iowa makes his campaign, as he has far out-raised all their current rivals combined, a point which candidates Paul is quick to go up against, since much of Romneys money isn't from roots Americabut from large companies and organisations uninhibited by the Supreme Court's citizens United decision in January 2010.

The necessity of Iowa is more crucial to campaigns that former u.s. Senator Rick Santorums and former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, who both kept up the bottom of the pile when it comes to polling results and financial strength. It is also a bipartisan campaign-killer, in the 2008 Iowa delivered a serious blow to the Democratic campaigns by senior Chris Dodd of Connecticut and then-older Joe Biden of Delaware, who decided to abandon their White House runs after struggling in the last election cycle's Iowa Caucus. On the right side of the aisle took former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani in only 4% of the vote in the Iowa caucus, when you've chosen to instead in Florida to make a hopefully impressive appearance in the Super Tuesday primaries. He finished third and withdrew his presidential bid soon after. In 2008 Paul took fifth in Iowa, United States, with 10% of the vote, behind Fred Thompson and John McCain, each with 13%. He currently is ranked consistently at the top level in many recent presidential primary polls, much better than in 2008, when he was considered a long-shot.

Santorum: Debt Deal not balance the budget, is not enough

Former Pennsylvania, Rick Santorum this declaration attached to the debt ceiling measure, which will cut more than $ 2T in deficit and raise the country's loan limit. It is currently the President Obama's desk for signature.

"I commend speaker Boehner, Leader McConnell and the conservative leadership to move the ball in the right direction," said Senator Santorum. "Unfortunately, this agreement does not go far enough and it is not something that would have been made by a Santorum management because it does not perform the necessary objective to balance the budget. It is also disappointing that Congress members who want to be our President was not the leader of the legislative power to the Conservative cause. As President, will I be committed to passing a balanced Budget amendment, once and for all, to ensure we never again our nation fiscal health. "

Santorum has been a longtime supporter of the potential of a balanced Budget amendment to the United States Constitution. He currently makes a 3 day tour through western Iowa and has criticized Vice President Biden for their comments belonging to the tea party's role in the debt ceiling negotiations. Biden referred to reportedly Tea Party activism as a form of terrorism.

Mississippi initiative to outwit Roe v Wade, banning abortion

This year, will include a voter Mississippi ballot initiatives (26) to amend the State Constitution:
Paragraph 33.  Person defined.  Used in this article III of the State Constitution, "the term" person "or" persons "include any human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning and functional equivalent thereof.

The operation would formally to the unborn Foetus list of civil rights-bearers, which makes abortion illegal in the u.s. State of Mississippi, United States. The consequences are far-reaching and controversial for the forthcoming proposal. Obamacare would not be able to fund abortion in this State, a highly contentious issue in and of itself. Research on embryonic stem cells would be stopped. Contraceptions that prevent egg can receive sperm would be as easily obtainable, as in vitrofertilization (IVF). Appoint abortion as "murder" is no longer limited to a moral stance, but instead will hold legal weight. A challenge to Roe v. Wade (1973), the initiative is expected to reach the Supreme Court if it passed.

According to the Roe v. Wade, abortion should not be permitted if an unborn foetus has proven to be a "person" who legally defined by the 14th amendment. The following dialog is an extract from a discussion of personhood, from the case:

Justice Potter Stewart: well, if it was established that an unborn fetus is a person under the protection of the fourteenth amendment, would you almost an impossible goal here, would you not?

MS Sarah Weddington: I would have very difficult cases. [Laughter]

Justice Potter Stewart: You really should because you have the same type of thing you would have to say that this would be a counterpart to when the child was born.

MS Sarah Weddington: it is true.

Justice Potter Stewart: On modern thought it bothered her health to your child around, she could have it killed. Isn't it correct?

MS Sarah Weddington: It is correct.

So why the Court supported the abortionists then? This additional excerpt shows a deliberate focus on the rights of the mother rather than the rights that were allowed to an unborn child:

Justice Harry a. Blackmun: well, I get from this then your case is mainly due to the perception that the foetus has no constitutional rights?

MS Sarah Weddington: it depends on to say that the woman has an originator of a constitutional right, and that the State has failed to demonstrate a compelling interest to regulation in the area.

This was only possible because none of Texas or the Federal Constitutional Act had defined "person." Personhood Mississippi, the organisation behind the initiative 26, hoping to one-up Roe v. Wade by becoming the first State to define unborn Fetuses as "persons."

Romney "I personally do not support the" debt ceiling Deal

Former Massachusetts Governor and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said this to his supporters via his Twitter account early Monday morning in response to the news that some had come to raise the debt ceiling late Sunday evening. He, like many of his rivals, beating "lack of leadership" from President Obama, but voices its support for "the cut, the common agricultural policy and balance" measure adopted by the House but flatlined by the Senate earlier last week.

"As President, my plan would put forward a budget that is sliced, smooth and balanced – not one that opens the door to higher taxes and putting the defence cuts on the table. President Obama leadership failure has driven the economy to the brink at the eleventh hour and 59th minute. Although I appreciate the extremely difficult situation that President Obama's lack of leadership has placed Republican congressmen in support, I personally am not this settlement. "

Santorum beats Biden over Tea Party Terrorist remarks

Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum has come out strongly against Vice President Joe Biden comments Sunday describes Tea Party as "terrorists" against debt ceiling debate. Santorum has engaged in a tour of southern Iowa in the last few days working on his "little city strategy" as it is described by The Iowa Republican, an Iowa media publication.

Santorum posted Monday night on his social media sites two comments that his disgust and annoyance with Bidens remarks.

"Leaving a packed Townhall [i] n Clinton. Saw Bidens comment on Tea Party. No surprise that he did not have the right [a] bout terrorism this year. "

"Serious Joe-this is for you and your Office. Apologize and mean it. "

Biden has denied "with terrorism the word" to CBS News and reports from political to say that phrase may have been started by Republican Pennsylvania Representative Mike Doyle.

Vice President Biden may also have been the source for another series of controversial comments, this time centered on President Obama and the possibility of his invocation of the fourteenth amendment on a debt portion was not reach by the August 2 deadline. According to democratic Oregon representative Peter DeFazio, Biden expressed the President's willingness to use such a measure to the members of his own party over debt ceiling negotiations, a move that some have said may be unconstitutional.

Cain: "American people got Shortchanged"

Former Godfather Pizza CEO Herman Cain slammed the President's lack of leadership over debt ceiling negotiations in a statement released Tuesday. He calls for the lack of tax hikes a victory America voice, but expresses its disappointment at the increase in the limit of liability.

From Cain's statement:

"The American people are not so easilyfooled. They have seen the President as a man who has bitten into bitter partisanship instead of serious cooperation and whose numbers have replacedmature leadership. This failure will result in further deterioration of the financial markets and, as one source put it, "chipped away at the global authority of President Obama."

Although knowledge of this period for more than a year, the Obama administration continued to battle the taxpayers ' money as spending addict, focuses its attention on Obamacare, stimulus packages, rescue packages being enforced at and produced that is not the type of results the American people need and deserve. Instead of cutting the nation's credit card and support programme for stimulating private sector growth by encouraging the production and trade and relaxing regulations, requests the President and his democratic colleagues simply a credit line increase. And they wonder why we are broke?

While both parties may claim certain political victory in this compromise, was given the American people anything. On the debt ceiling will be raised, opens the door for further debt ceilings and tax increases with no signs of treatment for the abuse of spending in Washington.

I would like to congratulate the Americans who, through their unified voice could prevent tax hikes can be surrendered, despite the Obama administration and Congressional Democrats want. Assessment of a balanced budget amendment to us Constitution is also a step in the right direction to restore fiscal sanity to the Government.

Unfortunately, as we have seen when handling "ceiling debt crisis" America is on the wrong track with this leadership. "

Cain is facing his Iowa bus tour, leaves Monday for a six-day swing music by State to Herald his "common sense solutions" platform to the likely voters who can get him on 13th August at the Ames Straw Poll.

United States avoids default, S & P still cuts the country's AAA credit rating

Standard and poor's rating agency downgraded the U.S. score on Friday, marking the first downgrade of U.S. credit in our nation's history. U.S. rating has fallen one point, from AAA to AA-plus, issued together with a negative outlook to warn investors of a possible downgrade within the next two years. S & P said a further downgrade to AA would occur if less reduction in expenditure incurred than the President and Congress agreed to implement, interest rates are rising, or new fiscal pressures present themselves.

Credit rating agency's decision resulted from Tuesday's deficit reduction plan. S & P feels it has been unable to stabilize the United States's debt circumstances. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner urged Congress, first and foremost to raise debt ceiling to avert default. The Democrats wanted to have a "clean" bill, free of any financial plan, while Republicans withheld votes in an attempt to bring about a drastic expenditure cut agreement. But when an S & P warning Washington of a possible downgrading in April, former AAA rating was dependent on two conditions. Congress would need a) presents a long-term plan to tackle the deficit, and b) avoid U.S. standard. United States's new rating reflects a failure to complete the former.

S and P said in a statement that his perspective on "the difficulties in bridging the gap between the political parties" in the case of an effective budget reduction plan had changed. Now, the S & P says that it is "pessimistic about the Congress and administration to exploit their contracts this week in a broader fiscal consolidation and plan that stabilize Government debt dynamics anytime soon."

Paul's vote against raising the debt ceiling, "I have never, I will never"

"It is nice to see serious debate about our debt crisis, I can support reported the deal to raise the debt ceiling. I have never voted to raise the ceiling debt, and I never will.

"This settlement will reportedly cut spending with only just over 900 billion dollars over a period of ten years. But we will have a $ 1.6 trillion deficit after only, which means that these meager cuts this year will do nothing to resolve our unsustainable spending problems.

"Indeed, this Bill will never balance the budget. Instead, it adds the untold trillions of dollars to our deficit. This implies also the cuts which are real cuts and not the same old Washington smoke and mirrors game by spending less than originally planned, so you can claim the difference as a "cut".

"The plan also calls for the formation of a deficit Commission, which will do nothing outside of Congress and the White House with another way to abdicate responsibility.

"In my many years of public service, commissions on everything from Social Security to energy policy has occurred, but not a solution has been produced by these commissions.

"By denying members the opportunity to offer amendments and only allow an up or down vote which will take place in the hectic period between Thanksgiving and Christmas, this Commission essentially depriving the vast majority of members from that meaningfully participate in the debate over to reduce spending and to balance the budget.

"In addition, despite claims by the bill's proponents, there is nothing to stop the Commission from recommending tax increases.

"One of the reasons why I humbly propose that I am the most qualified presidential candidate in my experience, see and understand the long track record of success, disappointments and bad advice from such commissions.

"Times like these require statesmanship and steady leadership, which I and the Grassroots activists who have joined my campaign, I think is unique qualified to provide.

"What should concern us most is that the scope of this debt ceiling circus, we learned from a one-time fee, recent GAO limited inspection to ensure that the Federal Reserve had secretly pumped $ 16 trillion in u.s. and foreign banks for three years. All the Fed fat cat cronies were taken care of at the expense of the American public.

"That perspective, our entire national debt is $ 14.5 trillion and our annual deficit will be about $ 1.6 trillion, which means that the Federal Reserve was created and set aside more than our entire national debt to banks around the world in a few years. We have fought in Congress these past few weeks that raise our debt ceiling by $ 2 trillion, an amount of Fed secretly gave away to only a large bank.

"For decades, politicians have promised future restraint in exchange for hikes in the debt limit. We are always told that we must act immediately to avoid a crisis. But time and time again, politicians turn out to be unreliable and we soon find ourselves in a crisis which is headed by the same fj?rrkontrollfunktion who only want to maintain the status quo.

"I believe in the great American traditions of free markets, sound money and personal freedom. But we are far away from what made us the largest nation in human history. We need to cut spending and balance our budget now, before it is too late.

"Let me be clear. The cuts, we will not be easy, and it will be difficult times in the short term. But I have the utmost confidence that if we come together as a people, work hard, and do the right things, our country will be back on track in no time and going to unprecedented prosperity. But if we continue to print money and pyramid of debt, we will destroy ourselves and lose the promise of America forever.

"These difficult times requires a President who is willing to stand against rampant spending. If elected, I will veto any spending bill that contributes to an unbalanced budget, and I will balance the budget during the first year of my term. I am not going to the Federal Reserve to destroy the value of our money by shoveling dollars in the pockets of their banker friends.

"I remain committed to working on the American people to drastically cut spending and implement fundamental changes which will reform the Government and restore our nation's prosperity."

Gingrich: "Deal is a reminder of the urgent need to replace Obama"

Former speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, who in his speeches and public appearances often parallel to today's struggle to overcome budget and spending issues that were flooded with Washington and the media headlines in recent weeks with the same battles he meets during his time in the mid-1990 24?0?s, issued this statement on his Facebook before the current debt deal headed to the House and the Senate early Monday evening.

From Gingrich's post:

To "avoid standard is not a solution to the United States's job and the debt crisis. This agreement merely set the stage for an enormous amount of work is progressing – over the next two years – about how to create jobs, reduce public spending, return to balanced budgets and pay off our debt.

If the final result of this settlement is an increase of tax and/or debilitative cuts in our investment in national security, it will be a destructive failure. With so much work that remains to be done, is this deal yet another reminder of the urgent need to replace President Obama and his radical commitment to big government and higher taxes.

As President, I will approach the problem solving United States's debt crisis by adhering to three principles:

Job creation must be job one. The most urgent challenge America's crisis of Obama depression. Any deficit reduction efforts must therefore be carried out within the framework of what most would return America to the robust and long-term economic growth and job creation. This means that raising taxes must be outside the table. Raising taxes in the current economic climate could permanently cripple the American economy. Tax revenues should be increased through economic growth, not by further burdening United States's job creators and kill more jobs.

Keep the policy of national security. United States national security budgets must be based on fact-based assessment of what is needed to protect Americans, not on arbitrary political considerations. Our enemies and competitors does not cease to be aggressive while we sort out our fiscal problems.

Reduce expenditures by reforming and restructuring the Government. Try to find enough savings in the context of our present bloated bureaucratic big government is impossible. Real, sustainable savings can only come from a thorough review of how Government works, including their mysterious civil service rules. We want a smaller but also much more modern and effective Government. For example, strong America now, under the direction of Michael George, believe that the 500 billion dollars per year can be saved by applying Lean Six Sigma to the Federal Government.

Gingrich has been heavily against Obama's economic policies and has criticized members of the left alignment of the same methods and practices of former President ronald Reagan, who dealt with a struggling economy early in his first term as President. Gingrich statement another earlier this week shot blasting the past economic growth numbers, which he considers to be "hallmark" of Obama's Depression.
