Exclusive: Jeb Bush Meets with Former Aides Near White House

Exclusive: Jeb Bush Meets with Former Aides near White House - By Robert Costa - The Corner - National Review Online#

Former Florida Govenor Jeb Bush

Oh no! Not again!  The way things are appearing, I venture to say that former Florida governor Jeb Bush is prepping himself for a presidential run in 2016.  There have been rumors for some time that Bush might be the GOP candidate in 2016.  The last thing we need is another Bush in the White House.  The Bush's are globalists.  Much of the damage that's been done within the last decade is due to the direction the Bush administration took us to from 2001-09.  The passage of the Patriot Act in October 2001, the never-ending wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, The No-Child Left Behind Act of 2002, the mortgage meltdown, and the TARP bailout took place undedr Bush's tenure.  That led to the election of Barack Hussein Obama in 2008. 

If Jeb Bush were to be elected in 2016 as president, he would allow for amnesty for illegal aliens and would be the monkey boy for the forces of Nimrod like his brother was.  Bush would be a disaster for the country if he were to be elected president in 2016.  I wouldn't be surprised if he were to become the GOP nominee in 2016.  Bush is the type of man the globalists would desire to be in office.  It seems like the presidency of the U.S. is becoming a monarchy.  We've already had Bush '41 and Bush '43 in office.  The last thing we need is a Bush '45 in office.  However, I guess it's all about royal patronage.  It wouldn't be so scary if I didn't believe it were to be true.  If Bush submits his name for the presidency in 2016, then I'll venture to say he'll most likely be the GOP nominee.

Top Republicans Signal Willingness to Break Anti-Tax Pledge

According to Newsmax, there are growing signs within the Republican ranks that the no-tax pledge they have long upheld they are now supposedly willing to bolt on it.  Four Republicans have signaled willingness to do so.  Senators Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Saxby Chambliss, and Rep. Peter King have stated they viewed the no-tax pledge designed by Grover Norquist to be binding upon them.  The decades-old pledge designed by Americans for Tax Reform has been signed by 238 House members and 41 members of the Senate.  Now we're having an elite group of Republicans that's willing to step away from that.  What a tragedy we don't have Republicans that stand for their principles like Democrats do.  House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has a backbone of steel when it comes to standing for what she believes.  I wish we had Republicans that were adamant about what was right as Nancy Pelosi is when it comes to promoting the leftist agenda.  We don't have a single member of the GOP like that. 

I believe it's immoral for these RINO's to bolt from the no-tax pledge.  There's no excuse for our lawmakers to pass on a tax increase to us when they spend money like a drunken sailor.  The GOP House under crybaby RINO John Boehner hasn't done anything to eliminate wasteful spending.  It's a crying shame.

Republicans Say Raising Taxes Alone Will Hardly Put Deny in Budget, Deficit

Republicans say raising tax rates alone will hardly put dent in budget, deficit | Fox News




GOP Congressman Tom Price from Georgia in 2009.

Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga) made the statement the other day that ending the rates from the Bush tax cuts for families earning more than $250,000 a year would produce only enough money for the government to run for less than nine days.  That's the truth.  I personally don't know how much revenue would be generated from tax increases from the wealthy but it wouldn't be enough to last that long.  The reason is (1) there aren't that many wealthy people in America (2) and the government's spending is way out of control.  I believe it would be thievery for the federal government to raise taxes upon the American people anyway.  The government overspends and they haven't done one thing to rein in out-of-control federal spending.  They have no right to impose higher taxes upon the so-called wealthy.  They won't do their part to tighten their belts when it comes to federal spending.  Therefore, they have no business asking the American people to tighten their belts and cough up more money for Uncle Sam. 

What the federal government wants is control over the American people.  That's why the tax code is the way it is.  They can play the class warfare game with the progressive tax code.  If the government was serious about raising more revenue, then they would loosen the stranglehold on businesses which hinder them from creating more jobs.  If the regulations over businesses were drastically reduced, businesses would grow, hire more people, and bring more taxable receipts to the government.  Our elected elite know that.  They don't care.  Our government is all about controlling our lifestyle.  The government is transforming itself into a dictatorship.

With the re-election of Barack Obama, it's no surprise that Morgan Stanley predicts that 2013 will be a sluggish year economically.  With his re-election, Obamacare will be fully implemented in 2014.  Also, if Congress fails to act, there will be major tax increase that will take place automatically if the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts aren't renewed.  That does sound gloomy, doesn't it?  To read the full story, click on the above link from CNBC.

Obama Thanksgiving Address: Calls to United Behind WH, Doesn't Thank God

Obama Thanksgiving address: Calls to unite behind WH, doesn’t thank God | The Daily Caller

President Obama with daughters Sasha (Center) and Malia (Right).  I don't know who the man to the left is.

For the fourth year in a row, President Obama once against didn't give thank God or give credit to God for the many bountiful blessings that's bestowed upon America.  Of course, who should be surprised?  Obama's thinking is rooted in communism and communism is atheistic.  If you don't believe me, then read Karl Marx, the founder of communism.  He was considered an atheist.  I'm not insinuating that Barack Obama is an atheist.  I don't believe he is.  But if you recall who President Obama's former pastor was, you should be able to understand why Obama isn't going to God for America's blessings.  I'll say this, if he worships a god, then it's probably Allah.  It's an indisputable fact that he was a Muslim when he lived in Indonesia in his youth.  As far as I'm concerned, he's probably a closet Muslim.  He's always defending Islam in the Muslim world. 

Tragically, America re-elected Barack Obama just a few weeks ago.  So we'll have to live with him at least another four more years.  It's amazing we have re-elected a president that stands in opposition to America's heritage.  What a sad day we live in.

Boehner: Obamacare on Table For 'Fiscal Cliff' Talks

Boehner: Obamacare on table for 'fiscal cliff' talks | Politics - Home

House Speaker John Boehner in Congress for "fiscal cliff" talks

Congressional leaders and President Obama have met on Capitol Hill to supposedly search for "common ground" on Capitol Hill to reach a budget deal.  House Speaker John Boehner said the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, must be included on the table in deficit negotiations.

John Boehner is dead wrong when he said that Obamacare is on the table for deficit negotiations.  Obamacare should be repealed.  Since the Senate is Democratic and President Obama is a Democrat, then the House should take the lead to defund Obamacare.  Obamacare shouldn't be included in the budget.  It's too expensive and I believe it will destroy the economy once the key provisions are enacted in 2014.  Some say, what if the government shuts down?  Then maybe it should shut down.  The Republicans need to stand up to Obama's bluff.  It's time Republicans start acting like patriots and stand up to President Obama.  Obamacare shouldn't be funded.  Consequently, I don't think Boehner will have the audacity to defund Obamacare. 

CARDENAS: Republican too White, Male, Old

CARDENAS: Republicans too white, male, old - Washington Times



Since Mitt Romney's disappointing loss in the presidential election a few weeks ago, several naysayers have been predicting the reason for Romney's loss in the election.  Many are saying the problem with the GOP is they are too conservative and the influence of the "right-ring" media such as Rush Limbaugh, for example.  Also, they are saying the GOP vote is comprised of old, white, men.  That's the explanation many are giving for the GOP's loss this past November.  That's not the truth.  Here are some of the reasons why the GOP lost in November.

One of the reasons that the GOP lost the presidential election was the simple fact Mitt Romney ran a very wimpish campaign.  He was a very weak candidate that didn't make his case very well before the American public.  He didn't call Obama out for who he was.  He didn't say how he would deal with the issue of illegal immigration.  He didn't have any fire in his bosom.  It was a joke.  I personally don't think he ran to win.  He was far from the candidate that was needed to show the American people he was the man for the job.  It was ridiculous given the fact that President Obama was vulnerable considering the state of the American economy.  I believe everything was set up for an Obama win. 

Another problem was the issue of changing demographics, as Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly pointed out on election night to Brett Baier and Megyn Kelly.  The United States has been infiltrated with Hispanics within the last few decades due to unrestrained illegal immigration.  Many of them vote Democratic.  We also have a growing segment of the population that are receiving government benefits.  Within the last few years millions of Americans have lost jobs due to the mortgage meltdown and more of them are receiving jobless benefits.  There are also those who believe the government owes them a living.  There are some people who claimed they voted for President Obama because of free cell phones.  There are also a group of deadbeats who are content to live on government welfare.  That's one of the problems with America's culture.  People want free benefits but have no desire to earn their living.  That mentality is far from the American Dream that built this great nation. 

Another problem is the dumbing down of America's schools.  As a result, we are having a growing segment of young people who are voting Democratic.  According to a Pew Research survey, 66% of those under the age of 30 voted for Barack Obama.  That's more young people voting for a Democratic president than any time since exit polling began in 1972. 

The GOP doesn't need to tone down their message.  They need to do a much better job in marketing their message.  The problem is I believe the GOP have willfully toned down their message in the last 2 presidential elections to give the election to Barack Obama.  The GOP must stick to their principles.  It's ridiculous for them to compromise their message.  The GOP has had the right message in the past.  The problem is they don't enforce what the party platform stands for.  We have too many RINO's in the GOP.  They want to compromise with issues that are worth compromising.  Why vote for the GOP if they're going to behave like Democrats?  It's ludicrous.  They need to stand with the Constitution.  That also includes cracking down on illegal immigration.  They shouldn't be crafting a new platform to grant amnesty to illegal aliens.  They need to pass a law to create a triple-tiered border fence.  They need to tell those that are living illegally in the United States they can't remain here as illegals.  If they are going to remain in the U.S. they must apply for a permit to live in the U.S. or they must go through the proper channels to apply for citizenship.  The day that illegals live in the U.S. as illegals must end.  We can't have undocumented people living here in the United States.  Not only is it too dangerous but it's also not fair to those that live her legally.  The problem is the GOP wants to abandon their principles for the sake of compromise.  Nobody wants to stand for what's right.

Steve Forbes Surprise: Yes to Higher Tax Rates

Steve Forbes Surprise: Yes to Higher Tax Rates


Steve Forbes

Forbes editor Steve Forbes came out to offer Democrats a "piece of advice" as they head into budget talks to avoid the so-called "fiscal cliff" that our country is facing: Raise taxes to Clinton-era levels but only alongside the former president's policies that strengthened the dollar, loosened economic restrictions, and reduced federal spending.  If Steve Forbes believes that's going to happen, he's got holes in his brain.  That will not happen.  I will also point out if wasn't president Clinton's intentions when he ran for president in 1992 to adopt the particular policies of loosening economic restrictions or reducing federal spending.  The reason why federal spending was reduced, capital gains taxes were cut, and the looser restrictions on the economy were the result of both Houses of Congress turning Republican in 1995.  If Clinton had his way Hillary's own version of healthcare would've passed and federal spending wouldn't have been reduced.  He had no choice with the GOP who took over Congress during that time.  They helped balance Clinton out--which was something the 112th Congress hasn't done to Obama.  Instead House Speaker John Boehner rolls over for President Obama. 

In 1982 Democrats talked Reagan into a bipartisan compromise to cut spending three dollars for every dollar of tax increases.  Taxes were raised but they weren't followed by spending cuts.  It wouldn't be any different this time.  Forbes knows that his formula isn't going to work.  President Obama isn't going to loosen economic restrictions.  In order to do so, Obamacare will have to be repealed.  Obama will never agree to that.  The goal of the Obama administration is to take control of the economy.  President Obama doesn't believe in a free-market economy.  He wants a command economy, where the government dictates what businesses can produce, such as green technology, for example.  The economy is going the direction he desires for it to go.  If Obama wanted to turn the economy around, he would've already done so.  Raising taxes isn't the answer.  The problem is overspending and there's no commitment from either party to eliminate wasteful government spending and needless bureaucracy.
