“7 Reasons Why Mitt Romney’s Electability Is A Myth”
http://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2011/12/27/7_reasons_why_mitt_romneys_electability_is_a_myth/page/full/
Pretty good summary of the problems with Mitt, though he completely omits the elephant in the room: there’s no way the Republican Party should be running Mr RomneyCare in an election where one of the top issues will be Obamacare. How can we possibly mount the assualt on Obamacare necessary to repeal it when our candidate signed its precursor into law and still stands by it?

“….We await the ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court whether Congress can interfere in the President’s foreign policy and require the Government to allow Jerusalem to be labeled “Israel” on passports and consular birth records for those born in Israel’s capital. This is a landmark U.S. Constitutional law case, and the outcome will have a far-reaching impact on future diplomacy and legislation.
However, the case ignores a simple fact: The U.S. is obligated to recognize all Jerusalem as part of the State of Israel. This has been reaffirmed around a half-dozen times….”
Very interesting case at the same time unmasking the Obummer’s lies, lies and more lies.

By KHALED ABU TOAMEH
12/26/2011 00:32
Palestinians may cancel agreements signed between the PLO and Israel; Abbas paving way for Hamas and Islamic Jihad to take control over entire W. Bank, says Fatah official after Islamist groups agree to join PLO.
Talkbacks (1)
Mohammed Shtayyeh, member of the Fatah Central Committee and one of the Palestinian Authority negotiators with Israel, was quoted Sunday as saying that thePalestinians may cancel the agreements signed between the PLO and Israel.
Meanwhile, some PLO and Fatah leaders have privately criticized Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas for agreeing to incorporateHamas into the PLO.

Romney gave $100,000 to George W. Bush Presidential Library last year — this year Papa Bush implicitly endorsed his candidacy.
Romney contributed to a “gala dinner” for National Review website — now National Review writes a blistering hit piece denouncing Newt and Rick Perry.
Follow the money.

Trivial observations about today’s featured video (I guess I didn’t do my homework very well).
Today’s featured song, The In Crowd, has also been recorded by two of the other recently featured artists: Petula Clark, and the Mamas & Papas (be sure to check out the groovy M&P video collage).
A more famous version of the song was recorded by Ramsey Lewis later in 1965 and updated in 2004
Merry Christmas to you, your family, and your e-family (aka blogreaders).

Thanks for the music from the late Dobie Gray.
Here’s a pair of songs for today to share with the good professor and the visitors to the Tip Line:
1) a seasonal lullaby (secular, but lots of wonderful toy train memories):
Old Toy Trains
2) pondering the “tax cut” fiasco in DC, from the 1985 Tony award winning Broadway musical Big River:
[dad gum] Guv’ment – (Language Warning!)
(lyrics are here — hint: the line earning the warning is the rhyme for this line: “You got your damn hands in every pocket of my britches”)

This isn’t quite the same as bumper stickers, but over at Althouse there was a link to this:
Falk you, all you mother Falkers!
Some passersby are not pleased with a Baraboo motel co-owner’s quip about the ongoing attempt to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
The quip – highly political at best, borderline obscene at worst – is on display on the marquee in front of the motel on county Highway BD north of Baraboo.
The message, spelled out in plastic block lettering on the motel’s roadside marquee: “RECALL THE KOCH SUCKER NOW!”

Alan Grayson has changed his goal. Everytime I see one of his ads I click through to see his progress and in hopes of seeing that he has renounced his citizenship or some other type of good news.
This evening his goal changed to raising $500,000 this quarter (he’s within $6,000 of that). Last night the goal was $1,000,000 for the year, with roughly $36,000 to go.

Have you seen the MSNBC commercials out now?
I’m watching SYFY (yeah, hate the name) and MSNBC is spamming me with commercials.
The ad pushes Obama’s payroll tax cut (says the economy sucks because the middle class doesn’t have disposable income), and slams the Republicans (by name, actually says “Republicans”) for opposing takes hikes and ‘millionaire job creators’. Then asks where are the jobs.
The spot ends with the MSNBC graphic and their “Lean Forward” motto.
Doesn’t this disqualify them from ever pretending to be a News agency?
Could you imagine the D’s if Fox News had an ad out, on other networks, pushing the Republican legislative agenda and attacking the Democrats, by name, for theirs?
I can’t remember any other News agency ever running political ads, on their own dime, on other networks that clearly advocate a political agenda.

I said in a comment earlier this week that I think Mitt Romney may lose big because Axelrod hopes to have $1 billion to turn Romney into Gordon Gekko. I suspect they’ll have ads showing disgruntled former employees talking about how they were laid off during restructurings juxtaposed against images of Romney’s mansions and how much he paid for them.
You’re going to see stuff similar to that over and over and over again. At a time when distrust in capitalism is probably the highest it’s been in my lifetime, I don’t see how Romney can respond. By the time it’s all over Romeny will be synonomous with Gekko. I really believe it’s a disaster in the making.
Here’s Greg Plum confirming the Democrat’s plan to “Gekkoize” Romney.
