“You guys got any problems you want me to handle, like a fire anywhere, people trapped? Like a bad automobile accident where you need me to help some folks?…Maybe a cat in a tree?” - N.J. Gov. Chris Christie, in a spoof video with Newark Mayor Cory Booker. It was produced for the New Jersey Legislative Correspondents Club dinner.

Koch brothers convene secret billionaire’s meeting to discuss election
UNDERNEWS (TPR) - 2/4/12 1:14 PM
Lee Fang, Republic Report - At a retreat last weekend, dozens of wealthy donors convened in a large golf resort in Indian Wells, Calif. for a four day conference to raise money and plot out election year strategy, the Republic Report has confirmed. We traveled to the conference, and spoke to a few of the attendees.

The summit, organized by the billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, was cloaked in secrecy. Helicopters, private security and police officers from neighboring cities patrolled the area constantly.

Thank You Rachael Maddow for starting to put the pieces together on the true Republican strategy.  As I stated in over 6 months ago (6/2011)…  Republicans intend to eliminate Unions. They (Republicans) are truly trying to take over this country —no holds barred.  What I said then:

Chris Matthews' Epic Rant On Romney: 'He Wouldn't Be Caught Dead At A Tea Party Meeting'

This is the best explaination of why Mitt Romney cannot really gain the support of the base… and why he will not win the general election.  Great, great reasoning for why Mitt cannot even begin to relate to the average American… and why now is not the time for an uber-rich person to run for president.

The Smithian: [via the Daily Kos] An open letter to the people who hate Obama more than they love America

thesmithian:

Now that you have thrown everything and the kitchen sink at President Obama and it still hasn’t worked you are panicking. Obama’s approval ratings are still near 50% despite your best efforts to undermine the economy and America’s recovery at every step you can. You tried to hold the…

Amen

Salon.com's 7 tactics the GOP is using to block your vote

Looks like more media sources are beginning to catch on to the reality that the Republicans will be working extra hard this year to block the minority and young vote.  

And why would the GOP want to do this?  As I pointed out in my GOP ‘manifesto’ they are out numbered —and they must reduce the number of potential democratic votes.
