First, Todd Palin endorsed Newt for President last January 9th, then last night on Hannity, Sarah said she would like to keep things going by voting for Newt in South Carolina.  Do you think this video from September 2008 could have anything to do with their fondness for Newt?   Imagine a little of this come presidential debate time.

McCain’s Opposition Research File on Mitt Romney is proving itself to be not only informative but quite insightful as to the character of Gov. Romney.  The last six pages of the file are titled “Boston Video Archive” and they’re particularly interesting.   The 97 tapes therein contain Gov. Romney’s personal opinions on everything from taxes, fees, social issues, and immigration, ending with a section titled “Family/Personal”.

Check out that final page 200…and the last line:  Romney:  “I thought becoming rich and famous would make me happy. Boy was I right.” (Tape 78)  Just how is that going to play in Peoria?    (more…)

Enjoy the following video.  It contains what the MSM is now calling a “violent metaphor” when referring to the nation’s first black president.  Pfft….might as well toss in a couple of those targets while you’re at it too.

Look at what just popped up over at Ann Barnhardt’s site:

“I’m going to be hypocritical here for a moment and post this video about Mitt Romney that just hit YouTube tonight. Back in June, when I was still working under the assumption that the country could maybe be salvaged, I made a video exposing Mitt Romney and all of his bought-and-paid-for, Marxist, Fascist, oligarchical crap.

Well, some people have taken that video of mine and built an entire 52 minute piece around it, inserting citations, clips of Romney himself, news stories, and all kinds of HILARIOUS pop-culture references. There are movie clips, Randall the Honey Badger guy (a huge guilty pleasure of mine) makes several appearances, even Beavis and Butthead have cameos. The work that went into this was enormous, and the editing is superb. It is long, but it is very informative while being laugh-out-loud funny.  Well done guys.”  (h/t GracieD)

Andrew Kaczynski has found John McCain’s entire 200-page opposition research book on Mitt Romney.  (John McCain…the guy Romney lost to.  Irony much?)  Let us know if you find anything interesting.  You can bet Obama’s team has already read it several times.

(PoliticsBuzz)…A document found online by BuzzFeed appears to be John McCain’s entire, 200-page opposition research file — or “book” — on Mitt Romney from 2008, the year they were bitter rivals. Segments of the book have been posted on RedState.com, but this is the first time the document has been shared for public consumption in its entirety.

Uh…uh…uh…topped off with a cheesy smile.

This afternoon, Mark Levin made an in-studio appearance with Neil Cavuto to discuss his new book “Ameritopia”, as well as the current GOP race for president.  It was a great interview where the two discussed an ever invasive and all-encompassing government.  Levin said, “My big fear is we’re already in a post-constitutional America….the government is attacking the individual.” When asked for his candidate of choice, Levin replied, “I like Santorum”, but he continued, “I’d vote for an orange juice can against Obama.”   

You know who this helps…

(NYTimes)…CHARLESTON, S.C. — Jon M. Huntsman Jr. informed his advisers on Sunday that he intends to drop out of the Republican presidential race, ending his candidacy a week before he had hoped to revive his campaign in the South Carolina primary.
Mr. Huntsman, who had struggled to live up to the soaring expectations of his candidacy, made plans to make an announcement as early as Monday. He had been set to participate in an evening debate in Myrtle Beach.
A third-place finish in the New Hampshire primary last week failed to jump start his flagging candidacy, aides said, and his campaign limped into South Carolina with little money. Mr. Huntsman has spent days pondering his future in the race, but aides said that he concluded he was unlikely to topple Mitt Romney or match the momentum of his Republican rivals in the conservative Southern primary.  Mr. Huntsman will endorse Mr. Romney’s bid for the Republican nomination this week, according to several people who spoke on condition of anonymity.  (more…)

Fourteen ton spacecraft still has 11 tons of toxic rocket fuel on board…(rollover below)

After a long delay in the posting of the late-Saturday NORAD tracking fit for Phobos-Grunt, internet watchers were beginning to worry that the spacecraft had already broken up in the atmosphere about a day before most predictions.  That vigil ended last night, at around 10:40pm Treehouse time.  One thing that can be concluded from this update, other than the vehicle being intact, is that the orbit decay trends are continuing fairly smoothly.  You probably won’t hear this elsewhere, but that may indicate that the Russian space agency ROSCOSMOS has not been completely straight about the tank material housing the toxic propellants.  If it were aluminum as stated, the tanks likely would have ruptured after more than a day of being engulfed by plasma, especially since the vehicle seems to be flying in a tanks-first attitude.  The propellants would have been scattered by now, dramatically decreasing the mass of the vehicle, and causing a spike in the decay rate.  This apparently hasn’t happened.  The vehicle seems to have held together so far, and that’s a bad sign.  In my opinion, it supports the suspicion that the tanks are really titanium, which will probably survive the reentry all the way to the ground.    (more…)

This video debuted on YouTube only three days ago but already has over six million views.  Quoting its author, Jefferson Bethke…”A poem I wrote to highlight the difference between Jesus and false religion. In the scriptures Jesus received the most opposition from the most religious people of his day. At it’s core Jesus’ gospel and the good news of the Cross is in pure opposition to self-righteousness/self-justification. Religion is man centered, Jesus is God-centered. This poem highlights my journey to discover this truth. Religion either ends in pride or despair. Pride because you make a list and can do it and act better than everyone, or despair because you can’t do your own list of rules and feel “not good enough” for God. With Jesus though you have humble confident joy because He represents you, you don’t represent yourself and His sacrifice is perfect putting us in perfect standing with God!”
