Mitt Romney in striking distance of Iowa win
Don’t look now, but Mitt Romney suddenly seems like the Iowa front-runner.
The former Massachusetts governor has carefully tempered expectations
in Iowa all year, visiting only a handful of times and saving the bulk
of his television spending for the final weeks of the race. But as a
crowd of conservative opponents keep the anti-Romney vote divided, his
odds of a victory in the state that humbled him four years ago have
never been better.
Even as he tried to keep talk about his
prospects in check Tuesday, a slew of public and private polling and
anecdotal evidence on the ground suggests that Romney is within striking
distance of a first-place finish in Iowa — especially as Ron Paul’s
momentum spurt appears to have run into the reality of front-runners’
scrutiny.

VIDEO: Romney: Gingrich Like ‘Lucille Ball At Chocolate Factory’
quote:
Appearing
in Portsmouth, Romney noted a statement that Gingrich’s campaign
director compared the former House speaker’s recent inability to qualify
for the Virginia ballot as a setback comparable to Pearl Harbor from
which the campaign would recover.
“I think he compared that to Pearl Harbor? I think it’s more like Lucille Ball at the chocolate factory 
,” Romney said in reference to the famous I Love Lucy skit in which the
comedienne was overwhelmed by a rapid assembly line of candies. “You’ve got to get it organized*."
I'm far from a Blingrich fan..but as we used to say after a defeat in the union movement...don't mourn--*organize.

Islamic Honor Killing In Texas: "Santa Killer" Was Muslim Who Hated Daughter Dating A Non-Muslim
quote:
The
mainstream media has reported this as the "Santa killer." No mention
that it was an Islamic honor killing until this Dallas Morning News
story. Our daughters and granddaughters are going to be the ones who
will suffer because of this obfuscation and excusal of barbarism.
This has been going on for years. When Amina and Sarah Said were
brutally murdered by their father, also in Texas, on New Year’s Day 2008
for the same reason -- having non-Muslim boyfriends -- I thought, this
is it. This is going to break the dam wide open. America would not,
could not possibly, ignore this horror caused by and sanctioned by
Islamic beliefs, assumptions, and attitudes.
And yet America continues to ignore this horror. And more and more people are victimized every day.

U.S. Fleet Warns Iran That Closing Straits of Hormuz ‘Will Not Be Tolerated’
quote:
(TheBlaze/AP)
— Iran’s navy chief warned Wednesday that his country can easily close
the strategic Strait of Hormuz at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, the
passageway through which a sixth of the world’s oil flows.
It
was the second such warning in two days. On Tuesday, Vice President
Mohamed Reza Rahimi threatened to close the strait, cutting off oil
exports, if the West imposes sanctions on Iran’s oil shipments.
In response, the Bahrain-based U.S. 5th Fleet’s spokeswoman warned that
any disruption “will not be tolerated.” The spokeswoman, Lt. Rebecca
Rebarich, said the U.S. Navy is “always ready to counter malevolent
actions to ensure freedom of navigation.”

The RomneyCare Blues
quote:
The
American people, in 2008, were taken in by soaring rhetoric and
well-produced theatre resulting in the election of the worst president
since before the Civil War. Today, the Republican primary voter is
faced with less than ideal choices in deciding upon a candidate to
oppose and defeat Barack Obama. While that is often the case in
election cycles, in 2012 the selection of the candidate has taken on
added importance, as that person must be able to implement bold and
dramatic changes.
See, you will hopefully see that
more, & more conservatives that want to tell the truth---and will
start telling you how truly weak this field is..

In Strategy Shift, Romney Making Play for Iowa
quote:
As
the rest of the Republican presidential candidates leap-frog one
another in the polls, Mitt Romney has over the last several days watched
his numbers quietly rise, lending confidence to his sudden push for a
strong finish in the Iowa caucuses.
All along, the former
Massachusetts governor's strategy was built around a dominating
performance in the first-in-the-nation primary, in New Hampshire. Iowa, a
caucus state where he finished a distant second to former Arkansas Gov.
Mike Huckabee in 2008, had not been a priority for Romney -- he skipped
the Iowa straw poll in August and until recently had for the most part
kept the state off his campaign itinerary.

I sketched out a few plot elements, and you can decide whether this will fly.
First, the Trojan Horse president would initiate unprecedented
spending, driving the debt up by more than $4 trillion just in the first
three years. Much of the money would go into the pockets of political
supporters and people who donate heavily to his campaigns.
He would ram through an unreadable law allowing the federal government
to seize the healthcare system, which would transform citizens into
beholden subjects.
