Zogby Says Bachmann Leads GOP Nationally
Democrat John Zogby continues to go against the grain with his Interactive polls and shows Michele Bachmann dominating the Republican field nationally.
PRESDIENT – NATIONAL – GOP PRIMARY (Zogby)
Michele Bachmann 28%
Herman Cain 16%
Mitt Romney 15%
Ron Paul 13%
Tim Pawlenty 4%
Jon Huntsman 4%
Newt Gingrich 4%
Rick Santorum 3%
Gary Johnson 1%
Fred Karger <1%
If Rick Perry’s name is thrown in along with Sarah Palin and Chris Christie, Perry would lead the field at 21%. In General Election match ups, some of the Republicans now lead Obama nationally.
PRESIDENT – NATIONAL (Zogby)

Jon Huntsman Jr. (R) 31%
These numbers just seem to be weird when compared to others. This poll was done June 8-11 among 2132 likely voters and 1015 likely Republican primary voters.
First
Another good poll for Paul
Take Zogby polls with a grain of salt…However, the second set of polls shows that the only two candidates (one not yet declared) who can have a chance against Obama are Perry and Romney – and there’s your GOP ticket, switched either way around.
According to Zogby, any elephant will beat the donkey.
I am sure this is Zogby Interactive.
Invalid, unrepresentative polling.

That would be a cliffhanger
From NRO about the debt limit squabble.
More details from McConnell’s office:
The initial legislation would authorize the President to submit a request to Congress asking to increase the debt limit by $700 billion, and would require submission of a plan to reduce spending by a greater amount.
Upon receipt of the President’s request, the debt limit would be provisionally increased by $100 billion to provide breathing room and avert an August 2nd default.
The House and Senate would have 15 days to disapprove of the request.
Within three days of the President’s request, it would be in order for the House and Senate to introduce a joint resolution disapproving of the President’s request.
Under expedited consideration of the Resolution of Disapproval, the resolution would be placed directly on the Senate calendar; the Motion to Proceed to the resolution would be privileged; there would be 10 hours of debate and passage would require a simple majority.
If either chamber defeats the resolution, the remaining $600 billion increase would be allowed.
If both chambers pass the resolution, it would be sent to the President for a veto or signature.
If vetoed, debate on an override would be limited to one hour.
If the veto is overridden (which would require a 2/3 vote) in both chambers, then the request would be denied and the provisional $100 billion increase revoked.
If the veto is sustained in either chamber, the remaining $600 billion increase would be allowed.
For the second and third requests in fall 2011 and summer 2012, the President could request an increase of the debt limit by $900 billion once the Treasury Department determines that the country is within $100 billion of the debt limit. The President would also be required to submit a plan to reduce spending by a greater amount. Each of these subsequent requests would be subject to the same disapproval process outlined above.
So would this be illegal under new boycott laws? yep!

Portland BDS Coalition Flash Mobs New Seasons: May 29, 2011
Once again for the Gops it’s very simple and Boehner said it months ago:
Dear America:
For every dollar of cuts that s4b brings us except for military, we will raise the debt ceiling by one dollar.
If he wants it raised 4 billion he needs 4 billion of cuts.
The onus is on the president to bring his list of cuts.
Update on the House response to the contingency proposal: per NRO
From a Republican aide who would know on the sentiment regarding the contingency plan:
We, the House, hate this and it will not move. It would basically mean that the President only needs 1/3 of the either body to raise the debt limit, meaning that we would cede our majority status in the House. Can you imagine how insane this would make the grass roots/tea party—we have the numbers to stop an increase, but we completely give up and let Dems uphold a veto with a 1/3 vote. No way.
Thanks bio mom for your informative posts.

Secure America Now has just released a new poll showing that only 43 percent of Jews plan to vote to reelect Obama in 2012. If this holds, it would be a considerable drop from the 78 percent of the Jewish vote Obama received in 2008, and from the standard 75–80 percent of the Jewish vote that Democratic political strategists have come to expect and rely upon.
The bipartisan poll, done by John McLaughlin and Pat Caddell, also found that Obama is likely to have particular trouble with Jews in the all-important state of Florida, as only 34 percent of Florida’s Jews would vote to reelect him. Unsurprisingly, Obama does better among Jews in blue states like California, Illinois, and Maryland, but Republican strategists are unlikely to contest those states heavily, whereas the Florida vote really matters.
In addition, in a positive sign for the future, Obama’s worst showing in the poll was among Jews under 40. Sixty-one percent of these younger Jews reported that they planned to vote for someone other than Obama for president in 2012. This could indicate that the strange and continuing hold that the Democratic party has had over American Jews could finally be loosening. This latest poll is bad news for Obama in the short term, and problematic for the Democrats in the long term as well.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Buffeted by high taxes, strict regulations and uncertain state budgets, a growing number of California companies are seeking friendlier business environments outside of the Golden State.
And governors around the country, smelling blood in the water, have stepped up their courtship of California companies. Officials in states like Florida, Texas, Arizona and Utah are telling California firms how business-friendly they are in comparison.
Companies are “disinvesting” in California at a rate five times greater than just two years ago, said Joseph Vranich, a business relocation expert based in Irvine. This includes leaving altogether, establishing divisions elsewhere or opting not to set up shop in California.
“There is a feeling that the state is not stable,” Vranich said. “Sacramento can’t get its act together…and that includes the governor, legislators and regulatory agencies that are running wild.”
The state has been ranked by Chief Executive magazine as the worst place to do business for seven years.
“California, once a business friendly state, continues to conduct a war on its own economy,” the magazine wrote.

Addisonst,
I noted alot of negative commentary about Perry on earlier threads today. I’ve chosen not to respond directly to each post, but rather to let events take their natural course.
I do have a piece of advice for those interested…….under no circumstances should one short Perry on Intrade, at least not unless you simply want to throw away money. Perry is a serious man and will be quite formidable. His political opponents do themselves a disservive by underestimating his campaign prowess.
Perry’s won/loss record in elections is 9 wins and
0 losses. Including 6-0 in Texas statewide elections. Texas politics is about as rough as it gets and Obama has never had anyone challenge him with the skill-set of Perry. The 2012 campaign will not be for entry-level candidates, nor for simply the next Republican in line.
Remember this: Romney lost to McCain!!

take a zogby poll to the 7-11 for Joe Biden to order
perry is a phony. why is he having prayer meeting? is he a governor or preacher? i’m a Christian but i don’t trust people who wear their religion on their sleeves. i predict romney will be the nominee and perry will fade like fred thompson. also, we learn from our mistakes. romney is running a very good campaign. i love his campaign ads.
Zogby the Democrat is pushing Bachmann….. what a surprise.

Perry knows where the big-boy money is. Romney knows where his own money is, it won’t be enough….Perry will get the big-boy money.

You’ve been ID’d as an infiltrator. In the intel business, that means you’ve be compromised. We’ll continue to feed you false information.
By the way, the invasion will be at Pas de Calais,

Marv, why did you direct the comment about perry negativity at me? I hadn’t said anything about him today pos or neg.
But now that you mention it, he matriculated at the Aggie trade school because he didn’t have the chops to get into the U. of Texas.
Marv, Perry will get the 2000 and 2004 Bush $$$. his texas Rangers were huge donors for the GOP. They took a pass on McShame
Several Fed officials said that the government would have to consider new monetary policy to stimulate the economy, especially if growth remains too slow to reduce the unemployment rate.
Add, has been positive about Perry, from his posts
And several more said ” No Way.” I dont think you are going to see any more new stimulative monetary policy, but they may continue to reinvest prinicipal repayments into new instruments. I doubt they have the votes at the FED to do any more.
5. Yup, not much to see here.
I wonder how far off Zogby can be in the interactive versus a guy like Jensen deliberately putting his thumb on the scale? It might turn out the Zogster is more accurate than PPP (KOS)

Attacking the USSR was the big screw-up. Hitler had no strategic reason to do that.
Had he concentrated his forces in western Europe……well, I can’t imagine how difficult it would have been to recapture the area.
McConnell is the master of bloviating stagecraft.
“Attacking the USSR was the big screw-up. Hitler had no strategic reason to do that.”
his ultimate goal was to take all of eastern europe including western russia

Addisonst,
Why do students at UT think that the “Eyes of Texas” is the state song? It’s actually “Texas, our Texas.”
No Marv
at UT the state song is “Rocky Top”
Marv, I never had a discussion once about the state song. The Eyes of Texas is also not the true school song which is Texas Fight.
First lines and you can google this,
“Texas Fight, Texas Fight and it’s goodbye to A&M”
However for the grace and majesty of college football tradition there is nothing finer than a stadium full of fans, Hook EM Horns fingers outreached singing the Eyes of Texas.
I will grant you that the military academies have some great sports traditions but they are steeped in ceremony so it’s not unique.
The only thing even close from a non military school is the Seminole coming out with the spear.

Foxtrot Uniform!!
i thought it was this song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tqxzWdKKu8
Rdel there is only one orange wearing UT that matters that is the school in Austin.
And as a continuance from my post on the best college football tradition, Rocky top is without question the worst college fight song. I’m not even sure there is a #2.
#73 Addisonst,
Yep, the Florida State tradition is great. So is the USC Roman Warrior on the horse.
Both were stupid, lisa, but only in tandem. Seperately, they were less fatal, particularly Barbarossa, so I would say that going to war with the US (totally unnecessary) was by far the dumber choice. Keeping the US at bay in that theater could have given Hitler the time he needed against the USSR, although he was going to be stretched thin as it was. I am not convinced that Stalin, despite having a vastly larger manpool, could have made the big push without the tremendous resources he received from the West. I know everyone cries about those factories that were moved East, but we still provided the Russians with enormous resources, not the least of which was fuel. A European theater minus the US could have easily led to a stalemate.
Make no mistake, both decisions were silly and frankly, beyond reproach. Still, Hitler would have had to fight Stalin at some point. Rolling the dice when he seemed weaker was probably the lesser of evils option. Moving Barbarossa up to April (and thus bypassing the Balkans mess to clean up after Italy) would likely have improved the odds of collapsing the Soviet Union into partisan warfare once a strong defensive line was established upon the Volga and Dneiper Rivers.
#75 lisab,
Foxtrot Uniform too!!
Obama stooge from the Addisonst School of Sycophants lectures business leaders, after GE eliminated 36,000 jobs in the last 2 years. Jeffrey Inmelt:
“The people who are part of the business sector, the people in this room, have got to stop complaining about government and get some action underway,” he told the group. “There’s no excuse today for lack of leadership. The truth is we all need to be part of the solution.”
Marv do you know the name of the Trojan and his horse?
For my money USC has the best fight song over the cliched ND and Michigan crap.
USC also has the best cheerleaders.
GF,
And another thing, I don’t appreciate the Navy encroaching on Hickam. The Navy is starting to show up at the service-clubs on the base.
#81 Addisonst,
The Trojan’s name is Tommy and the horse is Traveler VII. (Tommy is what they named the statue of the Trojan which is in the center of the USC campus)
“Emerica is Bunu”.
My heart almost stopped. For a second I thought I read “America”.
Well played Marv. In fact you went me one better as I did not know the number on Traveler.
We might finally be finished with the racist anti semitic Ron Paul. Can I get an “amen?”
say what you will about the navy …
they have BY FAR
the better uniforms
given the choice any woman is going to prefer to be with a navy guy ceteris paribus
better uniforms … and they are not underfoot for extended periods of time
Navy has the same uniforms as notre dame.
At least ND has the right to the gold helmets given their golden dome.
I think you have not seen the dress uniforms of the other forces.
The good humor man is not that striking a look, if you were asking me.
the navy summer whites scream Ghey.
Politico has a headline about how the Administration has “the high ground on the debt debate”.
To prove it, they quote, hmmm, surprise, drum roll……………DEMOCRATS.
“Obama wants $4 trillion in debt reduction,” while GOP wants only $2trillion to $3 trillion, wrote veteran Democratic pollster Geoff Garin. It “seems clear now which one is serious about tackling the debt.”
Added a senior Democratic aide, “He’s got the high ground. He’s the adult in the room. He’s looking good right now.”
It has to be true….
Sorry about that, Marv; our clubs suck. You see, we spend our outlays on dredging the harbour for piers and channels, building warehouses and repair shops, installing cranes and other service equipment, and then finish it off with personnel support facilities. If we have any cash left over, we build an O club (a rather cr@ppy one at that). We have yet to learn the USAF way of doing business, i.e.
1) Receive funds from Congress for new base
2) Build golf course
3) Build lavish O clubs and E clubs
4) Build Commissary
5) Build BX (Base Exchange for you civvies)
6) Build food court
7) Build nice base housing
9) Build bowling aller.
Once your $500 million or so runs out, you come back to Congress and ask for a $100 million augment to build runways, hangars and the various support facilities. Because funds are spent on quality of life like this, promotion sucks to the degree that one must wait for someone to retire or die to take their job, but life is rather comfortable in between. Our only advantage is that we have to be close to a coast (except recruiting stations, boot camp at Great Lakes, IL, and a few God-forsaken airstrips in the middle of nowhere e.g. Fallon, NV, and Lemoore, CA). I’ve driven by some of your inland bases in places liek Burnt Scrotum, New Mexico; you could not pay me to live there, no matter how nice the dining hall is.
The Secret Service has the best uniforms.
#87 lisab,
Air Force pilots sleep in air conditioned quarters, their flight suits are neatly pressed and often worn with white silk scarves. They wear aviator sunglasses and their uniform caps are worn in such a fashion as to exude a self-assured attitude about just everything in general. When they enter the bar, women flock around them almost immediately.
” We might finally be finished with the racist anti semitic Ron Paul. Can I get an “amen?”
AMEN.
” “How much does the Biden plan actually cut from next year’s discretionary spending budget?” the Kentucky Republican asked the room.
Obama’s Office of Management and Budget Director Jacob Lew told him, “$2 billion.”
A second source close to the original Biden group confirmed this number.”
A whole $2 billion saved! Doesn’t everyone feel better already? Don’t spend it all in one place.
Better to have the “ghey” white uniform than those hideous olive drab rags that the Army calls a “uniform.” And don;’t get me started on the Marines; their dress blues are awesome, but whoever thought you could get away with olive drab and blue pants with a red stripe?
Marv, I must credit Hickam with not requiring those silly base decals for years now. We are just finally getting rid of them. I cannot recall how many times I drove through Hickam to get into Pearl through the back gate by the housing area b/c the state of Hawaii would not put a safety sticker on my ’56 Caddy, and the communist Navy decal office felt the need to back up the preposterous Hawaiian regulations. B@st@rds!
#93 GF,
I really don’t see the problem with #1-9. We always get the money for the airfields and airplanes anyway. Thank God for Billy Mitchell and Curtis LeMay.
#98 GF,
The Commander of Navy Region Hawaii, who is responsible for such matters, should grow a set.
Enough with trying to get along with local politicians, on HI they’re all a bunch of Marxists anyway. Foxtrot them too.
I’m really now sweating it too much because President Perry is going to fix everything that’s wrong with America, so no problem.
I’ll see you on LeMay, but all Mitchell did was sink a few boat sitting at anchor and justify an air arm on that alone. Ships that were not moving nor firing back at them. Ships that also did not have radar fire control as well. I am pleased to say that we’ve come a long way from those days to being able to deflect an air assault on our strike groups. I use as the basis for my claim the recent “Northern Edge” operation we conducted up in Alaska; if we can swat the USAF down like that, I am much more confident that the USN can deal with any Chicom or Iranian threat out there.
The secular feminist onslaught of Bachmann begins.
#101 GF,
I’m glad the Navy did well in “Northern Edge” Someday there will be a serious military confrontation with the Chicoms. I hope that there is a conservative Republican in the White House and a GOP Congress when that happens. Hopefully, they will have been there long enought to re-arm America before the confrontation.
#102 CPA,
What happened now?
Tango, Marv, and I am sure that President Perry will lead the way in rebuilding the fleet as well as the other services.
n/t loosahs
#105 GF,
Perry will get to the fleet rebuilding part eventually, first he wants Air Force football to challenge for the National Championship.
His dream match-up would be Texas A&M (from which he graduated) against Air Force (in which he was a pilot).
