Santorum Only GOP Candidate Beating Obama, Rasmussen Daily Poll Finds

Just ahead of three more Republican nominating contests, a new poll -- a snapshot in time -- shows former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum leading President Barack Obama in a one-on-one matchup.
The Rasmussen Reports Daily Presidential Tracking Poll for one day only -- Feb. 5. -- marks the first time Santorum has held a lead over Obama in potential matchups.

It’s a small lead for Santorum -- 1 percentage point, giving him a 45-44 percent edge over Obama.

“This is the first time Santorum has ever led the president in any poll,” the Rasmussen poll said. “Several other GOP challengers have led the president a single time in the polls, including Rick Perry, Herman Cain, and Newt Gingrich. Each man briefly held the lead while they were surging in the polls, only to fall quickly. It remains to be seen what will happen to Santorum’s support.”

The same daily tracking poll finds Obama actually beating former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the GOP frontrunner, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Rep. Ron Paul. Neither Obama nor the other GOP candidates gets a majority in any of the hypothetical matchups.

On Tuesday, Colorado, and Minnesota hold caucuses and Missouri has a primary.

Santorum holds a slight lead over Romney in Minnesota, 29-27 percent, according to a Public Policy Polling survey of Colorado and Minnesota released on Feb. 5. The same poll shows that Romney leads comfortably in Colorado, 40-26 percent, over Santorum.

Meanwhile, there was media speculation over the weekend that Santorum would do well in Missouri because Gingrich is not on the ballot in that state.

With regards to the Rasmussen poll that found Santorum the only candidate beating Obama, other GOP candidates had respectable showings.

Obama wins 47 percent of the vote against Romney’s 43 percent, according to the Rasmussen daily poll for Feb. 5. Obama and Romney have been virtually tied in most polls for months. Obama leads Paul, 45-42 percent. Gingrich does worse among GOP candidates, losing to Obama 49-41 percent.

Romney has won nominating contests in New Hampshire, Florida and Nevada by large margins. Santorum narrowly won the Iowa caucus in early January. Gingrich convincingly won the South Carolina primary. Paul’s best performance thus far was a second place finish in New Hampshire.

Tolerance Must Go Both Ways

The below article is copied\pasted and well worth a read however I would like to point out this blog owner sides with Miss California and agrees 100% with her on this issue: Marriage should be between a man and a woman period. That's not taking anything from gays it's just promoting a societal norm if gays want to live together and visit in hospitals so be it, they can have a union for that, but not a marriage because that would be promoting gay as a norm. In real life some gays have learned to be gay not all are born gay (FACT). Also many gays are militant and intolerant in real life, at least the many I've encountered. Gays tried to push themselves on me many a time while I was a young man away from home... now older and wiser thank God.

Tolerance Must Go Both Ways

By Alex Lindquist

On Sunday, people were stunned upon watching as Carrie Prejean, AKA “Miss California,” made comments about her beliefs that marriage should be between one man and one woman. She revealed her opinion in a modest way about how it was the way she was raised, and that no offense is intended for anyone.

While I completely disagree with her opinion, I admire her courage for speaking the truth. Many women in contests such as these will compromise their personal beliefs in an attempt to butter up the judges with answers that they believe will earn them that top spot. Miss Prejean didn’t cave into that pressure, which makes her a rarity among the contestants.

I feel bad for her that the backlash was so great against her. I especially don’t approve of judge Perez Hilton saying she didn’t win “because she’s a dumb bitch.” That right there is an example of being just as intolerant on the other team. Within the gay communities I know, there are homosexuals who hate this woman. Just leave her alone and learn some tolerance of your own. How can anybody be expect others to tolerate them if they haven’t learned any tolerance of their own?

Too often, it seems the gay media focuses too much on opinions of who’s right, and anytime a public figure discusses an opinion that isn’t in favor of gay marriage, that person faces the wrath gays and gay supporters. Suddenly everything becomes about who is right rather than focusing on what the real dilemma is, which is equality. Homosexuals should have the right to marry, and it’s a crime that people from a religious background are fighting it. However, no matter what the outcome, people also have the right to not agree with gay marriage. Being against gay marriage is an opinion, but being part of a movement against equality of gays is a completely different story.

Perez Hilton, YOU are dumb bitch, and you should learn some tolerance of your own before calling names like a schoolyard bully. It’s reasons like this why I hate beauty contests.... a girl can never win just by being herself.

I Wanna be an Illegal Immigrant...

This drinking with Bob video is making more sense than our elected officials

Becoming Illegal (Actual letter from an Iowa resident and sent to his
senator)

The Honorable Tom Harkin
731 Hart Senate Office Building
Phone (202)20224 3254
Washington DC, 20510

Dear Senator Harkin,

As a native Iowan and excellent customer of the Internal Revenue
Service, I am writing to ask for your assistance. I have contacted the
Department of Homeland Security in an effort to determine the process
for becoming an illegal alien and they referred me to you.

My primary reason for wishing to change my status from U.S. Citizen to
illegal alien stems from the bill which was recently passed by the
Senate and for which you voted.

If my understanding of this bill's provisions is accurate, as an illegal alien who has been in the United States for five years, all I need to do to become a citizen is to pay a $2,000 fine and income taxes for three of the last five years. I know a good deal when I see one and I am anxious to get the process started
before everyone figures it out.

Simply put, those of us who have been here legally have had to pay
taxes every year so I'm excited about the prospect of avoiding two
years of taxes in return for paying a $2,000 fine.

Is there any way that I can apply to be illegal retroactively? This would yield an
excellent result for me and my family because we paid heavy taxes in
2004 and 2005.

Additionally, as an illegal alien I could begin using the
local emergency room as my primary health careprovider. Once I have
stopped paying premiums for medical insurance, my accountant figures I
could save almost $10,000 a year.

Another benefit in gaining illegal status would be that my daughter
would receive preferential treatment relative to her law school
applications, as well as 'in-state' tuition rates for many colleges
throughout the United States for my son.

Lastly, I understand that illegal status would relieve me of the burden
of renewing my driver's license and making those burdensome car
insurance premiums. This is very important to me given that I still
have college age children driving my car.

If you would provide me with an outline of the process to become
illegal (retroactively if possible) and copies of the necessary forms,
I would be most appreciative.

Thank you for your assistance.

Your Loyal Constituent, (hoping to reach 'illegal alien' status rather
than just a bonafide citizen of the USA )

The Year Is 1907, About A Hundred Years Ago

READ PRINT UNDER PICTURE!

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag.. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Tell Congress to Vote NO on Obama's Massive Tax and Spend Budget!

Tim Phillips, Americans for Prosperity Tell Congress to Vote NO on Obama's Massive Tax and Spend Budget! Take Action!

Believe it or not, Obama and his Congressional allies are already trying to set another new record for reckless overspending.

Today Congress is beginning debate on President Obama's unprecedented $3.6 trillion budget that is literally taking our nation toward bankruptcy by borrowing too much, bailing out too many, taxing too much, spending too much and making government too big to sustain. We need you to tell your member of Congress to vote NO on the Obama Budget. You know things are bad when even the French say we're spending too much as their President, Nicholas Sarkozy, has said repeatedly. The Obama budget: Increases net taxes by $1.35 trillion over the next 10 years. Enacts a $646 billion "Global Warming Tax" they call "cap-and-trade." But the White House has already admitted the real cost could be "two-to-three" times higher. These new costs will be passed along to all of us in the form of higher prices on home energy, gasoline and food. Raises taxes on Americans when they give to a charity! At a time when American non-profits are really hurting President Obama wants to increase taxes on charitable giving. Washington elites want our dollars going to government not private charities and that's outrageous. Increases the Death Tax back to the devastating 45 percent rate. The budget lays the foundation for a government take over of health care, including hundreds of billions of dollars in higher taxes, a huge new bureaucracy, and possibly Canadian-style rationing of health care. The budget sets aside hundreds of billions of dollars for more Wall Street bailouts! Every program that has been on the big government wish list for the past decade is crammed into the Obama budget. The Obama budget for 2010 creates a $1.3 trillion deficit, the largest in history. Think about this for a moment -- from 1940 to 1944 we ran a total budget deficit of $1.65 trillion dollars (in today's dollars) -- while preparing to fight and actually fighting the largest war in history. Yet, President Obama runs a deficit almost that big in one year. And, according to the Congressional Budget Office, the Obama budget for the next decade will pile up approximately $10 trillion in debt. You can see the threat to our economic freedom. Take action NOW and tell Congress to vote NO on the Obama Bailout Budget!

Newt Gingrich: A Single Nuke Could Destroy America

By: Newt Gingrich and William Forstchen

A sword of Damocles hangs over our heads. It is a real threat that has been all but ignored.

On Feb. 3, Iran launched a “communications satellite” into orbit. At this very moment, North Korea is threatening to do the same. The ability to launch an alleged communications satellite belies a far more frightening truth. A rocket that can carry a satellite into orbit also can drop a nuclear warhead over any location on the planet in less than 45 minutes.

Far too many timid or uninformed sources maintain that a single launch of a missile poses no true threat to the United States, given our retaliatory power.

A reality check is in order and must be discussed in response to such an absurd claim: In fact, one small nuclear weapon, delivered by an ICBM can destroy the United States by maximizing the effect of the resultant electromagnetic pulse upon detonation.

An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is a byproduct of detonating an atomic bomb above the Earth’s atmosphere. When a nuclear weapon is detonated in space, the gamma rays emitted trigger a massive electrical disturbance in the upper atmosphere. Moving at the speed of light, this overload will short out all electrical equipment, power grids and delicate electronics on the Earth’s surface. In fact, it would take only one to three weapons exploding above the continental United States to wipe out our entire grid and transportation network. It might take years to recover from, if ever.

This is not science fiction. If you doubt this, spend a short amount of time skimming the Report of the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse Attack from April 2008. You will come away sobered.

Even as the new administration plans to spend trillions on economic bailouts, it has announced plans to reduce funding and downgrade efforts for missile defense. Furthermore, the United States’ reluctance to invest in a modern and credible traditional nuclear deterrent is a serious concern. What good will a bailout be if there is no longer a nation to bail out?

Fifty years ago, it was not Sputnik itself that sent a dire chill of warning around the world; it was the capability of the rocket that launched Sputnik. The rocket that lofted Sputnik into orbit also could have served as an ICBM.

Yet for all its rhetoric, the Soviet Union was essentially a rational power that recognized the threat of mutual destruction and thus never stepped to the edge.

The world is different today. Intercontinental range missiles tipped with nuclear weapons in the hands of leaders driven by fanaticism, leaders that support global terrorism, leaders that have made repeated threats that they will seek our annihilation . . . can now at last achieve that dream in a matter of minutes.

Those who claim that there is little to fear from Iran or North Korea because “at best” they will have only one or two nuclear weapons ignore the catastrophic level of threat we now face from just “a couple” of nuclear weapons.

Again: One to three missiles tipped with nuclear weapons and armed to detonate at a high altitude — to achieve the strongest EMP over the greatest area of the United States — would create an EMP “overlay” that triggers a continent-wide collapse of our entire electrical, transportation, and communications infrastructure.

Within weeks after such an attack, tens of millions of Americans would perish. The impact has been likened to a nationwide Hurricane Katrina. Some studies estimate that 90 percent of all Americans might very well die in the year after such an attack as our transportation, food distribution, communications, public safety, law enforcement, and medical infrastructures collapse.

We most likely would never recover from the blow.

Two things need to be done now and without delay:

1. Make clear in the strongest of terms that, if either Iran or North Korea launches a rocket on a trajectory headed toward the territory of the United States, we will shoot it down. The risk of not doing so is beyond acceptable. And if they construe this as an act of war, so be it, for they fired the first shot. The risk of sitting back for 30 minutes and praying it is not an EMP strike is beyond acceptable, beyond rational on our part.

2. Funding for EMP defense must be a top national priority. To downgrade or halt our missile defense program, which at last is becoming viable after 25 years of research, would be an action of criminal negligence.

Surely, with such a threat confronting us, a fair and open debate, with full public access and the setting aside of partisan politics, is in order. In the meantime, a policy must be stated today that we will indeed shoot down any missile aimed towards the United States that is fired by Iran or North Korea. America’s survival, your survival, and your family’s survival might very well depend on it.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is a Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. William Forstchen is the author of "One Second After," an account of a town struggling to survive after an EMP weapon is used against the United States.
