Well not there has been a lack of news on the GOP side of the election season. Today will go down as a big day and one to be remembered. Rick Perry called it a day and in a stunning turn endorsed Newt Gingrich, in a take that Mitt moment. Then ABC scored an interview with the second Miss Gingrich and tell all interview that they have been leaking all day. The last big scoop is Iowa is no longer in the win column for Mitt Romney. We are not sure it matters and after Tuesday it may not matter at all. The problem is the bell has already rung and cannot be unheard so we are not sure if they decide in Iowa to change results it can affect the results from South Carolina and Florida. We also think the debate tonight could be a watershed for Newt as he can back his way into the race with a strong showing. The truth is all the candidates have been a little bloodied this week and no one has been without fault or risen above. We look forward to South Carolina results. The next few days will show it all and we would not it any other way.

A wild day for the GOP
Thursday, January 19th, 2012President Obamawill use everything is the fault of the GOP
Wednesday, January 18th, 2012Here is the game plan any why President Obama reelection seems like a slam dunk. The case in point is the decision by the Obama administration to reject Keystone XL pipeline. The reason is because the 60-day deadline imposed by Republicans did not allow adequate time to review an alternate route through an ecologically sensitive area in Nebraska. We do not care about the rejection it would mean more jobs through half the country but this president has shown no sign of wanting to create jobs. The problem and the lame streamers are going to make it happen, is everything is the GOP and congresses fault, no matter how ridiculous. The general public is going to believe it because congress has a approval rating lower than some third world dictators. The project that would carry oil from Canada’s carbon-heavy tar sands to refineries on the Gulf Coast. TransCanada, the company seeking to build the $7 billion, 1,700-mile pipeline, will now needs to reapply with a new route avoiding an ecologically sensitive area of Nebraska. The decision for the rejection cannot be characterized any other way than thousands of American jobs left of the table purely for political reasons. It is too bad the truth about why things are done can never be a sound bite, America does not have the attention to follow the ball on this one and it pretty much says it all.
Lame Steam media uses same old tick on Romney taxes
Tuesday, January 17th, 2012Here comes the lame steamers and democrats to confuse the issue. This is the best thing they do get a candidate from the GOP to say the truth then blew it up. Mitt Romney said he pays an effective federal tax rate of about 15 percent. That was the red meat they needed. We like to blew up the lame streamers and when they do not let facts get in the way of misleading votes. The problem is they want you to believe this is a bad thing the 15% compared to the average tax filer that pays 35%. The problem is the money Mitt is paying 15% on he already paid the 35% on as earnings. So the lefties would have him pay double taxes 35% when he earned it and 35% every year it paid him interest. Then we could go with the fact that when the money pays 15% on is more than most people will pay in a couple city blocks. This is what they do and there can never be enough people that poke holes in this washed up, tied, over used, hate on the rich people tactic. Just doing our part now you go out there and let everyone you know that have not fooled you.
Charlize slieghs the Red Carpet at Globes
Monday, January 16th, 2012
This week we last year #6 on our top51 of the year. Charlize Theron who was born in Benoni, South Africa on August 7, 1975 is the first women of the week in 2012. She is a four time member of the including the first number one back in 2008. Charlize has had a week every year and in 2010 she was #3, 2009came in at #2. We love her as she is an actress, film producer, and a former fashion model she also became an American citizen in 2007. She has won an Oscar as for Best Actress from the Academy Awards for her role in Monster. The first woman of the week usually comes from the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards and if you saw the show Charlize killed it. She only did one movie in 2011 Young Adult but has two slated for 2012. Charlize is going to play Queen Ravenna in Snow White and the Huntsman. She is also slated to play Meredith Vickers in Prometheus. Charlize is beautiful and is a Hollywood star on the red carpet, at photo shoots, and in the movies. If you have ever seen her interviewed she also is very down to earth and seems like a fun person to be around. This is a rare quality for anyone in Hollywood and it is just a perception but it is one of the reasons she is always high on our list.

White House knew Solyndra before elections
Sunday, January 15th, 2012We know the lame stream media want the Solyndra thing to go away. First it makes their hero President Obama look bad and it makes clean energy look like a money grab. Everyone know it and even the White House did as just a few days before the 2010 mid-term elections, the White House knew that things were going very badly for taxpayer-backed solar-panel firm Solyndra, newly released internal emails show. The release of these emails to congress has been slow but it is clear on October 27, 2010, to the then-director of energy and climate change policy Heather Zichal reported the news to President Obama. “Here’s the deal, Solyndra is going to announce they are laying off 200 of their 1200 workers. No es bueno,” aide Heather Zichal wrote. It was less than eleven months later the company filed for bankrupty, triggering the congressional probes into why nearly $530 million was loaned to the company which exhibited problems early on. The bigger problem is did the White House tell Solyndra’s to delay the announcement until after the election. The thing just seems inappropriate all over the place from the Solyndra loan was tainted by stimulus politics from the outset, layoffs delayed until after the 2010 elections, and an indefensible loan restructuring, all of which has left taxpayers on the hook for half a billion dollars. The lame stream wants to hide it but we are not going to let that happen.

GOP pulls in $27M in Q4
Saturday, January 14th, 2012Thoughts and ideas usually do not win elections, money does. There is no better example than this year’s GOP race. Mitt Romney is becoming the favorite not because of his ideas but because he has enough money and media support to become a front runner. Once this happens all the ideas get swept aside as no one wants to vote for a loser. The good news is Republican National Committee says it raised $27 million in the last three months of 2011. This great news because the GOP does not even have a candidate yet but we have a vision we need to remove the occupier of the White House. The fourth-quarter figures were bolstered by $11.6 million in contributions in December. Since the “super PACs money does not count and we know they exist there is also another pile of millions of dollars raised by those independent political groups. The problem as we have said since the summer that President Obama looked to raise one billion and we are thankful that is just a dream at this point. The problem the Democratic National Committee raised slightly just under $24 million during the same time period. That figure does not include an additional $42 million in donations to straight to the reelect Obama campaign.
Fed says unemployment will rise again
Friday, January 13th, 2012We are not sure anyone in the GOP field can win in 2012. We are happy that the news for the current administration cannot be filtered for pretend. If you believe the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago as they claim the drop in the unemployment rate to 8.5 percent may be partially reversed in coming months. the forecast is that by the end of the year, it is going to be very different from 8.5 percent unemployment. This comes as the Fed policy makers will discuss at their Jan. 24-25 meeting in Washington whether more steps are needed to bolster an expanding US economy. The hard numbers are employers last year added 1.64 million workers, the best year for the American worker since 2006. Even with the gain, little headway has been made in recovering the 8.75 million jobs lost. The Labor Department posted the unemployment rate dropped to 8.5 percent, down from 8.7 percent in November, 8.9 percent in October and 9.4 percent in December 2010. The reason the Fed does not share a rosy outlook that things are on the mend is history. The fear facing the economy that could cause growth to slow, as happened in the summer of 2010 and 2011 may return and be a new part of the work cycles.
Express Scripts hurts Military families and Walgreens
Thursday, January 12th, 2012This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.
We wanted to let you know about Walgreens and Express Scripts. has decided that Walgreens will no longer be in it their network and as you can imagine this has upset thousands of customers. This means as of 1/1/12 all Walgreens pharmacies nationwide are shut off from the Express Scripts Inc. program. This includes Tricare, which is the health and prescription drug program for America?s military service men and women. Walgreens wants to help support and serve the troops but their hands are tied. Only patients with certain prescription insurance plans managed by Express Scripts are impacted so it is best to check with your local Walgreens pharmacist to find out for sure if you are impacted. Patients covered by an Express Scripts plan now find themselves not only having to change their pharmacists, but many have to drive farther to get prescriptions. Many patients under an Express Scripts plan have used Walgreens pharmacies for years and have a personal relationship with their Walgreens pharmacist. This is one of those times something needs to be don and social media might be the best resource, if you are upset about not being able to use Walgreens to contact their local media and voice your anger, Tweet it, FaceBook it, and even Yelp about it. Walgreens is trying to help by looking to minimize the disruption. They are offering a special discount on annual membership for its Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens. An individual can join during a special January promotion for only $5, or $10 for a family membership, and receive savings on more than 8,000 brand name and all generic medications. More than 400 generics are available with a three-month supply for less than $1 a week. Regular annual membership is $20 for an individual and $35 for a family. Support Walgreens and stay updated by liking Walgreens on Facebook and following them at Walgreens on Twitter @Walgreens. This is not fair and your voice must be heard.
Florida penalized for early primary
Wednesday, January 11th, 2012When to bell tolls it rings loud in the sunshine state. The Florida delegates that will be at the Republican National Convention are going to feel the penalty of their actions. It has been decided the national GOP has come up with the penalty for the state for holding an early primary in violation of party rules. The party national convention will be held in Tampa, but the RNC voted unanimously to give the Florida representatives second-class access to the whole affair. The smack down will make sure Florida’s delegates have poor seating and poor hotel options and limited in the number of guest passes they can hand out. The RNC officially said no further action is needed to carry out the punishment; this does come after they took a hit to their delegate count. The state is expected to lose half its 99 delegates as a result of its decision to hold the Republican presidential primary on Jan. 31. If you remember there are rules against a winner take primary before April. This way the race can be closer as we move toward super Tuesday. Florida did the same thing in 2008. This does set up a strategy that if you can win Florida and secure 99 delegates it makes catching up almost impossible especially if you have wins in Iowa, New Hampshire, or South Carolina.

Daley is out as chief
Tuesday, January 10th, 2012The White House is shuffling chairs on the deck of the titanic again. This time President Barack Obama has had to announce that chief of staff William Daley was quitting and heading home. This was no surprise based on the short but eventful time he spent as chief of staff a position he never seemed to respond to. We are not sure if the expectations were too high or the potential was never lived up to. The plan was for him to last at least until Election Day. It is more than likely that President Barack Obama wanted and needed a yes man for the position. The replacement after the nationwide search, just kidding the president tabbed budget chief Jack Lew. He is more of a Washington insider and a yes man so it is clear why he was chosen. William Daley lasted only one year as chief. He did have a good run which included the killing of al-Qaida terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, but the Congress did him in and proved he was not the right choice to coordinate an intense operation of ideas, offices and egos. We know until the book written everything was champagne and roses but where there is smoke there is fire.
Cafe Well – Social Media for your wellness and health
Monday, January 9th, 2012This post brought to you by Cafe Well. All opinions are 100% mine.
We wanted to let you know about Cafe Well. This is a social network that offers corporate wellness programs that really work. Check out the HealthAmerica sponsored partnership with Cafe Well, Race to the Moon program that aims to get members more fit and active by walking or running through offering free wireless pedometers which tracks their steps and rewards them for milestones and total steps. So far participants have walked over fifty million steps, and average 2.5 million steps a day. We are thinking of adding a program at the office because it is tough to stay active. We thought a walking challenge would be best we have such a big building and folks use the elevators and escalators more than the stairs. We would challenge during work hours who walks the most steps as this would lead to more stair use and less elevator. We think it could lead to lunch hour walks instead of sitting surfing the internet. There can be an inter Office as well company wide weight loss challenge with bonuses as well as prizes. When you sign up at Cafe Well you can pick specific health problems you are trying to address. Then you can join a Challenge, Groups, and even Communities. They have plenty of health news, a Symptom Checker and a Health Encyclopedia. The information is the key the Healthy Living community is full of great information and a reason your Race to the Moon can be a key to your success where you have filed before.

President Obama looking to aid South Sudan
Sunday, January 8th, 2012We love a good media bias story and any time we can jump on the male stream media. If President Bush pulled the same stuff President Obama did we would be hearing about it all the time loud and clear? When their guy does something that draws question they act like it did not happen at all and then never report it to you. This is the case when the White House declared the government of South Sudan eligible to receive weapons and defense assistance from the US Right in step President Barack Obama was quick to issue a memorandum clearing the way the way to make it happen. Just like a tree falling in the woods nobody heard it or said anything. They did release a statement if you can find as they said the decision could potentially promote peace and regional stability in East Africa. We are not trying to say the situation is not dire as the outbreak of violence between two South Sudanese tribes that may have left thousands dead and some 50,000 people needing aid. So open the flood gates as the US now has the ability to send weapons to South Sudan, the White House of course has said no decision has been made on if they will or not. This makes you wonder why they bother to take this step. If you did not know the South Sudan had gained independence in July, becoming the world’s newest nation.
Let us move from NH to SC
Saturday, January 7th, 2012 We are not sure if we are more ready for New Hampshire to happen or just get out of the way. We are pretty sure mitt Romney wins New Hampshire although nothing is set in stone. We feel it does not matter if Romney wins we also do admit if he does not it means more. Since we think he is going to take it we want it out of the way ad get to South Carolina as we feel this is going to be the beginning of the story. New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner says he expects 250,000 ballots to be cast in the highly contested Republican presidential primary on Tuesday and 75,000 on the Democratic side. The number for the state breakdown like this 232,000 registered Republicans, 223,000 Democrats and 313,000 undeclared voters. During this primary election anyone who is undeclared can vote in either primary. The state also allows same-day voter registration at the polls. The last time when there was races on both sides 241,000 ballots were cast in the GOP primary and 289,000 in the Democratic primary. If you have been hung up on the top tier candidates there are plenty more as there are thirty candidates seeking the presidential nomination on the GOP ballot Tuesday and fourteen on the Democratic side, including incumbent President Barack Obama. The big deal is that Tuesday’s contest is the nation’s first primary of the presidential nominating season.

When an endorsement hurts
Friday, January 6th, 2012Does an endorsement help or hurt. When Mitt Romney received the support of John McCain you wonder if it was good or bad for Romney. Anytime someone says they support you it has to be kind of good because they are not supporting someone else but is that true. McCain ran against Romney just four years ago they were at odds. When we heard that McCain was going to New Hampshire to throw his support behind Mitt you have to ask what is that worth if anything at all. The bigger endorsement that is like a kick in the shin was for Jon Huntsman. That happened when the Boston Globe decided they were going to support Huntsman. Once again we are not sure the angle was this really support for Huntsmen or a shot at Mitt Romney. If you are member of the GOP and the Globe says they like a candidate it has got to make you think there is something wrong with that candidate. You never want to be on the same side as the Boston Globe as they never say or wrote anything that resembles any understanding of conservatism so why would we ever look to them for any guidance on a candidate. These two endorsements although nice but we think if either candidate did not get them they would not be hurt, we wonder the opposite does this wind up hurting them.
Recess Appointments with a recess
Thursday, January 5th, 2012 We wonder why we think just when President Obama cannot make us be shocked, he does it again. Pushing the limits of his recess appointment powers and stretching it to the thinnest point by passing the Senate to install three members of the National Labor Relations Board. While he was at it he appointed a director for the controversial new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray was tapped to head the consumer protection agency. The three others two Democrats and one Republican to the labor board, those nominations had all been held up in congress. The reason is the accruing of too much power to the White House through those two agencies. The breaking of the rules came just a day after the Senate held a session. Why does that matter, the senate is not in a recess, so how can he make a recess appointment. The senate was worried about this in the past with President Bush. Senators from both parties put a stop to it 2007 and 2008, when President Obama was in the Senate. Then for him to jump when he knows the rule was set that it takes a recess of at least three days before the president can use his appointment powers. Can this election get here any quicker and is that not proof that the future of American will change drastically if we do not make a stand.

Iowa has results and we can take note
Wednesday, January 4th, 2012Mitt Romney wins by eight votes in Iowa there was 30,015 people that pulled the lever for Mitt that is only 24.6% but a win is a win. Second place went to Rick Santorum who grabbed 30,007 which is 24.5% and more than likely a jump for New Hampshire. Now let us get to the meat, Ron Paul actually got twenty one percent of the vote, there were 26,219 people that thought he was sane enough to be president, this could be reason to disqualify Iowa from speaking first. There were four big losers the first is Newt Gingrich only getting 16,251 a small 13.3% and fourth place finish. Another guy lost in the shuffle after the lame stream media beat him up good was Rick Perry pulling in 12,604 and 10.3% this should be enough to keep him in the race but he should walk away. Remember when Michele Bachmann won the straw poll and we were all getting nervous do not worry turns out straw equals 6,073 and only 5%. She suspended her campaign just like the Godfather Pizza president why do they not just quit. Another big loser of the night was Jon Huntsman who only got 745 votes that is less people than probably bought lunch at the Taco Bell on 1501 E Euclid Ave in Des Moines, and you know how far from Mexico they are.
Newt Gingrich wants politics to be bean bags
Monday, January 2nd, 2012Newt Gingrich has turned into a complaining old man with a loss of reality of his own situation. They saw all the politics is not bean bags it is war. Everyone knows all is fair in love and war. Everyone except Newt Gingrich who claimed last week that him being left of the ballot in his own home state was like Pearl Harbor. We let it go because maybe there was reference that he was using we did not know. Turns out it was not we do not get the connection unless we pointed out to Japan exactly where our ships were and promised not to fight back then it would be the same, our fault. This was the Gingrich camps fault and there is no one to blame but the man in the mirror. Then he has gone on to complain he is being attacked welcome to hardball and it is odd that he said he would not attack but most of his stump speeches are nothing more than do not vote for them they cannot win. The problem is the message should be what you can do for us. The light is starting to dull and we feel Newt can ride off into the sunset pretty quickly as he will be lucky to make it to South Carolina.
Happy New Year 2012
Sunday, January 1st, 2012Happy New Year 2012 to all our readers, followers and likers. We are changing something’s in our social media use in 2012. The first thing is we are going with a strict follow policy on Twitter. We will not follow anyone that does not follow us back. Why should we care what you have to say if you do not care what we have to say? So we will check every week using FriendorFollow and if you are not following the Tea512 we are going to stop following you. We are going to try to post different things on FaceBook and Twitter that are not part of the blog space as you know we try to circle all the things we do so no matter where you check it out you see the same things. We are going to start Twitter and FaceBook campaigns that have nothing to do with the blog. This is going to be a great year as it will be the last for President Obama and we will have a brand new GOP President and the Senate will return to Republican rule as well. It is because of these things we are hopeful for a great year.

#9 Lady Gaga (2010#14) we always struggle with this one because she is very sexy but a lot of times you can never tell. She was everywhere in 2011 so it was a natural jump into the top 9.
