Capitol Punishment: The Hard Truth About Washington Corruption From America's Most Notorious Lobbyist
The name Jack Abramoff is synonymous with Washington scandal, but the fascinating facts of his case are either largely unknown or wildly misunderstood. His memoir will serve as a corrective - an engrossing, informative work of political nonfiction that is also a gripping real-life thriller. The biggest surprise twist comes in the form of Abramoff himself, a smart, funny, charming, clear-eyed narrator who confounds every expectation of the media's villainous portrait. He's a perfect bundle of con
Question by : Is the Tea Party only about fiscal issues, is that correct?
Citing concerns about sources of funding, Tea Party Republican and New York Senate candidate Gary Bernsten said Thursday he strongly opposes a mosque at Ground Zero.
“This looks like a foreign effort to put something there,” Berntsen told CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent and “Face the Nation” anchor Bob Schieffer on “Washington Unplugged.” “It will be a magnet for militants. Militants will be driven to that mosque.”

President Barack Obama today will unveil his latest budget blueprint in a speech at George Washington University. Budget experts at The Heartland Institute ? all of whom are experienced radio and TV commentators ? are available to talk on the air about what Obama proposes.
Below is a preview of what to expect from Heartland?s experts:
Peter Ferrara, senior fellow, The Heartland Institute, and author of America?s Ticking Bankruptcy Bomb, available from HarperCollins in June:
?In his budget speech today, President Obama will fatefully frame the tax and spending issue for 2012. Paul Ryan?s GOP budget returns federal taxes to their long-term, post-war historical average as a percent of GDP, and eventually reduces federal spending below that long-term average, enabling the federal debt to be paid off completely over a responsible period of decades. President Obama today will commit his presidency to raising taxes well above that long-term, historical average, to fund federal spending well above that average, much higher than Ryan proposes. That would leave the federal government permanently much bigger, and our economy permanently much weaker. And it will work to close deficits and reduce the explosion of debt only if the economy will support much higher taxes than it ever has in the past.?
Eli Lehrer, vice president of Washington, DC operations, The Heartland Institute:
?President Barack Obama?s Social Security plan is better than what Rep. Paul Ryan originally proposed. Yet overall, the president?s budget ideas ? like those of his deficit commission ? rely far too much on new taxes and new spending and not nearly enough on free markets. Republicans should follow Speaker Boehner?s lead and make a genuine effort to work with the president on entitlement reform.?

Question by ICH8TE: Do Rush followers agree with what he said about not going after Jindal?
” The people on our side are making a real mistake if they go after Bobby Jindal,” Limbaugh said. “We cannot shun politicians who speak for our beliefs just because we don’t like the way he says it.”
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29402296/
I mean, since they agree and listens with and to just about everything that he says.
Now if Jindal was on the Democrat side, Rush the Oxycontin blowing dragon would have been laughing his butt off at Jindal. Not dictating that people should support him. He really must be the leader of that party.Looks like his way or the highway. Wow!
Yep Sage, youuuuu betcha! You got it.
LOL at blue Christy. I don’t know. Usually it’s what Lola, I mean Rusty wants, Rusty gets lol.
Rusty has big influence on the Repubs/Neo-Cons’. I don’t care what they say. 95% of the crap spewed here is what old Rusty says verbatim. Now it may be subconcious or it may not be. But many of them are totally following him. Just watch and see. You’ll have to wait for 4 years though lol. I also don’t believe people who say that they “only listen to him for entertainment.” That’s a bunch of bull. They listen because they follow him, and agree with him.

The polls show he is already one of the strongest candidates in the GOP field. If you are wondering what does Rick Perry Stand for, you have come to the right place! Let’s discuss his stance on the major issues of conservatives in 2012.AbortionChristians are extremely passionate about this issue, and the right candidate for the GOP should stand for pro-life causes. Perry is strongly pro-life. He opposes the government policy of funding abortions. He has also signed a bill in Texas where teenage girls under the age of 18 must get parental consent before deciding to get an abortion. In 2011, Perry signed the Mandatory Ultrasound Bill. This bill requires a woman who wants to get an abortion to go through an ultrasound where she sees images on the sonogram of her unborn child and hears the baby’s heartbeat.Religious BeliefsRick Perry is an evangelical Christian. He forms his beliefs primarily on Christian principles. On a couple of occasions, Rick Perry has declared times of prayer and fasting. He declared June 6, 2011 as a time of fasting and prayer. Perry regularly attends different church services in Texas to speak. He also called for a time of prayer in April 2011 to pray for rain for Texas. He believes that intelligent design should be taught in the school system along with evolution. He does not believe that the government should establish an official religion as the government taxes everyone the same.The Role of Government in SocietyGovernor Rick Perry supports limited central government. He feels that the current Federal government is bloated and needs to be cut back.
Global Warming and Other Environmental IssuesGovernor Perry believes that there is no substantial evidence of global warming. He feels that scientists have not concluded that global warming is a real problem in our society today. He believes that global warming is a lot of media hype, and he is staunchly opposed to passing legislation that supports climate change initiatives. Fiscal PoliciesTexas is one of the states that does’t have a state income tax, and Governor Perry has opposed any attempts to create an income tax for Texas. He is a fiscal conservative that stands for conservative fiscal values in most cases. He is very strong on job creation, as Texas leads the nation in new jobs created since 2003. It has created 73.4 % of the nation’s jobs since 2006. This is huge as many Americans are out of work today.What does Rick Perry stand for?
