Jarrett: GOP "More And More Extreme"
White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said Sunday on ABC's "This Week" that the rise of a Conservative Party challenger in a closely watched upstate New York House election shows that the Republican Party leadership is "becoming more and more extreme, and more and more marginalized."
"It's rather telling when the Republican Party forces out a moderate Republican and it says, I think, a great deal about where the Republican Party leadership is right now," Jarrett said when asked about the GOP candidates' decision to suspend her campaign, making it more likely the Conservative will win Tuesday's special election.

Look at her.Another unhappy, angry hatefull Liberal woman on Obamas staff. You must have to take an "anger" test to get a job with Obumer. Hillary, Nancy, Barbra, Vallarie, they are all angry all the time....Atacking conservatives while ignoring the country, keep up the attacks, you've got nothing else....NO morals, character or relavence

Isent it ironic how all these so called anti capitalists are all multi millionaires???? Does anyone smell a rat yet??????????

No one forced out a 'moderate'. She was not forced out, the Republican party was still funding her campaign. That's funny that GOP is being called extreme by this administration. Hello pot, have met my friend kettle?

Hold on to your hats Jarette is calling Republicans extreme. What a laugh. She is so far out of the main stream she may fall off this earth.

The more I find out about Obama, the more he reminds me of Hitler.
sammer
Thanks for making her point.
Sazabi
In what way is he similar to Hilter? I don't see it. You know Hitler was an extreme conservative, right? He hated communists.
KayDee
Hitler rose up from the artists community and communist sympathizers. After he gained power he then Nationalized everything and went on a wild spending spree to fund wars. OH and he threw his communist supporters under the bus as he did the gays and artists who saw through him after it was too late of course.
But I must say Hitler himself really didnt do much. he vacationed alot in the mountains while his henchmen did the dirty work, Read up on Hitler Stalin and Musolini. KNowledge is somthing that should not be wasted.
NotsoSilent
Oh you forget your history, he first split up pPoland with the communists early in the war. If your gonna blog, at least get your facts right.

Obama On SPENDING
*
Pledge: "When George Bush came into office, our debt -- national debt was around $5 trillion. It's now over $10 trillion. We've almost doubled it. ... But actually I'm cutting more than I'm spending so that it will be a net spending cut." -- Obama, during an Oct. 7, 2008, debate in Nashville
*
Verdict: Promise Broken. The federal budget deficit for fiscal 2009 tripled to a record $1.4 trillion, according to a Congressional Budget Office estimate out in early October. That's nearly $1 trillion more than the $459 billion deficit recorded in President Bush's last full year. The recession-driven declines in revenue accounted for a large part of Obama's red ink, but so did increases in spending -- on everything from the economic stimulus to Wall Street bailouts (sealed before Obama took office). Though Obama still says he wants to bring the deficit down significantly before the end of his first term, projections show the fiscal 2010 deficit will also exceed $1 trillion. Even if Obama does make major changes to fiscal policy and cut the deficit in half, that's still hundreds of billions of dollars every year to the national debt.

True.
Another reason that we need a thrid party in the US. Let the Republicans keep their Cheneys, Palins, John Birches, David Dukes, pat robertsons, gingriches, limbuaghs, o'hannitys and on and on and on. We've had all we can handle of that stuff. They are the reason Obama was elected- imagine that- without George Bush, and his spectacular destruction of US policy and economy, Obama would be a little known Senator. The Republicans
are repulsive to most Americans, and the proof is in the elections.. The Democrats are repulsive too- but there hasn't been any viable alternative to them. .
So what are we waiting for?
We need fiscal conservatives, not the lackeys of Big Business, devoted to individual liberty and meritcoracy. right now, we have kleptocrats on both sides, merely working for the biggest winners, trying to grab and hold the biggest pieces of the pie.

Obama On HEALTH INSURANCE MANDATE
*
Pledge: "If you've got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All I'm going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. You'll still have choice of doctor. There's no mandate involved." -- Obama, during an Oct. 7, 2008, debate in Nashville
*
Verdict: Promise Broken. All of the health care reform plans before Congress endorse some kind of requirement for people to get health insurance. And during his Sept. 9 address to a joint session of Congress, Obama endorsed the idea as well. "Improving our health care system only works if everybody does their part," the president said. Obama expressed a wholly different point of view during the Democratic primaries, when one of the few policy differences between him and Hillary Clinton was that she supported an individual mandate while he did not. He persistently defended the decision, arguing that the reason people don't have health insurance is because they can't afford it -- not because they don't want it.
Authentic Conservative
Obama on LOBBYIST RULES
*
Pledge: "When you walk into my administration, you will not be able to work on regulations or contracts directly related to your former employer for two years." -- Obama, during a June 22, 2007, speech in Manchester, N.H.
*
Verdict: Promise Broken. This pledge was broken from the very beginning of Obama's presidency, with the nomination of William Lynn as deputy defense secretary. Lynn was registered until last July as a defense lobbyist for Raytheon Co., where he advocated for a range of military programs. Even though Obama did issue the ethics rules he promised on the campaign trail, he ended up issuing a waiver on Lynn's behalf after senators threatened to hold up the nomination. Lynn was confirmed, and the administration continued to grant waivers for subsequent former lobbyists.

Ideology lesson
+
1. There is no such thing as a Conservative Democrat!
2. There is no such thing as a Liberal Republican!
+
You can not have it both ways.
The political parties are political parties, not an Ideology.
The Liberals have corrupted the Democrat party, enslaved the party with
1. Marxism
2. Communism
3. Fascism
4. Socialism
5. Abortion on demand
+
Government reliance, government market solutions, high Federal taxes, more regulation, Federal solutions for state issues. Maximum Federal government control. Wealth redistribution, weak defense spending, open borders.
+
The Conservatives have landed in the Republican party, we have the exact opposite views:
+
God Given Rights, the right of the unborn, Self reliance, small Government, States rights, low Federal taxation, less regulation, a secure border, strong defense, private sector solutions, Capitalism.
+
As you can see there is a distinct difference between the two Ideologies, One is hard work, self worth, a rugged individualism and a belief in America! The best opportunities for the people and a Government by the people! The right to Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
+
What we are advocating is to not expect too much from government and be wary of its power, even the power of a democratic government in a free country.
Ours is one of the mildest, most benevolent governments in the world. But it too has the power to take your wealth and forfeit your life. A government that can give you everything can take everything away.

And for moderates — you need to find some principles quick. Being “moderate” or “centrist” is a mode. If you keep standing in the middle of the road whining that no one is stopping to give you a kiss … then you are just going to get your ass run over. Become a liberal, libertarian or conservative or whatever, but get some principles and go with it. Defend them. Live them. Be “moderate” when it comes to time to work out agreement but please stop standing in the middle of the road.

Imagine...a Republican Party with just five goals in mind: Community Values, Limited But Active Government, a Strong National Defense, Individual Freedom and Responsibility and Prosperity and Progress for All. REAL Republican values as defined by Abraham Lincoln, Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan.
*
I know that I might hurt some feelings here, but I am starting to think that a lot of moderate Republicans are some of the most feckless, flighty and downright cowardly people.

Good Lord Man you cannot be that ignorant. Well, perhaps you are after all you are a Liberal and facts are always misrepresented by Liberals. Try the facts we are bleeding jobs, dollar in free fall, commercial paper about to collapse and your moronic President is still hyping a so called Heath Care plan very few want. I'd take Bush back any day of the week versus this clown we have as POTUS today. Perhaps you will wake up as you mature?

1 Million Seconds = 11.57days !
1 Billion Seconds = 31 years !
1 Trillion seconds = 31,688 years !

People should know just exactly what these number mean in real values and ratios !
When they say it will only cost a Trillion $ ............
You must realize that if someone wanted to count to 1 Trillion, it would only take them 31,688 years to do it, provided they never stopped counting until they got to 1 Trillion. But a person could count to a Million in just 11.57 days if they counted non stop !
Huge difference, astronomical difference.

And our Government spends our money in these proportions, and refuse to discuss the reasons or the details with us.

And Acorn is set to receive over 5 Billion in Funds, from we the Tax Payer / Voters !
And For this Reason, Nancy Pelosi should be Impeached for not launching a full scale investigation against Acorn, and anyone connected with there receiving Tax Payer Funds !
That is Pelosi's job and She just ain't gonna do it.
That is grounds for removal.

"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."

Strange how a group of people who want to uphold a Constitution that has been the envy of the world for more than 200 years are now labeled as 'extremists'. Yet this administration wants to 'fundamentally change America'. How is what this administration is doing NOT conspiracy to commit Treason?

You can kind of tell that the right wing is getting more and more extreme from the comments on this post ^_^ Anyway, I agree with her that the right wing is getting somewhat more extreme (mainly just based on the right wing's response to the Obama administration) but I'm not sure if it's just the fringe and if they are getting "marginalized." It's almost getting acceptable to say crazy right-wing comments in public nowadays. The work place is ridiculous when it comes to ridicule against the administration.
