THE OP-ED heard and history around it [Opinion and Review]

Opinion | Guest Commentary
By Matthew K writing for Mychiller  
  In 2008 Mitt Romney wrote an op-ed for the New York Times ,  about the auto companies,the American auto-makers who were begging for a bail-out at the time.  This happened too: 
         From CNN : 

                Some lawmakers lashed out at the CEOs of the Big Three auto companies Wednesday for flying private jets to Washington to request taxpayer bailout money.

   That was Novemember 19th 2008 when that article came out. 
From the New York Times :

         The Senate on Thursday night abandoned efforts to fashion a government rescue of the American automobile industry, as Senate Republicans refused to support a bill endorsed by the White House and Congressional Democrats. 

That was December 11th 2008.
   From ABC NEWS , also on December 11th 2008.

               Even if TARP funds are made available to the Big Three, would that save the automakers from bankruptcy, or just delay it?

As yes what a good question  if  GM and Chrysler got the  TARP bail out, would that delay it ? T.A.R.P , if you forgot what it was , was the bank bailouts of 2008 under President Bush. It cost $787 billion dollars of Tax-payer money.

Auto Bail Outs ... are still not liked says poll

THE Full look 
By Rachel K for mychiller
 It's been about 3-4 years since the government funded bail outs of GM and Chrysler , there was some scrutiny on Mitt Romney's 2008 OP-ED piece. But how to American's feel about them now?
       According a  recent Gallop poll : 51% of Americans still disapprove of them while 44% agree, it's also a split by party lines.  73% of Republicans oppose and 63% of Democrats support. 50% of independents  disapprove while 43%   approve.
   Meanwhile here are the status numbers :
   GM which got $50billion  it has paid back $22billion.
GM has been having a good season for now , so has Chrysler ,which is now 58.5% owned by Fiat.
   Now it does the disapproval is down but that is with age mostly.
 Also according to polls  by different areas of the country.
  On The East  51% of those asked disapprove, while 44% approve , the MidWest( where Detroit  is )  50% disapprove  while 46% approve. In the south , where many foreign automakers have plants, 50% disapprove 44% approve, West  55% disapprove  and 42% approve.

Politics  Choice 2012 

By Skyler M and Kathy Walker 

   Here comes Michigan and Arizona's primaries... it's  big chance for the first big primaries since Florida, last month and the last until Super Tuesday, the week later. Mitt Romney , if he wants to become the media front runner again  he has to win both or just Michigan to get his momentum and status back. Former senator Rick Santorum , has been on a roll since he won , Missouri, Minnesota,and Colorado  he has been very covered in this month. Newt Gingrich , who is not leading well in these two states has been focused on Super Tuesday states that happen on March 6th. Ron Paul who hasn't won a state, unless you count Maine as fraudulent results that cheated him, he hasn't won a state. 

                                                                       February 28th                                                  

                                                                                 Primary       Arizona     29 Delegates at stake (Proportional)                                         

                                                                                                    Michigan   30 Delegates at stake (Proportional)           

 Michigan is considered a home state for Mr.Romney his father was governor there from 1963-1969 , and President of the now defunct American Motors Corporation.  But recent polls show it close or Romney leading by a couple points it wasn't like that before but it's like that now. Romney is leading in Arizona by 13 points .

     Kathy's Predictions : Michigan will go to Mitt Romney  but it won't be pretty ...Arizona will too a good night for him but  a squeaker non the less.  Second will be Santorum and 3rd wiil be Ron Paul . 

Skyler's Outlook:  No one will be quitting after  that's pretty much known but it's a moral boaster for anyone who wins these races.

[OPINION] Maybe the Republicans don't want to win

OPINION

  By Robert E writing for mychiller

 Poor Mitt Romney. He lost 2008 after really really wanting to win  he then  worked from 2009 to try again building up a money support and everything else. He was called a great conservative by many  Republican top people and everyone who was mad about John McCain losing 2008 election. To Mr. McCain's defense it wasn't his fault , now President Obama  had a stronger base and there was an anti-republican mood after President Bush.  Many conservatives are looking for one of their own to run this time, and Romney is not their own. 

     They beckoned to Mitt Daniels or Chris Christie (They are NOT going to RUN and I am not surprised).They then test tried the Michelle Bachmann  she ran great from the start, but like Newt Gingrich they found another, Rick Perry. He was the conservative dream until  some debates where he failed so all aboard the "Cain-Train" cost 9-9-9.  They went to Gingrich , and now Rick Santorum. They forget Ron Paul , who if anything is the only true conservative. True Conservatives who care about fiscal  issues don't want to go to war with everyone they don't like. But get back to what I am saying this shopping spree is not kind of showing me something... they don't want to win the White House. 

   NO, I am not trying to say they should go to Romney if they know what's best for them.  I am really saying that they don't wanna win the White House. Maybe they wanna keep the house and get the senate under the control. In 2016 , if Obama is a second term, it's an open-election and that would be best.  Is that their secret thought? They can't trust Mitt Romney , Newt Gingrich and  Rick Santourm scare people ( I am not a liberal if you are thinking I am) . Ron Paul is denounced by the conservatives because they think he's an isolationist, for note isolationism means you don't want to be bothered with rest of the world  at all. Dr. Paul is a non-interventionist , he  wants to trade with other countries but not blow them up because they gave you a fun look.

[OPINIONS] MItt Romney and his Faith , The School Lunch Police

Opinion Straight Forward
 By John R ( a guest writer for mychiller) 

   I sometimes hear people say that they wouldn't vote for Mitt Romney because he is  a Mormon. I  kind of get  shocked by hearing that, I plainly  think that I don't care Mitt Romney is a Mormon it's his right to believe whatever he wants to to believe. When choosing a president I don't care about  what the worship or how they do it , or what their faith is.  I care about what will the do for this country ? How will they take care of the issues that we have ?  I think that we really have lost our minds to think that if you vote for a Mormon the Church of Latter Day Saints  will dictate to him, that would be like thinking that you vote for a Catholic president , the Pope will dictate to him what he should do. 

     Mitt Romney's faith is his own and he follows his. He is not going to try to inflict his faith on others and how he rules. Massachusetts has not become a state of the Mormon world has it? It's the same he when he got in there.  Vote on where they stand on the issues not a crazy I don't agree with their religion type thing. 

RE: [Opinion } Turkey Sandwich vs School 

   Agree by Mary S ( emailed us from mychiller@inbox.com ) 

       I agree that schools shouldn't have a food police telling our kids what to eat. I Have nothing against food being healthy but it's my job not the government to tell me. That school was wrong  to confuse that poor girl  and really implying that her mother was stupid. It's sick.  I really don't think that food police have  the place in schools being paid by tax dollars.

THE Gop change over [Opinion]

Opinion 
  By Carl Johnson for mychiller
   Former Penn. Senator Rick Santorum won in 3 states last night , now the news media has made the story more about Romney not winning , but I am going to take this my way.  Newt Gingrich lost more  this is something , the fight has been who has more clout to beat Mitt Romney in the GOP.  Mr. Gingrich has been saying it was him , who could do it and debate the current president, he used every debate for his advance. (OK, not the last two Florida debates). The question for Newt is , he really the person people want to be  a nominee or the president? "Likability polls" show that Newt is not well liked by a lot of people ,Mitt Romney is not liked by conservatives , but  is liked by moderates (kind of) , Ron Paul is the only other candidate with a high favorable number.
   Newt Gingrich , I know his campaign was considered dead 3 times already,but when he gets ahead  he screws up (pardon my ways) , and with that he can say will run through August , but he doesn't have the power too  if he doesn't win alot.  He will be going to Tampa ... for  a visit to the convention but not to cause trouble ... if he cares about his party and no matter who wins his party's nomination.
   I do think there maybe one more Mr.Gingrich surge  it depends on how he acts for how it to go. Mitt Romney also needs to humanize himself and try to be himself . Play offense with his rivals not defense .

What February means to each candiate

Orginally from our sister site, Mychiller

 Choice2012 

By Skyler 

     February doesn't have lots of debates , the elections are mostly caucuses, but it still means alot for each of the remaining candidates. 

  Mitt Romney , has 87 delegates he is in the lead of all the canidates  but still has a long way to go , if he wants the nomination number (1,144) the up coming races are not winner take all, so he needs a higher precentage win to get the most delegates for that state. He it still looks good for him ,since a lot of the states are western states, which do have some higer percentage of Mormoms. He also has expirence with the west , since running in 2008 and the helping the 2002 Salt Lake City olympics. 

    Mr. Romney has  strong leads in some states in polls.  

DR.Ron Paul , has two things : time and money, he's betting on caucues (there are a lot of them this month) to move him forward. Caucues , unlike primaries, involve people going down to  cauces station in the evening , and Dr. Paul's supporters are very furvent for him. His strong points could be the west and the Cauces, with supporters who are willing. 

   Newt Gingrich, February means a lot to him. He's dropping in some polls across the next few states, and Cauces could may not be his strong point. He needs to win high percentages or get a close (very close) second in these states or it's not good in March. 

Rick Santorum , needs February as much as Newt needs it , he needs to raise more money and gain support, he needs strong showings in most of the February states.
