Dick Morris: Palin Still 2012 GOP Front-Runner
Monday, 12 Jul 2010 08:17 PM
By: David A. Patten
Fox News commentator and best-selling author Dick Morris says former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is the clear front-runner for the Republican nomination for president.
Morris says that, despite his respect for the political and intellectual talents of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who expressed keen interest Monday in running for the nomination, Palin remains the favorite.
“Oh, I think she always had front-runner status,” Morris tells Newsmax.TV in an exclusive interview. “The person who is the vice-presidential nominee last time almost automatically has front-runner status if they did a good job, which she did. And I think that she was a fabulous candidate for vice president.” ……….

Stop Big Oil bailouts
Before the worst environmental disaster in American history began, BP was claiming almost a quarter of a million dollars in tax deductions per day for its Deepwater Horizon oil platform in the Gulf. That’s right, at a time of soaring deficits and record unemployment, a single deepwater offshore drilling facility won $225,000 in taxpayer subsidies for one of the most profitable companies in the world.
BP, EXXON Mobile and other oil companies are among the most profitable in the world, yet they are given billions in tax subsidies, credits, deductions, and other loopholes.
In fact, EXXON Mobile, the single most profitable company in history, avoided paying any federal income taxes last year and even received a $46 million refund.
If not now, when? It’s time for Congress to stop the annual $35 billion taxpayer bailout to dirty energy companies.
Even while they rake in obscene profits from government contracts and sweetheart deals for mineral leases on public lands, Big Oil companies will stop at nothing to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. They already register their oil platform rigs in Panama and move their corporate headquarters to tax havens like the Cayman Islands. Enough is enough. Now is the time to mobilize massive public pressure and force Congress to end the tax loopholes for Big Oil. …..read more
