Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and others on the campaign trail battle for the soul of the Republican party with their words After the 18th debate, four candidates are left standing, hoping to make it to the next round. It s much like a reality TV show.Viewers of the debates are familiar with the genre, taking stock of the performers, gleaning an impression and casting their votes.Of course, the difference is that the typical reality show has little impact on the planet, while the debates help determine the leader of the free world.In the GOP nomination reality show, the participants have to convince voters -- as well as donors, back room power brokers and pundits -- that they deserve to carry the Republican par stanley thermobecher ty into the 2012 presidential election versus the evil Democrat Barack Obama.

As immigration refo stanley cup rm becomes a hot-topic on the 2016 campaign trail, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are fighting over who had the most consistent and conservative record.Rubio, who has been gradually climbing in the polls, has come under fire for reversing his position on the 2013 Gang of Eight immigration reform bill -- of which he was a sponsor -- that would have provided a path to citizenship for people living in the U.S. illegally. While the bipartisan bill passed in the Senate, House Republicans refused to take up the legislation and Rubio later acknowledged that it can t be done comprehensively. On Thursday, Cruz went on The Laura Ingraham Show and said Rubio opposed Cruz s amendments to the bill that focused on border security enforcement, restricting benefits to illegal immigrants and preventing a path to citizenship to those who are granted legal status.

PRIVATIZING SOCIAL SECURITY.... Barack Obama is scheduled to appear this afternoon, via satellite, at a national AARP event, and he s apparently prepared to take on John McCain s position on Social Sec stanley thermos urity. From the prepared remarks: [S]ecuring your future starts with protecting Social Security -- today, tomorrow and forever. Now, John McCain said that the way Social Security works is, and I quote, an absolute disgrace. Wrong.

And as the first baby boomers become eligible for benefits this year, there are steps we can take to secure its futu stanley water bottle re for generations to come.

It would take the one rock-solid, guaranteed part of your retirement income and gamble it on the stock market. That s why I stood with AARP against this plan in the Senate, and that s why I won t stand for it as President.

President Joe Biden may have averted a flood of evictions and solved a growing political problem when his administration imposed a new temporary ban on evictions because of the COVID-19 crisis. But he left his lawyers with legal arguments that even he acknowledges might not stand up in court. The new eviction moratorium announced Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention could run into opposition at the Supreme Court, where one justice in late June warned the administration not to act further without explicit congressional approval. Landlords from Alabama, whose bid to lift the earlier pause on evictions failed, returned to federal court in Washington late Wednesday, asking for an order that would allow evictions to resume. Politico reports that the Georgia chapter of the National Association of Realtors also sued late Wednesday.Politico points out that that the Alabama and Georgia chapters of the realtors group were the ones that led the cha stanley vaso llenge to the prior moratorium that led to the Supreme Court s earlier warning.

Additionally, the former speaker was reportedly paid $600,000 for a two-year contract starting in 2006. The total is more than five times the figure Gingrich had previously acknowledged.At an economic debate hosted by CNBC last week, Gingrich was asked about his work for Freddie Mac, and the moderator said Gingrich s firm was paid $300,000. Gingrich gave no indication he was paid any more tha stanley thermoskannen n that, and he said he earned by the money by offering advice as a historian. Gingrich said he told the mortgage company that their lending practices were insane.

And I think it s a good case for breaking up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and getting much smaller institutions back into the private sector to be competitive and to be responsible for their behavior, Gingrich said at the CNBC debate.
