Bill And Melinda Gates Foundation Pull Support From ALEC
Post Date: 2012-04-10 12:16:35 by Brian S
1 Comments
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation on Monday vowed to withdraw financial support for the American Legislative Exchange Council, an influential conservative nonprofit that drafts model bills for legislators. The foundation contributed more than $375,000 to ALEC in the past two years, according to Roll Call. “We have made a single grant, narrowly and specifically focused on providing information to ALEC-affiliated state legislators on teacher effectiveness and school finance,” said Chris Williams, the company’s spokesman. Though the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) was formed almost 40 years to organize conservative state legislators and allow them to share ...
Ron Paul leaves other GOP contenders in the dust when it comes to donations from members of the military
Post Date: 2012-04-10 12:09:31 by SJN

It’s no secret that those employed by the armed forces have been leaning in favor of someone considered something of a political outlier: Ron Paul. Now, a review by Human Events of the latest campaign donation reports shows that financial support from that sector has intensified to such a degree that Paul has left the other candidates, as well as President Barack Obama, in the dust. And veterans who support frontrunner Mitt Romney say they will woo Paul's supporters when their candidate becomes the clear nominee. Paul may be a last-place finisher in primary votes and delegates – he has 51 delegates compared to Romney’s 658 – but his donation lead is widening among ...
Obama Leads Romney in Poll That Shows 19-Point Gender Gap

A competitive, three-month primary campaign has left Mitt Romney damaged as he prepares for a likely general-election fight with President Barack Obama, a Washington Post-ABC News poll shows. Obama, 50, holds advantages over Romney, 65, on personal attributes, even as the incumbent remains vulnerable among Americans concerned that the economic recovery is taking too long. If a general election were held now, registered voters would divide 51 percent for the president and 44 percent for the former Massachusetts governor. Obama is boosted by his support among women, a constituency that favors him by 19 percentage points over Romney. Among men, Romney has an 8 percentage point advantage. ...
A Living Autopsy of the Ron Paul Campaign

The Republican primary has reached an endgame. Mitt Romney has turned his attention to President Obama and the general election. Rick Santorum is trying to remain relevant. And Newt Gingrich has downsized his campaign.Ron Paul remains mostly an afterthought, electorally – a candidate pushing a message more than a candidacy. By at least one metric – his chance of occupying the Oval Office – Mr. Paul is doing no better than he did in 2008. But by most other yardsticks, Mr. Paul this year has far exceeded the accomplishments of his 2008 campaign, reflecting, perhaps, how much the mood of the country has shifted.Mr. Paul’s share of the overall vote has more than doubled. He ...
New buzzwords: ‘States’ rights and sound money’ — potential for Rand Paul or Rick Perry to be Mitt Romney’s VP

Anyone working around Washington, D.C., 30 years back will recall the phrase "leadership and excellence." Buzzwords for a new generation of men in yellow power ties. Until Bill and Ted started greeting people, “Be excellent to one another!" The phrase became so tiresome that James A. Baker, Ronald Reagan’s chief of staff, rigged the computers so that they would balk when anyone used the word "excellent." Then overnight it flipped. Women's garments with shoulder pads replaced the yellow ties and when Bill Clinton entered the White House the "leadership and excellence" generation was replaced by the "diversity and globalization” ...
Cracks Emerge In Santorum’s Evangelical Support

Rick Santorum, who rose in the polls thanks to enthusiastic support from Christian conservatives, faced pressure Sunday from a key Republican evangelical to end his increasingly long-shot White House bid. Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention urged him to abandon the race and throw his support to frontrunner Mitt Romney to increase Republicans’ chances of defeating Barack Obama in November. “Rick’s a good friend. I like Rick a lot,” Land told CBS “Face the Nation” program on Sunday. But, Land said, “as his friend I would say to him, ‘you know, you ought to seriously consider leaving the race now.’” Conservative ministers helped ...
One Dem Candidate Calls Another A ‘Whore’ For AIPAC During Live Debate

Things got heated during a Democratic primary debate for the U.S. Senate in Connecticut on Thursday when one candidate told another that he was “whore” over his support of a pro-Israel lobbying group. “I’m appalled that when I talk about the neoconservatives somehow it’s twisted to be some sort of a racist comment,” long-shot candidate Lee Whitnum said in response to U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy. “This is documented fact. The neoconservative role in the taking down of Iraq [with an] unnecessary war is fact. It’s not opinion.” “I’m dealing with whore here who sells his soul to AIPAC [American Israel Public Affairs Committee], who will say ...
GOP US Rep. Tim Johnson Drops Re-Election Bid, Republicans Scrambling To Find A Replacement

Six-term Illinois Congressman Tim Johnson abandoned his re-election bid on Thursday, leaving his fellow Republicans scrambling to find a replacement and fueling Democrats' hopes of picking up seats and regaining control of the U.S. House. Johnson, who built a reputation for breaking with his party on certain issues, said he plans to retire when his current term ends. He cited family obligations for the decision. "One of my grandsons is 2 years old. I have seen him for a total of about 10 minutes. I have another who asked me not long ago if I was ever going to come to one of his ballgames. I didn't have an answer," Johnson said. The 65-year-old made the announcement in a ...
Republicans See No Rush to Fill $4.6 Trillion Blank in Tax Plan

U.S. House Republicans just passed a budget that would require eliminating $4.6 trillion in tax breaks over the next decade. They’re in no rush to show which benefits they would cut. Republicans cite political wariness during an election campaign, slim prospects for an agreement with President Barack Obama and a lack of consensus within their own party for their reluctance to say before November whether they would drop popular items such as the home mortgage interest deduction to make up for lower tax rates. “The president and the Senate would love for us to do that, because they would release every special interest group they could get onto us and say, ‘Go sic ...
POLL: Women Voters Abandon GOP In Key Battleground States

President Obama has emerged with an impressive lead in swing states around the country — thanks to women voters abandoning the GOP in droves, according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll showing President Obama leading among women voters in the top dozen battleground states by a whopping 18 points — greater than the 12-point gender gap he won with in 2008. One month ago, the same poll showed Mitt Romney leading the president by 2 percentage points; but Sunday, the newest poll gave Obama a 9-point lead, 51 percent to 42 percent. The change, the poll indicates, comes from women: “The biggest change came among women under 50. In mid-February, just under half of those voters ...

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul said Sunday that he was intent on bringing the Republican Party back to its founding principles of limited government. “I think Republicans have dug a hole for themselves because they’re trying to out-militarize the President, saying we should do more,” he said on CBS News’ Face the Nation. “Yet 75 percent of the American people have said we’ve had enough, it’s cost us too much money, it’s time to come home.” Paul, a Texas congressman, has gained an enthusiastic and dedicated following for his libertarian views. While his budget-cutting economic policies are similar to other Republican candidates, his ...

House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) on Sunday said he had made a mistake by suggesting America’s top military brass were being dishonest when they said they supported President Barack Obama’s budget cuts. “I totally misspoke,” Ryan admitted to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. “It was not the impression I meant to give.” During a budget summit in Washington on Thursday, Ryan had lashed out at the generals for presenting a budget that he said they didn’t really believe in. “We don’t think the generals are giving us their true advice,” Ryan declared. “We don’t think the generals believe that their budget is really the ...

Federal Judge Says Federal Election Commission Went Too Far In Shielding Campaign Ad Donors
Post Date: 2012-03-31 13:00:00 by Brian S
1 Comments
WASHINGTON — The Federal Election Commission overstepped its bounds in allowing groups that fund certain election ads to keep their financiers anonymous, a federal judge has ruled. U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson’s ruling Friday could pave the way to requiring groups that spend money on electioneering communications - ads that don’t expressly advocate for or against a candidate running for federal office - to disclose their donors. The FEC ruled in 2007 that corporations and nonprofits did not have to reveal the identities of those who financed such ads. That regulation came in response to a Supreme Court ruling that gave more latitude to nonprofit groups - like the ...

Chicago, IL - In an appalling new low, Congressman Joe Walsh today slammed his opponent Tammy Duckworth's military service. Walsh told Politico, "What else has she done? Female, wounded veteran ... ehhh." Duckworth served as a Black Hawk helicopter pilot in Iraq in 2004, and lost her legs and part of the use of her right arm. She was awarded the Purple Heart for her combat injuries and is still active as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Illinois National Guard.

Romney Faces George W. Bush Dilemma

Mitt Romney is facing a dilemma in how to publicly tackle George W. Bush’s tenure. Some of Bush’s relatives have recently endorsed Romney, and he will likely be asked about Bush’s legacy and policies on the campaign trail. The former president remains unpopular with most voters, and polls indicate people still blame him for the ailing economy. But he is liked by large factions of the Republican Party, making it politically dangerous for Romney to criticize him directly. Romney has rarely mentioned Bush in his 2012 bid for the presidency. During a Thursday press conference where he was endorsed by former President George H.W. Bush and former first lady Barbara Bush, Romney ...

Fri Mar 30, 2012 11:24am EDT MILWAUKEE (Reuters) - Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker will face a recall election on June 5 over a new law he championed that strips public sector unions of most power, becoming the first governor to face a no-confidence vote in nearly a decade. The five-member Wisconsin Government Accountability Board, which manages elections, voted unanimously on Friday to certify more than 900,000 signatures calling for Walker's ouster, formally setting in motion the recall election. A Democratic primary will be held on May 8 to choose Walker's opponent in the recall vote. The Democrat most likely to face Walker is Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett in a rematch of the 20 ...
Santorum Denies Calling Obama The N-Word

The Internet was buzzing on Friday morning that Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum may have almost dropped the n-bomb on President Barack Obama. Speaking to a group of voters in Janesville, Wisconsin on Wednesday, the candidate seemed to catch himself before using a word that sounds like “n*gger” to describe the president. (The original video of the speech is available here. The remarks in question take place at about 34:50.) “We know the candidate Barack Obama, what he was like – the anti-war government nig… America was a source for division around the world, that what we were doing was wrong,” Santorum said. “Oh, come on!” Santorum ...
Republicans Tampered With Court Audio in Obama Attack Ad

A Republican Party Internet advertisement altered the audio of U.S. Supreme Court (1000L) oral arguments in an attack on President Barack Obama’s health-care law. In a web ad circulated this week, the Republican National Committee excerpts the opening seconds of the March 27 presentation by Obama’s top Supreme Court lawyer, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli. In the ad, he is heard struggling for words and twice stopping to drink water. “Obamacare,” the ad concludes, in words shown against a photograph of the high court. “It’s a tough sell.” A review of a transcript and recordings of those moments shows that Verrilli took a sip of water just once, paused ...
Poll Shows GOP Primary Slog Helps Obama

As the Republican presidential primary drags on, President Barack Obama is only getting more popular, a new poll released Wednesday night (PDF) found. Worse still for Republicans, the poll also indicates that a large majority still blame former President George W. Bush for poor economic conditions. Overall, the president’s chief political rivals, former Masssachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum (R), are driving up their unfavorable ratings among all groups amid the Republican primary slog. That trend led pollsters at CNN to declare that if the presidential election were held today, Obama would win hands down. He topped Romney by an 11 percent ...

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Wednesday told a story about his father closing a factory in Michigan that he said tickled his funny bone. Speaking to thousands of Wisconsin voters during a tele-town hall, the former Massachusetts governor recalled what he described as a “humorous” anecdote that left some Michigan workers without jobs, according to the Journal Sentinel. “One of [the] most humorous I think relates to my father,” Romney remarked. “You may remember my father, George Romney, was president of an automobile company called American Motors. … They had a factory in Michigan, and they had a factory in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and another ...

A new poll shows Mitt Romney, who is locked in a prolonged GOP nomination fight, with lagging approval ratings, raising questions about his strength in a likely November match-up with President Obama. Half of those surveyed hold unfavorable views of the GOP front-runner, a new Washington Post/ABC News poll released Wednesday finds. In the poll, 50 percent of all surveyed and 52 percent of registered voters held unfavorable opinions of Romney. Thirty-four percent hold positive views on Romney, the lowest for any leading presidential contender in Post/ABC polls dating back to 1984. The poll also finds that Romney’s unfavorability tops Obama’s highest unfavorability rating in the ...

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Tuesday insisted that President Barack Obama’s health care reform law should be overturned and that people with preexisting conditions should be denied coverage if they had never had insurance before. During an appearance on NBC’s Tonight Show, host Jay Leno told Romney that he knew people that had never been able to get insurance before “Obamacare” was passed. “It seems to me like children and people with preexisting conditions should be covered,” Leno noted. “People with preexisting conditions — as long as they’ve been insured before, they’re going to continue to have insurance,” ...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Running low on cash and falling further behind in the delegate count, Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich will slash about a third of his campaign staff in an effort to stay in the race for as long as possible. Gingrich staffers confirmed to ABC News that the former House speaker had shaken up the top tiers of his staff, including replacing campaign manager Michael Krull with Vince Haley, a longtime Gingrich advisor. Gingrich, insists that he is still a viable candidate despite a third-place rank in the delegate count. He has hinged his entire strategy on hoping Mitt Romney is incapable of securing the 1,144 delegates needed to become the nominee, ...
Sen. Rand Paul: When Big Oil Screws Americans At The Gas Pump, ‘You Should Want To Encourage Them’ [Full Thread]

The top five oil companies in the United States have already made $5.8 billion in windfall profits from spiking gasoline prices this year. Yesterday, Senate Republicans agreed to debate a bill that repeals $2 billion in annual tax breaks for these super-wealthy oil giants. The move was purely a political calculation — don’t expect the GOP to end taxpayer welfare for their Big Oil allies. GOP senators like Rand Paul (R-KY) and Jon Kyl (R-AZ) have used their time on the Senate floor today to push error-riddled arguments coming straight from their oil industry donors. Paul argued Big Oil deserves even more favors from government, because they’re doing such a good job extracting ...
