GOP strategist: Women Don’t Make Less Money Than Men
Post Date: 2012-04-29 19:17:53 by Brian S
7 Comments
Republican strategist Alex Castellanos denied Sunday morning the actual fact that women in America make less than men from work. In a roundtable discussion on NBC’s Meet The Press, Castellanos displayed signs of disagreement when MSNBC host Rachel Maddow mentioned the statistic that women make 77 cents for every dollar as their male counterparts. Noticing Castellanos’ discomfort, Maddow pressed the strategist on his viewpoint. “Women don’t make less than men?” she asked. “Actually if you start looking at the numbers Rachel, um, there’s lots of reasons for that,” Castellanos replied. “Wait wait, no, don’t tell me the reasons why, do women ...
Mitt Romney To Students Who Want To Start Their Own Business: Borrow Money From Your Parents

Mitt Romney has some simple advice for students who want to start their own business: Just borrow money from your parents. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee made the suggestion Friday during a pit stop at Otterbein University in Ohio. Romney pointed to sandwich chain Jimmy John’s, in which owner Jimmy John Liautaud borrowed $20,000 from his father (in return for 48% of the business) to start the shop. "We've always encouraged young people: Take a shot, go for it. Take a risk, get the education, borrow money if you have to from your parents, start a business," said Romney, whose wealth is estimated upwards of $250 million. He has been battling the ...
Osama Bin Laden's Death One Year Ago Is Just One Of Barack Obama's Achievements Against Al-Qaeda

It's been one year since Osama bin Laden was killed. I don't imagine I'll ever be as happy to hear that someone was shot in the face. Revenge, justice, call it what you will – but it felt good, like a hinge of history finally closing, a bookend to the decade we all spent with the images of the twin towers imploding in our minds. I was three blocks away in New York on 9/11, working as a speechwriter at City Hall and spent the next three months writing eulogies. So yeah, this was personal. But the horror was personal to everyone with a heart and a head. Now bin Laden himself is history, even if bin Laden-ism is not quite dead yet. There are still some who hate humanity and ...
Court Of Appeals: Wisconsin Voter ID Law To Remain Blocked During Recall Elections

An appeals court ruled Thursday that Wisconsin’s voter ID law would remained blocked during the state’s upcoming recall elections, according to the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel. “The Wisconsin Supreme Court’s decision to decline our certification means, as a practical matter, that there will be no definitive court ruling before the May 8 and June 5 recall elections,” the District 4 Court of Appeals said. “Given that the briefing period in this appeal has just begun, there is no realistic possibility that this court will issue an opinion before the June 5 election.” Wisconsin’s voter ID law was passed by the Republican-led state legislature ...
Ayn't It Romantic? Under Catholic Pressure Paul Ryan Backs Away From Rand, Objectivism

Representative Paul Ryan (R-WI), when faced with a letter of condemnation by 90 Catholic faculty members at Georgetown University, has abruptly decided to back away from his famous endorsement of the works of controversial author Ayn Rand and her philosophy of “Objectivism.” The congressman, who is scheduled to speak at the Catholic university today, is now emphasizing Christian philosophers and the writings of Pope Benedict XVI as the true exemplars of his world view over Russian émigré and atheist Rand. A National Review profile from early Thursday said, “‘I reject her philosophy,’ Ryan says firmly. ‘It’s an atheist philosophy. It reduces ...
Neocons’ New Lie

The rulebook for conservative punditry is straightforward. Push for a policy. When it turns into a disaster, defend it. When the defense becomes untenable, ignore it. Finally, when something unrelated but positive occurs, take credit for it. The newest conservative myth is that the upheavals in the Middle East — called the Arab Spring but occurring too in non-Arab countries like Iran — are a result of the Iraq War. The “freedom” that George W. Bush brought to Iraq had a domino effect on other countries in the region, the argument goes. Neocon Robert Kagan told Salon recently that “there were repeated free elections in Iraq and that undoubtedly had some effect on ...
Accepting the Neocon Torch: Marco Rubio

In the end, the major foreign-policy pronouncement felt like a generational passing of the torch from a retiring senator and former vice presidential candidate to a newly minted colleague with apparent aspirations to second Mitt Romney on the Republican ticket. That the two senators came from different parties hardly seemed to matter. Both Sens. Joe Lieberman, ID-Conn., and Marco Rubio, R-Fla., clearly share a vision of a particularly robust brand of American global leadership, one that finds common cause with “freedom fighters” everywhere and is unafraid to confront “evil” anywhere.(RELATED: Rubio Says International Institutions Should Constrain U.S. ...
Military Shift Campaign Donations From Ron Paul To Obama In March: Obama ($36,448), Romney ($8,630)

The Army Times reported in February that anti-war GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul (R-TX) was at that time, “by far,” getting the most in campaign contributions from members of the United States military. According to a review of Federal Election Commission data, Paul received nearly $250,000 in donations from servicemembers, President Obama, $130,000 and GOP presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney just $23,000. But now that Paul’s campaign is all but over and presumably, Romney will be the Republican nominee, the military’s donation trend is beginning to shift: away from Paul and toward Obama, the Open Secrets blog reports: [I]n March, it was Obama that scooped up the ...
Boehner Calls Obama's Travel Plans 'Pathetic'

April 26, 2012, 11:26 a.m. WASHINGTON -- House Speaker John A. Boehner has vividly stepped up his attacks on President Obama, calling the president’s visits to college campuses a blatant campaign pitch for reelection -- and "pathetic." "This is beneath the dignity of the White House," Boehner said Thursday, calling on the administration to reimburse the president for taxpayer-funded travel this week. "It doesn’t even pass the straight test, are you kidding me?" Congress is preparing for a new fight against Obama over keeping student loan interest rates low. Rates are set to double to 6.8% on July 1 unless Congress acts. And while both Republicans ...
Surveys: Republicans more open-minded, better informed than Democrats

Yet another new survey shows that Republican supporters know more about politics and political history than Democrats. On eight of 13 questions about politics, Republicans outscored Democrats by an average of 18 percentage points, according to a new Pew survey titled “Partisan Differences in Knowledge.” The Pew survey adds to a wave of surveys and studies showing that GOP- sympathizers are better informed, more intellectually consistent, more open- minded, more empathetic and more receptive to criticism than their fellow Americans who support the Democratic Party. “Republicans fare substantially better than Democrats on several questions in the survey, as is typically the ...
BREAKING: Gingrich To End White House Bid

Washington (CNN) – Newt Gingrich will officially end his bid for the Republican presidential nomination and formally express his support for Mitt Romney next week, two sources close to Gingrich tell CNN. While details are still being worked out, Gingrich is likely to hold his final campaign event Tuesday in Washington, DC where he will make the announcement surrounded by his family and supporters. It is not surprising that Gingrich is suspending his campaign for the White House as he has all but acknowledged it is winding down and Romney is the presumptive GOP nominee. "When he says he is transitioning, what he means is that he is trying to determine as a citizen how he will ...

Liberty University is getting a bit of a reputation for being a hotbed of controversy–first over Liberty's decision to allow controversial conservative pastor Mark Driscoll to speak there earlier in the month, and now for Liberty's choice to have GOP presidential hopeful (and Mormon) Mitt Romney give the 2012 commencement speech scheduled for May 12.

Mitt Romney: Professional Liar

Exclusive: Last week, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney claimed his dad had been attacked by President Obama, who “likes to attack fellow Americans.” Yet, Romney’s verbal assault on Obama was itself a multi-layered fabrication that revealed Romney consummate skill as a professional liar, writes Robert Parry. By Robert Parry The guilty pleasure of watching the TV series “The Good Wife” – besides the scenes with Kalinda (the private investigator played by Archie Panjabi) – rests in the ethical ambiguities at the intersection of law and politics, a place where truth and morality are relative, sometimes useful but at other times sacrificed for ...

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Minnesota's debt-plagued Republican Party faces an eviction hearing next week for its party headquarters after failing to pay its rent payments since August. The party's landlord filed the notice Wednesday in Ramsey County housing court and a hearing is set for next Tuesday. Minnesota Republican Party Chairman Pat Shortridge told party members in a memo Thursday that officials are trying to renegotiate its lease. "We're not going to be evicted, and at the same time, are continuing to negotiate on the back payments as well as on a lease that better fits both our space needs and our budget," he wrote. The GOP has 21 months remaining on a lease with ...

Border Hawks Warn Mitt Romney Not To Soften Immigration Stance For The General

Immigration hawks are warning Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee, not to moderate the hard-line stances on border security and deportation that he took during the GOP primary. Conservatives who focus on an anti-illegal immigration message are worried that Romney will move toward the political center in the general election election campaign after he suggested the GOP develop a “Republican DREAM Act.” "Any reversal on these positions would destroy his credibility, alienate conservative American voters who outnumber Latino voters, and exert the same pressures on Mitt Romney that destroyed John McCain and Rick Perry's campaigns," said William Gheen, the ...
Rubio: George W. Bush ‘Did A Fantastic Job As President’

Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio on Sunday refused to explain how a potential Romney administration would be different from George W. Bush’s administration, but insisted that the last Republican president “did a fantastic job” and his brother, former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL), would be a “fantastic vice president.” “I haven’t gone through the comparison,” Rubio told CNN’s Candy Crowley. “I think that presidents serve in different times with different challenges. And so I think that George W. Bush, in my opinion, did a fantastic job as president over eight years, facing a set of circumstances during those eight years that are different from ...
Struggling Obama super-PAC asks Clinton for help

Priorities USA, a super-PAC focused on reelecting President Obama, has asked former President Bill Clinton to help them pick up the pace on fundraising. Democratic donors have been resistant to giving to the group. This is partly because of liberals' hesitation about super-PACs in general and partly because Sean Sweeney and Bill Burton, the two former White House staffers heading the group, aren't as plugged in to the fundraising world as those helping some of the Republican groups, which include heavy-hitters like Karl Rove and Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour (R). If Clinton decides to help Piorities USA that could go a long way toward wooing some rich donors off the sidelines. ...
Pro-Romney Super-Pac out raises Obama group 3-1

Don't worry. There are still plenty of rich people who support the president. Most of them are giving directly to his campaign rather than to his Super-Pac. As a result, Obama big donor money is down from 2008. But Mitt Romney's Super-Pac is having no such problem. As the presidential campaign turned toward the general election last month, the super PAC supporting Mitt Romney raised three times more money than the super PAC supporting Barack Obama. But the president's campaign committee ended the first quarter of 2012 with ten times the cash on hand as the Republican challenger's. During March, the pro-Mitt Romney super PAC raised $8.7 million and spent $12.7 million, ...
Michigan: Republicans Raised Taxes, And Democrats Plan To Make Sure You Know That

Without fanfare and without disclosing to unsuspecting citizens what they were really up to, Democrats launched their campaign to regain control of the Michigan House last week. They did it with a series of statewide news conferences blaming the GOP for raising taxes on virtually everything that moves in this state. After listing all of the increases that Republican Gov. Rick Snyder and his posse approved last year, the Democrats went on to call for the repeal of all the taxes. What they somehow failed to disclose was the harsh reality that the repeal has zero chance since the Democrats don't have the votes to do it. There's not much sense in taking the edge off your news ...
The Obama Campaign Should Be Hitting the Panic Button

The conventional wisdom is that the election is President Obama's to lose, but after the week he's had, if I were his Chicago campaign office I'd be hitting the panic button. Three out of the five major polls released this week (CNN, Pew, and NBC/Wall Street Journal) had the president leading former Gov. Mitt Romney, but only by single digits. The fourth (CBS/New York Times) was a tie, and the fifth (Gallup) had Romney ahead by five points. And that was after the bruising Republican primary season. You'd think the president would heading into the summer with a double-digit lead, based on his "likability" numbers. The problem is that the president is in big ...
New Romney Spokesperson Draws Scrutiny For Insulting Women On Twitter

The Romney campaign announced the appointment of a new foreign policy spokesperson on Thursday, and the appointee has already come under fire for what Think Progress describes as his “odd penchant for targeting the wives of male politicians and women in general on Twitter.” According to Judd Legum and Alex Seitz-Wald, Richard Grenell, who formerly served in the Bush administration, “has gone after Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Callista Gingrich, Sandra Fluke and others. He also asserted that President Obama’s children should be fair game for political debate.” Grenell appears to be particularly bothered by Rachel Maddow, whom he apparently finds insufficiently ...

He joins Kid Rock as great Detroit musicians on team Mitt!" Nugent has, of course, been the center of quite a bit of attention recently for what he said about Barack Obama and Democrats at the recent NRA convention. This has been well publicized and I won't repeat that story here. Before Nugent's eruption at the NRA convention, candidate Mitt Romney had this to say: ...
Utah Republican convention: How Orrin Hatch beat back a tea party revolt

As Republicans in Utah have turned more moderate since 2010, veteran US Sen. Orrin Hatch has turned more conservative. Taken together, this could help Hatch survive a tea party challenge at today’s Republican nominating convention. Six-term Senator Orrin Hatch entered today’s Republican nominating convention in Sandy, Utah, with the polling winds at his back, suggesting that an aggressive and historically costly campaign to beat back a tea party revolt has worked. Several polls relesed Saturday give Hatch the support of about 60 percent of Utah Republicans – 4,000 of whom are convention delegates chosen, in a unique system, by neighborhood caucuses throughout the state. ...

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin says he's unsure whether he'll vote for his party's leader, President Barack Obama, or the likely Republican nominee Mitt Romney. In a statement Friday, the West Virginia lawmaker said he had "some real differences" with both leaders, finding fault with Obama's energy and economic policies while questioning whether Romney could understand the challenges facing ordinary people. "I strongly believe that every American should always be rooting for our president to do well, no matter which political party that he or she might belong to," Manchin said.
