Barack Obama Re-Election Campaign Raises $86m In Three Months
Post Date: 2011-07-13 11:30:54 by Brian S
1 Comments
Barack Obama's re-election campaign has exceeded its $60m fundraising target for the past three months, bringing in $86m from April to June and eclipsing his Republican contenders. Officials for Obama's 2012 presidential campaign said it had received funds from more than 552,000 people, representing "more grassroots support at this point in the process than any campaign in political history". In keeping with the president's 2008 winning strategy of targeting small donations, 98% of contributions in the second quarter of this year were $250 (£157) or less, with an average donation of around $69, campaign manager Jim Messina said in a video to supporters. The ...
Ron Paul won't seek congressional term in 2012

LAKE JACKSON — After serving almost 24 years in the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Ron Paul told The Facts this morning he will not be seeking another term for the District 14 seat. Paul, 75, will instead focus on his quest for the presidency in 2012. “I felt it was better that I concentrate on one election,” Paul said. “It’s about that time when I should change tactics.” His announcement will give enough time for anyone with aspirations for his seat to think about running, he said. Paul didn’t want to wait for filing in the 2012 primary to let people know he wasn’t seeking reelection. “I didn’t want to hold off until in ...
Lori Klein, Arizona State Senator, Pointed Loaded Gun At Reporter Richard Ruelas's Chest

Arizona state Sen. Lori Klein (R), a gun-rights champion, keeps a loaded raspberry-pink handgun in her purse, and during an interview with Arizona Republic reporter Richard Ruelas, she took it out and pointed it at him. "Oh, it's so cute," Klein said, before aiming the gun at Ruelas's chest to show off the red beam of the laser sight. Klein's gun, a .380 Ruger, has no safety, but the senator assured Ruelas that he wasn't in danger. "I just didn't have my hand on the trigger," she said. Klein told the Arizona Republic that she owns a number of guns and has had "informal" training sessions on each of them, and that she was taught gun ...
Ron Paul on House Vote for Mideast Negotiations

Yesterday the House spent an hour “debating” a resolution condemning efforts to gain support for a Palestinian state via the UN General Assembly, and demanding that the Palestinians negotiate on Israel’s terms. (It is worth noting that UN recognition of Israel came as a result of a vote by the UN General Assembly, not by negotiation.) The “debate” consisted mostly of condemnations of the Palestinian leadership and unqualified support for Israel as a theocratic religious state. Only 6 House members voted to opposed the resolution (3 Republicans and 3 Democrats). Rep. Ron Paul explained why he voted against the measure: Mr. Speaker I rise in opposition to this ...
No Tea Party Unity On Foreign Policy

Tea Party movement-backed lawmakers have marched in lockstep toward the goal of shrinking the government but that unity dissolves when it comes to America’s role in the world. Republicans who were elected to Congress with support of the grassroots movement have bucked Republican orthodoxy by supporting some defense spending cuts, and they have been at the forefront of criticism of the U.S. Libya intervention. But they appear more divided on how quickly to pull out from Afghanistan, with some favoring a quicker drawdown than President Barack Obama has proposed and others, a slower one. “It’s really a little bit of a trap to suggest that there is somehow a foreign policy view ...

Former Alaska Gov. and newly minted documentary star Sarah Palin graces the cover of the most recent issue of Newsweek, and argues in the accompanying article that she could be a winning Republican candidate in the 2012 presidential race. "I believe that I can win a national election," Palin told Newsweek's Peter Boyer. “The people of America are desperate for positive change, and deserving of positive change, to get us off of this wrong track. I’m not so egotistical as to believe that it has to be me, or it can only be me, to turn things around. But I do believe that I can win.” In fact, in addition to the assertions Palin makes in the Newsweek feature, some ...
Sen. McConnell: Stopping Obama’s Re-Election Still ‘Single Most Important’ Goal

Even with the country on the brink of default, the Senate's highest ranking Republican says his "single most important" goal is to make Barack Obama a one-term president. "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told National Journal's Major Garrett in October. Fox News' Bret Baier asked McConnell Sunday if that was still his major objective. "Well, that is true," McConnell replied. "That's my single most important political goal, along with every active Republican in the country." "But that is in 2012," he added. "Our ...

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said last night during an appearance on the conservative Fox Business channel that he is “willing” to cause “serious disruptions” to the U.S. economy in order to maintain the nation’s debt limit. “The reason the president hasn’t addressed the issue even though we knew it was facing us, and this is the fourth time he’s asked for an increase in the debt limit, he has been burning time — that’s what Biden was supposed to do is get the Republicans behind closed doors — is burn the clock up until we have a crisis,” he told Judge Napolitano, Fox Business’s libertarian host. “So now we’re at the ...

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN), a candidate for the Republican nomination to the presidency, admitted during a recent interview that a worsening economic climate has the potential to help her campaign. Bachmann even went so far as to say she has “hope” that it will — and she’s not the only Republican making statements that might call into question the party’s commitment to seeing the U.S. economy recover. This video is from CNBC, broadcast Friday, July 8, 2011. (H/T: Think Progress)

Potential Republican presidential candidate and former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke told RT’s Thom Hartmann Thursday that Jews were the greatest threat to American democracy. “Who, in your opinion, David Duke, are the Republicans most afraid of?” Hartmann asked the former Louisiana state representative. “Would it be the Jews, the African Americans or the gays?” Most politicians would have dodgef that question, but not Duke. “I think the fact is that both Democrats and Republicans are very afraid of the Jewish extremists, the Zionists, because the Zionists have incredible amounts of media power,” Duke said. “They’ve got the most powerful lobby ...

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) became the first presidential candidate to sign a pledge created by The Family Leader, a conservative, Iowa-based Christian group that opposes same sex marriage, Sharia law and pornography. By signing the pledge (PDF), Bachmann vowed to support a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage, as well as agreeing that same sex marriage was akin to polygamy. The document also implies that homosexuality is a choice. "No peer-reviewed empirical science or rational demonstration has ever definitively proven, nor has even shown an overwhelming probability that homosexual preference or behavior is irresistible as a function of genetic determination or other ...
A Huckabee Backs Tim Pawlenty But It's Not Mike

One of the big endorsements the various Republican presidential candidates will be looking to reel in during the months to come will be that of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee who won the Iowa caucus back in 2008. It’s no surprise, then, that former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s camp is going all out to highlight the fact that they added Huckabee’s daughter, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, to their team on Tuesday. Sanders is an accomplished political activist in her own right, helping out on her father’s presidential team in Iowa and serving as campaign manager for John Boozman’s U.S. Senate bid out in Arkansas in 2010. “Sarah is a results-oriented person with ...
Perry Breaks With a Fellow Texan: Bush

AUSTIN, Tex. — Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican contemplating a presidential run, shares many attributes with the last man who ran for president from here, his predecessor and onetime patron, George W. Bush. He has the same straight-legged Texas swagger; the down-home, clipped speaking style; the desert-baked conservatism. But in recent years, Mr. Perry has broken politically with Mr. Bush, questioning his credentials as a fiscal conservative, accusing him of going on “a big-government binge” and playing down some of Mr. Bush’s accomplishments in Texas in light of his own. Mr. Perry’s public statements exposed a long-simmering rivalry that had been little known ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio (CGE) - Disgraced New York Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner, who resigned after he was forced to due to actions that were clearly salacious and raunchy but not illegal, is yesterday's scandalicious news.

I recently wrote of how the so-called “Minnesota Twins” are helping to fuel the movement to have our governor enter the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. That’s not all Michele Bachmann and Tim Pawlenty are doing. The current congresswoman and former governor also are combining to finish off — once and for all — that theory of foreign policy known as “neoconservatism.” The theory reached its zenith with George W. Bush’s declaration, during his second inaugural address, that “it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ...

Bachmann says God 'will heal our land'

Written by JENNIFER JACOBS AND ALYSSA HOOGENDOORN
God will come and heal the land and bring "a new day to the country," presidential candidate Michele Bachmann told an audience at an evangelical Christian church in Waukee on Sunday.
Bachmann shared several personal stories, including about her own spiritual awakening and how a miscarriage became part of the reason she wanted to care for children who had known brokenness.
Later on Sunday in Le Mars, protesters greeted the Minnesota congresswoman, who was on the second day of a new bus tour in a full-size coach emblazoned with her name.

Add to the growing list of candidates considering a bid for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012 America’s most famous white-power advocate: David Duke. A former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, member of the Louisiana House of Representatives and Republican executive-committee chairman in his district until 2000, Duke has a significant following online. His videos go viral. This month, he’s launching a tour of 25 states to explore how much support he can garner for a potential presidential bid. He hasn’t considered running for serious office since the early '90s, when he won nearly 40 percent of the vote in his bid for Louisiana governor. But like many “white ...
New Jersey Senate President Calls Gov. Christie ‘A Rotten Prick’

A week ago, the president of the New Jersey Senate, Democrat Stephen Sweeney, stuck his neck out to help Republican Governor Chris Christie pass a union-busting bill, leading to accusations that Democratic Party power brokers were selling out their constituents. By the end of the week, though, he was feeling so betrayed and angry that, as described by Current TV’s Keith Olbermann, he “unleashed thirteen epithets at the conservative darling, only twelve of which we can even mention fully here.” On June 29, Christie signed a bill that stripped state employees of collective bargaining rights while forcing them to pay between $1142 and $6058 more per year for their pensions and ...

Politics Versus Reality Written on July 4, 2011 by Thomas Sowell It is hard to understand politics if you are hung up on reality. Politicians leave reality to others. What matters in politics is what you can get the voters to believe, whether it bears any resemblance to reality or not. Not only among politicians, but also among much of the media, and even among some of the public, the quest is not for truth about reality but for talking points that fit a vision or advance an agenda. Some seem to see it as a personal contest about who is best at fencing with words. The current controversy over whether to deal with our massive national debt by cutting spending, or whether instead to ...

Learning From the Worst Presidents By Ron Lipsman An increasing number of Americans -- and not just conservatives -- are expressing the opinion that Barack Obama's presidency is as calamitous for the United States as was that of Jimmy Carter. If so, then in the relatively short span of three decades, America has experienced two spectacularly flawed presidencies, each comparable to only a handful that have occurred over the life of the Republic. Could these two recent tragedies have been predicted? Are there any identifiable personality traits, past experiences, or political trajectories that might enable voters to foresee impending abject failure in a presidential candidate? In ...

We marvel at the leaping salmon as they return to their ancestral homes." He also marveled over the mating habits of loggerhead turtles.
