Republican Party Is Rotted and Collapsing from Within -- And We Can Thank Super PACs for Exposing It
Post Date: 2012-03-27 12:27:17 by Brian S

They are anti-democratic and turning the 2012 presidential campaign into an extreme sport for the wealthy, but they are destroying the modern Republican Party in the process. Call it the paradox of the Super PACs. These big-money operations have made a mockery of campaign finance laws and even the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling by being shadow campaigns for candidates and giving a handful of rich people an unprecedented level of power in the presidential race. But perhaps we also should thank the multi-millionaires writing outsized checks to benefit Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum because their obstinate crusades—and Mitt Romney’s erratic replies—keep ...
Romneycare’s 98% Success Rate Defies Gripes on Obama Law
Post Date: 2012-03-27 11:22:45 by Brian S

The success of the Massachusetts health-care system is spurring President Barack Obama to extol the virtues of a law Mitt Romney signed as a governor. Romney, running for the Republican presidential nomination, says it shouldn’t be the model for every state. About 98 percent of state residents are insured under the legislation Romney signed in 2006, a 10 percent rise from the previous three-year average. Government costs haven’t ballooned, officials say, and 63 percent of residents support the law. Yet Romney is promising to repeal the 2010 U.S. law Obama and his fellow Democrats fashioned on the Massachusetts program. “It’s a crazy awkward situation,” said ...
Trump: Paul Ryan’s Budget ‘Very Dangerous’ For Romney

Billionaire Donald Trump voiced his major concern over Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) budget proposal Monday, calling it “very dangerous” for GOP presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney to support. Appearing on Fox and Friends, The Apprentice host displayed his annoyance with the timing of Ryan releasing the House Republican budget last week in the middle of the campaign season. “I think it’s very bad politically, and I think the Democrats will have a field day with it,” he said. “And I just think it’s bad timing. And I’ve said it before when he announced it originally, and I’m saying it again. I think the Democrats will have an absolute field ...
Lindsey Graham: ‘Primary Is Over; Romney Will Be The Nominee’

Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday declared that the GOP presidential primary was effectively over and called for his party to united behind former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. “I think that the primary is over,” Graham told CNN’s Candy Crowley. “Romney will be the nominee. Fiscal and social conservatives will unite and form a bond with libertarians and independents, and we’ll win the White House if we can run a good fall campaign.” “I like our chances, but it will be Romney,” he added. “The elephant hasn’t sung yet, but she’s warming up.” Graham noted that he had not yet endorsed the former Massachusetts ...
If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Join ‘Em. Obama Embraces ‘Obamacare’

Ever since he launched it two years ago, President Obama’s health care reform program has been slammed by its critics as “Obamacare.” Republicans hate it. Their presidential hopefuls sneeringly vow to kill it their first day in office – no more so than Mitt Romney, whose health care program when he was governor of Massachusetts became the model for Obama’s. Some states are suing to block the individual mandate – a case the United States Supreme Court takes up Monday. If there’s an equivalent on the Democratic side – a derisory label tossed about in hopes that it’ll stick – it’s the GOP’s alleged “war on women.” But ...
GOP Congressman To Women: Give Your Money To Democrats

Congressman Richard Hanna (R-NY) made a surprising request of women at a rally for the Equal Rights Amendment yesterday. According to a report at Huffington Post, the Republican Representative told women to open their wallets, dig deep and donate their money…to Democrats. “I think these are very precarious times for women, it seems. So many of your rights are under assault,” he said, “I’ll tell you this: Contribute your money to people who speak out on your behalf, because the other side — my side — has a lot of it. And you need to send your own message. You need to remind people that you vote, you matter, and that they can’t succeed without your ...
New Ron Paul Ad Slams ‘Etch-a’Sketch’ Idiocy (carnival barkers)

For the past week the media, along with GOP presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, as well as the incumbent president, have fixated on a throw away remark about an ‘etch-a-sketch’ by a Romney communications advisor. That’s right, while the economy continues its seemingly never ending spiral into a black hole, while innocent people continue to be slaughtered needlessly in Afghanistan, while the rhetoric over attacking Iran increases, and while everyday Americans are stripped of more and more basic freedoms, the candidates have held up plastic toys and beat the American voting public around the head with a distinctly average metaphor. Enough is ...
House Centerpiece Jobs Bill Becomes GOP Headache

WASHINGTON — A bill that Republican leaders were promoting as the centerpiece of their job-creation agenda has instead turned into one of their biggest headaches, thanks largely to tea party conservatives who want to get the federal government out of transportation programs and hand them over to the states. The House and Senate are heading toward a showdown next week that could result in a cutoff of federal highway and transit aid to states just as the spring construction season starts. The government’s authority to spend money from the trust fund that pays for transportation programs, as well as its power to levy the federal gasoline and diesel taxes that feed the fund, expire ...
Ron Paul On 'The Tonight Show': I Prescribed Birth Control, Would Not Ban Plan B

Ron Paul prescribed a lot of birth control during the four decades he worked as an obstetrician before becoming a congressman. "I was also putting myself out of business, all this birth control," he told Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" Tuesday. "They had less babies." Paul has been one of the only high-profile Republicans to condemn Rush Limbaugh's "slut" comments and insincere apology. He has steered clear of the birth control firestorm and told Leno that he wouldn't ban the morning-after pill. "The morning-after pill is a birth control pill," he said. "If people have reservations about abortion, the abortion is the issue, ...

When Republicans rode Tea Party anger to large majorities in Georgia’s state Legislature in 2010, it seemed inevitable that sooner or later some of these restive constituents would turn against them. Few, though, would have predicted the cause of an uprising that went down this week: an anti-picketing bill aimed at silencing union members. On March 7, the Georgia Senate passed SB 469, a bill backed by the state’s Chamber of Commerce and introduced by state senators including Waffle House executive Don Balfour. Along with a battery of other anti-union measures, the bill bans picketing that targets private residences and causes “intimidation” or disturbs the “quiet ...

Families canceling vacations. Fishermen watching their profits burn up along with their boats' gasoline. Drivers buying only a few gallons of gas at a time because they can't afford to fill the tank. From all corners of the country, Americans are irritated these days by record-high fuel prices that have soared above $4 a gallon in some states and could top $5 by summer. And the cost is becoming a political issue just as the presidential campaign kicks into high gear. Some blame President Barack Obama. Some just cite "the government," while others believe it's the work of big, greedy oil companies. No matter who is responsible, almost everyone seems to want the ...
Finally, Romney Gets Tea Party Support; Freedomworks Drops Opposition

The organization that ignited the tea party as a national mass movement gave Mitt Romney perhaps his biggest victory yet, deciding to drop its opposition to his candidacy, a top executive in the group told The Washington Times. FreedomWorks, which organized the Sept. 12, 2009, mass demonstration on the Mall, says that while it will not give an explicit endorsement, the time has come for Republicans to unite around the former Massachusetts governor and focus on defeating President Obama. “It is a statistical fact that the numbers favor Mitt Romney,” FreedomWorks Vice President Russ Walker told The Times on Tuesday. “We are dedicated to defeating Obama and electing a ...
Fox News Host Tries To Walk Back Persistent Obama-Muslim Talk

A new book about the Obama Administration’s first term has Fox News backpedaling, with host Bret Baier insisting on Tuesday morning that “we found no examples of a [Fox News] host saying President Obama is a Muslim.” The conservative Fox News Channel has seized upon the bogus claims that Obama might be a Muslim since the 2008 Democratic primaries, when Hillary Clinton’s opposition research dug up details of the president’s childhood and his two years spent at a mostly Muslim school in Indonesia. Ever since then, the Republican-leaning network has featured a steady drumbeat of guests — not hosts — who perpetually suggest that Obama might be a clandestine ...

Jeb Bush (R) is calling “for Republicans to unite behind Governor Romney.” In a statement released on Wednesday morning, Bush said he was throwing his support behind the former Massachusetts governor. “I am endorsing Mitt Romney for our Party’s nomination,” Bush said. “We face huge challenges, and we need a leader who understands the economy, recognizes more government regulation is not the answer, believes in entrepreneurial capitalism and works to ensure that all Americans have the opportunity to succeed.” NBC senior political reporter ...

In Medicare’s place would be a private plan that would raise the eligibility age and shift trillions of dollars worth of health-care coverage from the government to the elderly. “This will be the new Medicare,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the proposal’s author, announced. For years, Republicans have insisted that they would not end Medicare as we know it and that any changes to the program would not affect those in or near retirement. In the span of 20 minutes Thursday, they jettisoned both promises. “The president and Harry Reid have been licking their chops for over three years now waiting for Republicans to actually try to deal with the large problems like ...

March 19, 2012, 8:18 a.m. Reporting from Springfield, Ill.— With signs the country is emerging from its economic slump, Mitt Romney has begun to blame President Obama for making it far worse than it would have been under a Romney presidency. “I believe the economy’s coming back, by the way,” he said on Monday. “We’ll see what happens. It’s had ups and downs. I think it’s finally coming back. The economy always comes back after recession, of course. There’s never been one that we didn’t recover from.” But Romney continued: “The problem is this one has been deeper than it needed to be and a slower recovery than it should have ...

Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) appears likely to have fended off what seemed not too long ago to be a very viable Tea Party challenge. The Utah Republican, who has pledged that this would be his last term, did well in his state's GOP caucus last night, nearly two years after Sen. Bob Bennett (R-Utah) famously lost his bid for reelection. But while Hatch's good showing in and of itself was surprising, so too was the explanation for why former state Sen. Dan Liljenquist didn't do better. From the AP: Based on media reports from around the state and postings on Twitter from caucus attendees, many attendees were frustrated by the tea party-affiliated group FreedomWorks, which spent ...

State after state is refusing to implement ObamaCare's health insurance Exchanges. Republican David Merritt hopes they will "grudgingly decide" to change their minds. Merritt is a health care adviser to Newt Gingrich. He is also a senior adviser at Leavitt Partners. Leavitt Partners is a consulting firm that makes money by helping states implement ObamaCare. In the Daily Caller, Merritt tries to persuade state officials to help implement a law they oppose. Merritt begins his pro-Exchange argument like so: "Imagine that you’re being required to buy a car." Would you rather choose that car yourself, he then asks, or would you rather the dealer choose the car? Hmm, ...

Americans overwhelmingly regard the debate over President Barack Obama’s policy on employer-provided contraceptive coverage as a matter of women’s health, not religious freedom, rejecting Republicans’ rationale for opposing the rule. More than three-quarters say the topic shouldn’t even be a part of the U.S. political debate. More than six in 10 respondents to a Bloomberg National Poll -- including almost 70 percent of women -- say the issue involves health care and access to birth control, according to the survey taken March 8-11. That conflicts with Republican presidential candidates Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney, who say Obama is violating religious freedom by ...

Rick Santorum has won the Republican presidential primary in Alabama, according to a projection by the Associated Press. Santorum had been running neck-and-neck with Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney in the final days, according to polls. All three candidates appeared to be in position to win some delegates, more than half of which are allocated proportionally based on the statewide vote. Returns showed Gingrich and Romney in a tight battle for second place. The victory could boost Santorum's effort to oust Gingrich from the race. Even Gingrich’s campaign had said he would need to sweep the Southern states in order to keep his candidacy viable. Gingrich tried to walk that notion ...
