Mike Lee defends push to defund ObamaCare
Post Date: 2013-07-31 06:05:18 by We The People
2 Comments
There has been significant push back in from the Republican establishment over efforts in Congress to defund ObamaCare. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) has been leading the effort in the Senate to cut off funding rather than delay parts of the law, which could lead to a government shut down. Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) panned the plan to defund ObamaCare, telling a talk radio host that it’s the “dumbest idea I’ve ever heard of.” Karl Rove, who is no fan of fiscal conservatives, recently tried to stoke fear in Republicans, writing in an op-ed that a government shutdown could cost the party the House of Representatives. In an appearance on Fox News Sunday, Lee defended the push by ...

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (AP Photo/Mel Evans) / AP WASHINGTON — Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie aren’t waiting for 2016 — they are bluntly attacking each other now. The two Republicans, both possible presidential candidates, have locked horns in recent days over federal aid for Superstorm Sandy victims, national security and foreign policy. Their differences reflect competing views within the GOP over the role of government and suggest some animosity between two of the party’s most visible rising stars.In an interview with CNN on Tuesday, Paul defended himself against Christie’s accusation that the Kentuckian was only interested in ...

The volleying continues. This definitely isn’t the first time that Sen. Paul has hit Gov. Christie for some of his more blueish tendencies in the slow-moving but snowballing 2016 intra- party shakeout, but after Christie’s (ill-advised?) tear last week — “this strain of libertarianism that’s going through both parties right now and making big headlines, I think, is a very dangerous thought” — you knew Paul wasn’t going to let that one go without returning some words. Via the AP: Paul told reporters after speaking at a fundraiser outside Nashville on Sunday that Christie’s position hurts GOP chances in national elections, and that spending ...

Congressman Peter King (R-NY) on Sunday lashed out at Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) and other civil libertarians within the GOP, warning they would destroy the Republican Party. King told CNN it was disgraceful that 94 Republicans voted in favor of a proposal by Michigan Reps. Justin Amash (R) and John Conyners (D) to defund the National Security Agency’s domestic surveillance program. “This is an isolationist streak that’s in our party,” the congressman added. “It goes totally against the party of Eisenhower, Reagan, Bush. I mean, we are a party of national defense.” King said libertarians within the Republican Party were driving away key voting demographics, ...

The Republican Party’s hawks are finally saying it out in the open: This aggression will not stand, Rand. After three years of watching the GOP’s non-interventionist wing gather strength, there are mounting signs that a more combative set of national security conservatives have reached their breaking point. Now, prominent conservative leaders in what used to be considered the Bush-Cheney mold are increasingly taking the offensive against their intra-party rivals. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie publicly challenged libertarian Republicans Thursday to explain their skepticism about government surveillance to the families of 9/11 victims, declaring at a Republican Governors ...

Amid the Obama administration's crackdown against whistleblowers, Change.gov, the 2008 website of the Obama transition team laying out the candidate's promises, has disappeared from the internet. The Sunlight Foundation notes that it last could be viewed on June 8, which was two days after the first revelations from Edward Snowden (who had then not yet revealed himself) about the NSA's phone surveillance program. One of the promises Obama made on the website was on "whistleblower protections:" Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. ...
GOP Strategist: Voters Will See Liz Cheney As ‘Bored Housewife’ And Political Lightweight

A longtime Republican strategist is not speaking favorably about Liz Cheney’s chances of being elected to a U.S. Senate Seat. According to The Hill, former Vice President Dick Cheney’s daughter will come across to voters in the Wyoming Senate election as a “bored housewife” with nothing better to do than to carpetbag her way into office. Ed Rollins, former top campaign brass to former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), said that Cheney’s political opponents will see to it that her Senate run is “portrayed as they’ve been away from the state a long time, a housewife who’s kind of bored who moved back to Wyoming after a ...

Yesterday was President Bush's birthday. I think that it's appropriate to celebrate by reviewing some of his many "accomplishments". 1.) Bush created the first new entitlement program (drugs for the greedy geezer lobby) since the Great Society. Obama learned from Bush and pushed for the fiasco known as Obamacare. 2.) Bush teamed up with Ted Kennedy to create the largest federal intrusion into the classroom in history (the failed "No Child Left Behind" program). Obama learned from Bush and nationalized student loans. 3.) Bush signed the largest pork barrel spending program in the history of the world (the 2002 transportation bill, which included bridges to ...
Obama Bully Pulpit Bullied With Congress Probes Obscuring Agenda

By Julianna Goldman - May 24, 2013 President Barack Obama renewed his oath of office in January vowing to use the bully pulpit to rally the American people around his second-term agenda. Now, with a trio of controversies fueled by relentless attacks from congressional Republicans, the limits of the presidential megaphone are on display. Since it was revealed on May 10 that the Internal Revenue Service improperly screened Tea Party and other smaller-government groups seeking tax-exempt status, the president has struggled to shift the focus. Press conferences with foreign leaders, a new campaign to sell his economic plans and yesterday’s announcement of his new counter- terrorism ...

Last week, I pointed out that there is no such thing as a natural social- conservative skew among Latino Americans. But that leaves open a rejoinder, expressed by several readers: The GOP doesn’t need to get all of the Latino vote, just its fair share. That’s true, and I should have made my point clearer. In the wake of the election, some social conservatives have tried a new version of the old Silent Majority argument, contending that Republicans can continue to make their candidates pass litmus tests on abortion and gay marriage and still win national elections if only it taps the natural social conservatism of Latinos. Exposing that illusion was the point of the numbers I ...

Chicago Mayor Closing 54 Poor Black Elementary Schools Because of City Deficit Posted on March 23, 2013 by Dave Jolly Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has just ignited an educational and possibly racial firestorm in the Windy City. Obama’s former White House Chief of Staff is trying to cope with a billion dollar budget deficit for the city of Chicago. In what could be his most controversial decision as mayor, Emmanuel just announced plans to close down 54 elementary schools. That alone may not be cause of concern to many, but when he announced which schools would be closing, the match was lit. It seems that most of the schools of his choosing are all in predominately low-income black ...
The GOP’s Misguided Loyalty

The Republican Party truly is the conservative party in the country. Not because of any policy. But, rather due to their loyalty to failed politicians. Let’s look at the last election. Mitt Romney is a great American, a successful entrepreneur, and an even better family man. But he was a really lousy candidate for President. As a Presidential candidate, he was the worst of both worlds: First, he was NOT a real policy conservative. Romney's political career was full of flip flops -- for and against abortion, for and against government run healthcare... for and against countless other things... Second, unlike Reagan who grew up in modest circumstances, Romney was a trust fund ...

Is Obama really like Jesus? While his miraculous superpowers have always been part of the progressive narrative, there has recently been a increase in sightings of Barack Obama's divine nature in the mainstream culture - from a painting that depicts the president as crucified Christ, to Jamie Foxx calling Barack Obama our lord and savior, to a Florida professor who described Obama as an apostle sent to create "heaven here on earth." Thus, let us ponder on this Christmas Eve about whether we would be better off if Christ were to equal Obama in moral and intellectual prowess. In fact, let us make a list (and check it twice) of what he would do differently:He would apologize to ...
Litmus Test For GOP, Tea Party? Polls Open In La. Race Pitting Boustany vs. Landry UPDATE: GOP Establishment Wins!

The polls are open in Louisiana’s 3rd Congressional District runoff, pitting two Republicans — veteran Rep. Charles Boustany against freshman incumbent Rep. Jeff Landry — in the first post-November 2012 test of the tea party’s influence on the GOP. The two Republicans, forced to run against each after Lousiana lost a seat in the 2010 Census, have each aggressively questioned the other’s conservative credentials since emerging as the two top vote-getters on Nov. 6. But many political pundits and commentators have cast the showdown as a proxy battle between the establishment wing of the GOP, which has backed Mr. Boustany, a close ally of House Speaker John Boehener, ...
Charlie Crist Formally Joins Democrats To Make Final Split From GOP

Former Florida governor Charlie Crist has completed his political conversion, announcing on Twitter that he has joined the Democrats as a result of the Republican party's swing to the right. The one-time GOP politician, who ran unsuccessfully for the US Senate as an independent, had earlier signalled his support for President Barack Obama and campaigned on his behalf ahead of the November election. News that Crist has formalised the move to the Democratic party will prompt speculation that he may lobby for a run at his old seat in the 2014 gubernatorial race in Florida. The 56-year-old politician tweeted out a picture of him and his wife Carole holding aloft a Florida voter ...
Buchanan: A Republican Retreat Or Rout?

Given the election expectations raised by the Republican punditocracy — that Mitt Romney was headed for a big victory — the jolt of defeat hit especially hard. Now, what had seemed an orderly retreat has taken on the aspect of a rout, with Beltway Republicans calling for abandonment of fixed positions all along the line. After Senate candidates Richard Mourdock in Indiana and Todd Akin in Missouri bollixed the question of abortion in cases of rape, Republicans are being counseled to downgrade or dump the social issues. As young people seem to support same-sex marriage, why not be good libertarians and get on board? As Romney got 27 percent of the Hispanic vote, we must stop ...

DETROIT (Talk Radio 1270) President Barack Obama doesn’t need to “pay back” Detroit for his re-election victory — as Councilwoman JoAnn Watson claimed — because the city played no role in his win, according to political consultant Steve Hood. “It reveals an inconvenient and unfortunate truth,” Hood said about the election numbers. “President Obama didn’t need Detroit to win the state. Let me explain it to you, Mr. Obama got 2,564,569 votes, Mitt Romney got 2,115,256 votes. “Detroit’s vote was about 285,000 — if you subtract that from Mr. Obama’s total statewide, it’s 167, 931 (he would have won by) — So if all of ...

The #FireBoehner hashtag really took off last night on Twitter. No, it wasn’t started by evil liberals – it was the conservatives at American Majority Action (AMA) who started it. The gang smelled blood and the sharks are circling. The Daily Caller was promoting their version of online activism to “dispose” Boehner of his speakership. They’re mad at a “secret list” they think Boehner used to purge several “real conservatives” from House committees. Republican Reps. David Schweikert, Justin Amash and Tim Huelskamp come up often in these circles, with Freedom Works urging members to call Boehner’s office in order to instruct him to stop ...

COLUMBIA, South Carolina — Republican U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint, a favorite among tea party activists, is resigning to take the helm of a conservative think tank. DeMint's Washington office confirmed Thursday that the South Carolina politician is stepping down to become president of the Heritage Foundation, effective Jan. 1. His office said DeMint was too busy to come to the phone. The 61-year-old Republican was first elected to the Senate in 2004. Republican Gov. Nikki Haley gets to appoint his Senate successor. His former state director Luke Byars says the new role allows DeMint to effect change outside of the U.S. Capitol. The political consultant says it's a vehicle for ...

House Speaker John Boehner is under pressure to defy Republican Party orthodoxy on income taxes to rein in the U.S. deficit, with an increasing number of his rank- and-file members saying they’re willing to discuss raising rates for top earners. A few dozen Republicans have joined a bipartisan call to consider “all options” on taxes and entitlement programs, signaling they are ready to bargain on President Barack Obama’s main condition for a budget deal this month: a tax rate increase for the top 2 percent of U.S. earners. Obama and Boehner spoke by telephone yesterday, said Boehner spokesman Michael Steel, after offering their proposals in the past week to cut the ...

I am a lifelong, proud Democrat. But, even though I have a lot of friends who are Republicans, I’m glad I’m not a member of today’s Republican Party. Because today’s Republican Party is just too damned mean. Just look what they did to Bob Dole yesterday. Over the years, Dole’s one of the Republicans I’ve admired the most and grown close to. He’s an American war hero. He’s a true patriot. He was an outstanding senator from Kansas. He was a very fair and effective majority leader of the Senate. He’s a wonderful, warm, funny human being. But what his fellow Republicans did to him yesterday is shameful. As one who triumphed over his own war ...

Former Rep. Dick Armey (R-TX) has quit the Koch brothers-linked tea party group FreedomWorks, according to an internal communique obtained by Mother Jones magazine. From the sound of his letter, it was not a happy parting. The missive, which the former House majority leader confirmed he wrote, demands payment through Dec. 31 even though it opens by explaining that his resignation was effective Nov. 30. “Henceforth FreedomWorks shall be prohibited from using my name, image, or signature in any way or for any purpose without my written permission or in the event of my death, without my heirs [sic] written permission,” he went on to write. Armey adds that he wants FreedomWorks ...
