The Coming GOP Split
Post Date: 2011-07-21 20:50:45 by Brian S
0 Comments
The next 96 hours could determine the future of the Republican Party. If the Tea Party is coronating its own third-party candidate next summer, the moment of schism will likely be traced back to this week. The fissures are already evident. House Speaker John Boehner and his No.2, majority leader Eric Cantor, split on the grand bargain. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s plan of last resort was met with outright hostility by the House Republican conference. And the House Republicans’ preferred plan — Cut, Cap and Balance – is less than popular with the Republican pundit class who openly acknowledge it’s a PR stunt that has zero chance of becoming law. To hear ...
Poll: Weakened Obama Would Lose Vote Today

A Democratic polling firm said President Obama's already weak job-approval numbers are "worse than they appear" and he likely would lose the election if it were held today. For the first time in a year, Mr. Obama does not lead former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in Public Policy Polling's monthly national poll on the 2012 presidential race. They are tied at 45 percent, and Mr. Obama is losing among independent voters by a margin of 49 percent to 44 percent. Worse for Mr. Obama, PPP said, the "vast majority" of undecideds disapprove of the president's performance. The survey of registered voters was conducted July 15-17. "There's a very good ...
Perry Has Troubled Relationship With Tea Party

CONCORD, N.H. -- In spite of his thundering speeches against big government, Texas Gov. Rick Perry has a troubled relationship with the tea party, a rift increasingly obvious as he gets closer to a presidential bid. Tea party groups from New Hampshire to Texas are collaborating to criticize Perry's record on immigration, public health and spending and his former affiliation with the Democratic Party. "It's real easy to walk into church on Sunday morning and sing from the hymnal. I saw a guy that talked like a tea party candidate but didn't govern like one," said Debra Medina, a Texas tea party activist who challenged Perry in the 2010 Republican gubernatorial ...
Republican 2012 Hopefuls Turn On Each Other
Post Date: 2011-07-20 11:43:24 by Brian S

(Reuters) - After months of criticizing President Barack Obama's economic leadership, the Republican White House hopefuls are turning some of their sharpest jabs on each other. As the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination gains momentum, early front-runner Mitt Romney and rising challenger Michele Bachmann are taking heat from lagging rivals looking to narrow the gap and boost their profile. While the tone is still relatively polite for an American political campaign, the intensity increased as the first state nominating contests in February 2012 draw closer. "They are throwing sharper elbows because the pack has formed, it's clear who is doing well and ...
Rep. Allen West: Obama Supporters Are A Threat To The Gene Pool

Tea party favorite Congressman Allen West, a Republican who represents the 22th Congressional District of Florida, considers Obama supporters a threat to the gene pool, according to an article he posted on the conservative website Red Country. "I believe we are headed towards the ultimate ideological clash in America," he wrote. "There is a widening chasm which has developed between those who believe in principled fiscal policies and those desiring the socialist bureaucratic nanny-state." West added there must be immediate spending cuts to our non-defense discretionary spending and a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution to prevent economic catastrophe in the ...
Tea party favorite Allen West calls Wasserman Schultz 'vile, unprofessional, and despicable'

Tea-party favorite Allen West called fellow Broward U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz “vile and despicable” in an email after she trashed a Republican budget-cutting plan Tuesday night on the House floor. In his verbal explosion, the Plantation Republican suggested his beef with Wasserman Schultz began in October 2010 and “the disgusting protest you ordered at my campaign” headquarters in Deerfield Beach, West said in his email. But what finally set West off was the fact that Wasserman Schultz, the Democratic National Committee chair, said on the House floor that it was “unbelievable from a Member from South Florida" to support a plan that slashes Medicaid ...
Herman Cain: If You Mess With Israel, You Mess With America

Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain says if he were commander-in-chief and Iran attacked Israel, he would not “sit back and wait” to get permission from the United Nations before retaliating in cooperation with the Jewish nation. The Baptist minister and CEO, speaking with the Washington Times Monday, cautioned that the very first option in his “Cain Doctrine” would be to explain the Unites States' policy in regard to Israel. Reporters had asked the Republican candidate if he agreed with former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton's comment that a preemptive strike against Iran was the only option to prevent that nation from advancing its nuclear ...

Rick Perry has yet to launch his 2012 presidential campaign, but his meeting in Austin last week, reported in National Review and elsewhere, with a set of Republican foreign policy hands seems to offer a glimpse at his emergent platform. Perry reportedly met former Bush aides Doug Feith and William Luti, both strong internal backers of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, Daniel Fata, whose article today is headed, "Why Iraq Still Matters." The names of invitees to the Wednesday briefing — and impressions from attendees at the meeting —suggested to GOP foreign policy hands that Perry will likely stand on the hawkish side of a foreign policy divide inside the Republican ...

One of the serious problems facing the Republican Party is that their leadership cadre is aging and ossifying. The people who make up the county and state committees all over the country are getting older and older and increasingly out of touch with the grassroots of the party and the younger people who vote Republican but aren't at all satisfied with what the party has come to stand for or the way that it is run. The party desperately needs new blood and younger leaders who can relate to young voters. Yet it's awfully hard to get the entrenched blue-hairs to open their fists and share a little power, and even when they do they often aren't comfortable with the results. Young ...

He said he would probably announce his decision to run for president by the end of the summer. Watch video, courtesy of CNN, below:
Perry's credentials: As conservative as they come

Should Rick Perry conclude that voter discontent has left him an opening to enter the presidential race, the longtime Texas governor would be among the GOP field's most conservative candidates. Primary voters would get a skilled politician with TV anchorman looks, a Southern preacher's oratory and a cowboy's swagger, matched by a disarming candor and sense of humor. The former cotton farmer from the village of Paint Creek in West Texas has never lost an election in nearly three decades as a politician. What they wouldn't get is a candidate whose politics are positioned to unite a Republican electorate that stretches from moderate pro-business fiscal conservatives to ...
Herman Cain: Communities Have The Right To Ban Mosques

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said Sunday that any community should be able to ban mosques because there is a big difference between Islam and "our other traditional religions." Last week, Cain came out again a proposed mosque in Murfreesboro, Tennessee on the grounds that it was an "infringement and an abuse of our freedom of religion." "They have operated, Muslim worshipers at another site there for more than 20 years," Fox News Chris Wallace noted in an interview with Cain. "What is your objection for them building a new mosque?" "Our Constitution guarantees separation of church and state," Cain explained. "Islam ...
Poll: Chaffetz Leads Hatch In Potential Senate Primary Challenge

A new survey of Utah from Public Policy Polling (D) shows longtime Sen. Orrin Hatch vulnerable for the Republican nomination, trailing his potential opponent Rep. Jason Chaffetz. The numbers: Chaffetz 47%, Hatch 43%. The survey of Republican primary voters was conducted from July 8-10, and has a ±4.9% margin of error. Chaffetz, who was first elected to Congress in 2008 by defeating an incumbent in the GOP primary, has been considering a challenge against Hatch. The poll gives Chaffetz a favorable rating of 61%, to 17% unfavorable. Hatch's approval rating is actually a very similar 60%, to a disapproval of 28%. However, the poll also asked: "Generally speaking, would you ...
Ron Paul And Six Other Republicans Presidential Candidates Refuse To Sign Family Leader Pledge

Ron Paul joined six other Republican presidential candidates Thursday in refusing to sign the controversial Family Leader "marriage vow." Paul adviser Jesse Benton told Politico that he would not sign the pledge in its current form. So far, Michelle Bachmann and Rick Santorum are the only presidential candidates to have accepted the document. By signing the pledge, Santorum and Bachmann vowed to remain faithful to their spouses and support a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage, as well as agreeing that same sex marriage was akin to polygamy. They both also promised to ban "all forms of pornography and prostitution, infanticide, abortion and other types of ...
Michele Bachmann's Church Says the Pope Is the Antichrist
Post Date: 2011-07-14 20:45:24 by Brian S

Michele Bachmann is practically synonymous with political controversy, and if the 2008 presidential election is any guide, the conservative Lutheran church she belonged to for many years is likely to add another chapter due to the nature of its beliefs--such as its assertion, explained and footnoted on this website, that the Roman Catholic Pope is the Antichrist. Bachmann was a longtime member of the Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church in Stillwater, Minn., which belongs to the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), a council of churches founded in 1850 that today comprises about 400,000 people. WELS is the most conservative of the major Lutheran church organizations, known for its ...
55% Oppose Tax Hike In Debt Ceiling Deal

As the Beltway politicians try to figure out how they will raise the debt ceiling and for how long, most voters oppose including tax hikes in the deal. Just 34% think a tax hike should be included in any legislation to raise the debt ceiling. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 55% disagree and say it should not. (To see survey question wording, click here.) There is a huge partisan divide on the question. Fifty-eight percent (58%) of Democrats want a tax hike in the deal while 82% of Republicans do not. Among those not affiliated with either major political party, 35% favor a tax hike and 51% are opposed. Americans who earn more than $75,000 a year are evenly ...
"Republican Candidate" Extends Lead vs. Obama to 47% to 39%

Registered voters by a significant margin now say they are more likely to vote for the "Republican Party's candidate for president" than for President Barack Obama in the 2012 election, 47% to 39%. Preferences had been fairly evenly divided this year in this test of Obama's re-election prospects. The latest results are based on a July 7-10 poll, and show that the Republican has an edge for the second consecutive month. Obama held a slight edge in May, when his approval rating increased after the death of Osama bin Laden. As his rating has come back down during the last two months, so has his standing on the presidential "generic ballot." Gallup typically uses ...
Our view: Candidates who sign pledges outsource their brains

Among the major Republican presidential candidates, only former Utah governor Jon Huntsman is refusing to sign all pledges proffered by interest groups, ranging from Grover Norquist's 25-year-old anti-tax vow to newer promises to forswear adultery and oppose Islamic sharia law. Good for Huntsman. Or maybe we should say, "Good luck." snip Huntsman's refusal to knuckle under to gimmicky political bullying might cost him — the groups won't endorse or encourage donations to candidates who defy them. And simple-minded pledges carry weight with many voters who prefer that their politicians never change their minds or cut deals with opponents. Click for Full Text!

In a meeting with a small group of reporters in his Capitol Hill office this morning, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, criticized President Obama and White House officials for their lack of resolve in negotiations. “Dealing with them the last couple months has been like dealing with Jell-o,” Boehner said. “Some days it’s firmer than others. Sometimes it’s like they’ve left it out over night.” Boehner explained that talks broke down over the weekend because, he said, the president backed off entitlement reforms so much from Friday to Saturday, “It was Jell-o; it was damn near liquid.” “By Saturday, they’d spent the previous day and ...
Citing Low Participation, Tea Party Cancels Planned Autumn Rally In Kansas City, Kansas

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Citing a lack of participation, organizers of a tea party rally and convention planned for this fall at The Woodlands racetrack in Kansas City, Kan., have canceled the event. Organizers of the Freedom Jamboree said Tuesday that not enough tea party organizations would commit to the event, which was scheduled for late September and early October. One of the organizers, William Temple, told The Kansas City Star that tea partiers weren't prepared to spend the money to attend the event. The event was expected to attract Rep. Michele Bachmann and former Sen. Rick Santorum, both Republican presidential candidates.
Wisconsin Recall Election Results: Democrats Win Big

Wisconsin Democrats won big Tuesday night, defeating opponents in a recall election. All six official Democrats have been projected as winners by the Associated Press. When the unofficial results were totaled Tuesday night, recall candidate Shelly Moore easily won Wisconsin’s 10th Senate District primary 3,000 votes ahead of her opponent. Ms. Moore had just under 54 percent of the 35,790 votes cast and Isaac Weix had just under 45 percent. The six Democrats who won on Tuesday — Nancy Nusbaum, state Representative Sandy Pasch, Shelly Moore, state Representative Fred Clark, Jessica King and Jennifer Shilling — will now seek to unseat six incumbent Republicans in recall ...

It has taken three decades, but Americans are finally living through Jimmy Carter’s second term. Now we’ve got Jimmy Jr. barking at us from the White House about eating our peas and ripping off our Band-Aid. He might not even let us have our Social Security checks. These are just the latest in a long line of nagging lectures. Already, we have been taught how we should sneeze into the crook of our arm. We need to drive less. And we need to caulk up those drafty houses of ours. What ever happened to the soaring rhetoric and big bold ideas President Obama promised us in that historic election of his? Is this what he meant by a new kind of politics? If so, no thanks. Oh, and it is ...
Obama Urges Republicans To Follow Reagan Example

President Barack Obama urged Republicans to draw inspiration from the hero of fiscal conservatives, Ronald Reagan, who had agreed to revenue increases to cut the US deficit. "Ronald Reagan repeatedly took steps that included revenue, in order for him to accomplish some of these larger goals," Obama told CBS in an interview. "And the question is if Ronald Reagan could compromise -- why wouldn't folks who idolize Ronald Reagan be willing to engage in those same kinds of compromises." Reagan was a staunch Republican, who led the United States for two terms from 1981 to 1989, and was in power when Congress was controlled by the Democrats. He was known for ...
