Rand Paul Promises To Filibuster Everything Over Debt Ceiling
Post Date: 2011-07-03 20:01:05 by Brian S
6 Comments
A group of tea party Senators plans to filibuster over raising the debt ceiling, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) announced in an interview that aired on C-SPAN Sunday. “I was part of a group this week that said, ‘No more,’” Paul explained. “We’re tired of talking about extraneous issues. We’ve had not one minute of debate about the debt ceiling in any committee. We haven’t had a budget in two years. We haven’t had an appropriations bill in two years.” “So I’m part of the freshman group in the Senate that’s saying, ‘no more.’ We’re not going to let them go to any issue if we have a say in it. We will filibuster until we ...
Olbermann: Bachmann Can’t Keep Her Husband ‘In The Closet’
Post Date: 2011-07-03 13:46:00 by Brian S
4 Comments
In this clip from Friday, Keith Olbermann has on Politico reporter Ken Vogel to discuss the troubling anti-gay statements of Michele Bachmann’s husband Marcus. Marcus Bachmann runs an “ex-gay” therapy center, a controversial type of therapy aimed at converting homosexuals into heterosexuals through Christ. Vogel suggests that perhaps Bachmann has been keeping her husband out of the spotlight because of his history of bizarre statements about homosexuals, including calling gays “barbarians” who need to be “disciplined”. Keith seems to believe that these bizarre statements are going to be a liability for Bachmann’s political aspirations. It’s going ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Thaddeus McCotter, a guitar-playing Michigan congressman with an independent streak, formally launched a longshot bid for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination on Saturday. The conservative McCotter made his formal announcement at an Independence Day rock festival outsideDetroit. He filed the paperwork on Friday to enter the Republican race for the right to challenge Democratic President Barack Obama. "Through your hard work and through your principled determination to bequeath to your children a better America, we will restructure the government," McCotter told the crowd at the rock festival, where he played guitar with a band.

GOP Leadership Opens Door To Homosexual Rep

Homosexual Republicans are celebrating what they see as a major victory for their cause. According to the Log Cabin Republicans, the Republican National Committee -- which is the central arm of the Republican Party -- has named the homosexual group's executive director to the RNC's Finance Committee. That committee is the fundraising arm of the RNC. The Log Cabin group says R. Clarke Cooper will play a "critical" role in raising funds for the party's efforts to elect Republicans to the White House and across the country. Cooper says he will be working to elect what he calls "pro-equality Republicans." Bob Kabel, a former national chairman of the Log ...
Herman Cain's Top Iowa Staff Resigns

A few days after two senior aides in New England, the other shoe drops on Herman Cain in Iowa: Herman Cain’s Iowa director, Tina Goff, told TheIowaRepublican.com that she has submitted her resignation and is no longer working for the campaign. In addition to Goff’s resignation, TheIowaRepublican.com can confirm that Kevin Hall has also left the campaign. Hall served as Cain’s Straw Poll coordinator. Goff and Hall both worked on Fred Thompson’s presidential campaign in 2008 and Iowa Governor Terry Branstad’s campaign in 2010. Goff stated that she resigned because the Cain campaign refused to make a serious effort in Iowa, the home of the First-in-the-Nation caucuses. ...
Fox Commentator: Bachmann And Palin Took History Together 'At Fleabag U'
Post Date: 2011-07-02 18:32:27 by Brian S
2 Comments
Liz Trotta, a commentator on Fox Saturday, remarked that two top conservative females, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, would inevitably be compared: “it’s almost preordained because it seems to be they both took the same American history course, and it may have been at Fleabag U.” Trotta was playfully quoting Rolling Stone‘s Matt Taibbi and Ezra Klein, but she didn’t refute the fact that Palin and Bachmann have each had their share of flubs, between Palin’s Revere gaffe and Bachmann’s insistence that John Quincy Adams is a founding father, among others. Watch the clip below, originally aired July 2, 2011, embedded via ...
FEC Approves Colbert ‘Super PAC’
Post Date: 2011-06-30 13:48:32 by Brian S

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) Friday gave Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert permission to set up his so-called Super PAC. Colbert was seeking to be able to use unlimited donations from corporations and individuals on independent expenditures to support or oppose candidates in the 2012 campaign cycle. Campaign finance reform advocates worried that the FEC would set a dangerous precedent if they agreed to Colbert's request for a "press exemption" to use the resources of Comedy Central's parent company Viacom in the Super PAC. "This would carve out a gaping loophole in campaign finance laws, allowing any company involved in media to foot, in secret and ...
Poll: Texans Prefer Obama Over Perry

A poll released Wednesday showed that in a hypothetical match-up for the presidency, President Barack Obama would defeat Texas Gov. Rick Perry among Texas voters by a margin of 45-47 percent. The findings put an exclamation point on the Republican governor's bizarre claim that he is a "prophet" because he's "not generally loved in his hometown." Texas is dominated by Republicans, who hold a super majority in the legislature. According to data from the Democrat-affiliated group Public Policy Polling, a large majority (59 percent) of Texans do not want their governor to seek the presidency, and only 33 percent would support him if he did. Overall, the poll ...

For months, Sarah Palin has kept the Republican Party and media guessing about her intentions Peter Singleton, a California lawyer who has been assiduously courting Republicans across the state where the first contest of the 2012 election will be held, said it was “unthinkable” she would remain on the sidelines. “She’s the right person at this time,” he told The Daily Telegraph. “If you look at Churchill’s time, in 1938 Churchill was unelectable, in 1940 he was indispensable.” He added: “I can’t see her sitting this one out. The stakes are too high. It goes back to 1940. Can you see Churchill sitting it out? It’s unthinkable. Can ...

(AP Photo/The Greenville News, Bart Boatwright) Herman Cain announced an economic plan Wednesday that includes eliminating taxes on capital gains. The former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza turned presidential candidate, known for usually speaking in generalities when it comes to policy, came out with the plan while stumping in South Carolina. “The capital gains tax represents a wall between people with money and people with ideas," Cain said. "And people with ideas are the catalyst for new businesses and new job ...
Tim Pawlenty Neocon, Ron Paul Anti-Neocon; The Great GOP Clash

The latest new Tim Pawlenty is the born-again neoconservative moving to the far right on warmaking issues, destined to clash with Ron Paul in the presidential debates. Actually, Pawlenty is not a born-again neocon. This is his first birth as warmaker in his latest version of Pawlenty. By contrast with Ron Paul, who has always been Ron Paul. Pawlenty was last seen declaring war against ObamneyCare, a war Pawlenty surrendered before the first battle. What a wimp! The latest Pawlenty, after heading for the hills in his war against Romney, is now escalating his war for Afghanistan. His new neocon position directly contradicts the long-held position of Ron Paul, setting the stage for a huge ...
Former Gov. Tim Pawlenty Criticizes President Obama For Supposedly Seeing Israel As A Problem

There is one slogan that unites the Republican presidential hopefuls: Hit Obama over his policy towards Israel. The Obama administration's foreign policy, particularly toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, has long been a favorite Republican target. Yesterday, former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty jumped on the bandwagon. Pawlenty has been sidelined in the past couple of weeks as tea party favorite Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachman stole the media limelight. She knows how to make headlines and raise money, and recent polls put her right behind the leading candidate, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. Pawlenty lags behind, but analysts include him in the group of ...
Bachmann's Husband Got $137,000 In Medicaid Funds; Pesidential Candidate Has Often Blasted Growing Welfare Programs

While Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn., has forcefully denounced the Medicaid program for swelling the "welfare rolls," the mental health clinic run by her husband has been collecting annual Medicaid payments totaling over $137,000 for the treatment of patients since 2005, according to new figures obtained by NBC News. The previously unreported payments are on top of the $24,000 in federal and state funds that Bachmann & Associates, the clinic founded by Marcus Bachmann, a clinical therapist, received in recent years under a state grant to train its employees, state records show. The figures were provided to NBC News in response to a Freedom of Information request. The ...
Bachmann Fans Float Wikipedia Edits To Cover Candidate’s Recent Gaffes

Several strange edits have shown up on Wikipedia entries pertaining to famed Americans referenced by Republican presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann -- specifically, it appears that her fans have attempted to rewrite the lives of actor John Wayne and President John Quincy Adams to fit her woefully inaccurate retellings of history. Bachmann, who officially launched her campaign yesterday in Waterloo, Iowa, told a Fox News reporter that she was proud to be in the town where John Wayne was from, because she embodies his ideals. Unfortunately for her, it turns out that the actor John Wayne was not from Waterloo, but serial killer John Wayne Gacy was. Shortly after the gaffe, the Wikipedia ...

Rep. Michele Bachmann, who officially announced yesterday in Iowa that she is running for president, appeared on “Good Morning America” Monday, where George Stephanopoulos attempted to clarify some of her previous statements. Among them: Bachmann’s claim that “the Founding Fathers who wrote the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence worked tirelessly to end slavery.” “Now with respect, Congresswoman, that’s just not true,” Stephanopoulos said. “Many of them including Jefferson and Washington were actually slave holders and slavery didn’t end until the Civil War.” Bachmann dodged the question, answering, “Well, you know ...

Governor Jerry Brown and state Democratic lawmakers announced Monday they have reached a deal on a budget that would not require tax extensions to bridge the state's $9.6 billion deficit. The plan relies on an anticipated $4 billion in additional revenue and will trigger deep cuts to many programs if that revenue drops below $3 billion. "Going forward, we expect more revenues in the budget year coming up. But in case we're over-optimistic, we have severe trigger cuts that will be triggers and will go into effect. Those are real," Brown said at a news conference Monday afternoon. snip He called the plan "the most austere fiscal blueprint California has seen in ...

Rep.

After 4 years in the House of Representatives as an advocate for spending cuts and limited government, Bachmann, dubbed the "Queen of the Tea Party," by The Weekly Standard, said she would help ...
Bachmann's had her share of government aid

The fiscal conservative from Minnesota and 2012 presidential contender has benefited personally from federal funds and federal farm subsidies. Rep. Michele Bachmann has been propelled into the 2012 presidential contest in part by her insistent calls to reduce federal spending, a pitch in tune with the big-government antipathy gripping many conservatives. But the Minnesota Republican and her family have benefited personally from government aid, an examination of her record and finances shows. A counseling clinic run by her husband has received nearly $30,000 from the state of Minnesota in the last five years, money that in part came from the federal government. A family farm in ...

Romney The Jobs-Destroyer Goes After Obama On Manufacturing jobs

Mitt Romney is trying to make jobs, and in particular manufacturing jobs, an issue against Obama. Romney aides say he will stay on offense. "Mitt was emphasizing this administration's failure to create manufacturing jobs, or any jobs for that matter," said Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul. "As president, Mitt Romney will make job creation his top priority, including the creation of jobs in manufacturing." One doesn't have to think Obama has had the best job creation or manufacturing policies to see a few problems with this. First off, this is Mitt Romney's own record on job creation: Mitt Romney's campaign spin is that he was a businessman, so he ...

Aligning yourself too closely to the tea party could be a great way to lose an election in Florida, apparently. So says a recent poll by Gainesville, Florida based polling firm War Room Logistics. In the poll, registered Florida voters said 2:1 that the tea party did not represent their views. War Room's Alex Patton says this could pose "a real danger to Republican candidates". Democrats and independents both gave the tea party the thumbs down, with independent voters holding unfavorable views of the nascent far-right movement 3-to-1. Typically Florida elections are decided by independent voters, and the only constituency still in favor of the recent tide of tea party ...

June 23 (Bloomberg) -- Mitt Romney, the frontrunner in the Republican presidential race, is in strong shape with his party’s rank and file as the 2012 nomination race enters a more heated phase. Among Republicans, 59 percent hold a favorable view of the former Massachusetts governor, according to a Bloomberg National Poll, while only 16 percent view him negatively.

WASHINGTON--Not many Republicans play up their academic credentials. Count former House Speaker and struggling presidential candidate Newt Gingrich as one of the few who do. But has Gingrich emphasized his scholarly cred a little too much? As of yesterday morning, Gingrich's biography on his campaign's website included this curious resume stuffer: "He is also the longest-serving teacher of the Joint War Fighting course for Major Generals and taught officers from all five services as a Distinguished Visiting Scholar and Professor at the National Defense University." Before Gingrich entered politics, he taught at West Georgia College. He has also long promoted his ...
