Sen. Harry Reid speaks on Senate floor week after surgery required after exercise accident
Post Date: 2015-02-02 23:09:23 by out damned spot

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid is back on the Senate floor speaking about legislation, a week after surgery to remove a blood clot in his right eye and repair bones in his face. The 75-year-old Reid walked without assistance to his podium in the Senate, accepted a welcome back handshake from Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and thanked his colleagues for their well-wishes. His eye was bandaged and his jaw appeared bruised. Reid broke bones in his face and fractured ribs when a piece of exercise equipment broke at his new home in Nevada. Doctors are optimistic that Reid will regain vision in his injured eye, although they are not yet able to say for sure. He ...

What a puppet show this all is. This cycle perhaps worse than ever before in the history of America. We’ve extensively covered how Senator Cruz is just another puppet of the establishment. What do you really expect from a Bush lawyer and advisor with a Goldman Sachs/Council on Foreign Relations Bush advisor wife (who just so happened to co-write the CFR’s blueprint for the North American Union)? This man even argued in his own amicus brief to the Supreme Court that assault weapons bans in certain states are “reasonable regulations” for crying out loud. On January 29th, Cruz posted a picture on his official Facebook page of himself hanging out with war criminal ...

How can libertarians overcome public distrust and indifference to successfully sell liberty? [Full Thread]

I wrote this article for libertarian activists. A Facebook conversation with gun-rights activist Darren Wolfe led me to write it. In our exchange, we both concluded that too many libertarians do not understand two key points: Liberty needs to be sold.You need to know HOW to sell liberty if you want to draw more people into the libertarian movement. Selling liberty is a huge concept that I can’t realistically cover in one article. There are so many facets to it. In this article, I will limit myself to presenting two facets only, and even they will necessarily be long- winded presentations. My plan by the time I finish is to give you both an essay outlining the enormity of the problem ...

Scott Walker seeks to deflate the GOP’s libertarian streak
Post Date: 2015-02-02 06:50:38 by Tooconservative
1 Comments
One of the major takeaways from the Des Moines Register poll of the GOP primary electorate that found Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker surging ahead of the pack in the Hawkeye State is his apparent appeal to both the Republican Party’s conservative and moderate wings. “A majority think he’s got the right balance between conservative and moderate,” said Ann Selzer, president of the respected firm that conducted this poll. “Caucus-goers deciding on the basis of a candidate’s values put him in second place, and he’s in first place with those who say electability is more important.” It is a safe bet to assume that any candidate who can appeal to both of ...

Walker, eyeing 2016 White House bid, says he's open to sending US troops to fight ISIS

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate, said Sunday he is open to sending U.S. troops to the Middle East to defeat Islamic State fighters -- a bold foreign policy statement in contrast with the Obama administration’s position. Walker told ABC’s “This Week” that he wouldn’t rule out sending troops, as Islamic State appears to grow and strengthen despite U.S.-led efforts to destroy the radical Islamic group. “I wouldn't rule out anything,” Walker said. “When you have the lives of Americans at stake ... we have to be prepared to do things that don't allow those measures, those attacks, those abuses to ...

Gov. Scott Walker: Time for ‘new’ approach to governing [Full Thread]

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said Friday that ordinary Americans are tired of the heavy hand of Washington and are yearning for elected leaders to take a “fresh” bottom-up approach to governance that empowers states and localities. Mr. Walker’s message coincided with the news that Mitt Romney was taking a pass on a third White House bid — setting the stage for a royal rumble over the fundraisers and high-dollar donors who had been waiting to see what the former Massachusetts governor would do. “What I see in the states, and from the people in this country outside Washington is a craving for something new, something fresh,” Mr. Walker said at the American ...

Porn Star Belle Knox Doesn't Know What Libertarianism Is. Neither Do Libertarians. [Full Thread]

Belle Knox, the enterprising Duke undergraduate who ascended to fame last year after her porn career was discovered by nosy classmates, has decided to direct her notoriety to politics. In an interview with Business Insider, Knox expressed her desire to become a libertarian political activist, having already begun work with libertarian campus groups. Knox evidently identifies failed screenwriter Ayn Rand as a personal hero, and supports the Paul dynasty, citing appreciation for both Ron and son Rand. And she attributed her libertarianism to her conservative religious upbringing. “I grew up Catholic, so I grew up in a very, very, conservative background and that, I think, really was ...

Time for Scott Walker to get serious about foreign policy

It came as no surprise to me that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker dazzled the audience at the recent Iowa Freedom Summit. I have long touted the potential strength of Walker as a presidential candidate. He has an impressive record of actual governing accomplishments and has advanced conservative ideas in the face of fierce opposition from unions and liberal activists nationwide. He’s also demonstrated clear political skill in winning three elections in four years in a blue state. At a time of division among Republicans, it’s hard to think of another candidate who can excite conservatives as much as Walker without giving nightmares to party elites. I also never really understood ...

Former GOP nominee Romney will not run for president in '16

After a three-week flirtation with another run for president, Mitt Romney said definitively on Friday that he will not seek the White House in 2016. The Republican Party's 2012 nominee plans to tell supporters about his plans to pass on another national campaign during a conference call. He first let his staff know in a separate call that he was out of the race. "After putting considerable thought into making another run for president, I've decided it is best to give other leaders in the party the opportunity to become our next nominee," Romney said in a statement, which he planned to read to supporters on the call. The former governor of Massachusetts had jumped back ...

Republican Party of Texas Chairman Steve Munisteri, seen at the party's Fort Worth convention in June, will handle communications on U.S. Sen. Rand Paul's politicial team. WASHINGTON — Sen. Rand Paul on Thursday picked up the backing of the Republican Party of Texas’ chairman, who is stepping down from his role to take a position as a national senior adviser to the Kentucky Republican’s presidential campaign-in-waitingIn doing so, Steve Munisteri bypassed two Texans who are also likely to seek the Republican nomination: Sen.

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton remain the front-runners for their respective party’s presidential nominations.

Click for full results of the poll (pdf) In the quest for the GOP nomination, Romney leads with 21 percent among self- identified Republicans. He’s followed by Kentucky Sen.

American Christianity is losing its grip on political power — and that's good news for Christians

As secular and liberal America prepares to celebrate the probable triumph of same-sex marriage at the Supreme Court in June, let’s take a moment to note how differently some of our fellow citizens view the same development. These are not simple-minded (or pseudo-philosophical) bigots. They are thoughtful, devout Christians trying to make sense of a cultural revolution they feel powerless to reverse or control — and which they fear will sweep them, much that they cherish, and a good part of what’s most valuable in the historically Christian civilization of the West into the gutter. The stakes, as far as these dissenters are concerned, are enormous. The best, most ...

Bergdahl Verdict Will Be White House’s Next Political Headache
Post Date: 2015-01-29 19:43:50 by Gatlin

The Army is weighing whether to charge former prisoner of war Bowe Bergdahl with desertion, a lesser crime, or nothing at all, a decision that is likely to spark a new political firestorm over the Obama administration’s decision to release five Taliban prisoners to win his release. The Bergdahl controversy, which had largely disappeared from public view for months, came roaring back this week after Fox News reported that his attorney has received a “charge sheet” from the Army calling Bergdahl a deserter. NBC News followed up with a report saying that Bergdahl will “likely be charged with desertion.” The Defense Department adamantly denied the reports, calling them ...

Rand Paul's Difficult Romance with Kochworld

This morning, Politico's Ken Vogel and Tarini Parti reported that Kentucky Senator Rand Paul had underperformed at the past week's Koch brothers showcase. (More officially, it was a gathering of the donors who supported the Koch network of pressure groups, and who finally saw returns in 2014.) Many, including Bloomberg Politics' Michael Bender and Julie Bykowicz, had reported that Florida Senator Marco Rubio did himself the most good. Vogel and Parti reported on a "straw poll" that determined the extent of Paul's problem, conducted by Frank Luntz in a breakout session. "Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul—who received the least enthusiastic response from donors ...

The lively Republican presidential primary is only getting livelier. A fascinating development on the donor front could indicate which way the winds of fortune will blow for the prospective GOP candidates ahead of the early primary debates later this year. Politico reporters Ken Vogel and Tarini Parti were recently privy to the results of a straw poll conducted among donors linked to the Koch network – a group that recently revealed plans to spend a mammoth $889 million sum on behalf of their favored Republican candidate in the coming election. As Politico noted, it is unclear if that hefty sum will benefit their candidate in the primaries, but having the backing of this powerful ...

Here's Why Rand Paul Might Be The Front Runner In The 2016 GOP Primary

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) thinks Mitt Romney, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) might actually help him win the 2016 GOP presidential primary. And Paul isn't the only one who thinks this trio of high-powered rivals could give him an edge. In a recent conversation with Business Insider, a close ally of one of the other candidates went so far as to say the current likely composition of the Republican field gives Paul the best shot at a victory. "Based on where the primary electorate is right now, if there's a front-runner in this race from an electoral perspective, it's probably Rand Paul," the source said. The theory behind ...

On the morning before attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch would face Congress, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul re-introduced a bill that would tie her hands. Paul and a crew of congressmen—Minnesota Representative Keith Ellison, Michigan Representative Tim Walberg—had resurrected the Fifth Amendment Integrity Act. If passed, it would restrict the government’s ability, from the Department of Justice on down to local cops, to seize property from criminal suspects. “We’ve had protests across our country, and people think it’s about one or two instances,” Paul said from the rostrum. “No. It’s one thing after another.

College sophomore Miriam Weeks found herself at the center of an international controversy last year when she became infamous as the "Duke porn star." Now, Weeks wants to make waves in the political world. She's working with a libertarian group on her campus and has a burgeoning public speaking career. In a phone conversation with Business Insider on Monday, Weeks discussed how her adult film career influenced her libertarian activism. "I think that my work and being in the porn industry definitely hits on so many libertarian themes like free speech, and censorship, and, you know, choice and autonomy over our bodies," Weeks explained.

The definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. We’re sorry, but we’re sick of people trying to lie to you and assure you that your vote for ANYONE in the presidential bread and circuses dog and pony show coming up in 2016 is going to matter in the slightest itty bitty teensy weensy little bit. Both sides of the carpet are corrupt and the entire system is not just broken, but irrevocably so. Nevertheless, we’ve heard people waxing all optimistic on the false choices you’ll be advertised — you know, freedom, The Constitution, and stuff — but this rosy picture requires NOT looking at the man behind the curtain ...

Founded by some of most hard-line GOP lawmakers, the House Freedom Caucus will lobby for bills that would limit the size of the government. “The House Freedom Caucus gives a voice to countless Americans who feel that Washington does not represent them. We support open, accountable and limited government, the Constitution and the rule of law, and policies that promote the liberty, safety and prosperity of all Americans,” the caucus’s mission statement reads.

President Barack Obama’s approval rating is as high as it’s been since mid- 2013, reaching 50 percent on Monday according to Gallup. “Less than a week after President Barack Obama delivered his State of the Union address to Congress, his job approval rating reached 50% in Gallup Daily tracking conducted Friday through Sunday,” Gallup’s Lydia Saad wrote on Monday. “This is the first time the president’s rating has returned to that level in Gallup’s ongoing three-day rolling averages since June 2013.” This comes as Republicans have backed down from several immigration campaign promises as they seek to “govern” rather than follow ...

The 2016 presidential election is rearing its Hydra-like head, but some faces are starting to take more precedence than others. What’s more, as the New Year passes and Washington makes some headway into 2015, candidates are likely to begin officially announcing their intentions for the coming election. Hillary Clinton has indicated her decision will come post-January 1. Others, like Mitt Romney, have already said they don’t plan to run, but whether or not they’re believed is another question. I take Mitt at his absolute word. He’s not running,” said Romney’s former political adviser Ron Kaufman, according to the Christian Science Monitor. Still, some won’t believe he’s out of the race ...

Des Moines, Iowa (CNN)In the so-called Invisible Primary of 2016, Jeb Bush is the invisible man — and he prefers it that way. After taking the political world by surprise in early January with the formation of a shiny new political committee, Bush has largely receded from public view, instead putting an acute focus on raising money and building what his growing team of aides describe as a "shock and awe" campaign operation.Aside from some previously-booked paid speeches, a series of banal postings on Instagram and Twitter and a few random run-ins with scrap-hungry reporters, the former Florida governor seems determined to avoid the traps of the horse race-driven daily news ...
