Scott Walker shows fire in Iowa
Post Date: 2015-01-26 13:06:22 by Gatlin

DES MOINES, Iowa — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) delivered a fiery speech in Iowa on Saturday, wowing the conservative crowd with a passionate argument for small government and his own lengthy resume. The Wisconsin governor, in rolled-up shirtsleeves, paced the stage as he blasted big government and touted a long list of conservative reforms he's pushed through in blue Wisconsin. The governor also showed a rhetorical flourish that's largely been absent from his previous campaigns, drawing the crowd to its feet multiple times. "There's a reason we take a day off to celebrate the 4th of July and not the 15th of April," he said, almost yelling as his voice grew ...
Libertarians have ‘good reason to be optimistic’ (43% of Americans are independents, 30% D, 26% R)

Gary Johnson, who ran for the White house in 2012 as the Libertarian Party candidate, now leads a national movement to allow third party candidates in national presidential debates. (Associated press) A recent Gallup poll revealed that self-described “independents” are the nation’s largest political demographic. Indeed a record-breaking 43 percent of Americans now say they are independents, compared to 30 percent who are Democrats and 26 percent who are Republican.Now comes some promising news for the tenacious Libertarian Party, which plans multiple state conventions in the coming months and offered its own response to President Obama’s State of the Union address last ...
The New Progressive Mitt Romney is the Same as the Old Progressive Mitt Romney

Mother Jones’ David Corn has found a new "progressive champion" in a somewhat surprising candidate: Mitt Romney. Corn is not exactly a committed Romney booster: He helped tank Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential ambitions by publishing Romney’s infamous 47 percent remarks, in what was probably the biggest single scoop of the campaign. But now Corn is arguing that liberals should embrace the newly "remodeled" former GOP governor of Massachusetts, and "encourage him to return to the political battlefield." "Romney, apparently seeing the error of his ‘severely conservative’ ways, ...
GOP Summit—The Good, The Bad And The Absolutely Crazy

GOP presidential contenders flocked to Iowa on Saturday to try out their pitches on the unofficial beginning of the Iowa Caucus. Hint: Sarah Palin has lost her mind.You’re going to read a lot of analysis of this weekend’s Freedom Summit as the unofficial beginning of the Iowa caucus. Whether that’s true depends entirely on how many of those who attended are still standing one long year from now—and how many of those who didn’t attend (Jeb Bush, Rand Paul) have campaigns that are still alive and well.The event does serve as a gauge for a candidate’s willingness to pander, and it is the beginning of serious media scrutiny for all the candidates as 2016 ...
Fact-checking Rand Paul's disability claims
Post Date: 2015-01-24 23:33:43 by Born Free

Washington (CNN) Sen. Rand Paul drew fire from Democrats on Wednesday after he claimed widespread fraud and abuse of the Social Security disability insurance program while speaking in the early presidential primary state of New Hampshire. "Over half of the people on disability are either anxious or their back hurts," said Paul, who is an ophthalmologist. "Everybody in this room knows somebody who's gaming the system." Those are some pretty hefty accusations that feed into the standard conservative line that social security is another mismanaged, abused and bloated government program. And of course, Democrats didn't skip a beat in going after him for the comments. ...

Republicans returned to their war on Obamacare on Thursday. It didn’t go well. On Thursday, Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander, the new chairman of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, convened a hearing on one of the measures Republicans have been championing as a means to undermine the Affordable Care Act: changing the way it defines full-time work. Under the law, any employer with 50 or more full-time workers must provide them with decent health coverage or pay a per-worker fine of $3,000. To expand coverage as broadly as possible, the law’s Democratic authors defined full-time employees as anyone working 30 or more hours per week. Since then, Republicans have been ...
Great news. Republicans look at eliminating filibuster for SCOTUS nominees

I was expecting some action out of the new Congress, but I really never saw this one coming. A group of Republican Senators led by Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) are floating the idea of further extending the nuclear option enacted by the Democrats to take filibusters off the table when considering nominees to the Supreme Court. Clearly wiser heads than myself have been able to determine why this is such a great idea, because I’m not seeing it at the moment. Top Senate Republicans are considering gutting the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees — a move that could yield big rewards for whichever party controls the White House and Senate after 2016. The move, ...

The flawed libertarian response to the Charlie Hebdo attacks

Libertarians can't seem to agree on what to make of the horrible terrorist attacks in France. Ron Paul, the man most responsible for America's libertarian moment, says the deadly attacks against Charlie Hebdo's Paris office were "blowback" against an interventionist French and American foreign policy. Matt Welch, editor-in- chief of the most influential libertarian magazine Reason, says the newsroom slaughter was an obvious free speech issue. Now, libertarian infighting is nothing new. Google "privatize lighthouses" if you don't believe me. But this new debate is particularly important because libertarian-leaning conservatives have a growing influence ...

NBC News confirms that Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is taking new steps toward a possible 2016 presidential run. He has hired a new finance director (Anna Rogers from the Karl Rove-backed group American Crossroads); has planned early state visits for next month; and is skipping Senate votes next week to raise money in California. The news was first reported by ABC. A Rubio aide also tells NBC News that the Florida senator has brought two major GOP donors on board: George Seay, the founder & CEO of Annadale Capital; and Jim Rubrich, former CEO of RockTenn. None of this is a guarantee Rubio will ultimately run. Jeb Bush’s likely candidacy is a major hurdle for Rubio, especially when ...

How a core Republican principle got complicated. Last October, Reince Priebus gave a speech with a conspicuous omission. Just 33 days before the midterm elections, the Republican National Committee Chairman headed to George Washington University to give a speech on the issues that bring Republicans together. Priebus ticked off a lengthy list of policy proposals that all the party’s candidates could highlight, noting that they could work for anyone, “whether you’re running for governor in New England or Congress in the South or statehouse in the West.” The speech was highly detailed. The chairman praised specific pieces of legislation and touted the construction of the ...

The Senate Democrats' wounded leader is eager to show that he's still pulling the strings. Harry Reid doesn’t particularly like long phone calls. He is known to abruptly hang up after a quick conversation with an aide, a senator or a lobbyist. But in the aftermath of a grisly New Year’s Day exercise accident, which gave him four broken ribs and may leave him permanently blind in one eye, the 75- year-old Nevada Democrat has been burning up the phones with up to 50 calls per day, trying to make clear that he’s still in charge. He may be keeping largely out of the public eye, but his conversations with other senators, President Barack Obama and prominent Democratic ...

Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney plan to meet in Utah as early as Thursday, as both men consider launching a Republican presidential run. Aides to both former governors confirmed the private meeting to Fox News on Thursday. The sitdown apparently had been planned before Romney took the surprise step two weeks ago of telling donors he was considering a 2016 bid. A senior Bush adviser described it as a "long-scheduled meeting." "Gov. Bush is looking forward to catching up with Gov. Romney," the adviser told Fox News. Whether the meeting, first reported by The New York Times, will be a symbolic gesture -- or a chance for the heavyweight Republican figures to try and avoid a bitter ...
White House Drops ‘News’ from Fox News Place Cards at State of the Union Lunch

It was a subtler snub than the Obama administration’s 2009 claim that Fox News was “a wing of the Republican party.” But that didn’t stop Fox anchor Shepard Smith from calling out the White House for slighting the news network at Tuesday’s State of the Union lunch. Smith spent much of his on-air news hour waxing poetic about the lunch, which President Obama held in order to lay out his policy proposals before a small group of influential news anchors. But at the end of his broadcast, the Fox anchor pointed out a minor — but almost certainly intentional — difference between his fancy place card and those of the other network anchors. “I sat next ...

Reince Priebus, Republican National Committee chairman, says that potential presidential contenders will have to poll above certain levels to earn a spot in the GOP debates. In a radio interview on the "Hugh Hewitt Show" Monday, the conservative host asked Priebus how the debates would work if there were 20 candidates vying to be heard. “You can’t,” Priebus said. “You can’t do 20 people. … You have to have certain thresholds in place, so you have to be at 1 percent of the vote in Iowa, and that threshold can move like a slide rule based on the proximity to the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primaries, just like it did before.” Priebus said the ...
Ted Cruz to Scuttle NASA Climate Change Programs

Rabid climate change denier Sen. Ted Cruz, new chairman of the Senate subcommittee in charge of overseeing NASA, has told the space agency to focus on space exploration and not on "political distractions that are extraneous to NASA's mandate" such as climate change. Cruz's chairmanship of the subcommittee is setting off a panic among environmental groups that are seriously concerned the Texas senator will do what he can to impede NASA research into climate change. Cruz has said his priority is to reinvigorate U.S. space exploration, which means NASA programs monitoring climate change will be placed on the back burner. NASA, however, is a champion in the global fight ...

Rand Paul resumes the campaign trail Wednesday, returning to the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire for a full day of events. It's his first time to the Granite State since he made a two-day swing in October to campaign for Scott Brown, and his fifth visit to the state in the past year. But this time there's no hiding under the guise of a 2014 surrogate.
