Who’s bankrolling secretive liberal group America Votes? A dozen donors account for 60 percent of Democratic nonprofit’s receipts By Michael Beckelemail, 1:53 pm, May 21, 2014 Even as top Democrats denounce Charles and David Koch’s political “dark money” organizations, party operatives have built a secretive nonprofit network of their own — albeit a much smaller one — to advance liberal policies and win votes. America Votes, which seeks to build “a permanent advocacy and campaign infrastructure” to “promote progressive issues,” raised $12.7 million during its most recent fiscal year, according to new tax documents reviewed by the ...

Well folks Obama’s gone and done it…he’s pulled the wool over our eyes by successfully diverted and deflected our attention off the upcoming election… diverted our attention off his cleverly ‘put on hold’ amnesty plan…diverted our attention off ISIS actually surging ahead and gaining ground in Iraq and off Iran moving forward with their nuclear enrichment program…as well as diverting our attention off ‘supposed’ improving economic recovery numbers that are anything but…and he’s done it all by keeping us focused on a virus that (rightfully) scares people to death…a virus known as Ebola.

A new low point for Martha Robertson’s failing campaign. Democrat Martha Robertson has had so many self-inflicted troubles in her campaign against incumbent Republican Tom Reed in NY-23, it’s hard to catalog them all. Robertson has been written off by the DCCC and every major nonpartison national analyst, a long comedown from the heady days when she was considered a prime “Red to Blue” prospect to flip a Republican seat. When a candidate loses credibility, it’s hard to regain. At the candidate debate tonight, that lost credibility was evidenced when Robertson accused Reed of being part of the War Against Women. She actually used the phrase “you’re part ...

The Blaze is reporting that during President Barack Obama’s speech held in Maryland at a Democratic campaign rally, crowd members, almost exclusively of an audience made up Blacks headed for the exits as Obama began to speak. Reuters reported that this act “underscored his continuing unpopularity” . Most Democratic candidates have had the good sense to avoid Obama like he has Ebola. However, Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, who’s running for governor, is not one of them. As Obama spoke at the rally for Brown in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, near Washington, a “steady stream of people walked out of the auditorium,” Reuters reported. Obama was heckled as he attempted to ...

A single Bronx voter listed in official records as being 164 years old led Board of Elections officials to review their files — where they turned up another 849 New Yorkers who were supposedly alive when Abe Lincoln was president. A single Bronx voter listed in official records as being 164 years old led Board of Elections officials to review their files — where they turned up another 849 New Yorkers who were supposedly alive when Abe Lincoln was president. The stunning discovery came after The Post reported last week that the birth date of Luz Pabellon, a spry 73-year-old who has been living and voting in The Bronx since the 1970s, was recorded as Jan. 1, 1850. This week, a ...

The Facebook social media site has engaged in a censorshoip campaign to ban anti-Obama postings. The Daily Caller reports that, "Some people are not happy with a Yahoo News story on a large portion of the crowd walking out on President Obama at a Maryland campaign speech Sunday — and they’re reporting it as spam." Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is a major donor to President Barry Obama. According to the Daily Caller, "The walkout story is embarrassing to the president and casts a negative light on Democrats’ prospects on the eve of the November election. As political passions heat up, some people are letting their emotions get the better of them and reporting ...
Monica Lewinsky’s return is scaring Hillary’s backers

When Monica Lewinsky reemerged in the May issue of Vanity Fair, many speculated that the timing of the infamous former White House intern’s return to the spotlight was relatively good news for Hillary Clinton. It suggested, some speculated, that Lewinsky’s determination to air the dirty laundry of the 1990s in early 2014 was good timing for Clinton, and that the issue would be fully litigated long before the 2016 campaign began in earnest. That assumption went out the window this month when Lewinsky joined Twitter and began to speak openly and without regret about the incident that made hers a household name. Apparently, Lewinsky has done some maturing in the time she has spent ...

Chalk it up to karma, fate or bad luck. Whatever you call it, the Ebola scare is proof that Bad Things Happen to Bad Presidents. The morphing of what is a single case into near panic is, according to medical experts, unwarranted. They point out that, so far, one person from Liberia died in a Texas hospital and two nurses who treated him got sick. Period, end of panic. In rational and medical terms, they may be right. But their calculations omit another factor. It’s the X factor. In this case, X stands for trust. President Obama has spent six years squandering it, and the administration’s confusion, contradictions and mistakes on Ebola fit the pattern. This is how he rolls. ...

(President Barack Obama waves as he arrives for a campaign rally for Maryland Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown (R) at a High School in Upper Marlboro, Maryland October 19, 2014.) President Barack Obama made a rare appearance on the campaign trail on Sunday with a rally to support the Democratic candidate for governor in Maryland, but early departures of crowd members while he spoke underscored his continuing unpopularity. With approval levels hovering around record lows, Obama has spent most of his campaign-related efforts this year raising money for struggling Democrats, who risk losing control of the U.S. Senate in the Nov. 4 midterm election. Most candidates from his party have been wary of ...

Obama voters are having a case of buyer’s remorse, according to a new USA Today/Suffolk University poll in six states with key Senate races this November. The number of likely voters “who can remember voting” for President Obama has turned out to be lower than the actual number that did, USA Today reports. And of those who confessed to helping reelect the president in 2012, one in seven said they now regret their decision. Of the six states in the polling, only Kansas featured as many likely voters who remembered voting Obama as those who actually did (at 38 percent apiece.) In the other states, it broke down in the following manner. Arkansas had 37 percent Obama voters ...

SHREVEPORT, Louisiana — Retired Air Force Col. Rob Maness, one of the two Republican candidates for U.S. Senate here against incumbent Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), on Wednesday introduced three positive television ads for his supporters to vote on—and is asking the grassroots to decide which one he puts on the air for the final three weeks of the campaign. "Louisianans are throwing up their hands daily and saying 'there they go again!' We saw it in the debate last night, and we've seen it on our TV sets for months now,” Maness said in a statement. “My two Washington-backed opponents have spent more than $10 million of negative advertising, and ...
Democrats Try To Deflect Blame For Ebola Outbreak, Fail Abysmally

A ridiculous and over-the-top ad produced by a progressive non-profit blames Republican budget cuts for the Ebola outbreak in an attempt to deflect criticism away from the incompetent Obama administration. Via RCP: The Agenda Project is a progressive non-profit political organization founded in 2010 by author Erica Payne. This ad, featuring clips of Mitch McConnell, Pat Roberts, and many other Republicans implies that austerity cuts to the Centers for Disease Control and National Institutes of Health are responsible for the 2014 Ebola outbreak. The ad, titled "Republican Cuts Kill," will run in Kentucky and other states leading up to the election. www.youtube.com/watch? v=c3D0 ...

Remember back when Democrat Congressman Jim Moran, U.S. Representative for Virginia’s 8th congressional district gave an interview where he said that Congress is underpaid at $174,000 a year and needs a raise because Americans need to understand that Congress is “the board of directors for the largest economic entity in the world”? Well, check out what the “board of directors” has been up to. According to watchdog groups Legistorm and CREW — Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington — a total of 297 members of Congress have earmarked $3,776,001,807 for organizations that are connected directly to them or to their family members. For just ...

Christie: I’m Ready To Be President Because I’d Do ‘Exactly What Ronald Reagan Would Have Done’

Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Sunday argued that he had the right temperament to be president because he was like conservative hero Ronald Reagan. Following his expected landslide re-election, the New Jersey governor spent his Sunday appearing on at least four news shows, fueling the speculation that he was gearing up for a presidential run in 2016. But Fox News host Chris Wallace pointed out that Christie had demonstrated a “short temper” over the course of his career. “Do you have the patience for — you call it the garbage — the parlor game of being picked apart by the other politicians, being picked apart by us in the media for two years if ...

“Maybe the folks in Washington, D.C., should tune in their TVs right now and see how it’s done,” said the big winner of Tuesday last. “I did not seek a second term to do small things,” Chris Christie went on, but “to finish the job — now watch me do it.” Humility is not the governor’s strong suit. Yet, Christie registered a remarkable victory. He won with 60 percent in a blue state, winning 55 percent of women, half of the Hispanic vote and 20 percent of African- Americans. If he could replicate those numbers in New Jersey and nationally in 2016, Chris Christie would be elected president in a landslide. “[T]his fellow is really on the ...

An aide brings a cart stacked with pizza to the office of Speaker of the House John Boehner. It's the late night fix favored by stoners and university students around the world. And now pizza can claim to be the food responsible for ending the US government shutdown and averting a global economic disaster. Senate leaders announced a bipartisan deal to reopen the US government and raise the debt ceiling overnight. But only after industrial sized quantities of pizza were wheeled in for late night negotiations. At least 20 huge boxes were delivered by a congressional aide to the office of Speaker John Boenher, along with bags stuffed full of sides. It came from local outlet Pizza ...
Emerging Right-Wing Theme: Obama Planned Shutdown With Valerie Jarrett As Trap For Republicans

Less than a month after engineering a deeply unpopular government shutdown in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to derail the Affordable Care Act, Republicans are already trying to shift the blame. Various right-wing media outlets are picking up the claim that President Barack Obama deliberately lured Republicans into a trap planned by his senior advisor Valerie Jarrett. The claim originates with author Ed Klein, who wrote a provocative and widely criticized biography of Obama called The Amateur, in addition to The Truth About Hillary, a similarly received book on the Clintons. “(Jarrett) convinced the president that a government shutdown and default offered a great opportunity to ...
