When Asked How Old the Earth Is, Rand Paul Shrugs

A couple days ago, Randy spoke at an organization called Christian Homeschool Educators of Kentucky (CHEK), which is dedicated to, “Protect children from mental physical, emotional, and sexual abuse by secular humanists in a socialist society or governmental system.”(via Barefoot and Progressive). Then he made the mistake of taking questions. QUESTION: Was there a point in life where you became a Christian [...] and also, how old is the world? PAUL: I forgot to say I was only taking easy questions (crowd laughs). [...] I’m gonna have to pass on the age of the earth. I think I’m just gonna have to pass on that one. Uh, really?

Nevada Tea Party Candidate Angle: No Abortion for Victims of Rape Or Incest

Nevada Tea Party candidate Sharron Angle, a former member of the completely insane Constitution Party who has written about the dangers of fluoridation (shades of the John Birch Society), is dodging the media. And she has good reason to dodge. Her history is rife with extremism, questionable associations, and bizarre views. But unfortunately for Angle, in the Internet age it’s getting pretty difficult to hide this kind of craziness, and Sam Stein at the Huffington Post has posted an audio clip of just one of Angle’s extreme statements: Sharron Angle Opposes Abortion Even With Rape, Incest: ‘God Has A Plan’. Manders: I, too, am pro life but I’m also pro choice, do ...

TURLOCK -- Sarah Palin on Friday was the darling of a $500-a-plate dinner at California State University, Stanislaus. But outside the gala, a crowd of protesters memorialized her as "Bush in Lipstick," a "Liar, Quitter, Master Manipulator" and "Sinister Sarah." "We'd rather have Tina Fey," read another sign referring to Palin's Saturday Night Live impersonator. About 100 protesters with signs, banners and bullhorns snaked from a nearby park through campus, with news vans and clusters of reporters following closely. "What's for dinner?" came a voice over a bullhorn, "Polar bear!" "Racist, sexist, anti-gay, Sarah ...

A little-noticed comment in a New York Times interview with Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni has critics arguing that it shows the media has a "double standard" when it comes to terrorism.In an interview published Tuesday, Livni, the leader of Israel's centrist Kadima party, boasted that her parents, both members of the Zionist militant group Irgun in the 1940s, were the first couple to be married in the newly-formed state of Israel."Both of them were in the Irgun," Livni said. "They were freedom fighters, and they met while boarding a British train. When the British Mandate was here, they robbed a train to get the money in order to buy weapons."To ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a campaign season of anti-establishment ferment, some of the Republican Party's best-known insiders are building an ambitious fundraising machine for the fall elections and beyond. They started with a bang in April, cashing a $1 million check from a Texas oil magnate. After a quiet May, friends and foes are watching to see if the new organization's core group, American Crossroads, can reach its goal of raising $52 million by November. Karl Rove, who was President George W. Bush's top political strategist, and Ed Gillespie, a former Republican Party chairman and White House aide, modeled their network on successful operations created by Democrats ...

Reporter/blogger Dave Weigel has resigned from the Washington Post following the leak of controversial, off-the-record emails he sent to a group of journalists. Weigel, who covered the conservative beat for the Washington Post, said in an e-mail to the liberal JournoList group that "this would be a vastly better world to live in if Matt Drudge decided to handle his emotional problems more responsibly, and set himself on fire." Weigel apologized to his readers (and to Drudge), but now FishbowlDC has confirmed that Weigel resigned from the newspaper Friday morning.

John McCain's Republican primary challenger said he regrets taping an infomercial on behalf of a company accused of taking advantage of consumers. "I should not have made the ad. It was a mistake," J.D. Hayworth said in a statement released late Thursday. The former congressman and talk-radio host said he didn't completely check out National Grants Conferences before agreeing to serve as its pitchman. In the informercial, Hayworth urges viewers to attend a free seminar to learn how to get free government money. Critics say the company used high-pressure sales tactics to persuade people to pay for information that is free online or at a library. "I hope voters ...

Prescott S. Bush Jr., the brother of one president and uncle of another, and a retired insurance executive who tried but never made it far in the family business — politics — died Wednesday after a long illness. He was 87. Mr. Bush’s death was confirmed by Tracey Bergonzi, a spokeswoman at Keohane Funeral Home in Hingham, Mass., a town where Mr. Bush had lived for several years. The cause of death was unclear. Besides being the uncle of one president, George W. Bush, and elder brother of another, George Bush, he was the son of a wealthy senator, Prescott S. Bush.

Nevada Democrats Seize on Birther Controversy to Attack Tea Party Darling

Nevada Democrats have seized on the widely debunked conspiracy theory that President Obama was not born in the U.S. to attack Tea Party darling Sharron Angle, the Republican running against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The Nevada Democratic Party, seeking to brand Angle's views as too extreme, points to her campaign website touting the endorsement of the Declaration Alliance, a group that believes Obama wasn't born in the U.S. and therefore is constitutionally ineligible to serve as president despite confirmation from the Hawaiian government that he was born there. On its website, Declaration Alliance declares that it supports Angle and expresses "reasonable doubt" ...

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Republican National Committee is assembling its biggest donors at a Napa Valley resort this week for golf, wine tasting and cigar smoking and speeches from former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and other party stars. An invitation says couples are being asked to contribute up to $60,800 to attend the three-day event that begins Thursday with a kickoff dinner featuring former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. The event gives the party a chance to pamper its most generous givers, whose check-writing is crucial for the GOP to meet its fundraising goals for the 2010 elections.

"Tea party" leader Dick Armey sharply criticized President Obama’s approach to dealing with the massive oil spill in the Gulf Wednesday. At a Monitor-sponsored lunch with reporters in Washington, Mr. Armey, co-chairman of FreedomWorks, said, “The Constitution does not envision the president of the United States saying that 'I will decide what compensations, what redress will be elicited from a British-owned company.' There are courts for this purpose. My own view is that the Constitution is far ahead of the game compared to where this president is with his current fulminations about what he will decide about whose butt to kick.” Armey served as House ...

Texas Representative and Libertarian-minded Republican Ron Paul remains undecided on whether he will seek the presidency again in 2012, but believes that Republican voters will be more receptive to Libertarian and Tea Party-leaning candidates this time around. “And I think things have shifted because of the financial crisis as well as the bogging down of our foreign policy,” Dr. Paul said in an interview with the Daily Caller. “So the American people are looking for some different answers.” Paul went on to say that although GOP voters will probably be more open to a small government Republican in 2012, he is “not on the verge of making a decision” on whether ...

Mark Levin Attacks 'Phony, Populist Idiot' O'Reilly Over BP Fund

Twice last week, Bill O'Reilly booked conservative Republican stars on his show -- Sarah Palin and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) -- and came at them from the unexpected stance of defending President Obama. With Palin, he defended Obama's handling of the BP spill. With Bachmann, he disagreed with her criticism of how the BP escrow fund was set-up. All of that sparked an outraged rant from radio host Mark Levin, which the Right Scoop has captured and put online. In it, Levin makes the case that a lot of conservatives who don't have to worry about re-election are making -- that, yes, the president "shook down" BP, and that O'Reilly is a "phony, populist ...

When asked yesterday on ABC’s This Week about Rep. Joe Barton’s (R-TX) accusation that the White House engaged in a “shakedown” of BP, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel noted the remark was “not a political gaffe,” but rather a statement based on “prepared remarks.” He linked Barton’s comments to the GOP’s “larger philosophy,” saying it “is an approach to what they see. They see the aggrieved party here is BP, not the fisherman. And remember, this is not just one person.” Conservative pundit Sarah Palin quickly blasted Emanuel’s comments on Twitter, calling them “shallow” and ...

Via Talking Points Memo, Rand Paul — son of Rep.

Barbour Backtracks On Opposition To BP Escrow Account: ‘I think the President was smart.’

Last week, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour (R) complained about a proposed escrow account that BP will fund in order to pay out claims resulting from its oil spill. Barbour claimed that it would cause BP to lose profits. “[I]t bothers me to talk about causing an escrow to be made,” he said, adding, “which makes it less likely that they’ll make the income that they need to pay us.” But yesterday on NBC’s Meet the Press, when host David Gregory asked Barbour why he opposed the account now that the oil giant has agreed to pay into it, Barbour changed his mind: BARBOUR: Right, well, I thought that they were talking about taking $20 billion from BP all at once and ...

Amid all the fuss over surprise Democratic Senate nominee Alvin Greene in South Carolina, a less-noticed but even more colorful uproar is brewing over certain Tea Party candidates in Florida who may not be quite what they appear -- including one who could draw votes away from the Republican challenger to Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson. According to Adam Weinstein at Mother Jones, Florida GOP Chairman John Thrasher is claiming that "lefties have pulled an 'Alvin Greene' in the Sunshine State." Weinstein points to an article in the St. Petersburg Times, titled "The Florida tea party conspiracy," which notes that out of the dozen or more tea party candidates ...
