A former Marine whose wife of 54 years was killed last year in the Tucson shootings that left six dead and 13 injured, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, has strong feelings about the Arizona lawmaker and her retired astronaut husband, Mark Kelly. "Every time I see them on TV," George Morris told the Arizona Republic, "it makes me want to vomit." He said he and his wife had gone to Giffords' town-hall meeting outside the grocery store in Tucson on Jan. 8, 2011, to complain to his congresswoman, who he says kept voting for liberal causes. But before he had a chance to vent his anger, a gunman began shooting people in the crowd. Morris' wife, Dorothy, ...

First, Congress considered the National Defense Authorization Act, sections of which gave the President the authority to use the military to arrest and indefinitely detain Americans without trial or charge. The language was revised because of strong condemnation from the American people. But now a new bill has emerged that poses yet another threat to the American citizenry. Congress is considering HR 3166 and S. 1698 also known as the Enemy Expatriation Act, sponsored by Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Charles Dent (R-PA). This bill would give the US government the power to strip Americans of their citizenship without being convicted of being “hostile” against the United States. In ...

In an exclusive interview outside a Manchester polling place, Ron Paul lashed out at fellow Republicans for making unfair and ignorant attacks on Mitt Romney’s business record. “I think they’re wrong. I think they’re totally misunderstanding the way the market works,” Paul told me. “They are either just demagoguing or they don’t have the vaguest idea how the market works.” Paul also came to Romney’s defense for saying “I like to be able to fire people.” “I think they’re unfairly attacking him on that issue because he never really literally said that,” Paul said. “They’ve taken him way out of context. … ...

WASHINGTON-- When Michelle Obama worked in Mayor Daley's City Hall in the early 1990s, she was "distressed" by how a small group of "white Irish Catholic" families -- the Daleys, the Hynes and the Madigans -- "locked up" power in Illinois. And as she prepared to become first lady, Mrs. Obama naively wanted to delay a move into the White House for six months, so her daughters could finish the school year. Her initial thought was to "commute" to the White House from her South Side home. And Marty Nesbitt, one of President Obama's best friends, had been recruited to run for Chicago mayor by African-American leaders -- but never ended up ...

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) -- Wildlife officials and outfitters say it could take several years for white-tailed deer populations to recover from a devastating disease that has killed thousands of the animals across parts of eastern Montana and elsewhere in the Northern Plains. Pat Gunderson with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks said 90 percent or more of whitetail have been killed along a 100-mile stretch of the Milk River in the northeast of the state. Whitetail deaths also have been reported elsewhere in eastern Montana, across west North Dakota and at scattered sites in Wyoming, South Dakota and Kansas. They were killed by epizootic hemorrhagic disease, or EHD. Transmitted by biting ...

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, run neck-and-neck with President Obama in a general-election matchup, according to a new CBS News poll released late on Monday that shows the two front-runners in Tuesday's New Hampshire GOP primary running stronger against the president than their fellow Republicans. Romney posts a two-point lead over Obama, 47 percent to 45 percent, within the poll's margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points. He leads Obama, 45 percent to 39 percent, among independent voters.

ABC News’ Santina Leuci and Z. Byron Wolf report: Sarah Palin’s husband is endorsing Newt Gingrich for president, Todd Palin told ABC News today. But Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and John McCain’s 2008 Republican running mate, has yet to decide “who is best able to go up against Barack Obama,” Todd Palin said. Palin said he has not spoken to Gingrich or anyone from the former House speaker’s campaign. But he said he respects Gingrich for what he went through in the 1990s and compared that scrutiny in public life to what Sarah Palin went through during her run for the vice presidency. Todd Palin said he believes that being in the political ...

Paul rose to 20% from 17. 15% are undecided.Republican presidential frontrunners may come and go, beaten into submission by the mainstream media spotlight or Romney Super Pac ad spots, but the two intense political factions – smaller government constitutionalists and foreign policy non-interventionists - that make up Ron Paul’s ...

WASHINGTON — Tony Blankley, a conservative author and commentator who served as press secretary to Newt Gingrich during the 1990s, when Republicans took control of Congress, has died. He was 63. Blankley, who had been suffering from stomach cancer, died Saturday night at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, his wife, Lynda Davis, said Sunday.

Earlier, Blankley spent six years in the Reagan administration ...

The U.S. Army says it has launched an investigation into the disappearance of "sensitive" equipment at a military base near Fort Lewis, Washington. The military has not said exactly what that "sensitive" equipment that has been stolen from Joint Base Lewis-McChord is. A 100-member infantry company has been put on lock down at the joint Army and Air Force base while the investigation is conducted, reports The Associated Press. The disappearance of equipment "sensitive" enough to lock down an entire company is alarming, and is even more concerning at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, which has had more than its share of trouble in recent years. It has been called ...

Ron Paul's Florida flier, 6-page newsletter blasts GOP "counterfeits," Obama Ron Paul looks like the only other Republican candidate who's joining Mitt Romney in going after Florida's early voters. So far, about 450,000 absentee ballots have been mailed to Florida Republicans. Romney has hit some of them up twice. But it looks like he's not hitting everyone. This Paul mailer was received by a pattern Republican primary voter from Miami who has so far received mail from no one else. Some question the financial wisdom of so-called chase mail to move voters who cast absentee ballots. Do these flyers move voters to mail their ballots in quickly based on the last ...

Reporting from Concord, N.H.— In the most contentious debate of the GOP presidential campaign, Mitt Romney got a long-anticipated pummeling from his Republican rivals Sunday morning, just two days ahead of the New Hampshire primary. The Republican front-runner had floated above the fray less than 12 hours earlier, in an another network debate. But when he joined the rest of the GOP contenders on NBC’s “Meet the Press” for a rare morning confrontation, he found himself on the receiving end of a fusillade of attacks -- for his shape-shifting on issues, his political ambitions and his record as governor of next-door Massachusetts. “Can we drop a little bit of the ...

Have you seen this video? Turns out the Jon Huntsman smear ad, was made by Jon Huntsman's staff. They tried to make it look like it was made by Ron Paul's team, but there are numerous reasons why we can show it wasn't Paul's team!

How To Win Power by Selling Out Your Own Union Members By Clarice Feldman From an historian's point of view, one could do worse than studying the United Mine Workers of America. It is a microcosm of the American Labor Movement. It is a startling picture of the role of individuals in the making of American history. It is the story of how a once powerful institution's leaders repeatedly sold out its members as the nation drifted from large scale industrial production of power and goods to being a producer of private and public services . Finally, not least, it is a story of breathtaking betrayal of working men by a man who used them as a stepping stone to greater personal power and ...

MANCHESTER, N.H. – The battle among Mitt Romney’s competitors took center stage Saturday night, as the candidates toggled between swiping at the race’s frontrunner and launching personal attacks on one another at a critical New Hampshire debate. Three days before the first-in-the-nation primary, the debate and its tone reflected the state of the polls. Romney is leading by a wide margin, and four other candidates appear to be in contention at least for second position. Those candidates clashed frequently at Saturday’s debate – and most of those clashes involved Ron Paul, who is closest to Romney in the polls and wasn’t shy about reminding the crowd. ...

CONWAY, Mass | Fri Jan 6, 2012 6:13pm EST (Reuters) - Unusually mild winter weather is spoiling the fun for hockey players, skaters and ice fisherman across the Northeast and Midwest as officials warn of uncommonly thin ice. Fish and game officials in several northeastern states have issued advisories in recent days, saying ice conditions were unsafe on lakes where ice typically reaches 10 inches thick. In Minnesota, officials warned ice was unreliable in the southern part of the state, where temperatures topped 60 degrees for the first time on record in the first week of January. With no ice yet recorded on Lake Erie, organizers of Buffalo's public hockey tournament of 1,000 ...

The results of Tuesday’s Iowa GOP caucuses show the former Massachusetts governor besting former senator Rick Santorum by eight votes, 30,015 to 30,007. But those figures were thrown into doubt late Thursday after a man who helped tabulate the caucus results in Appanoose County 100 miles southeast of Des Moines said he believes a typo led Romney’s vote total to be inflated by 20 votes. Reports KCCI-TV from Des Moines: Edward True, 28, of Moulton, said he helped count the votes and jotted the results down on a piece of paper to post to his Facebook page. He said when he checked to make sure the Republican Party of Iowa got the count right, he said he was shocked to find they ...

Men can be rape victims, new gov't policy says (AP) WASHINGTON - The government is expanding its definition of rape, including men for the first time when counting the number of victims, the Obama administration announced Friday. The expansion, which supporters say is long overdue, is important because policymakers and lawmakers use crime statistics to allocate resources for prevention and victim assistance. In a press briefing, senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett called the change a "very, very important step" because it counts men and because it includes rapes of women other than by physical force. Since 1929, the FBI has defined rape as the carnal knowledge of a ...

How to Get Washington out of Health Care By Steven Goldfien MD The experience of the last fifty years proves that the United States government cannot solve the problem of how to provide high-quality healthcare to all its citizens at a price the country can afford -- at least not without rationing, lowering the quality of care, and destroying the medical profession as a profession. Only the ingenuity of the private sector can create the healthcare system the public desires, but this can't happen until the federal government's iron grip on healthcare is broken. Until passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, aka ObamaCare), the rationale for almost five ...
