Brouhaha In Texas House A Jewish Test Case For Tea Party
Post Date: 2010-12-21 15:29:10 by Brian S
0 Comments
WASHINGTON (JTA) -- In Texas, the Tea Party passed its first Jewish test even before its legislators had been sworn in. Deeply conservative forces in the Lone Star State firmly repudiated the effort by evangelical Christians to unseat the powerful Jewish speaker of the Texas House of Representatives because he wasn’t a “true Christian conservative.” Speaker Joe Straus still faces opposition from his right flank because of his relatively moderate views, but his opponents have made clear that Straus’ Judaism is not a factor in the Jan. 11 race to be speaker. “There is absolutely no place for religious bigotry in the race for Texas speaker, and I categorically ...

Conservatives Outraged as Obama Secures Enough Votes to Ratify START
Post Date: 2010-12-21 13:41:31 by Brian S

WASHINGTON -- Republicans senators expressed outrage Tuesday as President Obama secured enough votes for Senate ratification of a major arms control treaty with Russia. At least nine Republicans publicly announced their support for the accord, including Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander, the No. 3 Republican in the Senate, putting it on a virtual glidepath to ratification by Wednesday night. The Constitution requires two-thirds of those voting in the Senate to ratify the pact. Democrats needed at least nine Republican votes. At a GOP news conference, Republicans who oppose the treaty warned of the consequences. "Well this is a joke," said Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., adding that ...

Tea Party Nation's Judson Phillips Wants To See Methodist Church Disbanded

Judson Phillips, founder of Tea Party Nation, one of the country's most prominent tea party organizations, really seems to despise the Methodist Church, or as he would call it, "the first Church of Karl Marx." In a recent blog post (subscription required) the founder of Tea Party Nation recounts his recent experience visiting the United Methodist Building in Washington D.C., where he saw a promotional banner for the DREAM Act, a failed piece of legislation that would have provided a path to citizenship for some undocumented immigrants who entered the country as children. Such a stance could only mean one thing, Phillips concluded. "The Methodist church is pro-illegal ...

The new Congress hasn't been seated yet but signs of a rift are already beginning to emerge between Republican leaders and Tea Party groups who were a driving force propelling many unknown candidates to victory last month. From the tax cuts extension bill to the food safety legislation to Republican selections for key House committee leadership posts, Tea Party leaders have expressed outrage at what they perceive is a continuation of the same old Washington-style politics. "In addition to the 'backroom deal' tax compromise, last week, through their appointments to chairmanships of the Energy and Commerce and the Appropriations committees, they [House Republican leaders] ...

Little Hope For Palin 2012 Candidacy, Poll Finds

The nation's most popular Republican, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, has very little chance of defeating President Obama in 2012 according to a recently released ABC News/Washington Post poll. The one-time McCain running mate trailed the president substantially on all fronts, according to the poll data. Six in 10 Americans, they found, outright reject the notion of ever voting for her. The only similarities in how both politicians stacked up, ABC noted, were in the number of survey respondents who said they'd consider supporting one or the other. In the column registering those who would "definitely" support either candidate, Obama came out ahead 26 percent to 8 ...

Durbin: The $1.1 Trillion Omnibus Spending Bill Is ‘Exactly The Number’ McConnell Asked For

Senate Republicans have spent the last few days acting shocked and outraged over this year’s omnibus spending bill, which would fund the government through next Sept. 30. Republicans are threatening to derail the lame duck session and shutdown the government over the “disrespectful” measure. Leading the Republicans’ reckless campaign over the omnibus spending bill, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) took to the Senate floor this morning to publicly denounce the 2,000 page bill. Aghast over its physical enormity, McConnell parroted the GOP talking points on the bill: it was dropped in the dead of night, it “runs just under 2,000 pages,” and “it ...

When The Tea Party Wave Crashes Into D.C. Wall

When last we checked in with the Tea Party movement, it had claimed victories throughout the nation in the midterm elections and served notice on Republicans and Democrats alike that things in Washington were going to change. No more earmarks. No more secret negotiations. No more deficit spending. No more lobbyists running Congress. So where are we now? Dana Milbank of the Washington Post reports on the education of Tea Party darling Kristi Noem: “When the good people of South Dakota voted last month to send Republican Kristi Noem to Congress, they probably believed that she would give no quarter to the lobbyists and special interest groups who enjoyed, as she put it, “throwing ...

WikiLeaks Stirs Anarchy Online

Washington (CNN) -- WikiLeaks' avalanche of U.S. State Department cables had just hit the internet when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton boarded a plane for a meeting of European countries in Kazakhstan. Descending the stairs from her plane in the biting Central Asian cold, she was braced for what wasn't officially on the agenda: apologizing to some of the 52 leaders she was about to see who were the targets of highly embarrassing comments by U.S. diplomats contained in those cables. Cables by a U.S. Embassy official described the meeting's host, Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, the man whose hand she was about to shake, as having a lavish lifestyle, his prime minister ...

Pro-Israel activists launch all-out war against Helen Thomas and American Arabs It is all out war between Jews and Arabs. Make no mistake about it. American Jewish organizations have launched a vicious campaign to silence Helen Thomas, the 91 year old, 80 pound champion of Palestinian and Arab rights who fearlessly has chosen to take on one of the most powerful organizations in America. Thomas has criticized and denounced Zionism, a political movement with headquarters in new York City. The purpose of the organization is to champion the interests of a foreign country, Israel. She first made her remarks when ambushed by a rabbi with a checkered racist past who demeaned and ridiculed Mexicans ...

Why Is Free Republic's Jim Robinson Attacking Conservative Bloggers?

I hate it when conservatives attack each other, I have to say. The latest example of suicidal intra-conservative attacks is coming from Jim Robinson, the owner of the famed righty message board Free Republic. Sadly, Mr. Robinson has launched a campaign to harass and ultimately ban from his board all right leaning bloggers that try to post their items there. Over the last three months or so what many Freepers thought was a self appointed band of FR-police began appearing and attacking posts by bloggers. Several screen names have been used to attempt to harass bloggers into quitting the board. The campaign has been successful in several circumstances, driving some bloggers to quit the ...

Regulators Exist To ‘Serve The Banks,’ Next House Finance Chairman Declares

Alabama Republican Spencer Bachus, the incoming chairman of the House banking committee, suggested Congress and federal regulators should play a subservient role with banks. "In Washington, the view is that the banks are to be regulated, and my view is that Washington and the regulators are there to serve the banks," Bachus told The Birmingham News in an interview. The Republican leadership last week designated Bachus the next chairman of the powerful House Financial Services Committee, which is tasked with overseeing banks, financial markets, housing and consumer credit. Democrats characterized the remark as a Freudian slip, nicknaming the Alabaman "Big Bank Bachus" ...

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele to Seek Second Term

Dec. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said he will seek a second term, shrugging off criticism that he lacks enough support to win. “Our work is not done, and my commitment has not ended,” Steele said in a statement e-mailed to committee members after a private conference call last night during which he announced his decision. Steele’s re-election bid sets up a battle over who will steer the party’s efforts in the 2012 presidential campaign. His term expires in January, when the committee will vote on the next chairman. Several other contenders have announced they are running to lead the party amid criticism that Steele, a ...

WASHINGTON — As virtually all of Washington was declaring WikiLeaks’s disclosures of secret diplomatic cables an act of treason, Representative Ron Paul was applauding the organization for exposing the United States’ “delusional foreign policy.” For this, the conservative blog RedState dubbed him “Al Qaeda’s favorite member of Congress.” It was hardly the first time that Mr. Paul had marched to his own beat. During his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008, he was best remembered for declaring in a debate that the 9/11 attacks were the Muslim world’s response to American military intervention around the globe.

Kissinger argued for indifference toward slaughter of Soviet Jews -- and Nixon agreed Saturday, December 11th, 2010 President Richard Nixon was, to put it bluntly, an avowed racist, according to audio recordings released recently by his presidential library. Nixon, talking with top aides in secret in the Oval Office, went into further details about his beliefs on Jews, blacks, Italian-Americans, and Irish-Americans. Nixon denied in a Feb. 13, 1973, recording with his senior advisor that he was prejudiced; however, he said, “I’ve just recognized that, you know, all people have certain traits.” The Irish, Nixon said, for example, "can't drink" and "get ...

NO PRESIDENT has ever been elected because the electorate found him unpresidential. Movie stars do not earn their huge salaries by looking ordinary. So perhaps it should not be surprising that Jack Kingston this week lost his bid to chair the powerful House Appropriations Committee. Mr Kingston, a nine-term Republican from Savannah has been described approvingly by Mark Meckler, a spokesman for Tea Party Patriots, an umbrella group for anti-tax “tea-party” organisations, as “not an appropriator”. What Mr Meckler meant was that Mr Kingston impressed him as someone who would trim the budget rather than use his position to dole out pork. What Mr Kingston’s loss showed ...

WikiLeaks 'Struck A Deal With Israel' Over Diplomatic Cables Leaks

We should obviously all support WikiLeaks and its founder and spokesperson, Julian Assange, who has just been arrested in Britain, in this dirty war by states around the globe against transparency and openness. But in the world of politics, sadly, things are never as innocent as they appear. According to new revelations, Assange had allegedly struck a deal with Israel before the recent 'cable gate', which may explain why the leaks “were good for Israel,” as the Israeli prime minister put it.A number of commentators, particularly in Turkey and Russia, have been wondering why the hundreds of thousands of American classified documents leaked by the website last month did not ...

It’s friendly fire time at the GOP corral.For anyone who thought the Republican establishment/tea party battles were over, think again. If 2010 was a headache for the National Republican Senatorial Committee in helping its favored recruits while placating tea party activists, 2012 could be an outright migraine: Hard-hitting primaries targeting top prospects and incumbents could be the norm.  Of the 10 GOP senators up for reelection in 2012, six of them face the likelihood of a credible primary challenge—and we’re barely out of the midterms.  The primaries could crimp GOP hopes of taking control of the Senate. Senate Republican strategists privately blame untested ...

The US Senate's most liberal and most conservative member have both come out strongly against the bipartisan compromise on tax cuts between President Barack Obama and Republicans. Self-avowed democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Tuesday evening promised he will "do whatever it takes" to prevent passage of the measure, objecting to its temporary two-year extension of tax cuts for the highest income earners, a centerpiece of the Republican agenda. A fierce opponent of the high-end tax breaks, Sanders appeared on television Tuesday blasting the deal as a "moral outrage." He depicted it a Republican ploy to hold the middle class "hostage" to the ...

Arizona Politicians Cut Off Funds for Life-Saving Transplants While Cheering Afghanistan War Spending

Arizona's Republican-led state government just decided to cut their state budget by slashing their state's Medicaid coverage for organ transplants, even though Arizona has plenty of money to fund these life-saving medical procedures. That's right--Arizona has plenty of money to fund these life-saving procedures, despite what the politicians in the state claim. They just have warped priorities. We know this because the state's politicians have been outspoken supporters of the costly, useless Afghanistan War that costs Arizona taxpayers many hundred times what these transplant procedures cost the state. Taxpayers in State of Arizona will pay $1.6 billion for proposed ...

US May Investigate Media Outlets For Reporting On WikiLeaks, Sen. Lieberman Tells Fox News

Can the US government prosecute media outlets that reported on the WikiLeaks cables? According to Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), the answer is maybe. Following the release of thousands of documents by government watchdog WikiLeaks, Lieberman told the The New York Times that he wanted to use "all legal means" against the website. Appearing on Fox News Tuesday afternoon, Lieberman added that the US Constitution's protection of free speech may not be enough to keep media outlets out of harm's way if they dedicated coverage to the WikiLeaks disclosures. "Julian Assange has written an editorial that points out or characterizes his organization as an underdog in the media ...

Robert Dreyfuss | December 2, 2010 Even talking about bombing Iran is a bad idea. If the United States were to ratchet up military threats—and, worse, make actual war preparations in the Persian Gulf—a cascading series of bad consequences would likely result. Iran might suspend talks entirely, withdraw from the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, kick out inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency and hide its nuclear program. Many supporters of Iran's opposition Green Movement, as well as reformists and the rebellious business class, would find it much harder to oppose Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and President Ahmadinejad. Russia and China, which have ...
