TX GOP Official Opposes Jewish House Speaker: Christians ‘Are The People That Do The Best Jobs’
Post Date: 2010-12-07 00:12:59 by Brian S
24 Comments
Last month, several Tea Party activists formed a right-wing coalition to oust Rep. Joe Straus (R) as Texas House Speaker. They began circulating emails with anti-Semitic messages against Straus, who is Jewish. The groups ran robo-calls and sent out e-mails demanding a “true Christian leader,” and calling Straus’ opponent, Rep. Ken Paxton (R), “a Christian Conservative who decided not to be pushed around by the Joe Straus thugs.” Last week, the Texas Observer’s Abby Rapoport reported that she had obtained an email exchange between two members of the Texas State Republican Executive Committee (SREC) — Rebecca Williamson and John Cook. “We elected a ...

Tea Party Group Wants Palin For RNC

Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips sent a letter to former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin asking her to run for chairwoman of the Republican National Committee. "In order for the tea party, conservative movement to be successful, we have to have someone conservative running the GOP," Phillips told POLITICO. "She is the perfect candidate. If she does not try, I am afraid we will end up with just another establishment flunky running the party and the [Republicans in name] will control the party again." "She has a track record of cutting wasteful spending, which has occurred under the watch of Michael Steele," he added. "Finally, she is simply a rock ...

Menendez Compares Republicans to 'Terrorists' for Holding Tax Cut Bill 'Hostage'
Post Date: 2010-12-06 15:50:49 by Brian S

The war of words over the Bush tax cuts heated up Friday, as Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez compared Republicans to "terrorists" for holding middle-class tax cuts "hostage." The New Jersey senator unleashed on Republicans in the course of a press conference where lawmakers were previewing a pair of votes set for this Saturday on whether to extend some, but not all, of the Bush tax cuts. Republicans who want all the cuts extended, including those for the wealthy, have described these votes as "meaningless" and refuse to support the bills. Menendez accused the GOP of holding tax cuts for the middle class hostage in order to win tax cuts for the rich. ...

Graham: GOP 'Made Some Pretty Poor Choices' For Senate Candidates This Fall

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said that Republicans "made some pretty poor choices" in choosing their Senate candidates this fall. Graham, in a Senate floor speech on Saturday, made an aside comment underscoring the frustration the GOP faced after some Tea Party-aligned nominees fell short in their campaigns. "The House had a dramatic election. We picked up seats in the Senate," Graham said, video of which is posted by C-SPAN. "Some of us thought, maybe we could pick up two or three more, but we made some pretty poor choices when it came to candidates." The South Carolina Republican made the comment as an aside to remarks about the consequences facing ...

TEA Party Says Only Property Owners Should Have Right To Vote
Post Date: 2010-12-05 18:31:55 by Brian S
20 Comments
If the motives of the TEA Party weren’t known by now, after this weekend it should be even more obvious that they really do want to take this country back… back to the 18th century! Getting out the vote is the enemy of the TEA Party. The President of the TEA Party Nation made the case this weekend that voting rights should only apply to property owners, because only they have a “vested stake in the community.” This is the most ridiculous thing and form of classism I have ever heard. If you are poor and live in an apartment, you have no stake in the community? You don’t care about local school board, taxes, propositions, politicians, and pro-war candidates? Of ...

Ron Paul: ‘What We Need Is More WikiLeaks’

Popular Texas Republican Congressman Ron Paul is no stranger to breaking with his party, but in a recent television appearance the libertarian-leaning Rep. went even further than any member of Congress in defending whistleblower website WikiLeaks. Speaking to Fox Business host Judge Napolitano on Thursday about recent revelations at the Federal Reserve, Paul's typical candor showed through. "What we need is more WikiLeaks about the Federal Reserve," he said. "Can you imagine what it'd be like if we had every conversation in the last 10 years with our Federal Reserve people, the Federal Reserve chairman, with all the central bankers of the world and every agreement ...

WASHINGTON (JTA) -- The U.S. House of Representatives unanimously approved a resolution urging care for elderly Holocaust survivors. The nonbinding resolution passed 407-0 on Wednesday "urges the Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services, in conjunction with the Administration on Aging (AoA), to provide Holocaust survivors with needed social services through existing programs; and encourages the Administration on Aging to expeditiously develop and implement programs that ensure Holocaust survivors are able to age in place in their communities and avoid institutionalization during their remaining years."

Before Bankruptcy, Conservatives Touted Ireland As Model For U.S.

During the 2008 Presidential campaign, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) praised the Irish economy for its low corporate tax rate and said that if the U.S. would just follow suit, companies would “be able to create jobs, increase your business, make more investment.” And McCain was far from the only conservative making the “Celtic Tiger” argument that Ireland’s low tax rates were a shining, successful model of conservatism in action. Some examples: – Dan Mitchell (then of the Heritage Foundation, now at The Cato Institute), July 2002: Ireland already has shown that tax cuts are a recipe for prosperity. Thanks to Reagan-style tax-rate reductions, including a corporate ...

Former Bush Official Nicolle Wallace: Sarah Palin 'Very Prickly, Very Cynical'

Former Bush communications adviser Nicolle Wallace took to MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Wednesday, the home of recently announced Sarah Palin pessimist Joe Scarborough, and argued that the worry about the former Alaska governor's 2012 ambitions were unfounded. The GOP's supposed "President Palin" dilemma would work itself out, she said. Still, Wallace said that Palin displays "incredible cynicism" and is "very prickly." "I believe that if she were on the cusp of becoming the nominee for the Republican party a whole lot of people... would talk about some of her more troubling deficiencies," Wallace said.

Sarah Palin's political action committee paid $10,000 in October to a consulting firm that also works for George Soros, the billionaire philanthropist who is a left-wing bogeyman to many of Palin's supporters. Salon first reported earlier this month that Palin foreign policy advisor Randy Scheunemann has for many years done lobbying work for Soros' Open Society Policy Center. Scheunemann's firm, Orion Strategies, received the $10,000 payment from Sarah PAC on Oct. 28 for "issue consulting," according to a new campaign finance filing.

Tea Party Leader: Restricting Vote To Property Owners ‘Makes A Lot Of Sense’

Tea Party Nation President Judson Phillips said denying the right to vote to those who do not own property "makes a lot of sense" during a weekly radio program. "The Founding Fathers originally said, they put certain restrictions on who gets the right to vote," Phillips said. "It wasn't you were just a citizen and you got to vote." "Some of the restrictions, you know, you obviously would not think about today," he continued. "But one of those was you had to be a property owner. And that makes a lot of sense, because if you’re a property owner you actually have a vested stake in the community." "If you're not a property ...

Reacting to Raw Story exclusive, Horton tells Fox that Americans 'oughtta be really upset' By declaring they'd wage a war against Iran by themselves, the nation of Israel is effectively "blackmailing" the United States into combat operations, according to a radio host who appeared on Fox Business Monday night.

Powerful Republican Suggests To Colleagues He’d Shoot At Obama

The former chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee may have just destroyed his chances to lead that committee again -- if close attention is paid to a slideshow he's circulating to his Republican colleagues. Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX), who's vying for the Committee chairmanship with Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI), is the most senior member of the committee. But because of self-imposed term limits, he'll need a special dispensation from House leaders to regain his gavel. The Washington Post's Al Kamen revealed late Monday that Barton was circulating a slideshow in which he promises to declare war on the Obama Administration if he's reinstated as chair. "If the Obama ...

Sarah Palin is demeaning the legacy of GOP presidents and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough wants Republicans to "man up" and put a stop to it. "Republicans have a problem," wrote Scarborough in a column for Politico. "The most-talked-about figure in the GOP is a reality show star who cannot be elected. And yet the same leaders who fret that Sarah Palin could devastate their party in 2012 are too scared to say in public what they all complain about in private." "Enough. It’s time for the GOP to man up." "Everybody knows that Palin is a busy woman. The former half-term governor of Alaska stays so busy these days that one wonders how this mother ...

GOP Sen. Mark Kirk: Extending Jobless Benefits ‘Misguided,’ But Tax Cuts For The Rich Necessary

Republican Mark Kirk, hours away from being sworn in as a US senator, said Monday that efforts to extend jobless benefits are misguided but argued it is imperative to extend Bush's tax cuts for wealthy Americans. On MSNBC's Morning Joe Monday, Kirk said current proposals to extend unemployment benefits "take us into the direction of Greece and Ireland that are now imploding as economies." "We see overseas what happens when governments spend money they don't have," he added. "Proposals to extend unemployment insurance by just adding it to the deficit are misguided." The temporary extension of unemployment benefits are set to expire November 30th and ...

San Diego’s largest Tea Party, Southern California Tax Revolt Coalition (SCTRC) went on the record and said they would break with the Tea Party Nation and will not tackle social issues like abortion, immigration and gay marriage. The Fox News channel guest Judson Philips, founder of Tea Party Nation, a for-profit social network and convention organizer, who announced to his membership that the Tea Party movement needs to abandon its “fiscal conservative-only” identity and pick a side on social issues. The SCTRC (also home of the San Diego Tea Party Patriots), strongly disagrees with Philip’s new strategy. “The co-founders of the SCTRC wish to go on the record that ...

A former US senator and ambassador to the UN under President George W. Bush says the increasingly radical and uncompromising tone of the GOP is a sign the party is now "beyond redemption." John C. Danforth made the comment while discussing a possible tea party challenge to Republican Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, a long-serving moderate whose stances against some major GOP positions have reportedly made him the target of Republican ideologues. “If Dick Lugar, having served five terms in the US Senate and being the most respected person in the Senate and the leading authority on foreign policy, is seriously challenged by anybody in the Republican Party, we have gone so far ...

Wyoming Republican Alan Simpson has a pretty low opinion of the people that have paid into Social Security all their lives and now need something back. The co-chair of President Barack Obama's bipartisan deficit commission lashed out at seniors Wednesday because they are unhappy with his ideas for reducing the deficit by cutting Social Security benefits while reducing corporate taxes. "I've never had any nastier mail or [been in a] more difficult position in my life," Simpson told Jeremy Pelzer at the Casper Star-Tribune. "Just vicious.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) denounced the Bush family as "blue bloods" in an interview posted Wednesday and remarked that a mentality like theirs helped to cause the economic downturn. Her comment came in response to a statement made by former first lady Barbara Bush during an interview with CNN's Larry King earlier this week. Asked for her take on Palin, Bush told King: "I think she's very happy in Alaska, and I hope she'll stay there." Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham followed up with Palin, asking if she thought Bush's comment had been planned ahead of time. Palin had this to say: "I don't want to sort of concede that we have to ...

Dems To GOP: Don’t Like Government Health Care? Then Drop Yours

Congressional Democratic and liberal groups are issuing a simple ultimatum to their Republican colleagues: If you dislike government-run health insurance so much, prove it and decline the coverage provided to you. "Put up or sit down," said Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY) to Republicans, who promise to repeal the sweeping health care law enacted in March. The congressman has introduced a bill to repeal the measure's most popular components, such as the ban on denying coverage for pre-existing illnesses. "This will be the big chance for Republicans to do what they've vowed to do," Ackerman said, according to Mike Lillis of The Hill. "These bills will be their ...

U.S. Intelligence Thwarted Attack on Iran

Why should George W. Bush have been "angry" to learn in late 2007 of the "high-confidence" unanimous judgment of all 16 U.S. intelligence agencies that Iran had stopped working on a nuclear weapon four years earlier? Seems to me he might have said "Hot Dog!" rather than curse under his breath.Nowhere in his memoir, Decision Points, is Bush's bizarre relationship with truth so manifest as when he describes his dismay at learning that the intelligence community had redeemed itself for its lies about Iraq by preparing an honest National Intelligence Estimate on Iran.  As the Bush-book makes abundantly clear, that NIE rammed an iron rod through ...

 The skeptics told us that this would never happen – and we were not too sure ourselves.Last year, members of the Chicago-area Committee for a Just Peace in Israel and Palestine (CJPIP) began developing a new public education campaign. After a decade of creating successful events, we were concerned that our audiences were largely made up of people who already understood the situation on the ground in Israel/Palestine and the role of U.S. policy in the conflict.How, we asked ourselves, could we spend less time “preaching to the choir” and more time reaching fellow-Chicagoans who don’t have access to information about the U.S. role in perpetuating the conflict? ...

Reporting from Washington — If his son won't be on the ballot, former President George H. W. Bush says he could support Mitt Romney for his party's nomination for president in 2012. As for Barbara Bush -- put her in the "Anybody but Palin" camp. The 41st president claims he's long quit politics, but he did offer his thoughts on a range of subjects during an interview with Larry King, the suspender-clad host who is retiring after a quarter of a century on CNN. So did his wife, who was characteristically blunt when asked what she thought of Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor who now dominates the conversation about the Republican presidential race.
