Revealed: GOP Senator Who Railed Against Healthcare And Earmarks Got $960,000 Healthcare Earmark
Post Date: 2010-11-15 11:24:13 by Brian S
2 Comments
A GOP senator who voted against the Democrats' sweeping health care bill quietly got a healthcare stimulus of his own: $960,000 doled out to the University of Nevada for a Primary Care Residency Expansion program. What's more, the senator, Republican John Ensign of Nevada, has also joined about a dozen Republican senators in a crusade to end earmarks in the federal budget. The special dispensation for the University of Nevada was created via an earmark, a legislative maneuver that directs funds to be spent on a specific project. So not only did the anti-healthcare senator get a special healthcare program funded in his state, he also got it through an earmark, a process he himself ...
Is Marco Rubio a "Natural Born Citizen"? [Full Thread]

There has been talk on other sites (hint: Goldi-Lox and LP) about the desirability of Marco Rubio running for president. Since these sites are also by and large "birther" sites, I want to know if Rubio is considered a "natural born citizen" and if so, why.
Jim Inhofe Courts Tea Party On Earmarks

Tea party activists are stepping up their involvement in an internal Senate GOP battle over whether to ban earmarks — and Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe is pushing back aggressively. Inhofe has engaged in a behind-the-scenes effort aimed at convincing tea party groups of the value of earmarks, including circulating a 20-page document that makes the case that it’s Congress’s job to appropriate money and that a number of projects are rooted in the national and local interest. The 75-year-old, four-term lawmaker, who boasts of being the most conservative senator, has been relentless, according to several accounts. Moments after the Tea Party Patriots issued a missive to 200,000 ...
Holocaust Survivors Condemn Glenn Beck’s ‘Monstrous’ Report On Soros

Rosenberg: 'Glenn Beck era will likely end sooner than expected' Holocaust survivors and prominent Jewish groups are targeting Fox News personality Glenn Beck for his claim that billionaire George Soros helped in the effort to exterminate Jews during World War II. Some political observers are wondering whether Beck may have gone too far this week with a series on Soros, the billionaire financier and philanthropist of Jewish extraction who survived the Nazi occupation of his native Hungary. During a multi-part series on Soros on his radio show, Beck on Thursday described Soros' youth during the war: George Soros' father asked a Christian in Hungary to adopt his son or make ...
Ex-German Leader: Bush Lying About Iraq In New Book

Former President George W. Bush just isn't telling the truth, says one ex-world leader in a position to know. In his new book Decision Points, Bush claims that former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder offered him full-fledged support should he decide to invade Iraq. Bush wrote that Schroeder told him, "What is true of Afghanistan is true of Iraq. Nations that sponsor terror must face consequences. If you make it fast and make it decisive, I will be with you." "The former American president is not telling the truth," Schroeder told the German newspaper Der Spiegel Tuesday. "I took that as a statement of support," Bush wrote. "But when German elections ...
Republican Congressman: I Have ‘No Hesitation Whatsoever’ In Probing Bush For Torture

A newly elected Republican congressman said in a little-noticed interview Tuesday he'd have "no hesitation whatsoever" in beginning an investigation of the former President George W. Bush for torture. Appearing on MSNBC's The Dylan Rattigan show, GOP Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), who also serves on the House Government Oversight Committee, said he'd be more than willing to join a torture probe. "How far back do you think is appropriate?" Rattigan asked. "Because the one thing that’s not on this list is for instance a torture investigation." "Well, it may be on the list as well," Chaffetz said. "I’m not afraid of going after ...
‘I’d Have Endorsed Obama If They’d Asked Me,’ Bush Reportedly Said

It's an age old question: Who are "they" and what do they want from us? Apparently "they" wanted former US President George W. Bush to endorse Sen. John McCain for president -- but "I’d have endorsed Obama if they’d asked me," he reportedly told a group of British diplomats in 2008. Or were "they" the Democrats? They certainly wanted nothing to do with the outgoing president's politically radioactive brand. That detail, about a president who once called himself "the decider," is sure to fire up some interesting rhetoric in the press over which "they" might be so powerful as to compel a president's endorsement, ...
McConnell-DeMint Standoff Over Earmark Vote Heats Up

For a nonbinding resolution, Sen. Jim DeMint’s (R-S.C.) proposal that Republican senators give up earmarks in the 112th Congress is generating a lot of controversy. Politico reports that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has been busy expressing his concerns with the idea in public and lobbying quietly to defeat the measure behind closed doors, risking open conflict with the Tea Party in the process. In a series of one-on-one conversations with incoming and sitting senators, McConnell is encouraging his colleagues to keep an open mind and not to automatically side with DeMint, whose plan calls on Senate Republicans to unilaterally give up earmarks in the 112th Congress, ...

Does the road to the White House run through Peekskill? Former governor George Pataki yesterday said he'll run for President if he thinks none of his fellow Republicans are able to "bring people together." Pataki, who was governor for 12 years and considered a presidential bid in 2008, told ABC News that his previous experience as mayor of Peekskill makes him a strong candidate in 2012. "It was a challenging job, let me assure you," he said. "Twice the size of Wasilla," he quipped, taking a shot at former Sarah Palin, a potential rival for the nomination. But he said he would support her if she won the GOP nomination.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough blasted the Republican Senator of South Carolina Monday for saying the United States should seek regime change in Iran through the use of military force. "I don't get this," said Scarborough on his show Morning Joe. "This is neoconservatism on crack. How many miles of terrain does the United States have to occupy?" On Saturday, Senator Lindsey Graham told attendees of the Halifax International Security Forum that although the "last thing America needs is another military conflict," having a nuclear armed Iran is completely unacceptable. "So my view of military force would be not to just neutralize their nuclear program, ...

Residents in Oklahoma thought they were voting to ban Sharia law last Tuesday but it turns out that the new constitutional amendment may also extend to the Ten Commandments. The Oklahoma ballot measure orders judges not to consider Islamic or international law when deciding cases. But Rick Tepker, a law professor at the University of Oklahoma School of Law believes the "Save Our State" constitutional amendment may have the unwanted side effect of preventing judges from referencing the Ten Commandments. Tepker called the measure "a mess." "Many of us who understand the law are scratching our heads this morning, laughing so we don't cry," he told CNN. ...

Money talks. Rand Paul, the next Republican US senator from Kentucky, has done an about-face on earmarks even before taking office. In an interview published over the weekend with the Wall Street Journal, Paul signaled a major backtrack on a core campaign promise: cutting federal earmarks. The promise is a hallmark of Republican candidates of all stripes, who advocate that a smaller government is in the national interest and that money doled out for special progress is tantamount to backroom dealing. "In a bigger shift from his campaign pledge to end earmarks, he tells me that they are a bad "symbol" of easy spending but that he will fight for Kentucky's share of earmarks ...

GOP Gov. Christie: 'It's Put Up Or Shut Up Time For Our Party'

New Jersey’s Republican governor Chris Christie told NBC’s "Meet the Press" today: “It's put up or shut up time for our party.” Christie said Republicans had to stick by their election pledges to cut spending and downsize government: “We have to do what we said we’d do or be sent to the wilderness.” The New Jersey governor argued his state is leading the way in curtailing spending: “We’ve made real hard decisions. We’ve cut spending we would have liked to have kept, but we’re broke! “We’re showing Washington how it’s done,” he added. Christie said there needs to be a credible plan to cut spending ...
Will GOP Halt Afghan Drawdown? New Congress Could Put Kibosh On Obama's Plans

President Barack Obama's plan to begin withdrawing troops from Afghanistan next summer could be hindered by the new Republican majority in the House, as the decision remains unpopular with the GOP. In Australia, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said that the timing around the withdrawal remains undecided. "I think things will depend on our assessment next spring and early summer on how we're doing," the Pentagon chief told reporters. That statement is a step back from previous expressions of certainty from the administration that the drawdown would be in the works by mid-July. Read it at Reuters
Gates: Repeal ‘Don’t Ask’ Before GOP Takes House

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Congress should act quickly, before new members take their seats, to repeal the military's ban on gays serving openly in the military. He, however, did not sound optimistic that the current Congress would use a brief post-election session to get rid of the law known as "don't ask, don't tell." His words stand in stark contrast to the new commandant of the US Marine Corps, Gen. James Amos, who said Saturday that now is the wrong time to repeal the policy that forbids gays from serving openly in the armed forces. "I would like to see the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" but I'm not sure what the ...

The midterm elections brought big wins for the Republicans but they also exposed fractures within the party. Fox News' Juan Williams described Sunday what he called a "civil war" between the establishment Republicans and the tea party. "I think there is a civil war of sorts going on," Williams said. "We don't talk about it much -- between the Republican establishment and tea party people. It's Sarah Palin [vs.] Karl Rove if you want to personify it." In no place were the divisions as obvious during the mid-term elections as they were with opinions on Christine O'Donnell, the GOP's Senate candidate in Delaware. Former Alaska Governor Sarah ...

Conservative columnist and former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan doesn't like people demeaning the Gipper's legacy, not even Sarah Palin, and not even if she's only talking about the former president's Hollywood career. She writes in her latest column of a recent incident in which Sarah Palin attempted to explain away a Karl Rove criticism over her "reality show" by drawing parallels to former president Ronald Reagan's silver screen career, including his roles in movies such as "Bedtimes for Bonzo, bozo or something": Excuse me, but this was ignorant even for Mrs. Palin.

WASHINGTON — Republican US senator-elect Marco Rubio of Florida, a darling of the archconservative "Tea Party" movement, heads to Israel this weekend for a private visit, his spokesman said Friday. "Senator-elect Rubio and his wife Jeanette will be making a private and personal visit to the Holy Land next week," Alex Burgos told AFP by email, stressing that details of the trip "will be kept private." "Senator-elect Rubio is also working with pro-Israel supporters to make an official trip back to Israel early next year after he is sworn into office," said Burgos. Rubio, 39, cruised to easy victory in Tuesday's elections over his Democratic ...
Mid-Term Election Results Not A Mandate For GOP, Poll Shows

'Voters are looking for change — but not what the Republicans are offering' It's the economy, stupid. That catchphrase from the 1992 election -- which saw Bill Clinton propelled to the Oval Office on a wave of discontent over unemployment -- applies just as strongly in 2010, a new poll indicates. The exit poll (PDF) from Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research suggests that while voters gave control of the House to the Republicans, it was not out of a desire to return to Republican policies, but rather out of a lack of other options. The poll shows voters largely rejected the narrative put forward by Republicans: That the American public rebelled against the liberal-minded ...
Mid-Term Shocker: Gay Voters Shifting Toward GOP

Gay voters' support for Republican candidates increased by over ten percent since 2008, according to a recent poll. National exit polls for the midterm House races show that 31 percent of gay voters backed the GOP, compared to only 19 percent in the 2008 elections. "The gay left would have you believe that gay conservatives don't exist," said Jimmy LaSalvia, Executive Director of the gay conservative group GOProud. "Now we see that almost a third of self-identified gay voters cast ballots for Republican candidates for Congress in this year's midterm. This should be a wake-up call for the out-of-touch so-called leadership of Gay, Inc. in Washington, D.C., which has ...
House Republicans Sabotaging Michele Bachmann's Dreams; John Boehner's Allies Seek To Stop The Cable News Favorite

Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is pretty sure that she was an integral part of the Republican victory at the polls. And so she'd like to be rewarded for her efforts. Bachmann seeks a House leadership position. Specifically, she wants to be the chairwoman of the House Republican Conference -- the fourth-ranking Republican leadership post in the House, and a position once held by John Boehner, Dick Cheney, and Jack Kemp. There's just one slight problem: She's a prominent national Republican solely because she says insane things on television, not because of her leadership skills or policy chops. This presents a slight problem for House leadership. They like the more ...
Beck ‘Fantasizes’ About Obama Getting ‘Beheaded’ In India

It's the classic double-negative: God forbid anything bad happen to the people I so love to hate. That was the theme of Glenn Beck's Thursday radio broadcast, in which he spun a series of myths about the president's ongoing trip across Asia into a violent fantasy about Obama getting his head cut off by radical Muslims angry that he'd supposedly forsaken Islam. It apparently cannot be stated often enough: President Obama was raised Christian and claims it as his religion. There is no evidence that the president is or ever was a Muslim. This fact, however, has not stopped right-wing media from spreading the Obama-is-a-Muslim rumor as often as possible, starting even before he ...

Nov. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Tea Party supporters boasted of their 28 victories in U.S. House races. What the election results also made clear was that their appeal stopped at the border of the most densely-populated states and metropolitan areas. Republican Carl Paladino, who had the Tea Party endorsement, took a 27 percentage-point drubbing from Democrat Andrew Cuomo in New York’s gubernatorial race. In California, Carly Fiorina failed in her Senate race. Other contests in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta, Chicago and Philadelphia showed as well that Democrats maintained their political firewall in areas that historically have backed their party.
