Republicans 2016

There is no democrats or republicans. They are the same party. Steal from the middle class by setting up bullshit television networks that are "conservative" or "liberial" that attracts views of that persuasion to keep the masses at each others throats so they can keep robbing us blind and keep stealing are liberties.

You only have to look at the Bush Clinton connection before after they held office or Albright and Baker connection. There is a million other examples. Turn off the fucking TV, in fact throw that fucker away and then look and see. Television networks call it "programming" for a reason. Think and see for yourself, don't believe the media. Any of them!
 
Why Rick Perry May Be Out of Luck
http://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/rick-perry-may-luck


What Perry did was obvious. The Governor was using his leverage to jam a political adversary—not exactly novel behavior in Texas, or most other states. But Democrats succeeded in winning the appointment of a special prosecutor, Michael McCrum, to investigate Perry’s behavior, and on Friday McCrum brought the hammer down. The threat to veto the money for the D.A. amounted to, according to the prosecutor, two different kinds of felonies: a “misuse” of government property, and a corrupt attempt to influence a public official in “a specific exercise of his official power or a specific performance of his official duty” or “to violate the public servants known legal duty.” (In the charmingly archaic view of Texas statutes, every public official is a “him.”)

Perry’s indictment has been widely panned, including by many liberals, as an attempt to criminalize hardball politics. (Vetoing things is, generally, part of a governor’s job.) Perry himself is all wounded innocence. “I intend to fight against those who would erode our state’s constitution and laws purely for political purposes, and I intend to win,” he said at a news conference. (It would be easier to feel sorry for Perry if he expressed similar concern about, say, the constitutional rights of those who were executed on his watch and with his support.)

So Perry may have a point, but he also has a problem. Prosecutors have wide, almost unlimited, latitude to decide which cases to bring. The reason is obvious: there is simply no way that the government could prosecute every violation of law it sees. Think about tax evasion, marijuana use, speeding, jay-walking—we’d live in a police state if the government went after every one of these cases. (Indeed, virtually all plea bargaining, which is an ubiquitous practice, amounts to an exercise of prosecutorial discretion.) As a result, courts give prosecutors virtual carte blanche to bring some cases and ignore others. But, once they do bring them, courts respond to the argument that “everyone does it” more or less the same way that your mother did. It’s no excuse. So if Perry’s behavior fits within the technical definition of the two statutes under which he’s charged, which it well might, he’s probably out of luck.
 
The ‘Rand Paul Will Win Over Young Voters’ Myth
http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/the-rand-paul-will-win-over-young-voters-myth/

Rand Paul is having a moment. A recent cover story for The New York Times Magazine dubbed the potential Republican presidential candidate the “Pearl Jam” of the libertarian movement and a force that could win over young voters in 2016. It’s a tantalizing theory for the right and a fun story for the media. But the data suggests that the senator from Kentucky has his work cut out for him.

So far, Paul isn’t doing much better among young voters than the Republican nominee in 2012, Mitt Romney, or than Chris Christie, the New Jersey governor, is currently doing.

Since the beginning of the year, there have been http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/2016-general-election-paul-vs-clintonnational polls that detail results among young voters (ages 18 to 29 or 18 to 34), and matched Paul against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Together, these polls give us the views of more than 1,000 young voters. The same polls http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/2016-general-election-christie-vs-clinton Clinton against Christie. The surveys show that young voters don’t see any difference between Paul and other Republican politicians.
 
The Republican Party’s Geriatric Trap
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/08/republican-partys-geriatric-trap.html

There are many ways to think about the Republican Party's electoral predicament — in racial terms, in sectional terms, in ideological terms. One clarifying way to conceive the problem is in generational terms — a geriatric trap.

David Frum has an essay in Foreign Affairs laying out his view of how the Republican Party must change in order to regain parity at the national level. Frum’s core insight is that the Republican Party fell into a self-perpetuating cycle whereby its ideas attracted mainly old people, and old people in turn shaped its ideas, and so they wound up “reinventing themselves as defenders of the fiscal status quo for older Americans — and only older Americans.” Even while fighting a desperate rear-guard campaign to prevent, and then to destroy, universal health insurance, Republicans exempted all Americans over the age of 55 from any budget cuts. As a Fox News ratings gambit, this works splendidly. As both a long-term Republican political strategy and as a governing doctrine, it is a catastrophe.
 
Rick Hasen writes about, comments in major media on Gov. Rick Perry indictment
http://www.law.uci.edu/news/faculty/hasen_082014.html

Prof. Hasen was quoted extensively in the media and wrote commentary pieces after Gov. Rick Perry of Texas was indicted Aug. 15, 2014 on charges of abuse of power. Prof. Hasen characterized the indictment as criminalization of politics, and was among a group of bipartisan voices condemning the indictment as “legally thin” and potentially unconstitutional.

Mitt Isn’t Ready to Call It Quits
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/05/magazine/mitt-isnt-ready-to-call-it-quits-just-yet.html

Comment [IMO, Spot On.]

I actually got to know Mitt back in the mid-90s when I was asked to be co-chair of one of his Senatorial campaign committees. As they tried to recruit me, I met with him privately and with the other co-chair, who had already accepted, as I ultimately didn't. I was in the room when he promised gay folks that he would always defend their interests. I was in the room repeatedly when he promised Woman's Rights folks that he would defend abortion rights. I was sitting there when he promised gun control advocates that he would support gun control legislation. I was in the room on probably a half-dozen occasions when he promised enviros that he would be their best friend.

As we know from the subsequent years: Mitt was lying about these issues, just lying through his teeth. In my long career at the edge of politics(I was a gubernatorial appointee of two Republican and one Democratic governors), Mitt is the most dishonest person I have ever known. He will tell anybody exactly what they want to here. While other Bay State pols have gone to jail for their corruption, Mitt's inner corruption is of a much lower sort that effects many more people in negative ways.
 
Evangelicals Warn 2016 Candidates: Don't Support Gay Marriage
http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...-candidates-dont-support-gay-marriage-n222201

Russell Moore, the head of the public policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, which includes congregations that have a combined 16 million members, said, "I don’t think you will see social conservatives supporting a candidate who will reject the traditional definition of marriage.”

Huckabee himself, in an interview Thursday with the conservative American Family Association, said he would consider leaving the GOP and becoming an independent if it won’t fight gay marriage
 
Rick Perry ramps up
http://www.politico.com/story/2014/11/rick-perry-2016-campaign-113210.html

Texas Gov. Rick Perry is inviting hundreds of prominent Republican donors and policy experts to a series of gatherings next month that are intended to rebuild his damaged national brand and lay the foundation for a potential 2016 presidential campaign, fundraisers and organizers confirmed to POLITICO.

The small-group sessions kick off Tuesday and Wednesday in Austin with a pair of lunches and dinners held in the governor’s mansion wedged between policy briefings at the nearby office of Perry senior adviser Jeff Miller. In all, Perry’s team expects he will meet in person with more than 500 major donors and bundlers from around the country in December as well as a slew of operatives, Republican National Committee members and policy experts.

Perry’s intensive month of foundation-building comes as other prospective Republican presidential candidates – notably former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz – are engaging with the
wealthy Texans who for years have been among the GOP’s most significant sources of cash. As the heir to a political dynasty with deep Texas ties, Bush in particular could seriously cut into Perry’s financial base. Bush over the last few months has met with major Texas donors.
