How Obama plans to steal the next election

STEALING THE NEXT ELECTION  From amnesty to universal registration,  Obama's strategy for maintaining power As Barack Obama's approval ratings continue to plummet, the tea party movement explodes and Democrats lose election after election – even in Massachusetts – one giant question looms large for Team Obama: How to stay in power? The answer to that question can be found in the groundbreaking March issue of Whistleblower magazine, titled "STEALING THE NEXT ELECTION." This game-changing special report is summarized in its long subtitle: "Amnesty, universal voter registration, felons voting, operatives planted: Team Obama's strategy for maintaining permanent power." "The people currently running the show in Washington," said Whistleblower Editor David Kupelian, "come from the radical leftist world of Saul Alinsky in which everything they do – no matter how unethical, corrupt and flat-out illegal – is morally justified if it advances their agenda. Winning votes and elections by any means possible is their stock in trade." "STEALING THE NEXT ELECTION" surveys the various stratagems the far left is currently developing to consolidate power in the U.. » read more

Treasure Coast residents part of lawsuit seeking to stop Tea Party from being 3rd political party

Two of the tea parties based on the Treasure Coast, along with a candidate for the Port St. Lucie City Council, are now among 34 plaintiffs listed in a federal lawsuit against an Orlando attorney who they claim has tried to “hijack” the name by registering it as political party in Florida. The amended complaint, filed Wednesday, seeks to have attorney Fred O’Neal and Republican consultant Doug Guetzloe, both of Orlando, change the name of their registered political party and stop threatening to sue activists who use the name. “We’re not a political party, we don’t want to be a third party, at least the majority of us don’t,” said Port St. Lucie resident Carl Iken.. » read more

When Politicians Resort to Terror Tactics

  ostling before the midterms has begun, and so too has the GOP's ritualistic hazing of Democrats on national security. At every turn Republicans are hammering the Obama administration for "capitulating" in the fight against terrorism. But their macho rhetoric actually sends a message of weakness: we can't try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in the same civilian courts that have convicted dozens of other international terrorists because Al Qaeda might attack New York. (When since 9/11 has New York not been a target of Al Qaeda?) Our criminal-justice system can't deal with a failed underwear bomber. The GOP assault may be smart politics, but in the long run it damages U.. » read more

One in ten House Republicans calling it quits

With Thursday's announcement that Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R-FL) will not seek re-election in his Miami-area district, the number of Republicans not running for re-election to the House now amounts to more than 10 percent of the House Republican caucus, compared to less than five percent for Democrats. Chris Cillizza at the Washington Post notes that the total number of House Republicans set to retire or seek other office is now 18, or slightly more than 10 percent of the 178 seats the GOP holds in the House. By comparison, Roll Call's list of departing lawmakers shows that only 12 House Democrats are retiring, or slightly less than five percent of the Democrats' 255 seats. The numbers are a little more even in the Senate, where five Republicans -- Kit Bond (R-MO), Sam Brownback (R-KS), Jim Bunning (R-KY), Judd Gregg (R-NH) and George Voinovich (R-OH) -- are retiring or seeking other office.. » read more

State’s high court to weigh in on campaign finance limits in wake of federal ruling

The Colorado Supreme Court has agreed to settle the question of how the state’s campaign contribution limits fit with a federal ruling striking down campaign finance limits on corporations and unions. Gov. Bill Ritter’s office had asked the state’s high court to take up the issue after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last month that federal campaign contribution laws barring spending by corporations on the election of individuals candidates was unconstitutional.. » read more

Supreme Court decision to affect local supervisor's race

When the U.S. Supreme Court, in its controversial campaign-finance decision last month, ruled that independent expenditure committees do not create even the appearance of corruption, it effectively rendered meaningless a portion of the County of Ventura's campaign-finance ordinance. The county ordinance, in addition to limiting contributions to candidates at $700, also sets a $700 limit on contributions to independent expenditure committees. But since the court has ruled that there is no valid government interest in regulating such committees (because the "appearance of conflict" argument didn't fly with the justices), local governments can no longer impose such restrictions.. » read more

Massachusetts Miracle

On January 19, 2010, the world witnessed a miracle in Massachusetts. A US senate seat held by Democrats for over half a century was won by a relatively unknown Republican candidate by the name of Scott Brown. Freedom-loving Americans from across our nation rose-up to support Brown, defeating Democrat Martha Coakley who had been ahead in the polls by 25 points just two weeks prior to the election. Even President Obama could not save Coakley from defeat when he flew to Massachusetts to campaign for her just prior to the election. Brown provides the critical 41st vote in the Senate to break the Democrat's filibuster-proof majority and stop the unprecedented assault on our personal liberties that is now taking place in Congress.. » read more
