And Then There Is Rubio

Marco Rubio, the darling of the GOP and the Tea Party, at least for the first year or so of his term………well he became the face of the immigration debate for the GOP but something went wrong and now he just is as silent as he was vocal in the past.  He talked and talked and now…..NOTHING.  he is hiding from his past stand………..he is even going so far as to duck journalists to avoid talking about immigration.

So what happened?

My guess is 2016!  Immigration will be a hot bed of criticism in the next national election and Rubio wants to insulate himself for the attacks to come.  Rubio is showing what our elected officials are truly about…..the next election…..nowhere are these twats interested in the future of this country.  It is all about a personal agenda not the improving of the country.  And this is why politicians are like diapers….they need changing regularly and for the same reason……

Personally, I think he is a coward that is hiding behind his personal ambition.  (In case there is any confusion……a copy of this will be sent to Rubio via email)………I feel he needs to go and apparently so does the Tea Party in Florida…….

You can’t actually recall a US senator in Florida, but Tea Party activists aren’t letting a little thing like that thwart their efforts to recall Marco Rubio. Radio host KrisAnne Hall says she and a group of other conservatives are helping draft legislation that would allow senators in the state to face recall elections, the National Review Online reports. Hall says that, amongst other things, they’re ticked off at Rubio’s support for the immigration bill. “They’re angry because they feel they’ve been deceived,” she says.

With luck they will get their way and recall this coward…..my only worry is that they will replace his with something worse.

But wait!  McCain, the old man of the the Party, has come to his rescue……..

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said it would be “foolish” to write of Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) presidential chances, despite the hit absorbed by the Florida lawmaker from conservatives upset with his championing of a comprehensive immigration reform bill.

Rubio and McCain served as two of the primary GOP negotiators in the Senate’s “Gang of Eight,” which crafted the upper chamber’s bipartisan reform bill.

“I think it’s just foolish,” McCain told The Arizona Republic in an interview Friday. “I’m not endorsing anyone, but I can tell you Marco Rubio is an articulate spokesperson for what conservatives believe in, in principle. And if we pass immigration reform, which is certainly not clear, he would get enormous credit for it.”

Rubio will do whatever it takes to save his political ass for the 2016 election…..even go against his own bill……this is one reason he is labelled a coward ….by me.

Oh there is more….looks like some voters fo not see him as the fair hair boy for the 2016 election…….

Report from National Review on the state of Rubio’s prospects in Iowa:

A growing number of tea-party activists are irate about his efforts on immigration reform. Instead of being cheered at rubber-chicken dinners, he’s being slammed — and some Republicans say a run for the caucuses would be doomed.

“He has been seriously hobbled — we’re talking about long-term damage,” says Chuck Laudner, a veteran Iowa Republican who helped Rick Santorum win the 2012 caucuses. “Most conservatives feel burned, and he doesn’t have a lot of allies in the state defending him.”

Iowa’s talk-radio hosts have been particularly brutal. Steve Deace, an influential Christian conservative, has warned Rubio not to even show up, and has often taunted him during broadcasts. “Zip, zilch, nada — he’s got no support, he would be dead on arrival,” Deace tells me. “He may end up running for president, but he can’t win here.”

When I mention that Rubio could mount a comeback by pushing conservative initiatives on other issues, such as abortion, Deace is dismissive. “I don’t care how pro-life Rubio is,” Deace says. “If he’s pro-life, that’s great, but what he has done on immigration is unacceptable.”

I believe that 2016 will be a bigger circus than 2010…….and the clowns are jockeying for position…….

Do my readers have any thoughts?

2016 Super PACs Getting Fired Up!

Like I said before…..2016 is not too far away to start watching the clowns in the circus……the super PACs will be the main player and the candidates will be a secondary source of news…….

Let’s look at what we know so far about the coming race…..

us presidentialelectionnews.com is a good source for information for the theater coming to a ballot box near you…….

Super PACs became somewhat famous in 2012 for helping and hurting both major candidates and for their ability to run even the most dishonest ads and get away with it. 2016 will be no exception with both sides building their ground and fundraising game even earlier.

Report from the Washington Post:

The Democrats have established their 2016 war room in a glassy new building in downtown Washington. The Republicans are setting up shop across the Potomac River in the Northern Virginia suburbs.

Long before any candidates announce their presidential bids, the next race for the White House is unofficially underway. Political operatives for two independent groups — American Bridge 21st Century on the left and America Rising on the right — are already tracking potential contenders, aiming to build robust research files that can be used against the opposition.

The organizations are part of a wave of super PACs, advocacy groups and even for-profit corporations that are poised to play their biggest role yet in national politics. They are launching ­opposition-research projects, mobilizing volunteers and even helping to recruit candidates — further eroding the primacy of the official party hierarchies in the process.

“We are going to continue to see the outsourcing of core functions of the DNC and RNC to outside groups,” said election-law attorney Robert Kelner, referring to the Democratic and Republican national committees. “By November 2014, there will be a true shadow political party system in place on both sides of the aisle.”

The “shadow parties,” as Kelner refers to them, walked that very fine line in 2012 of appearing to be in collusion with but never formally acknowledging a connection to the campaigns they supported. By law, Super PACs and campaigns can’t have any communication but that didn’t stop President Obama and Mitt Romney from asking each other to demand that their respective PACs stop running any given ad. To make such a demand might be seen as collusion. What a tangled web of campaign fiance law we live in.

So many people feel like Hilary Clinton could well be the democratic nominee for 2016…..and many in the GOP and its supporters are feeling the paranoia of running against her……..

Literally called the “Stop Hillary Clinton Political Action Committee,” the Stop Hillary PAC is being organized far in advance by conservatives who have assumed the former Secretary of State will wind of being the Democratic nominee in 2016. Their goal is to hound Clinton and respond wherever she pops up in the political arena between now and the 2016 election.

Report from Syracuse.com:

Some conservatives have already begun efforts “Stop Hillary” Clinton from winning the 2016 presidential election, even though the former first lady, senator and Secretary of State has not officially declared her intention to run.

The Stop Hillary political action committee, incorporated in May, has declared its intention to counter every campaign move Clinton may make, according to Newser.

“We’re supporting anything that is the opposite of Hillary,” said Garrett Marquis, an adviser to John McCain during his 2008 presidential run. “We will play however needed, wherever Hillary is playing. If she endorses in the Virginia governor’s race, we will go there. Assuming she is active in Iowa, we will be there, too, and we will make some considerable noise.”

This week some of the group’s organizers have begun stepping into public view. CNN reported that Ted Harvey, a conservative state senator from Colorado is heading up Stop Hillary’s leadership team. Other members include Alex Shively, a former aide to Georgia Rep. Tom Price; Jacob Leis, a Colorado-based political strategist; and Dan Backer, a Washington attorney and lobbyist.

These names are not exactly prominent, but the group is not concerned with star power. Stop Hillary hopes to appeal to grassroots conservatives and low dollar contributors, not traditional big donors.

Clearly on the right, the presumed nominee is Hillary Clinton. Is this a result of media inevitability or simply that there are no other names in Democratic politics right now to challenge the Clinton juggernaut?

I have heard of being paranoid….but the GOP is on steroids in its FEAR of Clinton…….

Does anyone have anything to add?

Never Too Early For 2016!

There is the beginning of the 2016 election….it is never too early to start talking about the circus that will be the 2016 election………….we have Clinton all but announcing……we have Rubio and Cruz lining up for a run……..so far not many Dems have hinted at a run….but it is early and we know they will come out of the woodwork soon enough……

Last election I had the most fun with Perry and newt…..bit it paled compared to the total worthless candidacy of our boy Rick Santorum and guess what?  From uspresidentialelectionnews.com……….

Never too early to get ahead, right? The former US Senator from Pennsylvania is working the ground game in Iowa quietly trying to maintain a deep rapport with social conservatives ahead of the 2016 (!) Iowa caucus. Santorum, if you’ll recall, narrowly squeaked out a victory over Mitt Romney in the 2012 Iowa caucus.

Report from the Des Moines Register:

The 2016 Iowa caucus campaign is wide open for Republican presidential candidates, and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum can’t claim frontrunner status despite his victory in the 2012 GOP caucuses, says U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley.

“I wouldn’t consider anybody at this point to be a frontrunner,” Grassley, an Iowa Republican, said Wednesday in his weekly conference call with Iowa reporters.

Santorum hasn’t announced his intentions for the 2016 campaign, but he appears to be laying the groundwork for another presidential run. He is scheduled to return to Iowa in August for appearances at the Iowa State Fair and at an Aug. 8 fundraising dinner for the Lyon County Republican Party in northwest Iowa. On Aug. 10, Santorum is scheduled to speak in Ames at the Family Leadership Summit sponsored by the Iowa Family Leader, Citizens United, Heritage Action, and The National Organization for Marriage.

I think Santorum may have a tougher go of things in 2016 even compared to 2012. His hawkish foreign policy brand of conservatism isn’t so much in demand right now as displayed by the support being given to libertarian-leaning voices like Kentucky Senator Rand Paul. Santorum may be best suited to stick to the social issues which will surely be a hot-button debate among the GOP field in 2016. Do they abandon social issues and focus solely on the economy and growing government or are they all-in for the three legs of the Republican coalition stool?

I cannot wait for him to hit the trial…….his antiquated views will make writing and analysis so much easier than it is now…..keep your eye on the circus….there are more clowns waiting to see if they can eek out a candidacy……

Gaming The Voter (Cond)

Every day there is nothing but stuff to write about…..we have to pick and choose our fights….I mean there are pressing questions, if you believe the media, that need answering….like why do so many women want to be blonde?  (Sorry that is sarcasm)……

I have chosen to keep an eye on the voting aspects….since SCOTUS made its monumental ruling doing away with the provision of the VRA that made it almost impossible to deny people the right to vote ….we have had North Carolina try (see my post last week) and now Florida has an attempt to limit who gets the right to vote……..

Florida’s controversial initiative to screen for suspected non-citizens and purge them from the voter rolls is allowed to officially resume, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.

In 2012, the Department of Justice warned that Florida’s voter purge, which targeted roughly 180,000 people, was illegal, and all of the state’s county election supervisors refused to execute the purge. The lists of flagged individuals — many of whom had Latino-sounding names — also turned out to be largely inaccurate. These flagged individuals would receive notifications in the mail notifying them that they had 30 days to contest the purge.

The state had to partially settle with a civil rights group and restore suspected non-citizens to the rolls, but soon tried to re-start the purge just a month before the November presidential election with a drastically pared down list of 198 voters.

After all the legal battles and thousands of wasted taxpayer dollars, the state could not turn up virtually any non-citizens who were registered to vote.

Florida voters, particularly in minority-heavy urban areas, suffered some of the longest lines and most chaotic elections in the country last year. The mayhem was largely created by Republican lawmakers’ efforts to suppress votes. Besides trying to purge voters, Republicans cut the number of early voting days in half, changed ballot length restrictions so they could add frivolous constitutional amendments to 12-page ballots, and restricted voter registration. These voter suppression efforts discouraged at least 201,000 Floridians from voting, and black and Latino voters waited nearly twice as long as white voters. The backlash was so fierce that even Gov. Rick Scott (R), the primary defender of these voter suppression laws, agreed to sign an election reform law undoing most of the damage.

Prominent Florida Republicans admitted shortly after the election that the motive behind all these election law changes was to make it harder for Democrats to vote.

So many states and so little time………I wrote in my original post that the red states would line up to find ways to go about suppression of the vote….so far I have been fairly accurate……any bets on the next state to pursue this line of legislation?

Is It Really An Addiction?

There are many addictions….like drugs, booze adrenalin and of course that addiction that all men love to hear about….SEX ADDICTION!

It is fought with many different solutions….therapy, hypnosis, drugs (but that could create a whole new set of addictions) and just go about screwing your brains out…..every man looks for that perfect nymphomaniac to keep him smiling for a long time…..but there is a new study and research that may shine some light onto the subject…….

(Newser) – The term “sex addiction” might get tossed around a lot these days as a way to explain some not-so-classy behavior of the Anthony Weiner-Tiger Woods variety, but is it really an addiction on par with drugs or alcohol? The first study to explore brain responses in people who describe themselves as hypersexual suggests otherwise, reports UCLA. Researchers there showed the subjects—39 men and 13 women—sexual images, and discovered that their brains didn’t respond in the same way that, say, a cocaine addict would respond to images of cocaine.

“Most people describe high-frequency sexual problems as an ‘addiction’—that’s how the public and even many clinicians talk about it,” one of the researchers tells Slate. “But this data challenges the addiction model and forces us to reconsider how we think and talk about these problems.” The subjects have higher libidos, or sexual desire, but not necessarily a clinical medical problem. They still need help, but if further studies verify this first one, then the type of help they’ll get will be affected. All of which might be OK, writes Jillian Keenan at Slate. “If we turn every single quirk of human sexuality into a ‘disease,’ after all, then we’re all screwed.” The study is in the journal Socioaffective Neuroscience & Psychology.

Now I know my loyal readers will an opinion on this turn of events……speak up!
