A homeschooling mom says, "If you haven’t at least Googled Ron Paul, do yourself a favor and do that now. I am a registered Democrat folks. I have never voted for a Republican in my life. A friend spoke to me about Ron Paul and I took her advice and Googled his name. I think it might have changed my life, and I am not kidding. Never have I been inspired by someone who was running for the office of the president before. Never have I considered actually donating money before. But I am inspired by him and his constant truth and principle. I actually donated money to a political campaign. I am still shocked by that, and the fact that I will continue to donate as I am able until he ...
Statute forbids issue-oriented polls Political committees, parties can't ask voters about their views

TALLAHASSEE - Florida elections officials will begin enforcing a law which changes the state's "rules of political engagement": campaigns can't ask voters about the issues. For example, political committees that push or want to defeat ballot initiatives, such as changing Florida's property tax structure, can't survey voters to find out how they feel about the issue. A lawyer for the Department of State's Division of Elections issued the advisory opinion last week, at the request of a political committee that wanted to know if it could co-sponsor such polls with other groups, and if so, how to report the costs. "Truthfully, no one ever posed the ...

Criticism is coming his way because he's running for president and has been accused of exploiting 9/11 to lift his national profile. "I think it's a horrible decision and I'm outraged," ...

Thompson Campaign Loses Another Staffer

Republican Fred Thompson sidestepped questions Monday about the departure of yet another high-level aide to his presidential campaign-in-waiting. Linda Rozett, a longtime U.S. Chamber of Commerce official, is gone from the former Tennessee senator's committee to ``test the waters'' of a presidential bid after spending the last several weeks as communications director. ``I don't know what the story is,'' said Thompson, who was asked about the departure while campaigning at the Minnesota state fair. ``I don't know what to say about it except that she's a wonderful lady.'' Rozett's departure was disclosed in an e-mail to staffers from campaign ...

Obama seeking Ross's advice on Middle East

Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) told a group of Jewish communal lay leaders that he is receiving advice on Middle East issues from Dennis Ross. The Democratic presidential hopeful made the disclosure during a closed meeting in New York with 25 Jewish leaders, according to a Jewish organizational source familiar with what was said at the gathering. It comes as the senator's campaign is making a concerted effort to reach out to the Jewish community across the country. The association with Ross could help Obama solve a key dilemma: how to win the confidence of hawkish pro-Israel donors without alienating his anti-war base. Ross, who served in the State Department of both Bush ...
After Ron Paul Makes Meteoric Gains, Romney "Borrows" Philosophy

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. On the other hand, it does not show much honesty, integrity, or conviction. The latest test of this principle is to watch 1st tier presidential candidate Mitt Romney start to emulate the political philosophy of 2nd tier candidate Ron Paul. Ron Paul has been in favor of small government since he became a Congressman. He has been in Congress for ten terms or twenty years. (Ron Paul is currently listed with 8 to 1 odds of becoming the next US President) Throughout that time he has consistently advocated that we strictly adhere to the Constitution of the United States. He has written volumes of information on the topic and may be the most ...

http://Gambling911.com recently sent its reporter, Kira Wissman, out about town in the Pittsburgh, PA area trying to get a pulse on public opinion towards the 2008 Presidential elections as we are about to conclude the Summer of 2007. Questions such as: Have you heard of Ron Paul? Are you following the Presidential Elections? Do you think Hillary Clinton can win the Democratic Election? Do you think the media influences the course of the election? Wissman is a CPA who has "real world" experience. Her results at times reflect what individuals are being "spoon fed" by the media.

Rudy Giuliani: Confused, Ignorant, or Deceitful?

The Republican Party is in desperate straits. How else to explain that Rudy Giuliani – a former mayor with no foreign policy experience – is the Republican front-runner, largely based on his supposed foreign policy expertise? That the former mayor is unsuited to be president is evident from his recent essay in Foreign Affairs. He is breathtakingly naive, shockingly irresponsible, and cynically dishonest in turn. Indeed, since this document was undoubtedly carefully drafted and vetted by his campaign staff and outside policy advisers, his personal instincts likely are even more extreme. Giuliani was an unpopular lame duck until 9/11, which transformed his public image. Thus, he ...
Embattled GOP Rep. Renzi to Retire From Arizona Seat

8:00 PM; Aug. 23, 2007 Rick Renzi, a three-term Republican U.S. House member from Arizona, announced Thursday that he will retire at the end of the 110th Congress and will not seek re-election in 2008. Renzi’s announcement ended months of speculation about his status, sparked by a pending federal investigation into his family’s business practices. Though Renzi has denied wrongdoing, an FBI raid in April on a business owned by his wife cast a cloud over his political future and prompted him to surrender his committee assignments ahead of what would have been strong pressure from House Republican leaders to do so. Questions about Renzi’s 2008 intentions intensified when he ...

u RUDY MYSPACE SHOCKER: IS THIS HIS NEW GAL PAL? So remember how 2008 is going to be so different because of the YouTubes and the MySpaces? Turns out that’s maybe all true! Our first candidate-mistress story backed by a MySpace page that could’ve been set up by literally anyone is here, and it comes complete with softcore half-naked pictures, Larry King and Donald Trump. Meet Starr Shephard, after the jump. So what’s the deal? Well, S T A R R (that’s how she spells it on MySpace) is a motivational speaker apparently living in Houston. And Rudy’s a motivational speaker from New York. Think about it. Anyway, the National Enquirer says she’s Rudy’s ...

Thompson Faces Election Complaint
Post Date: 2007-08-21 12:52:40 by Eoghan

A liberal blogger has filed a federal complaint against former Sen. Fred Thompson, the actor and unannounced Republican candidate for president, accusing him of violating election laws as he ponders his entry into the race. The blogger, Lane Hudson, submitted his complaint to the Federal Election Commission on Monday saying Thompson has raised far more money than he needs to explore whether to run for president. Federal law allows potential candidates to raise money to travel, conduct polls and pay for other expenses related to "testing the waters" for a political campaign. During that exploratory period, a potential candidate does not have to file financial reports with the ...

FORT WORTH -- It's Texas' turn. Now that Iowa Republicans have made their presidential pick in the first straw poll of the 2008 campaign, the spotlight is expected to shift to Texas and who Republicans here say would be the best choice to keep their party in the White House. In less than two weeks, thousands of devout Republicans from across the state are expected to gather in Fort Worth to vote in the http://Townhall.com Presidential Straw Poll. So far, three key candidates -- Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani and John McCain -- have declined to attend, and now some behind-the-scenes squabbles could threaten some of the event's funding, even as agendas are being printed, hotel ...

A string of retirement announcements signals a shift on the Hill, but a GOP official say it's "normal and expected." Latest GOP hit: Rep. Dennis Hastert of Illinois added his name Friday to a rash of retirements among House Republicans, magnifying the party's electoral challenges and raising questions about a rush for the exits. Other hits: Rep. Ray LaHood of Illinois, Rep. Deborah Pryce of Ohio and Rep. Charles W. Pickering Jr. of Mississippi have all announced in recent days that they will not seek reelection. In the Senate, Wayne Allard, R-Colo., has already announced plans not to seek reelection, and other weighing the same option include Sen. John Warner of ...

Republican Fred Thompson is second in most of the national polls and he's been actively taking part in the Iowa State Fair. An interview with Fox News suggests that he is very close to making an announcement, "in the next few weeks". He thinks it is still a little bit to early to get in the race. Fred Thompson's odds to become the next US President sat at 4 to 1 at http://Sportsbook.com. Thompson spent the day Friday unapologetically defending his career as a Washington lobbyist paid to influence the government on behalf of an abortion-rights group, a leftist Haitian leader and other special interests. "Don't confuse the lawyer with the client," Thompson ...

Chuck Kennedy/MCTMillions in federal money went to battleground congressional states and districts. | View larger image WASHINGTON — Top Commerce and Treasury Departments officials appeared with Republican candidates and doled out millions in federal money in battleground congressional districts and states after receiving White House political briefings detailing GOP election strategy. Political appointees in the Treasury Department received at least 10 political briefings from July 2001 to August 2006, officials familiar with the meetings said. Their counterparts at the Commerce Department received at least four briefings — all in the election years of 2002, 2004 and ...

Diebold Scrubs Wikipedia - Changes Name Of Voting Machine DivisionBy: Logan Murphy @ 10:05 AM - PDT Via Salon: “Diebold Election Systems” are three words synonymous with the aggressive pursuit of failure. Not only did the company badly implement a dubious concept — unverifiable electronic touch-screen voting machines — but it did so with determined flourish, letting its code and internal communication leak out onto the Web; employing as a chief executive a man who declared he was “committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year”; abusing copyright law in an attempt to quell its critics; and, among many other ...
