Mike Flynn Responds to US Chamber of Commerce Endorsement of LaHood

“If you love big bank bailouts, loved the Obama stimulus, love corporate welfare for big defense contractors, and loved Obama’s executive amnesty, then evidently, you should vote for Darin LaHood. If you’re for limited government, lower taxes, free market competition, and securing the border first, then it’s clear: You should vote for me,” Mike Flynn says.

Poll: Trump Jumps to Second Place with New Hampshire Voters

“It’s the politics of plurality,” explained the Director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center David Paleologos. “Those who like him are voting for him, and although many more dislike him, the unfavorables are split up among many other candidates so it’s not hurting him.”

Many GOP Presidential Candidates Agree Confederate Flag Removal Rests with States

“The issue is not the flag so much as it is how people think,” said the only African American GOP presidential candidate, Dr. Ben Carson, to the Wall Street Journal. “What’s in their heart? You can get rid of every Confederate flag in the world but if you’re still being motivated by the wrong emotion it’s not going to solve any problem.”

Santorum Rejects Tainted Campaign Funds, Donates to Charleston Shooting Victims

Santorum said, “It was brought to my attention late Sunday evening that an individual who led a group cited by the murderer who terrorized the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston had given to one of my past political campaigns. Rather than put more money back in the pockets of such an individual, my 2012 campaign committee will be donating the amount of his past donations to the Mother Emanuel Hope Fund to support the victims of this tragedy.”

Huckabee: Warns Against Senate Trade Vote Tuesday – a “significant milestone”

“I think there is an obvious question here – if this trade bill is going to create so many jobs and be so good for American workers, why are we setting aside billions of dollars to protect people that are going to lose all of these jobs that we’re supposed to create? I have not heard anyone address that,” Huckabee says.

Kinzinger Channels Paul Ryan: Slams Drudge Report For ‘Misinformation’ on Obamatrade

In reference to Kinzinger also claiming it isn’t a “secret deal” – that’s also untrue. TiSA and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) – two of Obama’s trade deals – have not been made public and even members of Congress can’t read them yet. Furthermore, TPP is being kept in a secured room for only House and Senate members to review – again not allowing public access.

Trump Campaign Responds to Hillary Linking Him to South Carolina Shooting: ‘She Must be Nervous’

Mr. Trump believes that Hillary Clinton does not have any credibility when she blames words for violence. This is the same politician who lied to the world after she failed to take proper steps to secure the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi and falsely blamed the radical Islamic attack on a YouTube video. This is the same person who illegally deleted her emails after getting a subpoena from the U.S. Congress.

Poll: No Clear GOP Front Runner in Key Swing States

“With so many Republican candidates, there is no clear leader in these key swing states in the race for the 2016 presidential nomination,” says Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac Poll.

Larry Summers Admits Obamatrade Gives Barack Obama More Power, Taking It Away From Congress

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) has been arguing that Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) – also referred to as fast-track trade authority – would give Congress more power over President Obama’s highly secretive trade agreements, including the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP) and the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA). However, Summers argued in his op-ed that if Obama isn’t given fast track and his trade agreements aren’t passed, the president would actually lose power over international negotiations.

GOP Leadership’s Latest Obamatrade Ploy Revealed: Small Business Tax Hike That Violates GOP’s Anti-Tax Pledge

Establishment Republicans desperately trying to secure the passage of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), which would give President Obama fast-track authority to secure congressional approval of at least three secretive trade deals, are now willing to increase taxes on small businesses in a way that would violate a pledge almost every Republican Congressman has taken when elected into office.
