Barney Frank, Congress’ Gay-Rights Pioneer, ‘Not Retiring From Advocacy’

Monday, November 28th, 2011

Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank says he decided not to seek re-election to a 17th term in 2012 because congressional redistricting would have given him a slew of new constituents and a difficult, expensive campaign."I think I would have won," Frank, 71, said during a Monday press conference in Massachusetts announcing his retirement. "But it would have been a tough campaign."

Is An Electromagnetic Pulse Attack A Threat?

Friday, November 25th, 2011

At Tuesday night's GOP presidential candidate debate, the last question was: What national security issue do you worry about that nobody is asking about? Answers ranged from socialist rebels to communist China to cyber attacks to joblessness. But Newt Gingrich mentioned a threat that certainly has not been talked about this campaign season: an electromagnetic pulse attack. Guy Raz talks with Noah Shachtman, who writes on national security for Wired magazine, about this potential national security threat.

Weekly Republican Address 8/20/11: Gov. John Kasich (R-OH)

Sunday, November 13th, 2011
Delivering the Weekly Republican Address, Ohio Governor John Kasich talks about how his administration's success closing the largest budget shortfall in Ohio's history without raising taxes offers lessons for Washington. Working together to make tough fiscal choices, remove government barriers to job creation, and institute real, confidence-boosting reforms -- like a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution -- is the focus of Kasich's address. A former chairman of the House Budget Committee, Kasich helped lead the charge for the Balanced Budget Amendment in the mid-1990s, when it came within one vote of heading to the states for ratification. Ohio recently had its credit rating upgraded by Standard & Poor's, which attributed the move to the Buckeye State's budget reforms.

Occupy Wall Street, unions get their activism together

Friday, October 21st, 2011

The Occupy Wall Street protests that began as a nebulous mix of social and economic grievances are becoming more politically organized ? with help from some of the country?s largest labor unions.

Presidential candidate Perry proposes a flat tax

Thursday, October 20th, 2011

Texas Gov. Rick Perry is making a bold grab for the conservative heart of the GOP with his decision to propose a flat tax as a core component of his economic recovery plan.

A flat tax has been an elusive dream of conservative Republicans for decades, occasionally springing up on the fringes of presidential campaigns, most recently in Steve Forbes?s White House runs in 1996 and 2000.

Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) delivers this week's address, detailing government regulations that cost private-sector jobs and impede economic growth. This fall, as part of the House Republican Plan for America's Job Creators, the House will continue working on legislation to stop excessive and unreasonable regulations.

Bush led his opponent, former Vice President Al Gore, by 537 votes when the Florida Supreme Court ordered state officials to continue a manual recount of votes cast. Bush immediately filed an application in the U.S. Supreme Court asking it to halt the recount.

Will New Hampshire blow up the nomination calendar?

Wednesday, October 19th, 2011

LAS VEGAS ? The Republican presidential candidates broke camp here Wednesday morning after their rowdy debate the night before and left behind some unfinished business: Will Nevada or New Hampshire blink in their increasingly nasty dispute over the 2012 primary and caucus calendar?

Several Republican candidates have vowed not to participate in Nevada?s GOP caucuses, now set for Jan. 14. They have declared solidarity with New Hampshire, whose secretary of state, William Gardner, has been demanding that Nevada move its caucuses or his state?s first-in-the-nation primary could be pushed into this coming December.

Pentagon lawyer warns of militarized approach to counterterrorism

Wednesday, October 19th, 2011

The Pentagon?s general counsel warned Tuesday against the ?over-militarization? of the country?s approach to counterterrorism and said Congress should avoid micro-managing how terrorist suspects are detained and prosecuted.

?There is risk in permitting and expecting the U.S. military to extend its powerful reach into areas traditionally reserved for civilian law enforcement in this country,? Jeh Johnson said in a speech at the Heritage Foundation. ?The military should not and cannot be the only answer.?

Why Herman Cain can’t be president

Wednesday, October 19th, 2011

There's a lot to like about Herman Cain. He's funny and personable. He's a great American success story. His 9-9-9 tax plan may be half-baked, but the concept behind the plan -- replace the corporate income tax with in effect a consumption tax -- has a lot to recommend it. (Although, the plan has a lot of problems, too.) Finally, in a political cycle that has seen too many coded racial attacks on President Obama and his family, it's a source of great pride to me to see an African-American topping my party's polls.

Mike Lee looks to carve a niche on the campaign trail

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

Mike Lee is anything but patient.

One year into his tenure as the Senate?s youngest member, the 40-year-old Utah Republican has been busily trying to carve out a conservative niche on Capitol Hill and wade into Senate primaries across the country, offering his endorsement to like-minded candidates.

That playbook sounds familiar: The Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call asked in an article last week whether Lee is ?the new Jim DeMint,? and Lee acknowledges that comparing him to the high-profile South Carolina Republican made some sense.

Weekly Republican Address 9/3/11: Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA)

Monday, October 17th, 2011
Congressman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) delivers the Weekly Republican Address, focusing on working toward a balanced budget amendment to the US Constitution. It's common sense that our government should live within its means and the only way to permanently force the federal government to do this is to pass a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. The future of our country and economic prosperity depend on it.

What?s the future for Facebook revolutions?

Monday, October 17th, 2011

About this blog: Was Egypt?s winter revolution a theatrical performance on the stage of Tahrir Square? In some respects, it was, says Jeffrey C. Alexander in his new book ?Performative Revolution in Egypt,? published last month by Bloomsbury. Alexander, a professor of sociology at Yale and author of ?The Performance of Politics: Obama?s Victory and the Democratic Struggle for Power,? examines the revolution and argues that in the square the protesters created a microcosm of the democacy they hoped to bring to Egypt. It was this political drama, Alexander says, that ultimately swayed the army and ushered in radical change at the top. Mixed into the drama was the power of communications in the Internet age, with many dubbing the Egyptian revolt a Facebook revolution. Here, Alexander assesses the impact of social networks on the outcome in Egypt and the role of the Internet in future potential uprisings.

Occupy Wall Street protests continue worldwide

Monday, October 17th, 2011

LONDON ? Inspired by the Occupy Wall Street protests that began in New York, protesters here entered a second day of demonstrations Sunday as they reiterated their anger at the global financial system, corporate greed and government cutbacks.

Rallies rippled across the globe on Saturday as more than 900 cities in Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America took part in the worldwide demonstration, including Washington, Toronto, Denver, and Chicago, where more than 175 people were arrested early Sunday for failing to leave a park after it closed.

Weekly Republican Address 7/23/11: Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX)

Sunday, October 16th, 2011
In this week's address, House Republican Conference Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) outlines the Cut, Cap and Balance Act passed in the House of Representatives this week. It is designed to cut wasteful government spending, cap future spending and put in place a Balanced Budget Amendment to ensure a prosperous economic future for our children and grandchildren. It is the only viable plan that will spur job creation in our country without raising taxes on the American people. The president and Senate Democrats have failed to come up with their own plans to save our economy. It's time for them to stand with the American people and House Republicans to get our fiscal house in order.

Weekly Republican Address 8/20/11: Gov. John Kasich (R-OH)

Sunday, October 16th, 2011
Delivering the Weekly Republican Address, Ohio Governor John Kasich talks about how his administration's success closing the largest budget shortfall in Ohio's history without raising taxes offers lessons for Washington. Working together to make tough fiscal choices, remove government barriers to job creation, and institute real, confidence-boosting reforms -- like a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution -- is the focus of Kasich's address. A former chairman of the House Budget Committee, Kasich helped lead the charge for the Balanced Budget Amendment in the mid-1990s, when it came within one vote of heading to the states for ratification. Ohio recently had its credit rating upgraded by Standard & Poor's, which attributed the move to the Buckeye State's budget reforms.

Mitt Romney has spent $12 million of $14.2 million he raised

Rick Perry calls for increased oil and energy production to reboot U.S. economy

Saturday, October 15th, 2011

WEST MIFFLIN, Pa. ? Texas Gov. Rick Perry laid out a plan that he said would increase domestic energy production and create jobs in a speech Friday that is the start of an attempt to reboot his struggling presidential campaign.

His proposals on energy, which broke little new ground, reflected the Republican view that increased domestic production of natural gas and oil is necessary to revive the U.S. economy and that the Obama administration is limiting drilling and exploration because they are too tied to environmental groups.

Saturday, October 15th, 2011
House Republicans gather after their weekly Conference meeting to discuss the problems and fears they're hearing from small businesses and job creators. Republicans continue to listen to the American people by fighting against tax increases and burdensome regulations which hurt the economy and job creators. House Republicans have passed numerous jobs bills and are waiting for the Senate to do the same. This week the House will take up another jobs bill, the TRAIN Act to ensure that the Environmental Protection Agency will consider the cost on jobs in America.

E-mails show more officials were concerned about Solyndra loan

Friday, October 14th, 2011

Concerns that it might be illegal to let private investors recover their money before taxpayers if Solyndra went bankrupt were more widespread within the Obama administration than previously known, documents released on Friday show.

As Energy Department officials moved toward restructuring a half-billion dollar loan to Solyndra in February, the chief financial officer at the Treasury Department?s Federal Financing Bank wrote to them questioning plans to put taxpayers second in line for repayment. The official, Gary Burner, urged the agency to seek legal advice from the Justice Department.

The roots of American disunity

Friday, October 14th, 2011

About this blog: Americans fight such nasty political battles that it makes one wonder how a people of common beliefs can plunge to such depths. Colin Woodard may have the answer. As he shows in his new book, ?American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America,? published last month by Viking, we never really were a people of common beliefs but rather always a disparate group representing dissimilar cultures. As a result, inhabitants of different regions will have sharply different views of American values. Hence, battlelines are drawn. Here, Woodard explains that it is important to understand the origins of our differences.

What?s the future for Facebook revolutions?

Friday, October 14th, 2011

About this blog: Was Egypt?s winter revolution a theatrical performance on the stage of Tahrir Square? In some respects, it was, says Jeffrey C. Alexander in his new book ?Performative Revolution in Egypt,? published last month by Bloomsbury. Alexander, a professor of sociology at Yale and author of ?The Performance of Politics: Obama?s Victory and the Democratic Struggle for Power,? examines the revolution and argues that in the square the protesters created a microcosm of the democacy they hoped to bring to Egypt. It was this political drama, Alexander says, that ultimately swayed the army and ushered in radical change at the top. Mixed into the drama was the power of communications in the Internet age, with many dubbing the Egyptian revolt a Facebook revolution. Here, Alexander assesses the impact of social networks on the outcome in Egypt and the role of the Internet in future potential uprisings.

A quarter of millionaires in the United States pay a smaller share of their income in federal taxes than many middle-class families, according to a new congressional analysis that offers fresh support for President Obama?s push to raise taxes on the nation?s wealthiest households.

The report, by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, found that when all federal taxes are taken into account ? including those on wages, investment income and corporate profits ? some households earning more than $1 million a year paid as little as 24 percent of their income to the Internal Revenue Service in 2006.

Why some Democrats oppose Obama?s jobs bill

Wednesday, October 12th, 2011

Not long before the Senate voted to block his $447 billion jobs package on Tuesday, President Obama described the impending roll call as a ?moment of truth.?

He meant for Republicans, whom he blames for quashing his attempts to improve the economy and who voted as a bloc against the plan.

But he could also have been talking about those moderate Democrats who face reelection fights next year, and who will be deciding in the coming months how closely to ally themselves to a president who is sinking in the polls.

So what?s the goal of our being in Iraq again?

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

It?s time to take a cold look at what U.S. goals in Iraq should be.

After some 4,470 U.S. military deaths, 33,000 wounded and almost $800 billion spent in the past eight years, there should be greater clarity about what the United States hopes to accomplish, even in the next 12 months.

When U.S. combat troops leave by the end of this year, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq James Jeffrey will be in charge of some 11,000 diplomats, aid workers, military and civilian contract trainers, and more than 5,000 private security personnel. The salaries and programs will cost U.S. taxpayers at least another $5 billion.

Gaga for Obama and other celebrity endorsements

Monday, October 10th, 2011

Hard to say who got more attention at Sunday?s Democratic fundraiser in Northern California: President Obama or Lady Gaga.

Gaga (who has 13?million Twitter followers ? 3?million more than the president) sat front and center during his remarks; ABC reports she asked him what he could do to prevent teenage bullying.
