The legislation, Senate Bill 193, would relax vote thresholds for minor parties to be recognized by the state, and it would push back the deadline for parties to submit paperwork for a general election. Senator Bill Seitz, the Cincinnati Republican sponsoring the bill, has said the legislation is needed as state rules governing minor parties have been in limbo since a federal court held in 2006 that they were overly restrictive. Since then, the state has continued to recognize four minor parties: the Libertarians, the Green Party, the Constitution Party, and the Socialist Party. Seitz said on the Senate floor that new rules are needed to ensure recognized political parties have some proof of support. He said the current situation is like the "wild, wild West. "Obviously, if you are in one of those minor parties, you probably would like that current lawless state of affairs to continue, because you get to stay on the ballot without demonstrating any modicum of public support," Seitz said. "I don't think that's appropriate public policy, and that's why we drafted Senate Bill 193." The American Civil Liberties Union is raising concerns along with third parties in Ohio, telling lawmakers that the proposals' petition requirements are onerous and the changes come too close to Ohio's 2014 statewide elections. Libertarian and Green party officials renewed complaints that the reforms would make it extremely difficult for them to participate in next year’s elections, and that the leglislation effectively "bans" their party from the 2014 election. witnessing the death throes of the GOP... The lie_____detector2013-12-05 21:51:36witnessing the death throes of the GOP... The Last Days of the GOP We could be witnessing the death throes of the Republican Party I once wrote about lobbying, and this week I called some Republicans I used to talk to (and some that they recommended I talk to) about the effect the shutdown is having on the Republican Party in Washington. The response I got was fear of Republican decline and loathing of the Tea Party: One lobbyist and former Hill staffer lamented the “fall of the national party,” another the rise of “suburban revolutionaries,” and another of “people alienated from business, from everything.” There is a growing fear among Washington Republicans that the party, which has lost two national elections in a row, is headed for history’s dustbin. And I believe that they are right to worry. What is happening in the Republican Party today is reminiscent of what happened to the Democrats in the late 1960s and early 1970s. At that time, the Democrats in Washington were faced by a grassroots revolt from the new left over the war in Vietnam and from the white South over the party’s support for civil rights. It took the Democrats over two decades to do undo the damage—to create a party coalition that united the leadership in Washington with the base and that was capable of winning national elections. The Republicans could be facing a similar split between their base and their Washington leadership, and it could cripple them not just in the 2014 and 2016 elections, but for decades to come. GOP surrender roundup: Sadness, woe and conserva lie_____detector2013-12-05 21:50:08GOP surrender roundup: Sadness, woe and conservative civil war John Boehner may have decided that he'd rather not plunge the United States into default quite just yet, but the true believers? They're mad. Really, really mad. A roundup of arsonist reactions: Speaker Pelosi Part 2: Opening Jan 5. 2015 — @DRUDGE Rush Limbaugh on Wednesday blasted the Republican Party as “irrelevant” and responsible for “creating one of the greatest political disasters” he’s ever seen. “I was trying to think earlier today, if ever in my life I could remember any major political party being so irrelevant,” the conservative radio host said on his show, according to a transcript. “I have never seen it. I have never seen a major political party simply occupy placeholders, as the Republican Party is doing.”

Rush says the party still refuses to offer "serious opposition" to Obama, again claiming that this is because Obama is black. Hardliner and actual CNN contributor Erick Erickson, or maybe he's not there anymore because who the hell watches CNN these days:
I am tired of funding Republicans who campaign against Obamacare then refuse to fight. It’s time to find a new batch of Republicans to actually practice what the current crop preaches. The Tea Party Nation is very, very sad:
Barack Obama demanded unconditional surrender from the Republican Party. He pretty much got it. […] In short, the GOP got nothing from their fight. But then again, McConnell, Boehner and the GOP establishment never tried.

 FreedomWorks: "The line separating the Democrats and the Republican establishment is fading- it might have disappeared today." — @philipaklein 
 But House conservatives like Raul Labrador know what the real problem with their plan was. It's the fault of that damn meddling media for saying House Republicans wanted to repeal Obamacare instead of calmly explaining that the Republicans merely wanted to reasonably exchange defunding or delaying the law in exchange for allowing the federal government to continue to function. Demographics Killing Off the Religious Right.... lie_____detector2013-12-05 21:49:42Demographics Killing Off the Religious Right..... Religious progressives are on the rise. Are we facing down the end of the conservative death grip on religion in America? It's true that religious progressives have always been a part of the conversation—it's not just Republican politicians who pay fealty to God in their public speeches and appearances—but by and large, when faith is discussed in public forums, it's almost always religious conservatives using it as a cudgel to attack women's rights, gay rights, and secularism. That may be changing, however, as the numbers of religious progressives are on the rise, according to the Public Religion Research Institute. In fact, for people ages 18-33, religious progressives outnumber religious conservatives. According to the survey, 23 percent of people aged 18 to 33 are religious progressives, while 22 percent are nonreligious and 17 percent are religious conservatives. By contrast, only 12 percent of those aged 66 to 88 are religious progressives, whereas 47 percent are said to be religious conservatives. I'm sure religious conservatives had a hunch that they were losing young people long before this polling data confirmed it, just by looking at the people sitting in their pews. Evangelical leaders have been fretting about this loss for a couple of years now, and it's an open secret that the youngest generation finds the reactionary politics and hostility toward science that marks religious conservatism to be repulsive. Some of the kids fleeing the flock just end up having no religious beliefs at all, but some clearly want to retain a connection to faith without having to sign off on the anti-feminism, homophobia, and creationism that comes with the more conservative churches. Virginia governor's race showed a GOP near colla lie_____detector2013-12-05 21:48:42Virginia governor's race showed a GOP near collapse. Democratic nominee Terry McAuliffe now has a 12-point lead over Republican nutbag Ken Cuccinelli, 51-39. Dems lead in both the lieutenant governor and attorney general races. And importantly for down-ballot races, the Democratic Party has a favorability rating of 50-48, compared to a woeful 32-65 for Republicans. I noted all that yesterday. But there's more. Democratic conventional wisdom was that they needed to win white working-class Reagan Democrats to win elections, particularly in purple states like Virginia. There was also the obsession with winning independents (with both groups overlapping a great deal). So of course, the way to win those groups was by crapping on liberals. Yet McAuliffe has run an explicitly socially liberal campaign: from marriage equality, to expanded abortion rights, to cap and trade, to an assault weapons ban. This was supposed to be anathema in Virginia, especially the gun stuff. Meanwhile, Cuccinelli has been running a muscularly teabaggy campaign, giving conservatives everything they've ever hoped for. And a funny thing happened: Independents went from 35 percent for McAuliffe to 47 percent over the last month. Cuccinelli's support dropped among indies, from 39 to 36 percent. McAuliffe also maintains a 58-34 lead among women, 85-12 among non-whites, 56-38 in Northern Virginia, 49-40 in the rest of Virginia, 51-40 among seniors, 52-38 among those under 50. Cuccinelli? He's winning whites 47-42. The path to victory no longer runs through Reagan Democrats. Or conservatism. lax I LOVE ALL MY MONEY § ObamasTwat2013-12-05 21:47:48unkGOP Congressional Candidate Switches Parties, Sa lie_____detector2013-12-05 21:46:57GOP Congressional Candidate Switches Parties, Saying Hate Has No Home in Representation Congressional candidate and Army veteran Jason Thigpen was formerly a Republican, seeking election to the U.S. House in North Carolina’s 3rd Congressional District, running against Republican Representative Walter Jones. But Thigpen switched parties yesterday. He is now running as a Democrat. Thigpen said, “Enough is enough. After discussing it with my wife and family, I’ve decided to run as a Democrat rather than a Republican. I simply cannot stand with a Party where its most extreme element promote hate and division amongst people.” Thigpen says he’s received a lot of support from other North Carolina Republicans, and that the vast majority of Republicans don’t agree with these “radical nut-jobs”. Thigpen, an Army veteran who received a Purple Heart, is not impressed with his past party’s efforts to steal the right to vote from Democrats, “I didn’t go to war to defend the liberties and freedoms of one Party, race, sex, or one income class of Americans. Whether white, black, Hispanic, Asian, man, woman, gay, lesbian, straight, rich, or poor – we fought together as equals, side-by-side for the benefit of every American in the same. So, to come home from serving our country and see North Carolina legislators using their super-majority status to gerrymander districts and pass a law to deliberately suppress and oppress the voting rights of Democrats but more specifically minorities and college students, is absolutely deplorable.” The final straw was the Republican shutdown, which Thigpen notes was “real patriotic”. He said, “Shutting down the government was seemingly easy for our elected Representatives, as they’re not adversely affected with their pay being protected by the Constitution. They were some real patriots though, huh? These so called Representatives sat around in Washington playing chicken with their constituent’s lives all while patting each other on the back saying ‘great job.’ Yeah that’s real patriotic all right.” Whatever motivated Thigpen, the country needs more Republicans standing up to their party’s hatred and saying no more.

Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) warned in a speech Tuesday that the problem of banks considered "too big to fail" has only gotten worse since the 2008 financial crisis, potentially sowing the seeds of a future crisis. "Today, the four biggest banks are 30 percent larger than they were five years ago. And the five largest banks now hold more than half of the total banking assets in the country," Warren said in a keynote address at a conference on the future of financial reform put on by the Roosevelt Institute, a think tank. "Who would have thought five years ago, after we witnessed firsthand the dangers of an overly concentrated financial system, that the 'too big to fail' problem would only have gotten worse?" Warren urged the passage of a new Glass-Steagall Act that would separate commercial and investment banking. The Depression-era legislation was repealed in 1999 with huge bipartisan majorities, allowing depository institutions to undertake riskier securities trading. Warren, along with Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) have called to revive the legislation, but it stands little chance of passing. In her speech, Warren urged those who oversee bank rules to set a timeline to address the problem of bank concentration. She has previously shamed bank regulators for their poor performance, asking them in congressional hearings to recount the last time they took a Wall Street bank to trial. "Treasury Secretary Jack Lew recently said that if 'too big to fail' is still a problem at the end of the year, it might be time to consider other options. I applaud Secretary Lew for laying out a timeline, and I’d like to see other administration officials and regulators follow suit," she said. "If Dodd-Frank gives the regulators the tools to end 'too big to fail,' great -- end 'too big to fail.' But if the regulators won’t end 'too big to fail,' then Congress must act to protect our economy and prevent future crises." "I am confident David can beat Goliath on 'too big to fail,'" she said. "We just have to pick up the slingshot again." unkYOU TELL YOUR BUDDY I SAID FUCK YOU § STFU_ObamasTwat2013-12-05 21:45:56unkRick Santorum Hits Chris Christie, Ted Cruz Fo lie_____detector2013-12-05 21:45:43Rick Santorum Hits Chris Christie, Ted Cruz Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) jabbed New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) -- both seen as potential 2016 presidential candidates -- during a stop in Iowa. Santorum spoke with reporters in West Des Moines while promoting "The Christmas Candle," the first movie from his company EchoLight Studios. When asked about Christie's 2016 chances, Santorum wouldn't comment directly on the Garden State governor, but he did say conservative voters can "do a pretty good job" at analyzing what Republican lawmakers "will fight for." “What they’ve fought for and what they haven’t fought for are good indicators of what they will fight for,” Santorum said, according to the Des Moines Register. “All that is fair game and one thing I know is the people of Iowa do a pretty good job analyzing it.” Santorum's not the first Republican to downplay Christie's recent gubernatorial win as a positive sign for 2016. Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) have also downplayed Christie's success. While in Iowa, Santorum also laughed off a question about Cruz, noting that there were a series of frontrunners -- including himself -- for the GOP nomination in 2012 before Mitt Romney was eventually chosen to run. "I just sort of roll my eyes and say, 'I have been there,'" Santorum said. "A lot of things can happen between now and then. I am a very patient man, as are the people of this country." Santorum has criticized Cruz before, saying in October the Texas Senator "did more harm" than good with his attempt to defund the Affordable Care Act. Santorum, who fought for the GOP nomination in the 2012 election, has said he's "open" to a 2016 presidential run. sacI like how a poll that says half the young peopl Point2013-12-05 21:45:20no longer support Obama because majority want him recalled.LOL!
