McConnell's Loophole to Make NRSC More Powerful than PACs and Campaigns

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has a problem. The political organization he sits at the head of, designed to protect incumbent Republican senators, is losing power. And so, in this year’s omnibus spending bill, which is considered “must pass” in order to keep the government running, he plans to give the National Republican Senatorial Committee and other party-aligned groups even more extraordinary privileges in the political process.

McConnell is preparing to attach a rider that would eliminate all coordination limits for the National Republican Senatorial Committee and other national party committees run by Washington insiders, such as the Republican National Committee and National Republican Congressional Committee. McConnell’s ploy would give party groups an incredible leg up over outside organizations that are barred from coordinating with candidates.

Should there be any coordination or giving limits? Of course not. It’s all unconstitutional. But what McConnell proposes is no principled reform. McConnell is abusing the legislative process to protect his diminishing political power.

He needs to be removed, too. And back to removing Paul Ryan. He is a very smart man - but his best place is in the financial relm. He is just another Boehner- beginning to look worse. And I'm so disgusted with him.

I think the jury is still out on Ryan, at least in my opinion, he had moved to the Boner wing of the party but has started drifting back to the right. I'm not sure how far right he will go but looking forward to seeing it. The Rep that lead the charge against Boehner stated in a recent interview he was very happy with how thing where changing in the house. So he too see the move right and is optimistic based on direction.

We will see in the fullness of time.

God Bless America

Is John McCain in Trouble From Kelli Ward Next Year?

Ward has some big time help from the consultant firm Axiom Strategies, which is owned by Ted Cruz campaign manager Jeff Rowe.

Perhaps more disturbing for McCain than the money question is the dip hes seen in his poll numbers at home. A little more than two months ago a Gravis poll had McCain losing to Ward by nine points. (Five months earlier most of the state had no idea who she was.) Further, his favorability rating had sagged from being in the sixties in 2008 to 41% this summer. Thats not lethal territory for a long time incumbent but its got to be a troubling sign.

But if you want the truth about his bias: Newly released documents revealed that Sen. Levin and Sen. McCain both urged the IRS to target conservative groups in the wake of the Citizens United decision.
