In the end…The NSA is goona keep doing what they are doing…

Posted by on June 17, 2013 No comments

The media (and this place ) has detailed some of the stuff the NSA is doing , but we don’t know ALL the stuff they are into….Congress members are taking exception to the NSA actions but the ones doing so are NOT the leaders of the committee’s that are SOLIDLY behind the programs….

There where House and Senate Amendments to change things last week….They got deep six-ed ten minutes later…..

Personally, I don’t think the Supreme’s are gonna touch this with a ten foot pole….

Even THEY dodn’t want be holding the bag is something goes down and the NSA says ‘well we where told to stop listening….”

Daily Kos Elections Morning Digest 6/17/13: How Art Pope killed public funding for judicial elections in NC

Posted by on June 17, 2013 1 comment

Jordan, as it turns out, owed his office to Pope, who funded his first campaign in 2010 with over $100,000, so he probably should have expected to get this offer he couldn’t refuse, whatever it may have been. A sad day indeed for North Carolina….

Political Roundup for June 14, 2013…NJ Court backs Christie Oct Senate Election date…RedRacing Horses

Posted by on June 14, 2013 No comments

In a 3-0 decision, a panel of the NJ Supreme Court has upheld Christie’s decision to schedule the Senate special for October 16, instead of concurrent with the November Gubernatorial election. The decision is a boon to Republicans who now have a chance to shunt Dem turnout away from the Gubernatorial (and more importantly, legislative) races.

Political Roundup for June 13th, 2013…Gomez STILL trails in th double digits…Red Racing Horses

Posted by on June 13, 2013 2 comments

Massachusetts: Another poll shows Gabriel Gomez behind in his Senate race against Rep. Ed Markey, this time 49-37 from Harper Polling (Of course, that is not the message the Markey campaign is messaging to donors). Nevertheless, a Super PAC, Americans for Progressive Action (the names people think up!), is dropping $700k in ads for Gomez in the homestretch.

Daily Kos Elections Morning Digest 6/13/13: Gabe Gomez may finally get some outside help

Posted by on June 13, 2013 No comments

…..Gomez has a new ad out that takes the very hackneyed “fake attacks” route, with a narrator intoning with faux horror: “Gabriel Gomez is a very bad man. He kills old people. He hates women. He even leaves the toilet seat up.” Weak stuff, and there’s no word on the size of the buy.

Political Roundup for June 12, 2013…Democrats rise Up for Markey in Mass…Red Racing Horses

Posted by on June 12, 2013 No comments

MA-Sen: National Republicans have largely stayed out of this race, even as National Dems have engaged heavily. Sort of like last cycle’s OR-1 special, I’m inclined to mark that as a win, for this race being a cash sink for National Dems.

On Financial Reform, Dodd-Frank and the Banks Getting THEIR Way….

Posted by on June 11, 2013 1 comment

You win the modern financial-regulation game by filing the most motions, attending the most hearings, giving the most money to the most politicians and, above all, by keeping at it, day after day, year after fiscal year, until stealing is legal again. “It’s like a scorched-earth policy,” says Michael Greenberger, a former regulator who was heavily involved with the drafting of Dodd-Frank. “It requires constant combat. And it never, ever ends.”
