Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face. Ronald Reagan

The conservative movement in Minnesota is on life support -- or so the common wisdom goes. Lots of folks predict that the elections will pull the plug. So why is conservative activist Annette Meeks brimming with optimism? She is launching a new organization, the Freedom Foundation of Minnesota, to lead the movement's charge into the future -- and she believes that the future is bright. Is Meeks whistling in the dark? After all, liberals dominate the Minnesota Legislature and the state's constitutional offices, while our center-right governor held on by his fingernails in the 2006 elections. "I'll bet there are more Minnesotans who call themselves conservative, libertarian or free market today than in 1980, when Ronald Reagan was elected president," Meeks responded. "But people are dispirited because they conflate election cycles with the health of the conservative movement, and they get their news from the Chinese water torture -- the steady drip, drip -- of the liberal media. The conservative movement transcends that. It's a vision of personal responsibility, economic freedom and limited government."

Mitt Romney - How Liberal

Mitt Romney or Obama, which is the most liberal? Based on Romney as Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney was more liberal than Obama! Wow! How So?

Romney gave us Romney Care, which Obama care was patterned after. A tie on that issue. Pushing the abortion issue? Both Mitt and Obama governed aggressively pushing the pro abortion agenda. Raising Taxes. Romney did more to raise taxes in Mass than Obama has done. Romney more liberal on that point.
Pushing the Gay Marriage agenda. Romney did more to push and implement the legalization of Gay Marriage in Massachusetts and more than anyone else in the nation to push that agenda. Unfortunately, Romney wins the contest as being more liberal than Obama. Mitt it does not matter how much you say you are conservative, your actions as Governor were profoundly liberal. Good Mormons strongly have Biblical moral values, are pro life, pro family, and pro marriage. Romney has been major disappointment to those who believe in family values, and is liberal like Obama. Still not convinced? See the documentation for yourself at

between the lines Joseph Farah - - Don't be fooled by Romney

By Joseph Farah

Mitt Romney has one chance to become president of the United States. Because of his wealth and his political machine on the ground in early primary states, he has a chance to win the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, picking up momentum that could ultimately deliver him the Republican nomination. Therefore, consider this an open letter to the good folks of Iowa and New Hampshire: Don't be fooled by this political chameleon, this charlatan, this pretender to the throne. He's as phony as a three-dollar campaign promise. Romney has tried to "re-invent" himself as a presidential candidate following his years as governor of Massachusetts. But when a politician has a record of governance by which to judge him, as Romney does, that should serve as the real test of values, beliefs and abilities — not empty words that actually contradict his actions.

For instance, Romney today claims to be pro-life. Yet he ran for governor as a staunch supporter of abortion on demand. He claims today to be a supporter of traditional marriage and an opponent of same-sex marriage. Yet, as governor of Massachusetts, he did more than any other person alive in the United States to ensure same-sex marriage would be the law of the land in his state.

How?

When the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ordered the state Legislature to write a new law permitting same-sex marriages, Romney, the governor, the chief executive of the state's government, fell all over himself to do something that was not required of him — issuing homosexual marriage licenses. Not only did this action reveal his gutlessness and lack of knowledge of the separation of powers in our system of government, it also suggests he is merely masquerading as someone committed to defending marriage as an institution between one man and one woman. Then there is another key constitutional issue — a real litmus test for anyone who claims to support freedom. Today he claims to be a champion of the Second Amendment, a proud member of the National Rifle Association. Yet, he supported President Clinton's draconian 1994 gun ban, boasting to the Boston Herald: "That's not going to make me the hero of the NRA. I don't line up with a lot of special interest groups."

More recently, just five years ago, as governor he signed into law what is described by some as one of the toughest assault-weapons laws in the country. Romney is one of those politicians — not unlike Hillary Rodham Clinton and her husband — who will do anything and say anything to get elected. That's what certain politicians believe is more important than principle — getting themselves elected. There's no question he's ambitious. But his ambition to become president is based on his ability to fool the electorate, particularly Republican voters, into believing he is something he is not.

I strongly urge the American electorate, especially the key voters in New Hampshire and Iowa, to take that pledge with me. I know the pickings are slim among the leading Republican candidates for president. I know the best and most qualified men running — people like Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter — have not made significant showings in the polls. I know Rudy Giuliani and John McCain are both equally unacceptable as alternatives. New Hampshire voters and Iowa Republican activists have a special responsibility to make wise choices. Their decisions can have profound impact on the choices the rest of us have in 2008. Don't be fooled by Mitt Romney.

Rick Santorum - Candidate Information

He is Catholic, and normally voted conservative in US Senate, especially on pro life, and was very supportive of the policies of President George Bush.

Endorsement of liberal Alan Spector.
Rick Santorum's greatest disappoint to conservatives, was his endorsement and his campaign appearances for liberal Senator Alan Spector in 2004, over the very conservative Congressman. Conservative voters were angry, and in 2006 they voted out Rick Sanatorum by a 18 point margin in his re-election bid, while this brought down 4 Republican congress in defeat also. George W. Bush and his buddy Senator Rick Santorum threw pro-life Congressman Pat Toomey right under the bus when they both campaigned for the very pro-abortion Senator Arlen Spector. Let's see, "pro-life" Bush and Santorum backed a screaming pro-abort when they had the chance to help true-blue friend of the unborn, Patrick Toomey get elected.


In a losing battle Big Pharma's largest election expenditure, half a million dollars, was spent on Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) in 2006 who promised to preserve the Medicare scam, whereas his opponent, Bob Casey Jr., regularly attacked Medicare Part D as a giveaway to Big Pharma. Santorum has been on the Big Pharma payroll for some time, previously receiving over $250,000. In addition to helping pass Medicare Part D, he has aggressively lobbied other Senators to prevent re-importation of U.S. drugs at cheaper prices from Canada and Europe. It was a sad day in the Big Pharma camp to see Santorum bite the dust. Expect to see Big Pharma help re-inflate his sails for a presidential run.

One of Bush's best friends, Big Pharma, did everything it could to help him out. It poured in over 8 million dollars to the campaign coffers of those in close races and those it needs help from in the coming months. Big Pharma was particularly concerned about the election outcome, as its Bush-granted Medicare gravy train was at stake. Under the Part D arrangement no negotiation for drug prices to Medicare participants is allowed. This gives Big Pharma billions of dollars of inflated profits at American taxpayer expense. It has been well documented that Big Pharma bought this legislation in the first place, showing that politics in America is not a process for the people but a process for the elite. Many Democrats have threatened to reverse the Big Pharma windfall, while many Republicans like Orinn Hatch (R-UT) have sought to protect it. Rick Santorum http://www.newswithviews.com/Richards/byron14.htm

Rick Santorum - Conservative Alternative?

Rick Santorum - Pro Life?

To his credit, Rick Santorum has a mostly pro life and pro family voting record. But recently received only a 78% conservative voting record as US Senator. Rating of a D, on illegal immigration from Numbers USA.
Supported Patriot Act, which increased Federal intrusion into our lives and agrees with Obama that invading Libya does not need Congressional approval despite the fact the Constitution is clear on the point, "Congress shall have power to declare war".

Santorum voted to raise the debt ceiling a half dozen times. In comparison to Mitt Romney and others, Santorum has been consistently more conservative than many of the candidates. Santorum has been a solid pro life Catholic on moral issues, but not as much on fiscal or Constitutional issues.


Santorum has proposed a $250,000 cap on the amount victims of medical malpractice can sue their doctors for. Yet his wife sought twice that much from a chiropractor she said treated her negligently. "The court proceedings are a personal family matter," said Mr. Privacy Rights, in answer to queries from reporters.

Supports allowing President ability to wage war, without congressional approval. How about the Obama invasion of Libya without congressional approval. 7) "We have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, chemical weapons." -- Santorum in a June 21 press conference.
"[A] senior Defense Department official pointed out that the chemical weapons were not in useable condition. 'This does not reflect a capacity that was built up after 1991,' the official said, adding the munitions 'are not the WMDs this country and the rest of the world believed Iraq had, and not the WMDs for which this country went to war.'" -- FOX News, reporting on Santorum's claims, which were based on long-buried shells left over from the early 1990s. Rick Santorum http://www.pittsburghcitypaper.ws/pittsburgh/top-20-reasons-to-vote-against-rick-santorum/Content?oid=1334340

Rick Santorum - Who's the Most Anti-Reagan Candidate in 2012?

Though he is a populist critic of Big Government, Santorum shows no interest in defining principled limits on political power. His first priority is to make government pro-family, not to make it small. He has no use for a constitutional (or, as far as one can tell, moral) right to privacy, which he regards as a "constitutional wrecking ball" that has become inimical to the very principle of the common good. Ditto for the notions of government neutrality and free expression. He does not support a ban on contraception, but he thinks the government has every right to impose one.

The quarrel between virtue and freedom is an ancient and profound one. Santorum's suspicion of liberal individualism has a long pedigree and is not without support in American history. Adams, after all, favored sumptuary laws that would restrict conspicuous consumption in order to promote a virtuous frugality. And Santorum is right to observe that no healthy society is made up of people who view themselves as detached and unencumbered individuals.

"But to move from that sociological truism to the proposition that the family is the fundamental unit of political liberty," says Galston, "goes against the grain of two centuries of American political thought, as first articulated in the Declaration of Independence." With It Takes a Family , Rick Santorum has served notice. The bold new challenge to the Goldwater-Reagan tradition in American politics comes not from the Left, but from the Right.

Thomas Massie 4th District Kentucky Tea Party Candidate for Congress -

Rand Paul and Thomas Massie FRANKFORT, Ky. -- Tea party congressional candidate Thomas Massie could get a public endorsement from his political confidant, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, in Kentucky's crowded 4th District Republican primary race.

Paul's chief of staff, Doug Stafford, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the Kentucky Republican wasn't pleased that incumbent U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis and former U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning endorsed state lawmaker Alecia Webb-Edgington for the job.

"Sen. Paul had decided to stay neutral in the primary in order to keep the playing field level for all the candidates," Stafford said. "But with others seeking to influence the race, Sen. Paul is now reconsidering his decision, and he'll be closely watching the race and how other people participate in it."

Several of Paul's political aides, including Stafford, have been assisting the Massie campaign. One of Paul's former field representatives, Ryan Hogan, is serving as Massie's campaign manager. And Paul's father, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, has endorsed Massie.

Mississippi Tea Party Information Election 2012

Tea Party voters won't blindly rush to a self-described Tea Party candidate, but will rally behind those who have walked the Tea Party talk, said Whit Ayres, co-founder of Resurgent Republic, a group that promotes conservative free-market principles. Ayres governors who have balanced their budgets and cut spending could fare better with Tea Party voters than candidates who simply pushed for such initiatives in Washington. "You'd have to give the edge to any candidate who has a demonstrated record of accomplishment in statewide office," Ayres said.

Tea Party Candidates in New York 2102

New York will elect their tea party candidates in the New York Republican primary. If President George W. Bush set back the Republican Party years, perhaps decades, a politician like Romney, an empty suit with lots of money and good looks, could prove to be the death of the GOP if he should ever be elected president. Today I pledge earnestly and without reservation that I will not vote for Romney under any circumstances, no matter who his opponent might be. That's how bad he is. That's how unacceptable he is as a presidential candidate.

You know, if I listened to Michael Dukakis long enough, I would be convinced we're in an economic downturn and people are homeless and going without food and medical attention and that we've got to do something about the unemployed. Ronald Reagan

Stop Patriot Act Extension - Intrusion into our Private Lives

The USA PATRIOT Act

The USA PATRIOT Act broadly expands law enforcement's surveillance and investigative powers and represents one of the most significant threats to civil liberties, privacy and democratic traditions in U.S. history.

What is PATRIOT?

The USA PATRIOT Act (officially the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act) was quickly developed as anti-terrorism legislation in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks. The large and complex law received little Congressional oversight and debate, and was signed into law by President Bush Oct. 26, 2001.

PATRIOT gives sweeping search and surveillance to domestic law enforcement and foreign intelligence agencies and eliminates checks and balances that previously gave courts the opportunity to ensure that those powers were not abused. PATRIOT and follow-up legislation now in development threaten the basic rights of millions of Americans.

What should I do?

Tell Congress to protect Americans' privacy and free speech rights.

Does The Patriot Act Trump The Constitution? - Bob Barr

Two days ago, I testified before a subcommittee of the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee. The topic was the USA PATRIOT Act; and specifically, provisions of the law set to expire at the end of this month. The most problematic of these provisions allows the government to gain access to a person's private records and other "things," in the hands of a third party, if sought for an investigation involving terrorism or foreign intelligence. This would include, for example, a person's medical records, financial records, school records, business records, travel records, etc.

Currently, under the PATRIOT Act, the government can access this private information or other items, without any showing whatsoever that there is a suspicion (much less, "probable cause") that the person whose privacy the government seeks to violate, has committed any offense or is associated in any way with a suspected terrorist or even an associate of a known or suspected terrorist.

Among the other powers that will be sun-setted unless Congress re-authorizes them, is the ability currently enjoyed by the government to secure so-called "roving" wiretaps on phones without even having to provide either the name of the person to be electronically surveilled or the precise location of the phone(s) to be tapped. Such "John Doe" roving wiretaps could subject entirely innocent third parties to having their phone(s) surveilled.

My testimony was essentially to either: (1) permit the three sun-setted provisions to expire because they are not essential to the government's ability to investigate, uncover and prosecute allegations of terrorist activity; or (2) at least limit them to bring them into accord with the Constitution. This would mean simply requiring the government to show minimal evidence that there is at least some suspected link between the person against whom the government is seeking to access private information, and suspected unlawful activity or association with a terrorist or terrorist organization (or a suspected such person or organization).

Predictably, the Republican members on the subcommittee present at the hearing indicated no willingness whatsoever to place any limitations at all on these expansive and, I believe, unconstitutional provisions of the PATRIOT Act, that permit the government to violate a citizen's privacy and gain access to possibly their most private of records, by doing nothing more than telling a judge that the government needs the information because it is "relevant" to some investigation.

Many Members of Congress talk a good game of supporting civil liberties, our right to privacy, and the Constitution itself; but they are more than willing to allow those liberties to be trumped in the name of "fighting terrorism." To them, there is a footnote to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights that says those limitations on government power do not apply if the government says it is "fighting terrorism."

It is funny though — no copy of the Constitution I have been able to find includes such a footnote.
By Bob Barr — The Barr Code - http://blogs.ajc.com/bob-barr-blog/2011/05/13/does-the-patriot-act-trump-the-constitution/
