Fox News excludes Rand in head to head polling against Hillary Clinton

It's on page 20. They polled just about every other Republican verses Clinton, including candidates who aren't polling high at all such as Fiorina and John Kasich. This is outrageous but to be expected. Rand did the best against Hillary in their poll last time, so they had to exclude him this time. We're just going to have to expect more of this throughout the entire campaign.

I saw the segment earlier on Fox's Special Report w/ Bret Baier and the hatchet job was to show Rand polling at 7% because Carson just got his post announcement bump which much of his support is transferable to and from Rand. They either didn't poll Rand against Hillary which doesn't make sense, so instead they found out what normally happens (Rand polls highest against Hillary than any other republican) and decided they wouldn't include it in the news segment so they could only show Bush eeking Hillary out rather than Rand too. Very dirty.

Rand Paul Appears on The Situation Room w/ Wolf Blitzer - May 13, 2015

Rand talks about how ousting dictators gives rise to radical islam and then mentions how polls in some blue states have him edging out Hillary, something that is rarely mentioned. He needs to drive this point in every interview because no news outlet is going to do it for him.

Not here in the spec forum, most of the 'newb' posters are all the same tired tripe from the chil porn fiend we all detest so much. The posting MOs are so obvious.

LOL, the troll is climaxing over and over while using past socks in addition to newer ones. Pretty entertaining adding a few newer ones to the ignore list now as I did earlier today. If trolly put as much effort into their life as it does on this forum, they'd probably be fairly successful.

Hillary's Super PAC to openly violate FEC regulations by coordinating directly with campaign

Clinton's newest super PAC ally, Correct the Record, is spinning off from American Bridge, another super PAC that formed four years ago and that conducts opposition research on Republican presidential hopefuls. Correct the Record, which has been serving as a rapid-response team to defend Clinton since November 2013, is being recast as an independent super PAC that will continue to serve as “a political research and communications war room,” the group said Tuesday.

What’s unusual is that Correct the Record plans to coordinate with the Clinton campaign and potentially other federal campaigns and Democratic party committees – something that quickly drew skepticism from watchdogs who find it difficult to see how the group can function without running afoul of campaign finance laws. Those laws are designed to prevent committees that collect big-dollar contributions from having direct contact with campaigns.

Jeb Bush Annoying Conservatives Again By Not Promising To Never Raise Taxes

Unlike most of the other Republican 2016 hopefuls, Jeb Bush has pointedly refused to rule out raising taxes on the wealthy, opening up another divide between the ex-Florida governor and conservatives in his party.Americans for Tax Reform, an influential conservative group, has for more than two decades circulated a pledge in which candidates commit to opposing any net tax increase. Most Republican members of Congress have signed it, as have more than a dozen GOP governors and about 1000 state legislators, according to ATR.

Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas have signed the pledge as presidential candidates over the last few weeks. They have committed, in the words of the agreement, to oppose "any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rate for individuals and business" and "any net reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates."

Sen. Rand Paul Visits Secret Room To Read Obamatrade, Calls For Public Release Of Deal Text

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)—an opponent of the secretive Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) that would fast-track the Pacific Rim trade deal Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP)—went inside the secret room inside the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday morning to read the TPP text and told Breitbart News exclusively afterwards that he believes President Barack Obama should make it public now.

The deal’s text is kept in a room behind double doors that each have signs: “No Public Or Media Beyond This Point.”

“It’s done like you’re going in to read a classified briefing though it’s not actually ‘classified.’ It’s called ‘confidential,’” Paul said in an interview with Breitbart News outside the room after reading it. Paul and his legal staff spent about 45 minutes in the room reading the deal’s text.
...
When asked for some of the details that are inside the TPP agreement, Paul said he’s not allowed to tell us that. But he did say the secret trade deal that his Kentucky colleague, Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), wants to rush through the Senate is about 800 pages long. He added he plans to seek additional information from the U.S. Trade Representative’s office—including a briefing from them—and suspects that the text he read isn’t even the final version of the deal.

“I think I am not supposed to reveal the details of it, but I can tell you it was about 800 pages long,” Paul said.

"I think while we’ve gotten at least some headway in understanding what’s in it, I think it raises more questions that will require more research to fully understand what’s in it. We’re going to pursue that with someone from the U.S. Trade Representative—we’re going to pursue more information from them. Some of the questions are whether we’re seeing the final agreement or this is in the interim agreement before the final agreement. That’s a question we still have. I have a feeling that what we’re seeing is a work product, not a final."
...
Paul said he thinks the secretive process makes it look like the government has “something to hide” and that he thinks if Obama opened up the process it’d make it easier for several Senators—and the American people—to truly understand what it is they’re voting on.
...
Paul, a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, stands alongside most of the rest of the field in opposition to Obamatrade. Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina compared the secretive process to Obamacare’s passage in the early days of this president’s administration. Dr. Ben Carson also called for more transparency, as did Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is concerned with the deal’s impacts on American workers.

On the other side, Sens. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) are in favor of the deal—even though it’s unclear if either has, like Paul now has, visited the secret room to read the text. Both could. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry are also in favor of the deal, but wouldn’t be allowed through the doors to read it.

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the emerging conservative kingmaker and the leading intellectual conservative in Congress, has made an identical call to what Paul has for more transparency from the Obama administration.

Sessions, in a “critical alert” his office issued publicly and to other members on Capitol Hill before the recently-failed votes to begin debate on TPA fast track authority, listed out five “questions the White House will not answer.”

Good grief, 4+ socks in one thread. What a very unique and unhealthy individual. What gets me is how some people can authentically think that these are random newbs making posts when the MO is all the same w/ all the old tired pics and shit.

These blast from the past threads are always interesting but this one takes the cake since it finally puts an end to the perception of Kwuky's mentality. It totally makes sense why the dude is batshit crazy and jealous as hell these days. No vision is no vision.

It's not even worth lending at this point, I've stopped the fools' gold trade. Let me know if you want a swap on bfx and we'll do terms.

Sock challenging another sock of what their sock is saying. It's all crystal clear at this moment what is going on in this thread. Peep it, yall!

I say it is quite shameful that numb nut sock puppy who posted the Nirvana baby pick isn't already struck from the record and similarly the person that quoted this dirtbag. Let's have some discretion here and we know putty putz won't help the cause.

Agreed, you're sitting pretty well now considering you didn't get caught up in the ASIC crapshow of 2013. That pre-order round was a major learning exp but it did take a haircut off many of us back then. Yep, I fell for it too but have long recovered from the stupidity/learning curve.

Not necessarily, places like Africa and North Korea (among others) would beg to differ. However, I would presume that those outside the US would be shocked by the sheer numbers of people on the dole in such an alleged free and prosperous country, plus the resulting irresponsibility of said people. Getting a quick meal for the family at the local fast food joint on the dollar menu is part of the problem as well. Furthermore, me and my extended family and friends that are footing the bill for this, in addition to many other similar dynamics across the country, are appalled by this when we keep decent health and weight yet those we're forced to 'help' do not.

The same can be said for my Gov Snider that had over a billion dollars in a surplus, and while there was some responsible cuts, overall there's been a major pension tax increase that (raised lots of money) many retirees despise and for good reason. Furthermore, this surplus just vanished somehow and then they sicced us w/ a ballot initiative to raise the sales tax 16% which we just murdered. My point is that Walker (because of his good record dealing w/ the teacher unions like Christie) is being used by the insider money to throw him into this race because he is perceived as a good conservative yet he still has the same foreign and civil liberty policies as Bush and thus is initially stealing polling %s/supporters and money from other anti-establishment candidates like Paul and Cruz to a lesser extent.

True but food stamps come on a debit card these days and no longer the paper, embarrassing food stamps like they were when I worked the register over ten years ago. And, you can buy whatever you want at the supermarket including alcohol, tobacco and all the carb foods you can imagine. You can also use them at casinos and strip joints just to complete the picture. In full, those at the lower end of the spectrum, both financially and intelligently, tend to purchase garbage foods w/ free money that is rebooted every month ad infinitum. Nothing else going on in your life or you're on alleged hard times, comfort food is at your finger tips.

The head of U.S. Cyber Command said Monday that the ability of ISIS to recruit adherents online is "a trend that is clearly increasing, not decreasing" and that the terror group's ideology is "increasingly resonating" with Americans.

Adm. Mike Rogers, director of the National Security Agency, also said that the terror group's recent efforts to use cyber capabilities as a weapons system rather than only for recruiting and spreading ideology is a "great concern" to the NSA.

My bs meter is pegging. Pure propaganda to build a justification for doing anything in the name of defeating 'ISIS'. As per usual, there's likely some down and out nobodies that are feelin the isis bunk and those are the ones that the NSA should be focusing all attention on and nothing more.

More than 46 million Americans are on food stamps — officially known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)  — and 4 in 10 of them are obese, according to a study just put out by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The study analyzed National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 2007-2010, looking at the eating habits of SNAP recipients and comparing them with those of people who qualified for the benefits but did not take them and those who did not qualify. It found that SNAP recipients were more likely to be overweight and obese than the other two groups. On average, households received $275 in SNAP benefits per month (or $133 per person).

According to the study, among all Americans, 29 percent are overweight and 31 percent are obese. But 40 percent of SNAP recipients were found to be obese. And adult SNAP recipients were less likely to have a healthy weight than non-recipients, and were more likely to be obese.

Something like this happened in Detroit last year. Everyone of these little parasites should be charged w/ aggravated assault w/ the intent to murder and the local NAACP should pay the tab plus heavy restitution. I sure as hell wouldn't have addressed any of these punks w/o a shotgun in hand and my .40 cal lodged in my Miami Classic II under one shoulder and 2 extra clips under the other.
