House GOP Releases 'Commitment to America' Platform — And Then Takes It Offline
https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/house-g ... 19855.html

House Republicans are apparently set to announce a policy platform that criticizes Democrats’ popular prescription drug cost reductions and opens the door to Social Security and Medicare cuts, according to a document that leaked online Wednesday.

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) was supposed to announce the party’s “Commitment to America” on Friday, but instead, a multi-page document bearing that name briefly appeared online Wednesday on McCarthy’s website. Approximately an hour after New York Times reporter Annie Karni tweeted it out, the part of McCarthy’s site with the document was locked down and accessible only with a password.

[snip]

The GOP document promises to “fight inflation and curb the cost of living,” but the only policies it proposes are federal government spending cuts. It also promises to cut taxes, which could increase inflation, and government regulations.

The platform also promises to “save and strengthen Social Security and Medicare,” but lists no policies to do so. In June, Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee held a roundtable on Social Security where they discussed policies that would reduce coverage and cut benefits to seniors. The Republican Study Committee, a bloc of conservative House GOP lawmakers, included a plan to massively slash Social Security in its proposed 2023 budget.

It also criticizes a provision in Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act that cut the price of some prescription drugs for Medicare patients, calling it a “drug takeover scheme” that “could lead to 135 fewer lifesaving treatments and cures.” Alongside this criticism comes a promise to “invest in lifesaving cures.”

While GOP candidates have sought to avoid talking about their position on abortion following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the platform promises to “protect the lives of unborn children and their mothers.”

A section on elections and voting rights nods to former President Donald Trump’s election lies by stating that there is a “crisis among voters who have lost faith in our elections.” It then promises to enact new restrictions on voter access including mandating voter ID, loosening rules on voter roll purges and increasing access for observers during elections.

The platform is intended to recall the “Contract with America” proposed by former Speaker Newt Gingrich ahead of the 1994 elections as a list of promises of what Republicans would do if they won control of Congress for the first time in 50 years.

Where Gingrich’s contract included a list of 10 bills that he promised would get floor votes, the only piece of legislation directly mentioned in McCarthy’s Commitment is a Parental Bill of Rights the party rolled out following a ginned-up controversy over the teaching of so-called critical race theory. McCarthy’s platform also includes more socio-cultural policy issues than Gingrich’s, which focused heavily on supply-side economic policies, government reform and changes to the government’s welfare program.

[snip]

The House platform follows a similar set of policy prescriptions released by Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), the head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Scott’s platform called for cuts to Social Security and Medicare, increasing taxes on the poorest Americans, the completion of a U.S.-Mexico border wall and various hot-button socio-cultural issues. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has distanced himself from Scott’s platform.

Busted Commitment my ass.

Texas AG Literally Ran to Avoid Getting Subpoenaed in Abortion Lawsuit

TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL Ken Paxton used his wife as a getaway driver while fleeing his McKinney, Texas, home in an attempt to avoid being served a subpoena related to an abortion lawsuit.

In a sworn affidavit obtained by the Texas Tribune, process server Ernesto Martin Herrera testified that after arriving at Paxton’s home and seeing Paxton through the doorway, Martin Herrera was told by his wife, State Sen. Angela Paxton, that the attorney general “was on the phone” and to leave his card. He then went back to his car and waited.

And he wont lose a single vote.

This is why I keep saying America is broken, Texas AG is a vile scumbag and criminal.

In a decent society he could not get any votes outside of his own family and friends. But in our society he is loved BECAUSE he is a scumbag.

These are the actions of a criminal class, not good, decent public servants.

Playing the victim card and constantly whining is a part of conservative culture. Just look at the cons in these parts.

Fear based ops also work well at manipulating them.

And their hatred of self-education makes them vulnerable to propagandists and other ideological predators.

Listening to the nazi Roger Stone who said he doesn't cheat, it is us who cheat. I actually, sincerely, laughed out loud which I almost never do anymore when I heard that just now.

Board cons would have to laugh also, they know we dont cheat and they do, they KNOW that :lol:

Alabama GOP chairman used fake voter ID in last couple of elections

Alabama GOP Chairman John Wahl has made news over the last year or so for being a classic moral and legal hypocrite. Being an Alabama Republican, Wahl has spent most of his political mouthpiece time trying to promote all things Donald Trump, but all things Donald Trump is synonymous with all things Republican at this point. One of those things that Republicans champion beyond almost all else is voter suppression laws. Laws like forcing all registered voters to have a voter ID. The reason they do this is in order to help shave off majority rule in elections. The reason they want to get rid of majority rule in a democracy is because the Republican Party does not represent the majority of Americans. It only represents the billionaire class.

Being the Alabama GOP chairman, Wahl is a big supporter of voter ID laws. It is this fact that made a story about retired TVA supervisor at a power plant, Clyde Martin—who had been fired from being a volunteer poll worker—gain traction. Martin was relieved of his duties shortly after asking Wahl and his family to present their proper voter identifications. In Alabama, a proper ID means federally issued or state-issued identification like a passport, driver’s license, military ID, or college student ID. Wahl’s excuse at the time was that he and his family have a religious exemption. “Amish, Mennonites, and other Anabaptists are well known for their concerns about pictures or the way pictures are used. They are definitely not normal in our modern culture, but they shouldn’t be attacked or discriminated against for choosing a different lifestyle.”

Here's my issue on this what has The GOP done on these issues for years zero they don't care on any of them The Democrats do

Debates show Republicans focused on economy and turning abortion back on Democrats

Political debates between opposing candidates ramped up this past week, and if you were hoping for substantive policy contrasts, you must not have watched a debate in the past few decades.

TV long ago turned debates into sound-bite-heavy posturing sessions, and so if you want to know what a candidate might do in office or get an accurate read on what they’ve done in the past, you’re better off reading about it.

Is the violent crime rate higher in Oklahoma or New York? A governor's debate raises the question

An exchange during Wednesday night’s Oklahoma gubernatorial debate underscored some common misperceptions about crime in the United States.

In the race, which polling shows to be surprisingly competitive for the conservative state, Democrat Joy Hofmeister addressed incumbent Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt during the pair’s lone scheduled debate.

China reaffirms President Xi Jinping’s dominance, removes Premier Li Keqiang

BEIJING (AP) — China’s ruling Communist Party reaffirmed President Xi Jinping’s continued dominance in running the nation Saturday, one day ahead of giving him a widely expected third five-year term as leader.

A party congress effectively removed Premier Li Keqiang from senior leadership. Li, the nation’s No. 2 official, is a proponent of market-oriented reforms, which are in contrast to Xi’s moves to expand state control over the economy.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Two right-wing conspiracy theorists who placed thousands of robocalls with false information to largely minority and Democratic voters in Cleveland in the months before the November 2020 election pleaded guilty on Monday to a felony charge.

Jacob Wohl, 24, of Irvine, California, and Jack Burkman, 56, of Arlington, Virginia, face a maximum of a year in prison after they pleaded guilty to a fifth-degree felony charge of telecommunications fraud.

Is Arizona's Kari Lake the most 'dangerous' politician in America?

Kari Lake, the Arizona Republican candidate for governor and former Fox 10 Phoenix news anchor, seems to be everywhere lately.

Earlier this month, the Atlantic declared her “Trumpism’s leading lady,” then spent more than 3,500 words explaining why. The Washington Post elaborated a few days later. “[Lake] has emerged as a Republican phenom by amplifying Donald Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was stolen,” read the subhead of its even longer profile. Last week, Axios went several steps further and reported that top Democratic strategists now believe Lake has the “potential to soar to a vice presidential spot or a post-Trump presidential candidacy.”
