Turning The Ballot Box Against Republicans

I saw that same article in my Facebook feed, I was going to post it here, then noticed the date on the article was 2013.

When did this happen?

GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee argued that blacks do not have the right to be US citizens

Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee argued on Wednesday that the 1857 Supreme Court ruling which declared that blacks did not have a right to be citizens was "still the law of the land" even though the 14th Amendment overturned it.

During an interview with radio host Michael Medved that was obtained by BuzzFeed, the former Arkansas governor complained that he had been "drilled by TV hosts" after claiming that Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis did not have an obligation to issue same-sex marriage licenses because the Supreme Court's recent decision on marriage equality was not "the law of the land" until lawmakers codified it with legislation.

As we reported last month, Courser — who, like Gamrat, has close ties to the Tea Party movement — was caught on tape planning to circulate an anonymous email containing a rumor about himself that he'd engaged in sex with a male prostitute.

The plan, according to the recording between Courser and an aide who was subsequently fired, was that the email wouldn't be believed because of his conservative credentials and because Courser was married and had a family.

The false rumor would help "inoculate" Courser from the charges of an affair with Gamrat, according to the tape.

The AP says: "The self-smear email called Courser a 'bi-sexual porn addicted sex deviant' and 'gun toting Bible thumping ... freak' and Gamrat a 'tramp.' "

In a May 19 conversation with aide Ben Graham, Courser, who has acknowledged the authenticity of the recording, is heard to say: "In a controlled burn, you do a little bit of truth mixed in with a lot of lies."

On Thursday, a special House committee recommended the expulsion of both freshmen tea party legislators, who had based legislation on their Christian beliefs and clashed with GOP leadership even before the controversy broke.

We need a president who understands what leadership is," she told the crowds. "Leadership is not about how big your position or your title is, it's not about how big your office is, it's not about how big your airplane, your helicopter, or your ego is. Leadership is about service."

Fiorina also called the upcoming CNN debate at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California an "opportunity to introduce myself to all the people who don't yet know me." She

DENVER (AP) -- Jeb Bush went to Detroit and talked about leveling the playing field. Marco Rubio wrote a book about helping the working class. Rand Paul is promising to expand the Republican Party beyond its traditional base.

Yet all three Republican presidential candidates have offered tax proposals that would, for reasons such as nomination politics and tax rate realities, benefit overwhelmingly the wealthiest.

In doing so, they have drawn criticism from Democrats who call it proof that the GOP's eventual nominee will mainly try to help the rich.

Even some conservatives expressed concerns after Bush released his proposed tax cut this past week. Then there was the analysis Thursday from the Washington-based Tax Foundation that concluded his plan would initially help the top 1 percent of earners 10 times as much as it would those in the bottom 10 percent.

every time I catch you in a lie I am going to point it out right away.
