New START Treaty by Political Beat Staff

This Treaty is rooted in a practice that dates back to Ronald Reagan. The idea is simple – as the two nations with over 90 percent of the world’s nuclear weapons, the United States and Russia have a responsibility to work together to reduce our arsenals. And to ensure that our national security is protected, the United States has an interest in tracking Russia’s nuclear arsenal through a verification effort that puts U.S. inspectors on the ground. As President Reagan said when he signed a nuclear arms treaty with the Soviet Union in 1987, “Trust, but verify.”

START TREATY

on nuclear security, and decades of bipartisanship on this issue. Our security and our position in the world are at stake. Indeed, since the Reagan years, every President has pursued a negotiated, verified, arms reduction treaty. And every time that these treaties have been reviewed by the Senate, they have passed with over 85 votes. Bipartisan support for New START could not be stronger. It has been endorsed by Republicans from the Reagan Administration and both Bush Administrations – including Colin Powell, George Shultz, Jim Baker, and Henry Kissinger. And it was approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by a strong bipartisan vote of 14-4. Over the last several months, several questions have been asked about New START, and we have answered every single one. Some have asked whether it will limit our missile defense – it will not. Some, including Senator Jon Kyl, have asked that we modernize our nuclear infrastructure for the 21st century – we are doing so, and plan to invest at least $85 billion in that effort over the next ten years – a significant increase from the Bush Administration. Finally, some make no argument against the Treaty – they just ask for more time. But remember this: it has already been 11 months since we’ve had inspectors in Russia, and every day that goes by without ratification is a day that we lose confidence in our understanding of Russia’s nuclear weapons. If the Senate doesn’t act this year – after six months, 18 hearings, and nearly a thousand questions answered – it would have to start over from scratch in January. The choice is clear: a failure to ratify New START would be a dangerous gamble with America’s national security, setting back our understanding of Russia’s nuclear weapons, as well as our leadership in the world. That is not what the American people sent us to Washington to do. There is enough gridlock, enough bickering. If there is one issue that should unite us – as Republicans and Democrats – it should be our national security. Some things are bigger than politics. As Republican Dick Lugar said the other day, “Every Senator has an obligation in the national security interest to take a stand, to do his or her duty.” Senator Lugar is right. And if the Senate passes this treaty, it will not be an achievement for Democrats or Republicans – it will be a win for America.

see no evidence of corruption," said Blake Chisam, the top ethics committee lawyer, about Rangel. Chisam's statement was in response to questioning by Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.). Butterfield is serving on the eight-member panel hearing the Rangel case. "Do I believe that based on the record that Congressman Rangel took steps to benefit himself based on his position in Congress? No. I believe that the congressman, quite frankly, was overzealous in many of the things he did. And sloppy in his personal finances."

: Alabama QB Greg McElroy

On the football field, Greg McElroy is known for his leadership, efficiency, , decision-making and winning. Last year, he led Alabama to an undefeated season and a national championship. He led Alabama to 19 victories before he suffered his first loss. His arm is stronger than analyst say. Greg McElroy is on pace to set a school record of throwing for 2,900 yards. He is on pace to the schools touchdown record for passes which is 19. Greg McElroy is also a tough athlete that played with cracked ribs in a 37-21 victory over Texas that gave Alabama the 2009 national championship. McElroy has said that "I deal with competitions on a weekly basis," and "Unfortunately, they're not as grueling as this one may be, from a mental standpoint. "I'm really looking forward to it, though. It's been such a great ride, and Alabama's been such a special place for me, and just being able to represent the school, I think that's probably the best opportunity about it. ... Hopefully I'll be able to go up there and represent us to the best of my ability, and hopefully if we keep our fingers crossed, I'll be able to walk away being able to call myself a Rhodes Scholar." McElroy has earned a degree in 3 years. Regardless of intelligence, that’s a great accomplishment when considering that during the same time he’s playing college football. If that’s not enough Greg plans on attaining his Masters Degree while at Alabama. Greg McElroy has definitely proven that he is an all around athlete on and off the field.

CONGRESS

TAX HIKE AND SPENDING by John Boehner Congressman John Boehner released the following column highlighting Republicans new governing agenda, "A Pledge to America," which calls for stopping the looming tax hikes, cutting government spending, and helping end economic uncertainty that is keeping small businesses in America from growing and hiring:

The American People Have Spoken: It’s Time to Stop the Tax Hikes and End the Spending Spree in Washington "As lawmakers return to Washington for a so-called 'lame duck' session before Thanksgiving, they must make an important decision: will they listen to the will of the American people? "A clear message has been sent by the American people. Fed up with all the ‘stimulus’ spending sprees, the takeovers and bailouts of the last 22 months, Americans have repudiated Washington, repudiated big government, and repudiated a tax-and-spend agenda that is killing American jobs. "The new Congress will be sworn into office in January, with a new majority in the House that will focus on a new governing agenda emphasizing job creation and spending cuts. In the meantime, current representatives have an obligation to listen to the American people and work together to help get our economy back on track. "One of the first tests lies in stopping the looming tax hikes that are scheduled to hit every American family and business on January 1, 2011. We can’t balance the budget without cutting spending and achieving real economic growth – and we won’t have real economic growth if we raise taxes on small businesses and families. "Speaker Pelosi and her allies just don’t get it. They are supporting a plan that the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation says will raise taxes on 50 percent of the small business income in America. For many employers across the country, this tax hike would come at the worst possible time. "Recently I received a letter from Jim, a small business operator in Fairfield. 14

The Political Beat Iron Bowl 2010


PB Jim says that unless the looming tax hikes are stopped, he’ll be unable to hire new employees or give raises to those who already work for him. "Unfortunately, Congress’ failure to date to stop these tax hikes from hitting small business owners like Jim – and virtually every family across the country – is just the latest example of Washington doing what’s best for Washington. Soon that will begin to change. "While continuing to fight for the priorities of the American people today, Republicans are preparing for the new Congress where we will move forward with a new agenda that hasn’t been tried before in Washington, by Democrats or Republicans. "This new governing blueprint – our Pledge to America – contains a series of steps that can be taken immediately to boost our economy and return power in Congress to the people. "It starts with cutting spending instead of increasing it. We’re ready to cut spending to pre-‘stimulus,’ pre-bailout levels, saving taxpayers $100 billion almost immediately. And we’re ready to put in place strict budget caps that limit spending from here on out. "It continues with reducing the size of government. We have a plan to repeal the president’s job-killing health care law and replace it with common-sense reforms that will lower health care costs instead of killing jobs and driving our country deeper into debt. "And equally important, it makes Congress more open and accountable. We will make it easier to cut spending, require bills to be published publicly for 72 hours before Congress votes, and end the practice of using ‘comprehensive’ bills to lump together issues that have nothing to do with each other. "The American people deserve a Congress that listens and responds to their will. If there is anything to be learned from this month’s elections, it’s that the people want a smaller, more accountable, and less costly government. "Stopping the looming tax hikes, cutting spending and helping end all the economic uncertainty in America that is keeping small businesses from creating new jobs is a great place to start.

COMENTARY

It’s The Constitution, Stupid! By Pete Riehm Mobile Free Press

The 1992 Clinton Campaign motto was “It’s the economy, stupid!” A pointed but effective strategy, it focused everyone on real and perceived economic woes until the electorate was convinced to throw out an otherwise popular president. Again, some pundits over simplify current voter anger as frustration with a bad economy, so otherwise good politicians will unfairly lose their jobs by a vengeful electorate. Others think we are seeing the typical ebb and flow of politics, so when the Democrat tide goes out a Republican flood is inevitable. This is not a Republican wave. Ask establishment Republicans in Alaska, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Utah, and other places, where voter outrage has handily ousted big government loving career politicians. Republicans may at least have recognized the popular groundswell, but most do not understand it. Eager to harness this unbridled election enthusiasm, they worry the beast will run away with them. Democrats spent a year denying a popular movement even existed. Whenever they did acknowledge the throngs at the capital gates, they decried it as artificial grassroots, “Astroturf” per Pelosi. Mired in partisan politics, Democrats demonize the Tea Parties has fringe crazies with not so subtle Nazi like comparisons. In a desperate attempt to avoid electoral disaster, they are trying to cast the Republicans as extremists infected by the Tea Party. Once again, the press has failed. There has been little or no coverage of literally thousands of events across the country. They occasionally seek out the single kook in any crowd and then paint the Tea Parties in broad strokes of intolerance, xenophobia, and racism. Since the Tea Parties started, all politicians have been suspicious of the unwashed masses that freely and spontaneously assemble. Quite happy to leave all the accusations and slander unchallenged and the truth undiscovered, the press has no curiosity about the real motivations of angered average Americans. It is not the economy, the war, or the environment. And, it’s certainly not whether Democrats or Republicans win. It’s the Constitution, stupid! 22

The Political Beat Iron Boowl 2010


COMENTARY Millions of Americans are getting our seminal document and READING IT! Obvious to anyone that bothers to read the Constitution, our Congress has grossly exceeded the enumerated powers in Article 1, Section 8. Our founders enshrined self-government with local control and a heavily restrained federal government because they knew the oppressive dangers of a strong central regime. Congress passes innumerable laws with ever more creative ways to confiscate the fruits of our labor. They demand our money to ostensibly care for our needs, but like mafia dons they dole it out to favored groups or only after coerced state and local concessions. We no longer work for our interests but are forced to pay tribute to a tyrannical government inimical to American values. Too strong? Congress forces education curriculum contrary to common morals and absent American history. They pile on tax laws to ensure they can find anyone in violation on a whim. And now, they will tell us how and where to purchase health care and then ration it. The administration routinely skirts Constitutional checks and balances by appointing bureaucratic Czars beyond Congressional accountability. The EPA without law tells us our every breath (CO2) is pollution seeking to control every aspect of our lives. The IRS is commanded to scrutinize Veterans organizations seeking to rescind their non-profit status. Is this what the founders intended? Is this what we fought for? More and more Americans are realizing the answer is NO! None of this nonsense is Constitutional. Americans led by the Tea Parties are discovering the erosion of our Constitutional rights is directly proportional to the growth of out of control government by both Democrats and Republicans for the past century. If you are still skeptical, listen to the politicians; they talk about money and programs. The people talk about rights and the Constitution. The electoral wave heading to Washington is both wide and deep, sweeping both parties and seeking to dismantle the federal leviathan threatening our republic.
