Linda McMahon on Dick Blumenthal's Biggest Lie VIDEO

Dick Blumenthal's Claim: "This settlement will cost Bank of America as much as $8.6 billion, but no cost, not a dime, to taxpayers."

The Facts: Dick Blumenthal let Countrywide and Bank of America off the hook. Taxpayers and public employees pick up the tab. It's his biggest lie yet.

President Obama On GOP: The Empire Is Striking Back!

President Obama, with a coarse voice, warned a crowd in Ohio: "They're fighting back. The empire is striking back. To win this election, they are plowing ten's of millions of dollars into front groups. They are running misleading negative ads all across the country." (Real Clear Politics Video)

Obama Lashes Out! President Obama abandons Hope and Change for Hype and Blame, equating supporters of American Crossroads and the millions of Americans who are rejecting his radical liberal agenda with the “Empire” in Star Wars.

Christine O’Donnell Chris Coons Delaware Senate Debate 10/19/10 VIDEO

Christine O’Donnell Chris Coons Delaware Senate Debate 10/19/10 FULL STREAMING VIDEO. O’Donnell Campaign Statement on Coons' Understanding of the First Amendment.

Wilmington, DE – Matt Moran, campaign manager for Christine O’Donnell, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, today issued the following statement to address the conversation of whether the separation of church and state is stated in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

“Christine O’Donnell was not questioning the concept of separation of church and state as subsequently established by the courts. She simply made the point that the phrase appears nowhere in the Constitution. It was in fact Chris Coons who demonstrated his Constitutional ignorance when he could not name the five freedoms contained in the First Amendment.”

Michelle Malkin posted an article in response to the Liberal Media spin on this topic. Chris Coons can’t name the five freedoms in the First Amendment.

John Kasich leads Ted Strickland in Ohio governor's race 51 - 41 %

October 19, 2010 - Kasich Holds Off Strickland In Ohio Gov Race, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Independent Voters Back Republican Almost 2-1 Republican John Kasich remains in command of the Ohio governor's race with a 51 - 41 percent likely voter lead

over Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland, statistically unchanged from Kasich's 50 - 41 percent edge October 5, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today, two weeks before Election Day.

Kasich's lead is built on a 59 - 32 percent margin among independent likely voters, and a 64 - 29 percent spread among white evangelical Christians, according to the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University survey conducted by live interviewers.

President Barack Obama remains unpopular among Ohio voters who disapprove 56 - 40 percent of the job he is doing and say 32 - 9 percent they are less likely rather than more likely to vote for Strickland because the President is campaigning for the governor. Independent voters say 35 - 4 percent that Obama's campaigning makes them less likely to vote for Strickland.

"John Kasich's lead has remained the same and the sand is slipping through the hour glass. If Gov. Ted Strickland is going to turn this election around, he needs to do it quickly," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "But the obvious question is, 'What can Strickland do in the two weeks before Election Day that he has been unable to do so far?'"

Women voters split with 46 percent for Kasich and 45 percent for Strickland. But Kasich leads 55 - 37 percent among men. Kasich leads among Republicans 91 - 5 percent while Democrats back Strickland 84 - 7 percent.

"Although it is hypothetically possible, it's difficult to see how anyone can win a statewide election when they are getting beat so badly among independents. The race may be a dead heat among women, but it is a landslide among men," said Brown. "President Barack Obama's 63 percent disapproval rating among independent voters is an extremely heavy anchor around Ted Strickland's neck."

Not only is Kasich ahead, but only 8 percent of his supporters say they might change their minds, compared to 12 percent of Strickland's backers.

Strickland is viewed favorably by 43 percent of likely voters, including just 34 percent of independents, and unfavorably by 47 percent. Those numbers are better for the governor, however, than his job approval rating, which shows voters giving him a 54 - 39 percent thumbs down.

Kasich, a former congressman, gets a favorable opinion rating from 47 percent, with an unfavorable score of 33 percent.

"The economy is the defining issue in the race for governor. Strickland holds an overwhelming 89 - 6 percent lead among the likely voters who think the economy is improving, but they make up only 19 percent of the electorate. Kasich dominates the 36 percent who think the economy is getting worse 76 - 13 percent. The 45 percent of voters who think the economy is staying the same back Kasich 50 - 43 percent," said Brown.

Kasich's lead in the horse race is backed up by his 52 - 38 percent lead as the candidate best able to turn around the Ohio economy and his 48 - 40 percent lead as the candidate who most shares voters' values.

"Anything is possible in politics, but if Gov. Strickland is able to pull out a victory it will take the kind of final drive that makes history," said Brown.

From October 12 - 17, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,188 Ohio likely voters, with a margin of error of +/- 2.8 percentage points.

The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public opinion surveys in Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio and the nation as a public service and for research.

Sean Bielat, Fourth District Race Goes Negative, Barney Frank Attacks...Barney Frank! VIDEO

Newton – Sean Bielat, candidate for Massachusetts' Fourth Congressional District, launched his fourth television ad which highlights Barney Frank's record of denying the crisis surrounding failed mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The ad features none of the grainy video, scary, distorted voice overs, or political spin typically associated with hard hitting campaign ads. Instead, the ad, entitled “Same Old Tune”, features a straightforward account of Barney Frank's record in his own words, as he ignores warnings that Fannie and Freddie threatened to collapse the economy.

“We see entities that are fundamentally sound financially,” says Frank, refering to Fannie and Freddie. “And even if they were a problem, the federal government doesn't bail them out.” According to a recent report by the Washington Post, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have received more than $150 billion in taxpayer funded bailouts, and the Congressional Budget Office has said it could be as much as $400 billion before it's all over.

“But you're not going to see the collapse,” says Barney. “Fundamentally, I don't think there is a crisis,” he said in 2006. Of course, the economy did collapse as a result of the housing crisis and unemployment has hovered at or near 10% for more than a year.

“The policies supported by Barney Frank have resulted in millions of people losing their homes and their jobs, and no one has been held accountable”, said Bielat. “Worse, when Barney had an opportunity to enact real reform, he instead made bailouts permanent and let CEOs walk away with billions in bonuses. The people have had enough. It's time for a real change in Washington.”

The ad will run on broadcast and cable television.

"Two debates and two victories for Roy Blunt," said Roy Blunt for U.S. Senate Chairman Ann Wagner. "Roy Blunt showed his command of the issues talking about his detailed plans, solutions and ideas to help create private sector jobs, lower the cost of health care, protect Medicare, produce more American energy and defend the country.

Leader Boehner Pledges Support to Secure Armed Services Seat for Vicky Hartzler

Washington – House Republican Leader John Boehner pledged his support today to secure an assignment on the important House Armed Services Committee for Vicky Hartzler, GOP nominee for Missouri’s Fourth Congressional District. “Vicky Hartzler has my full support for a seat on the House Armed Services Committee,” said House Republican Leader John Boehner.

“America’s warriors and their families need a leader like Vicky Hartzler who listens, understands the challenges they face, and is eager to address them. Vicky also knows that the policies coming out of Washington lately – ‘stimulus’ spending sprees, costly mandates, and government takeovers – have failed our armed services. That’s why I look forward to working with Vicky, the Republican leadership, and the Members of the Steering Committee to place her on the committee at the earliest possible opportunity.”

Missouri’s Fourth Congressional District includes two big military bases: Fort Leonard Wood in Pulaski County and Whiteman Air Force Base, where the 21 original B-2 bombers flew to drop precision-targeted bombs in Afghanistan. Hartzler is dedicated to the preservation of our vital military bases and ensuring that they have the best equipment, latest technology, and proactive leadership that recognizes and funds all possible avenues of threat mitigation, including a strong missile defense. Military veterans make up 14.2 percent of the population of Missouri’s Fourth Congressional District and Hartzler is committed to keeping the support for both the active and retired military a priority. With a seat on the Armed Services Committee, Vicky Hartzler will have the ability to help protect our armed services and oversee any legislation affecting the funding and oversight of our national defense.

He spoke to the Charlottesville Libertarian Examiner about the Tea Party movement, whether the GOP should reach out to libertarians, and what he’s hearing from voters as he campaigns through the district.

‘Wonderful movement’

The Tea Party phenomenon, Smith said, is “a wonderful movement. I think it represents the moms, pops, sons, daughters, uncles, aunts of America. They’re energized -- and energized for a good reason, that America’s going in the wrong direction.”

John Raese Repeal Obamacare VIDEO

By JohnRaese4Senate All Rights Reserved

Besides robbing your family of basic medical care choice, the new Obamacare health plan passed by the Democratic congress is expected to employ thousands of new IRS agents to track down Americans for payment of health care taxes.

The cost of the greatest social spending program in the nation’s history is still under debate, but since the inception of Medicare in 1965 the cost of the program has grown 2.7% faster the economy and should reach 20% of America’s GDP within the decade.

Martha Roby Outpaces incumbent Democrat Bobby Bright in 3rd Quarter Money Chase VIDEO

MONTGOMERY— With a little over two weeks until voters head to the polls Republican Martha Roby outraised incumbent Democrat Bobby Bright by more than $150,000, or 42 percent, in the critical third quarter reporting period of the hotly contested campaign to win Alabama’s Second Congressional District.

Roby raised $363,690 during the period spanning July 1 to September 30, compared to just $209,602 for Bright. The fundraising data, made public tonight as part of required Federal Election Commission filings,

contains all the tell-tale signs that grassroots momentum is solidly swinging towards Roby in the closing weeks of the election.

More than 70 percent of Roby’s donations came from individual donors, while Democrat Bright relied on Washington-based political action committees for nearly 70 percent of all donations to his campaign.

Roby received donations from over 400 individual contributors, while Bright had fewer than 100 individual contributors. Roby raised $188,000 more from individuals than did Bright.

Less than a quarter of Bright’s money was raised in the district.

“The enthusiasm and support we’re receiving from voters all across the Second District has been overwhelming,” Roby said. “I am so grateful for all those that have been willing to stand behind our campaign, to support us with donations, and to make generous offers of time and energy to knock on doors, make phone calls, or contact their friends and neighbors.”

This fundraising victory comes on the heels of several signs of increasing momentum for the Roby campaign. The campaign released a Public Opinion Strategies poll last week showing Roby with a two-point lead, after trailing eight points in July.

In reaction to these developments, respected political pundit Charlie Cook last week moved the Second District contest from “Leans Democrat” to “Toss-Up,” and the Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza moved the race up to 37 from 43 on his weekly list of the 50 House races most likely to switch parties in November.

“Our message is clear and direct: we stand for the Constitution, for limited government, for lower taxes and less regulation—and we’re willing to fight every day to defend those principles so that hard working Americans can get our economy moving again,” Roby said. “It’s hard to say what Nancy Pelosi and Bobby Bright’s Democratic party stands for, except more spending, more debt, and more regulation. And that is exactly what we’ll get so long as they remain in power.”

Democrat Bright previously enjoyed a 6 to 1 cash-on-hand advantage in the race. After Roby’s third quarter effort, which more than doubled her previous quarterly best, Bright’s advantage is reduced to less than 2 to 1.

Congressman Mike Pence Weekly Republican Address TEXT PODCAST VIDEO 10/16/10

Podcast of the address: Download MP3 for PODCAST FULL TEXT TRANSCRIPT BELOW. Video of the address will be available for download here once the embargo is lifted. 6:00 a.m. ET, Saturday, October 16, 2010 || MP4 File || MPEG File ||

In the Weekly Republican Address, House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-IN) calls for immediate enactment of Republicans’ Pledge to America in the face of continued uncertainty surrounding the state of the economy. Rep. Pence talks about how this governing agenda includes clear and positive plans to help create jobs, cut spending, and make Congress more open and accountable. The Pledge offers a new way forward that hasn’t been tried in Washington – an approach focused on ending uncertainty instead of creating more of it and an approach focused on cutting spending instead of accelerating it

“Hello, I’m Mike Pence of Indiana. “These are difficult times in the life of this nation. Families are hurting, American businesses are struggling. In the city and on the farm, the economic policies of this administration have failed.

“Wherever I go, everyday Americans tell me they’re tired of runaway federal spending, bailouts and takeovers.

“And they tell me they’re worried that everything they’ve worked for could someday be gone.

“This week, the world rejoiced as 33 miners emerged safely from months of dark captivity in a deep Chilean mine.

“Today, many Americans feel trapped under the weight of historic spending and government mandates.

“Every day, they see Washington putting our children and grandchildren deeper in a hole of historic debt.

“Something has got to give.

“Today, our national debt stands at more than $13 trillion – that’s more than $44,000 of debt for every man, woman and child in this country.

“The administration promised that if Congress borrowed a trillion dollars from future generations, their ‘stimulus’ bill would keep unemployment below eight percent. Today unemployment remains at a heartbreaking 9.6 percent, making this the longest period that unemployment has been at or above 9.5 percent since the Great Depression.

“In September, the economy lost another 95,000 jobs. More than 14 million Americans are out of work and millions more have just quit looking for a job. The American people know more spending won’t mean more jobs.

“But the president and Democrats in Congress just aren’t listening.

“And to add insult to injury, they want to add a tax increase to their failed economic plans. That’s right. After months of deficit spending and government takeovers, Democrats in Washington want to raise taxes in the worst economy in decades.

“Despite the fact that some in their party were willing to vote to prevent any tax increase, Democrats in Congress chose to leave Washington to try and save their jobs without even allowing a vote to protect the jobs of millions of Americans threatened by higher taxes.

“If Congress fails to act, every American will see a tax increase in less than 100 days. 88 million taxpayers in the lowest bracket will face a minimum tax increase of $503. Middle income families will face an average tax increase of $1,540. And small business owners will face higher taxes on income, capital gains and inheritance.

“You know, Washington, DC, doesn’t tax too little, Washington, DC, spends too much. Raising taxes on job creators won’t create jobs.

“No American should see a tax increase in January and Republicans are determined to oppose any effort to raise taxes on any American in this difficult economy.

“Uncertainty is the enemy of our prosperity. The American people should not have to wait one more day for Congress to act to prevent one of the largest tax increases in American history from taking effect.

“Speaker Nancy Pelosi should call Congress back into session immediately and allow an up-or-down vote on preserving all current tax rates.

“The prosperity of the American people is more important than the political fortunes of any politician or any political party.

“This administration suggests that our choice is between the failed economic policies of the present and the failed economic policies of the past, but there is a better way.

“Last month, I joined my House colleagues at a hardware store in Virginia to unveil our Pledge to America, a specific set of proposals that could be enacted today to start getting federal spending under control and get this economy moving again. The Pledge to America calls on Congress to immediately cut spending back to pre-‘stimulus,’ pre-bailout levels, to refund unspent ‘stimulus’ funds and to preserve and promote the kind of tax relief that will create American jobs.

“We can get federal spending under control and reform Congress. We can let the American people keep more of what they earn and create jobs. We can return our national government to the common sense and common values of the American people.

“You can read more about our agenda at pledge.gop.gov. We will build a stronger and better America.

“Our best days are yet to come. Thanks for listening.”

Dino Rossi Patty Murray Washington Senate Debate VIDEO FULL STREAMING VIDEO. Rossi for Senate Campaign Statement on Spokane Debate. Spokane, WA— Rossi for Senate campaign manager Pat Shortridge made the following statement after the debate between Sen. Patty Murray and U.S. Senate candidate Dino Rossi

“Tonight, Washington voters were presented with a clear choice between continuing with Sen. Murray’s failed policies which have driven up the debt, expanded government, and put our economy in jeopardy, and Dino Rossi’s commonsense policies which will restore fiscal discipline in Washington, D.C. and economic growth in Washington State.

“Dino will go to the U.S. Senate and represent the interests of Washington State, while Sen. Murray leaves Washingtonians wondering whether she represents them or her fellow insiders in Washington, D.C.

“Washington voters are looking for a leader who will work for pro-growth policies to get our economy back on track and put people back to work, and they were reminded tonight that Dino Rossi is that leader. They know he will end the corporate bailouts, special interest earmarks, and insider deal-making that produces fiascos like the health care bill. The debate offered no doubt that Dino is the only choice to bring about the course correction so badly needed in D.C.”

John Dennis Comments on Judge's Ruling Allowing States' Healthcare Suit to Proceed

By Fresh Conservative AttributionNoncommercialShare Alike Some rights reserved

San Francisco, CA -- Today, John Dennis, entrepreneur and candidate for the California 8th Congressional District, issued the following statement on today's court ruling which allows U.S. states to proceed with their lawsuit that seeks to overturn President Barack Obama's landmark healthcare reform law: “While this is only a first step, it's an important ruling to overturn a poorly written and poorly conceived legislation addressing the nation's growing health care costs.

Nancy Pelosi and her Democrat colleagues should pay the political price for ignoring the public and forcing the wrong solution of mandatory health care insurance on Americans who are already burned by Congress’ excessive taxation, failed policies and reckless spending.

"American families are having enough problems keeping food on the table and lights on in their homes. As your next Congressman, I will help our families and small business owners by working to immediately repeal the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. Under Nancy Pelosi’s leadership, Congress has done nothing but take care of their Fat Cat CEO friends in the insurance business and special interest groups that continue to buy their support through campaign donations.

I believe that the courts will eventually conclude that the Pelosi and her colleague's unconstitutionally imposed one the most drastic intrusions into our private lives in recent memory, which will likely increase in health care costs, and generate huge profits for their friends at the big insurance and drug corporations. We need to start over in January with the new 112th Congress and find equitable health care reforms that address and provide reasonable solutions for all Americans.”

O’Donnell Closing in on Opponent in Latest Poll

Christine O’Donnell, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, is now within 11 points of her opponent, New Castle County Executive Chris Coons. It marks a 10-point jump following the debate on Wednesday at the University of Delaware.

“It is clear that as voters become increasingly aware of my opponent’s liberal record of increasing taxes and wasteful spending, they understand the real choice that they face on November 2,” said O’Donnell, who would be seated immediately to fight in the lame duck session should she win the election.

“Does Washington really need another career politician rubber-stamping the radical agenda which has put our country on the wrong track? Delawareans know that we have an opportunity to send a message to Washington -- to stop the tax hikes, the bailouts, the slush funds, and cronyism by returning power to We the People.”

The poll was conducted on Oct. 14 by Rasmussen Reports, and had a very scientific 500 likely voter sample. The results are as follows: 40% Christine O’Donnell 51% Chris Coons 5% Some other candidate 4% Not sure

Chairman Michael Steele Meeting with Charlotte Bergmann to help fire Nancy Pelosi! VIDEO

Chairman Michael Steele Meeting with Charlotte Bergmann to help fire Nancy Pelosi!

Charlotte Bergmann is a fiscal conservative!

Bailouts have to stop. The U.S. government cannot insure every investor against failure. Such spending is bankrupting the country. No business is "too big" to fail. If a company that is providing a necessary service fails, some other private investor who knows how to run a business will buy it, and make it profitable. Every taxpayer bailout devalues the dollar in your wallet or purse! What has our government successfully run? The Post Office is bankrupt, Social Security is bankrupt, Medicare is bankrupt, and most public school systems are broke. The people need jobs! Reducing the tax burden and regulation on small businesses works every time it's tried!

Who is Charles Lollar? VIDEO

Who is Charles Lollar? VIDEO, Who is Charles Lollar? Let the voters of Maryland's 5th Congressional District tell you!

Charles Lollar is a concerned citizen, taxpayer, hard working business executive, Major in the United States Marine Corps Reserves and most importantly a father of four and a devoted husband.

Charles was born in Toppenish, Washington, a sleepy western town boasting a diverse mix of cultures. His father, a tax consultant, instilled in him an old fashioned work ethic while his mother, a librarian, taught him how to be compassionate and caring for his fellow man. Their efforts would prove to be essential to him and have a huge impact on his future.

At the age of 13 Charles delivered newspapers before going to school every morning. He worked his way through both high school and college by bagging groceries, stocking shelves, and selling items door-to-door.

After attending McEachern High School, Charles earned an AA degree from Emory University, a Bachelor's of Science degree in Political Science from Kennesaw University and an MBA from Regent University.

Not surprisingly, his "get up and go" attitude, willingness to work hard and desire to excel in service to others led him to join the one organization that would enable him to achieve all of the above, the United States Marine Corps. Charles proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps where he was on active duty in Kosovo. During his time as an active-duty Marine, he graduated from Officer Candidate School and was awarded several medals and decorations including: the Kosovo Campaign Medal, Navy Unit Commendation, Combat Action Ribbon, and Joint Meritorious Unit Award. Presently, Charles serves as a Major in the Marine Corps Reserves where he is an intelligence officer.

Professionally Charles is the General Manager for Cintas, a facility services corporation with over 23 million dollars in sales. He oversees 170 employees at their Prince George's County, Md. facility, a role which has enabled him to interact extensively with the diverse and varied communities of Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Prince Georges, and St. Mary's County.

Never one to ask of others what he would not do himself, Charles has been active in numerous community organizations. He serves on the Executive Board of Directors for the Maryland Chamber of Commerce and is also a member of the DC Chamber of Commerce. He is a graduate of both Leadership Maryland and Leadership Prince George's County. Charles also served as the Chairman of the Charles County Republican Central Committee and the Chairman of the Maryland GOP Taxpayers Commission where he fought to protect the interests of Maryland taxpayers.

Charles and his wife, Rosha, have been married for sixteen years and reside in Charles County, Md. They are the proud parents of four daughters ranging in age from eleven to fifteen years old. Charles and his family are active members of Trinity Christian Center.

Dr. Marvin Scott Letter from Newt Gingrich

Dear Marvin: I want to wish you the very best on Election Day! The stakes could not be higher for our nation this November. I am sure that your own deep concerns about the enormous challenges facing the families in your area, your state and our country motivated you to make the sacrifices required to run for public office. Thank you for taking your beliefs, values and aspirations into the public square.

I am also very pleased that you share my commitment to transforming government at every level to save America. Creating a new model of how government works is essential to addressing the most critical issues facing our nation today, including taxation, regulation, litigation, health, energy, education, and infrastructure.

Policies you are supporting will not only help transform government but they will also provide lower taxes, less government, and real job creation. Those policies, not the Democrats’ policies of higher taxes, more government and job killing legislation, are what will finally put America back on the road to recovery.

The growing public excitement and support surrounding our policy ideas is why I believe the votes cast on November 2nd have the potential to create a sea-change election, just like 1994!

I ran for office thirteen times myself (two losses followed by eleven straight wins), so I have a pretty good idea of what your life is like right now. These will be days that you look back upon as the most exhilarating and exhausting of your life!

Thank you for the courage you have shown and the sacrifices you and those close to you have already made for our nation. Callista and I wish you all success, on Election Day and in all the exciting days that will follow.

Your friend, Newt Gingrich

Rand Paul Jack Conway Kentucky Senate Debate Fox News Sunday VIDEO TEXT TRANSCRIPT

Rand Paul Jack Conway Kentucky Senate Debate Fox News Sunday VIDEO TEXT TRANSCRIPT

The following is a rush transcript of the October 3, 2010, edition of "Fox News Sunday With Chris Wallace." This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.

CHRIS WALLACE, ANCHOR: I'm Chris Wallace, reporting from Louisville, Kentucky, and this is "Fox News Sunday." The Kentucky Senate showdown -- with 30 days till the election, it's one of the nation's most closely watched races. Republican Rand Paul, one of the original tea party candidates, who opposes government intervention in the private sector, and Democrat Jack Conway, the state's attorney general, who supports much of the Obama agenda -- Paul and Conway, in their only national debate, on "Fox News Sunday."

Then, a key player leaves the White House. We'll ask our Sunday panel what Rahm Emanuel's departure means for the midterms and a president seeking reelection.

And as Mr. Obama tries to whip up the Democratic base and Congress leaves town with plenty of unfinished business, we go "On the Trail," all right now on "Fox News Sunday."

And hello again from Fox News, today on the road in Louisville, Kentucky, the home of the most famous horse race in the world, the iconic Louisville slugger baseball bats, and now one of the hottest Senate races in November.

We are in the studios of WDRB TV, our Fox affiliate here in Louisville, and we're joined by the two contenders for the Kentucky Senate seat, Democrat Jack Conway and Republican Rand Paul.

And, gentlemen, welcome to "Fox News Sunday."

JACK CONWAY, DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR KENTUCKY SENATE SEAT: It's good to be with you.

WALLACE: I'd like to ask each of you to take a minute to lay out what you think is at stake in this race. What is the choice for Kentucky voters?

Dr. Paul, why don't you start?

RAND PAUL, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR KENTUCKY SENATE SEAT: Well, I think I'm very concerned about the debt that we're piling on -- I think mountains and mountains of debt.

I'm concerned about President Obama adding trillions of dollars of entitlement programs.

I'm concerned about the president adding or allowing the largest tax hike in our history.

And I'm concerned about President Obama foisting cap and trade on Kentucky which will be a disaster for our coal jobs.

I think this election really is about the president's agenda. Do you support the president's agenda or do you not support it? I think his agenda's wrong for America. I will stand up against President Obama's agenda. And I think that's what people in Kentucky want.

WALLACE: Attorney General Conway, same question. What's at stake in this race? What's the choice for Kentucky voters?

CONWAY: Well, Chris, welcome to Kentucky. First of all, it's a real clear choice. I think we need to put the people of Kentucky first.

The special interests in Washington have enough people standing up for them. As attorney general, I have stood up for the people of Kentucky. I've taken on pharmaceutical companies when they have lied to our Medicaid program. I have taken on oil companies that have gouged us. I have taken on anyone that would do wrong by the people of Kentucky.

And there's a real clear choice in this race. There's a real clear choice between someone who has taken on the drug issue and someone who says that drugs aren't a pressing issue in Kentucky, someone who stands up to criminals and someone who says that nonviolent behavior shouldn't be a crime, someone who supports the rights of the disabled and someone who has said that he's against the Americans With Disabilities Act, between someone who's going to stand up and protect Medicare and someone who says in Medicare we need a $2,000 deductible. I mean, that's a really clear choice.

WALLACE: Attorney General Conway, you have even gone further than that. On the campaign trail you have called Dr. Paul "crazy." Your campaign ads call him "out of touch." Why?

CONWAY: I just think he's out of touch with the values of mainstream Kentuckians. You know, as Democrats, we need to talk about our values a little more. I think we value inclusivity.

We have 12,000 new disabled vets since 9/11 here in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. And I don't think it's appropriate to stand up and say that you're against the Americans With Disabilities Act in that environment.

I'm not saying Dr. Paul is crazy. I think some of his ideas are out of the mainstream and they're out of touch with the values of normal Kentuckians.

WALLACE: Dr. Paul, quite frankly, you say very little about Attorney General Conway on the campaign trail. You say nothing about him in your ads. Now's your chance, sir.

PAUL: We're waiting for him to catch up a little bit in the polls and then we may refer to him more. But really, he has to -- what he needs to do is he needs to either defend his president or run away. So far he's running away from President Obama and the agenda.

He supports "Obamacare." He supported repealing the tax cuts before he was against it, before he was before it again. Cap and trade, he's been on both sides of the issue. Kentuckians are not going to tolerate someone who's ambivalent on cap and trade. Cap and trade will be a disaster to our economy.

And these are the issues of the day, and these are the things that people want to talk about. People are concerned about jobs and the economy. And if we pass cap and trade, it will be a disaster to Kentucky's economy and to Kentucky jobs.

WALLACE: Let's talk -- and you kind of led in the direction that I wanted to head in this debate. Let's talk about jobs and the economy, which I think we would all agree are the key issues for voters here and across the country.

Unemployment in Kentucky is now 10 percent. In fact, it has been below that figure of 10 percent only one month in the last year and a half.

Attorney General Conway, you say -- and this picks up on what Dr. Paul was saying -- that you would have voted for the stimulus, you would have voted for TARP's $700 billion for Wall Street. And you would have voted for Obama's health care reform.

So if you had been in the Senate the last two years, you would have supported most of President Obama's agenda.

CONWAY: Some of President Obama's agenda. Listen, these are all hypotheticals. I've been attorney general of the Commonwealth of Kentucky the last two years.

The stimulus, a third of it went to tax cuts. No one talks about it. A third of it went to keeping the jobs of police and firefighters. And a third supposedly went to shovel-ready projects where the administration hasn't done that great a job.

Actually, I wouldn't have voted for the bailouts. The bailouts are -- there weren't enough accountability in them. You know? There were not enough accountability in them. We had people getting bonuses after getting the bailouts.

And on health care, look, we've got 654,000 Kentuckians getting health care for the first time as a result of this bill. I have a friend who's had a kidney transplant -- tells me how hard it is to get coverage with a preexisting condition. I'd like to fix health care. I'd like to make it more responsible going forward by allowing Medicare to engage in bulk purchasing.

WALLACE: You actually take me in the direction of the question I wanted to ask Dr. Paul. And incidentally, this is a free-flowing...

CONWAY: Sure.

WALLACE: ... debate. Feel free to talk to each other if you would like to.

Dr. Paul, you say you would have voted against the stimulus. Kentucky has received $2.9 billion, almost $3 billion, in stimulus funds. And according to records, to the government, 17,000 jobs were saved or created. What are you saying to those people? Fend for yourselves?

What I'm not for -- what I'm not for -- is the $2,000 deductible and taking our health care system back to a pre-World War II system, which is what Rand Paul's on the record as having said. So I'd like to fix health care. He wants to repeal it. And I think that's a stark difference. Kentucky Senate Showdown on 'FNS' | Fox News Sunday FULL TEXT TRANSCRIPT

Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank, and…Lisa Murkowski?

Anti-Reform Teachers Union Endorses Senator Murkowski Anchorage, Alaska. -- Senator Lisa Murkowski recently announced on her website that she has achieved the dubious distinction of becoming the only incumbent Republican in the U.S. Senate to win the endorsement of the nation's largest teachers union -– the National Education Association.

With this honor, Senator Murkowski joins such political figures as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and Representative Barney Frank who have also received 'A' ratings from the anti-reform teacher's union.

"The NEA is so far to the left that even the Obama Administration's education policies like expanding charter schools and teacher performance pay have come under fire from this group," stated Miller campaign spokesman Randy DeSoto. "The fact that Lisa Murkowski received both an endorsement and an 'A' rating from the NEA speaks volumes about her liberal voting record."

A story on NEA's endorsements in the Washington Post (October 6) noted, "Critics of the union say that it stands for the status quo in education and against innovation." The story goes on to say, "In dozens of targeted races, most of the union's recommended candidates are Democrats. But NEA officials said they are backing selected Republicans who have supported their causes, including Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska)...."

For the 2010 election cycle, the NEA has endorsed 316 candidates in House and Senate races. 303 of the endorsed candidates (96 percent) are Democrats; just 13 (4 percent) are Republicans.

Among the many votes that earned Senator Murkowski an 'A' rating from NEA was a vote to kill the popular "Opportunity Scholarship Program" in Washington, D.C., which allowed disadvantaged students to leave failing public schools and attend more academically rigorous and safer private schools.

DeSoto also stated he was curious about why the NEA would choose to back a write-in candidate over Democratic Party nominee Scott McAdams. "We certainly have our differences with Scott McAdams on the issues, but his educational credentials cannot be disputed," said DeSoto. "Mr. McAdams has served as the president of the Alaska Association of School Boards, he's a former member of the Sitka School Board, and he's currently the Director of Community Schools for the Sitka School District. We can only conclude that Lisa Murkowski's anti-reform voting record back in D.C. was more attractive to the NEA than Mr. McAdams' hands-on experience."

Isaac Hayes Support A True Conservative VIDEO

Support Illinois Conservative Isaac Hayes. Isaac is taking on Jesse Jackson Jr. in the Second Congressional District of Illinois.

HAYES URGES VOTERS TO GIVE JACKSON "A BREATHALYZER"

CHICAGO: Republican Nominee for Illinois 2nd Congressional District Isaac Hayes released the following statement in response to today's September Jobs Report that unemployment remains at 9.6%.

"Today’s unemployment number is a stark reminder that we need real change in Washington. Since Nancy Pelosi and her tax, borrow, and spend Majority gained control of Congress in 2006, the unemployment rate more than doubled from 4.6% to 10.6%. Unemployment remains high at 9.6%.

"In recent weeks, we have heard Republicans want to 'get the keys back' so they can 'drive the car back in a ditch.' But what they don’t want Americans to consider is the one Party rule that has controlled both Houses of Congress the last four years. So who really has been driving the car? Nancy Pelosi and Jesse Jackson Jr.

"Quite frankly, this 'Blame it on Bush' tantrum is rather childish. When I was growing up, we would throw snowballs at people and then, to avoid accountability, blame someone else for throwing them. This is what the Democrats are trying to do. They have driven the car in Congress – where bills are passed – for the past four years, but want Americans to believe that Republicans are the Party that got us into this ditch.

"7 million net jobs have been lost since Nancy Pelosi and Jesse Jackson Jr. began their anti-business crusade in the House of Representatives. $7 trillion has been added to the federal debt since Jesse Jackson Jr. went to Washington. Still, after voting 98% of the time with Mrs. Pelosi, he wants to add trillions more to the debt and enslave our great-grand children to foreign nations who are footing the bill. It is time we gave Jr. a breathalyzer and take the keys away.

"Like many American families, Latonya and I have had to reduce our spending and supplement our household income by withdrawing money from our retirement accounts. We understand that you can’t borrow and spend your way into prosperity. During difficult economic times you must spend less and borrow less so that you don’t find yourself facing bankruptcy. With nearly $14 trillion of debt, America is facing bankruptcy and the only solution my opponent can offer is to spend more, borrow more, and tax more. Is this what American families are doing?

"I get it. It’s time for America to live within its means and focus on reducing our debt, reducing our borrowing, and reducing our spending. The future solvency of our country is at stake and I am willing to make those tough decisions in the U.S. House so that American families are not forced to make those tough decisions in their houses." ###

Allen West Welcome to South Florida Mr. President. VIDEO

Welcome to South Florida Mr. President.

You and Ron Klein should leave that closed door, high roller fundraiser, and drive by our shuttered businesses and foreclosed homes.

I'll go anywhere you wish to debate your failed big government policies.

Heck, I'll even debate you and Klein together if that's what it takes.

The people of South Florida deserve a chance to tell you what will work here to improve our economy.

If you don't listen now, the voters will speak loud in November.

Wauwatosa – Today, the campaign for Scott Walker released a new ad that sets the record straight on Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett’s slanderous attacks against Scott Walker. Mayor Tom Barrett’s campaign recently released a TV ad that contained three fabricated Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (MJS) front pages aimed at distorting Walker’s fiscally responsible record as county executive.

“Unlike Scott Walker, who is focused on a debate about the issues, Tom Barrett continues to launch false, negative, and slanderous attacks against Scott Walker,” said Gilkes. “It’s unacceptable that despite the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s complaint about the Barrett’s use of their own news stories, Tom Barrett continues to stand by his slanderous attacks The people of Wisconsin deserve better than elected officials who make stuff up.

Eext Transcript (30): "Lies"

BARRETT: "So when it comes to the negative ads, I trust you to separate fact from fiction."

ANNOUNCER: "Well Tom Barrett, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel just did that. They said your ad against Scott Walker was like a forgery: using fake front pages, and pictures of Scott Walker in stories that weren't even about him.
'Pants on Fire' is the Journal Sentinel's ruling on Tom Barrett's deliberate distortions. Leaders are supposed to make a difference, not make stuff up."
