admin — Thu, 17 May 2012 01:12:44 +0000

The Club for Growth, a conservative group known for funding primary challenges against incumbent Republicans, released a report today unloading on GOP House freshmen for straying from the “tea party” ideals on which they campaigned.

The report, based on the group’s annual vote scorecard, aggressively challenged the freshmen for their alleged ideological failures, including calling out some of the biggest names in the class.

“Tea party star” Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) “received an anemic 64% for voting to raise the debt ceiling and by repeatedly voting against spending cuts,” the release said.

“The two freshmen in the Republican Leadership received vastly different scores, with Rep. Tim Scott[S.C.] receiving a 92% and Rep. Kristi Noem [S.D.] receiving a 60%,” the release said.

Bad economic data aside, 2012 may just shape up to be the best year ever for conservatives. Since last week, I have reported that the Wisconsin Recall election is moving firmly in Scott Walker’s direction.

Big Labor’s preferred candidate, Kathleen Falk, was trounced in last week’s Democrat primary. Scott Walker, who Big Labor assured us was universally despised, got almost as many votes as all the Democrats combined. This afternoon, we learn that the DNC has wisely decided not to waste a dime on the recall.

Forced by the Obama administration to choose between violating its faith and morals by providingabortion pills and contraception to students under its health plan or dropping health insurance altogether, Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio has chosen the latter. Via Hot Air, Steven Erteltreports:

Franciscan University appears to be the first casualty of the new Obama HHS mandate that requires Catholic colleges, groups and businesses to pay for drugs that may cause abortions and birth control for their employees.

Mia Love, the 36-year-old mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah and Republican candidate for Congress in the state’s newly created Fourth District, is something of a political anomaly. A conservative and a Mormon, Love would be the first black female Republican in Congress ever.

Just two weeks ago, the battle for the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate seat in Nebraska was between state Attorney General Jim Bruning and state Treasurer Don Stenburg. Neither inspired the growing base of conservative voters. They were, to be charitable, standard conservative-ish career politicians. Mama Grizzly Sarah Palin shook up the race with a late endorsement of state Senator Debby Fischer. It made all the difference.

But I thought the tea party was dead?

Indiana grassroots appears to have scored a major victory of the GOP establishment in tonight’s hotly contested senate primary. Richard Mourdock, the State Treasurer heavily backed by various tea parties is the projected winner over career politician Dick Lugar in a historic upset.

If the establishment GOP thought that the grassroots movement was over, the movement sent a clear message not only to the Indiana GOP but also to Washington: Being a Republican isn’t enough in this election.

Tax loophole costs billions

admin — Wed, 09 May 2012 00:10:59 +0000

How it works

The Internal Revenue Service says everyone who is employed in the United States – even those who are working here illegally – must report income and pay taxes. Of course, undocumented workers are not supposed to have a social security number. So for them to pay taxes, the IRS created what’s called an ITIN, an individual taxpayer identification number. A 9-digit ITIN number issued by the IRS provides both resident and nonresident aliens with a unique identification number that allows them to file tax returns.

While that may have seemed like a good idea, it’s now backfiring in a big way.

Each spring, at tax preparation offices all across the nation, many illegal immigrants are now eagerly filing tax returns to take advantage of a tax loophole, using their ITIN numbers to get huge refunds from the IRS.

The loophole is called the Additional Child Tax Credit. It’s a fully-refundable credit of up to $1000 per child, and it’s meant to help working families who have children living at home.

But 13 Investigates has found many undocumented workers are claiming the tax credit for kids who live in Mexico – lots of kids in Mexico.

“We’ve seen sometimes 10 or 12 dependents, most times nieces and nephews, on these tax forms,” the whistleblower told Eyewitness News. “The more you put on there, the more you get back.”
