I doubt FOX, Breitbart or any Right Wing radio people will complain about it but,Ben Carson has decided to not give up any of the paid speaking gigs he has booked all the way into next Fall.quote:Typically, presidential hopefuls clear their speaking schedules and eliminate lucrative contracts to avoid any appearance of conflicts of interest. But not Carson. In January, as Carson was preparing to run for president, Armstrong Williams told National Review that WSB had booked hundreds of gigs for Carson in the upcoming months. He announced his bid for president in May. I expect all of the above to happen and nobody to ever complain about it.

Yup, this campaign ad violates Senate rules, as do his gifs of Graham rolling his eyes at Rand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=verzCNPkRQY

Don't be silly, you were fired for unspecified performance issues.

Caros posted:I believe you can't use video of yourself on the senate floor, but I might be wrong. You can't use senate audio or video for a campaign purpose. Rand skirted the rules once before when he showed footage of an FNC broadcast of his filibuster. Since it was FNC re-broadcasting, and not the direct feed, he was in kind of a grey area. This time he's just thrown both middle fingers at the rules and pulled the direct feed. I bet he'll just quietly take down the video after someone from the Senate reminds him of the rules. If we ever see a similar ad he'll have to do a re-enactment which will most likely be hilarious like it was for Mary Landrieu. http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/landrieu-camp-ad-reenactment-done-comply-senate-rules-n81046 It might sound like a weird rule, but the idea was to preserve the sanctity of the senate as a place for discussion. It doesn't make a lot of sense now because of Citizens United, but the fear was that there would be a chilling effect on discussion since you'd start to have ads comprised of sound bites from the floor taken forcefully out of context. When political campaigns were making most of the ads directly it was an effective rule. It's kind of useless now because a Super PAC can make the ad, and then the candidate can say, "well I'm barred from coordinating, and the people in my Super PAC aren't senators..." Then the Super PAC itself, if dinged by the FEC over it(unlikely), would probably be able to take it all the way to SCOTUS and win on free speech and transparency grounds.

I mean it would be weird if she was making that face at a kid but it looks like she's making it at pastries and I wouldn't be surprised if 75% of all people leered at tasty food like that, at least momentarily. She's probably saying something like "oh they all look so gooood I can't choooose" there. It's still a creepy smile, but it's got a better context than most.

"I want to be president to defeat the enemies who want to kill us. Not penalize them, not criticize them, defeat them!" Man, Graham is really laying on the fascist rhetoric. Peace through strength. EDIT: Just said words to the effect of "fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here." Really getting Bush nostalgia now. EDIT 2: Just implicitly referenced Malala.
