The rEbublican pArty Attempting to Limit Voter Choice in Iowa... It Won't Stop There

As could be expected the new neo Fascist rEpublican party and its sorry excuse of a presumptive nominee, Willard Mittens Romneyskull, is trying the usual underhanded tactics so common in the new neo Fascist rEpublican party. They are trying to shut down Gary Johnson's Libertarian run for the presidency by attempting to get him removed from the ballot. All I say is these sorry a** boys must be really scared as it appears they are shi**ing themselves in their attempt to vaporize what they believe is support that would be theirs were it not for the candidacy of Gary Johnson. Well boys and girls, guess what... You haven't earned the support of, or the respect of Gary Johnson or Ron Paul supporters. In fact it is indeed bewildering why ANYBODY would support the rEpublican party today..

Every liberty minded true Republican and independent ought to throw their support solidly behind Gary Johnson. If for no other reason than to bring the new neo Fascist rEpublican party to its knees, if not exterminating it entirely.

Whatever respect liberty minded people might have had for the rEpublican party it should be gone entirely after this crap by the new neo fascist rEpublican party.

The story from the examiner.

Jay Kramer, a Mitt Romney campaign supporter from Washington, D.C., filed a challenge on Friday to keep Libertarian candidate for President, Gov. Gary Johnson, from appearing on the Iowa ballot in November. The Romney campaign hired the Des Moines-based Nyemaster Goode PC for the challenge, which will be heard by Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz on Monday at 3 p.m.

"This is clearly a setup," said the Johnson campaign's attorney, Alicia Dearn. "The Libertarian Party had 2,000 petition signatures and should have been on the ballot without challenge, as they have always done in the past. But Republican Iowa Secretary of State Schultz — in violation of longstanding Iowa law — rejected the petition and required the Johnson campaign to caucus at the state fair. There, the Romney campaign surveilled the Johnson campaign's activities for the sole purpose of bringing this eleventh-hour challenge," Dearn said.

The Romney campaign's challenge was filed Friday afternoon and set for a hearing on Monday afternoon. The 106-page challenge includes photographs of Johnson supporters asking fair-goers to support having Gov. Johnson and the Libertarian Party offered as a choice on the ballot. The Republicans' challenge claims that the state fair signatures should be thrown out because the signers are not Libertarians.

"The challenge is legally frivolous," asserts Dearn. "You don't have to be a registered Libertarian to want a third choice on the ballot. Iowans deserve to choose for themselves who to vote for, which is why Gov. Johnson should be on the ballot." {Read More}

The new neo Fascist rEpublican party is about limiting the voters choice, it is about building walls to insulate themselves from new ideas and limiting the peoples access to the same, it is about control, it is about nothing that our founders envisioned for this nation. Yes Obama and his policies must be replaced. But do we want to replace them with a party that will yield nothing much better and possibly much worse?

Yes I am pissed, and so should every American be pissed over the rEpublican parties attempts to limit the electorates choice at the ballet box. A party that will attempt this is a party that will surely limit your liberty at the first reason they find to do so. Believe me, when they do, and it will happen (anybody remember the Patriot Act, Homeland Security, and the TSA?) it will be to increase their own control over your life, liberty, property, and happiness.

The Libertarian Party Platform is a platform for liberty. The candidacy of Gary Johnson is the only choice that will insure fiscal responsibility in government and that individual liberties are recognized and protected by the government. For those of us who cherish our freedom and liberty, the birthright of all Americans, Gary Johnson is the only rational choice before us in 2012..

guest post - living savvy

Hello I am Tiffany from Living Savvy and I am excited to be here today kicking off Elizabeth's vacation!  I am a little jealous that she is having some fun in the sun because currently I am in the middle of packing up my house and moving!  Both exciting and frustrating... I will be moving my house into storage and living at my parents summer house {it only sounds fancy... they live here in Nor Cal in the summer and winter in Hawaii} till our new home is ready.  But since I have packed all of my belonging it makes me think about how my style has evolved over the last 3 years that I have lived here.  And even now as I make plans for my new house, I still have not quite decided what direction I want to go... 

So I thought it would be fun to share the evolution of my house over the last 3 years, maybe a road down memory lane will shoot me in the right direction for my new house!



 I wanted to bring some blue into my house, a color I have never had in my house before, but I wanted it to be soft and still work with my red.  So in the Spring of 2011 I changed out my color scheme to bring navy and reds together.  It was a good change, but not my favorite combo...




This was my family room redo after a design domino effect in Late summer of 2011. {see post} I wanted to tone down the bossy navy with a softer blue.  And I was really lusting over the Covinton fabric!!



I took my moms old wingback chairs from chintz floral to bold floral! {see post}  I loved the fabric then 
{summer 2011} but now I am over it and plan on changing them again for the new house!!


In January of this year I splurged and added some Chiang Mia Dragon to my space!  I am in love and plan on using the endless color pallet to create my new family.  I think this has to be my favorite of all the pillow combinations.  But I think I can tweak it a little bit more for the new space!

Be sure to join me as I take my new suburban home and make it amazing {as soon as I get the keys}!  
I will have loads of DIY's and projects to share with you all!

Thank you so much for having me!  


Congressman Ron Paul, a Man of Integrity...

by: Les Carpenter

A man of principle and integrity. Representative Ron Paul in response to the rEpublican pArty offer of a speaking slot at the national rEpublican cOnvention.


POLITICO - Mr. Paul, in an interview, said convention planners had offered him an opportunity to speak under two conditions: that he deliver remarks vetted by the Romney campaign, and that he give a full-fledged endorsement of Mr. Romney. He declined.

“It wouldn’t be my speech,” Mr. Paul said. “That would undo everything I’ve done in the last 30 years. I don’t fully endorse him for president.”

It is a rare thing in the politics of the 21st century when a politician puts principal ahead of politics.

A son is not always "a chip off the old block."

Paul’s refusal to play ball stands in contrast to his son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who at some personal political cost has endorsed Mitt Romney’s bid – and has a speaking slot.

The disparate approaches to the convention, and toward Romney, reflect the stylistic differences between father and son. And they reveal starkly different levels of ambition.

Uncompromising and perfectly willing to operate on the margins of mainstream politics for decades, Ron Paul proved unable to take his liberty message to a broader audience. Even this year, at the height of his national influence and popularity, the Texas congressman failed to win the popular vote in a single state and never seriously threatened to win the GOP nomination.

His son, however, has already accomplished something that Ron Paul never could – he won statewide office. And in less than two years in the Senate, Rand Paul has established himself as a formidable player in GOP politics and a presidential prospect.

How much further Rand Paul can advance the movement is unclear. But with his endorsement of Romney and his convention profile, it’s obvious that Rand Paul is aiming to take the libertarian message to the next level while his father will occupy the role of the movement’s conscience.

I find a glaring contradiction in it all. Ron Paul, by far the brighter of the Paul's IMO, was unable to gain national recognition and acceptance. Yet his son, who supposedly is a liberty movement advocate has risen to be a star of the movement. But is he sincere? Methinks not.

By pandering to the establishment wing of the rEpublican party he insures himself a speaking slot at the national convention. Need we require any further proof than his endorsement of Mittens Romney, the epitome of the establishment statist neo fascist rEpublican party?

Happy Campers



Prepare for lots of photos :))) yes! photos for our little vacation at Ricketts Glen State Park . We have enjoyed 4 days at the mountain and beach. We went fishing and hiked everyday, discovering the wonderful waterfalls,  preparing good food and relaxing on the chaise lounge under  the sun.  Of course we had a little bit of an adventure with the rain, but that made the vacation more exciting, right? And if the meaning of vacation was  r e l a x a t i o n , we were totally disconnected from the reality world ( away from internet and phones) and it was great !
I 'm back now with many lovely memories and ready to create new ones ...
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone !
