https://www.nolabels.org/ https://m.youtube.com/user/nolabelsorg So, I was watching Fox and this commerical came across my screen. It seems such gems as Susan Collins and other morally ambiguous representatives have formed a nonprofit against extremism so that government can "get things done" (see James Madison's Notes of Debate emphasizing the need for friction in government to slow things down.... Basically our government is designed to NOT do things). Except, the extremists they show are Sean Hannity juxtaposed to Rachel Maddow. The ultimate sophistry party, they are of limited substance and no principles. What they do believe in is alarming: Constitution smonstitution (aka it's...

Rep. Ryan Costello (R-Pa.) said that he is leaving Congress in part because all he is ever asked about is President Trump, according to CNN. "No matter what I say or do, I feel all I do is answer questions about Donald Trump rather than health insurance or tax policy," Costello told CNN. Costello announced in March that he would not run for reelection, blaming the partisan political environment, including the actions of Trump. "I feel, increasingly, that if you're a member of Congress, they assume that you're not good," Costello told CNN. "They assume that you're not telling the...

Pink has opened up about how she’s raising her kids as gender neutral, and shared what she really thinks of Donald Trump. The “Beautiful Trauma” singer told The People that she does not want to impose traditional gender roles on her two children, six-year-old daughter Willow and 11-month-old son Jameson. “We are a very label-less household,” the pop star said of her family with motorcycle racer Carey Hart. “Last week Willow told me she is going to marry an African woman. I was like: ‘Great, can you teach me how to make African food?’” Pink said. “And she’s like: ‘Sure...

During an appearance at a Jon Huntsman “No Labels” event, a female audience member named Lauren Batchelder played the role of a female antagonist toward candidate Donald Trump. ADVERTISEMENT However, Ms. Batchelder is not just an average audience member. She’s a paid political operative of the GOP and a paid staff member of Team Jeb Bush: NH 6 Within minutes of her scripted performance at the event, the producers of CNN were quickly editing soundbites and framing a narrative. That story was pushed into the media stream within hours. CNN’s Jeanne Moos was the delivery vehicle for the a hit...

RUSH: You know the No Labels group? The No Labels group is basically a bunch of Republican liberals. They are Republicans who don't like conservatives, and they don't want to be associated with conservatism. They want to be seen as intellectually elite, scholarly, superior, and they love being thought of as moderates. You know why? 'Cause moderates, independents, that's another thing that's happened in our political culture. Those people have acquired the reputation of open-minded, which is intelligent. Like those of us who are wedded to our causes 'cause we really believe -- we're small-minded, closed-minded, we're not open to...

GOP frontrunner Donald Trump took up for the Tea Party to a Left-leaning crowd at the No Labels Convention in New Hampshire Monday morning.“I love the Tea Party,” Trump responded when an audience member asked about his thoughts on the Tea Party and the House Freedom Caucus, as well as the possibility of a government shutdown over defunding Planned Parenthood.“These are people in all fairness, these are people that love this country. They do love this country and they want the country to be great,” Trump defended. “They don’t want Planned Parenthood funded… I understand that.”The crowd booed, but Trump...

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump says he has “worked out” a settlement with Aerosmith over his use of the group’s hit “Dream On” at campaign events. “That’s all worked out,” he told reporters on Monday at the Problem Solver Convention sponsored by No Labels and The Hill before walking to the stage while the power ballad, his campaign theme, played.

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler is asking Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to stop using the power ballad "Dream On" at campaign events. Attorneys for Tyler sent a second cease-and-desist letter to Trump's campaign committee on Saturday.

Pretty good stuff right here. October 12, 2015: GOP Presidential candidate and front-runner Donald Trump was in Manchester, NH today along with several other speakers for the No Labels Problem Solver Convention. He spoke and took questions from the audience.

Your humble correspondent has a lot of respect for Joe Lieberman so I am giving him the benefit of the doubt that he knew nothing about the background of the incredibly lame No Labels mascot at the "Problem Solver Convention" which has attracted a number of major presidential candidates. If it were just a matter of the mascot being over the top lame, it would be merely funny. However, the idiot mascot, Zach Fox, also has a background as a failed comedian making racist cracks and humiliating women with very crude sexual remarks as you can see in this video that...

Republicans have had a number of successes over the last few years, even if the successes have been eclipsed by two national failures in presidential elections. The GOP holds more state-legislature seats now than at any time since Herbert Hoover was President, and now controls both chambers of Congress for the first time since 2006. Their grip on the Senate is tenuous, but Republicans now hold a dominating advantage in House seats that may last at least until the next Census, and potentially far beyond that. In the field and on the ground in local elections, Republicans have managed to...

On last Friday's "The Situation Room" on CNN, Wolf Blitzer allowed commentator and activist John Avlon to attack Sarah Palin without disclosing to the viewers that Avlon is a co-founded the anti-Tea Party group No Labels. Blitzer introduced Avlon as a "CNN Contributor and a senior political columnist for 'Newsweek' and 'The Daily Beast'" without disclosing his No Labels ties. Such an omission is noteworthy because Blitzer had Avlon on to discuss an article that slammed the woman whose endorsement carries the most weight among Tea Party voters: Palin. In a nutshell, the exchange symbolized CNN's problem of hiding its...

Prominent among the clueless douchebags who thought Rudy Giuliani could be elected president, John Avlon by 2009 was faced with a problem: How could a pro-Obama liberal Republican hireling find work in a political environment where the Tea Party uprising demonstrated that the Charlie Crist collaborationist Vichy wing of the GOP had no natural grassroots constituency? So in 2010, Avlon co-founded the “No Labels” movement, funded by liberal donors and assigned the mission of helping Democrats destroy the Tea Party. And if Avlon’s constant smearing of conservatives as “winguts” damaged the Republican Party, so what? Nobody involved in “No Labels”...

President Barack Obama signed a bill Friday evening that would exempt some senior-level presidential appointees from Senate confirmation. Sponsored by Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer and cosponsored by Republicans and Democrats, the bill, now law, weakens the power of the legislature and strengthens the executive branch, critics have warned. The bill skated through the Senate three months after being introduced in 2011 and was passed by the Republican-controlled House 216-116 in July. The law now allows Obama and future presidents to name appointees to senior positions in every branch of the administration, from the Department of the Treasury to the Department...

..."I am gratified that the president has thrown his personal support and the authority of the presidency behind the goal of justice, equality, and decency for all citizens," said Ted Olson, founder of the Federalist Society and former Bush administration solicitor general.. I called Olson on Wednesday to get the conservative legal leader's take on the North Carolina gay-marriage ban at the ballot and the way it sets up a Supreme Court showdown, possibly as early as 2013--no matter who is president. Olson has stern words for his fellow conservatives who flooded the polls on Tuesday, making North Carolina the...

Remember No Labels? You can be forgiven if you have completely forgotten about that organization since it appears to have died at birth despite the hype given to it back in December by several in the mainstream media including Washington Post Reporter Philip Rucker who wrote this plug for the organization that is notable for its almost instant fade from national consciousness: It will form a political action committee to help defend moderate candidates of both parties against attack from the far right and the far left, said John Avlon, a founding member and one-time speechwriter for former New York...

'Unfortunately, partisan politics has immobilized Washington," Mayor Bloomberg told Time magazine in 2007. Bloomberg, according to Michael Grunwald's cover story, was half of a dynamic duo revolutionizing American politics. The other partner: California's then still-shiny governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Together, they were "The New Action Heroes" who, Grunwald said, were "doing big things that Washington has failed to do." Today, the Big Apple remains immobilized not from partisan politics but by Bloomberg's arrogance. Hizzoner was more concerned with getting salt off New Yorkers' plates than he was with getting it on the snow crippling their streets. "The Governator," meanwhile, leaves California...

By If politics makes for strange bedfellows, it’s also responsible for some pretty interesting timing in the creation of new organizations. A short while ago “No Labels” appeared on the political scene. The stated purpose of this apparently hastily formed group is to bring left and right together for the common good. Partisanship must be left behind, civility must reign so “…together we can make the future better and brighter–and give us what we all deserve–a government and a political system that works–one driven by shared vision and common sense.” A founding member of No Labels, Mark McKinnon, quit the...

Call it Coffee Party Redux. Before quickly fizzling out the Coffee Party received extreme media hype shorty after its birth last year and now its latter incarnation, No Labels is the recipient of the same kind of treatment in the mainstream media.  The similarities don't stop there.  Nice Deb at NewsRealBlog has listed the No Labels Declaration and the Coffee Party Mission Statement side by side and as you can see they are virtually identical in their feel good vagueness:
