Matt Kibbe talked about the agenda of tea party candidates in the 2014 midterm elections. Among his comments he talked about the evolution of the movement since 2010, and predicted that the libertarian wing of the Republican Party, which he also calls the “liberty caucus,” would double in size in 2014 House races.

2. CDC's Inability to Deal with Ebola Isn't for a Lack of Funding - by Jason Pye
A progressive organization is out with a new issue ad blaming congressional Republicans for the Ebola outbreak. In the disgusting minute-long ad, titled "Republican Cuts Kill," the Agenda Project Action Fund uses clips of Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KY), urging more spending cuts to the federal budget. It also features footage of Obama administration officials discussing budget cuts and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) purported inability to deal with viral outbreaks.

3. The CDC's Mission Creep: A Dangerous and Wasteful Distraction - by Josh Withrow
As Ebola and other emerging diseases continue to dominate our headlines, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to be America's front line of defense against the outbreak of a devastating epidemic. However, the agency has stumbled, and an examination of its activities reveal an institution often more focused upon advancing progressive social priorities and nanny-state interventions than simply performing well at its one intended job.

4. What the "Official" Jobs Numbers Aren't Telling You - by Logan Albright
Early this month, the Pew Research Center released its News IQ Quiz, in order to survey the general public’s level of knowledge about current events. This provided no end of fun for commentators, gleefully mocking the average American’s ignorance, as if knowing the minimum wage or the Chair of the Federal Reserve has any relevance to most people’s lives, when many are still struggling to find jobs and feed their families.
It’s true that many people have a lot to learn about what’s going on in the world these days, but of particular interest was one survey question regarding the unemployment rate. When asked about the national unemployment rate as reported by the government, only a third of people said it was close to 6 percent, 27 percent said close to 9 percent, and 18 percent said close to 12 percent.

5. The Obama Administration is Already Downplaying Expectations for ObamaCare's Second Open Enrollment Period - by Jason Pye
Though Healthcare.gov doesn't open for business until November 15, the spin for the second open enrollment period for ObamaCare has already begun. More than a year after the disastrous rollout of the federal Exchange, which our insurance-salesman-in-chief, President Obama, said users would have a shopping experience similar to Kayak, Orbitz, or Amazon, the administration agencies overseeing the website are already downplaying expectations: Read more here...
6. FreedomWorks for America Condemns Disgusting Wendy Davis Attack Ad
Following the release of an appalling Wendy Davis attack ad against Greg Abbott in the Texas governor’s race, FreedomWorks for America President Matt Kibbe commented:
"This ad actually left me without words after watching it. It's gutter politics at its worst. It's disturbing to think about how many desks this ad crossed at the Wendy Davis campaign headquarters, how many people thought this was an acceptable ad to run under any circumstance. In elections, there are candidates who care about ideas, and there are candidates who care about attacking people. It's crystal clear who is who in the Texas governor's race." Read more here...
