WEST CHESTER TWP.

As Gov. John Kasich was urging about 200 supporters to fight to take back our value system during a campaign rally Monday night in West Chester Twp., the president of the Cincinnati Tea Party and others say they were fighting to keep from being thrown off the premises.

Ann Becker, tea party president and Butler County resident, said she was denied access to the invitation-only event at Voice of America MetroPark by private security because she was protesting against the Common Core, which are a set of state standards for what students should know and be able to do in math and English at each grade level. Becker, who was wearing an Ohioans Against Common Core T-shirt, said she and other protesters were stopped as they tried to enter the rally.

I was invited to the event. I had RSVPed to the event, Becker said. When I came to the door, I was turned away with a lie, being told I didnt RSVP. I was told that if I didnt leave the premises I would be arrested.

Butler County GOP Executive Chairman Todd Hall said security at the governors rally made a judgment call regarding a loud and caustic outside protester who suddenly wanted inside the event.

There must have been concern about safety or to disrupting the peaceful nature of the event itself, Hall said. While the Republican Party is open to all views and expressions of free speech within or even outside our party, we always stand in strong support of public safety officials and the difficult decisions they often have to make.

Kasich campaign spokeswoman Connie Wehrkamp added: Unfortunately a few people chose to be disruptive and were asked to leave by security.

But Becker maintains that she was not loud or out of line; she just wanted answers.

For the past five years, I have been a very vocal opponent of the expansion of government and fiscal irresponsibility, she said. During the past year, my fellow small government activists and I have taken great issue with the adoption of the Common Core State Standards in our state. At many of Governor Kasichs stops on the campaign trail, we have protested against Common Core.

Becker said the Butler County Republican Party chose to threaten her, rather than risk the governor being asked about Common Core.

Since the last midterm election in 2010, support for lawmakers who are willing to compromise has risen dramatically, reflecting a desire among voters for an end to the partisan gridlock in Congress.

In October 2010, a month before the election in which Republicans gained an historic number of seats in the House and regained control of the chamber, about a third of voters said they would prefer candidates willing to compromise. Nearly twice as many voters57%said they wanted candidates who would stick to their positions.

Those numbers have since reversed themselves, according to the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. Now, half of Americans say they would prefer candidates willing to compromise, compared with 42% to want their candidates to stick to their guns.

Support for compromise-friendly lawmakers is highest among Democrats, 62% of whom say they want candidates who are willing to make deals. Just 32% of Democrats favor candidates unwilling to do so.

On the other side of the aisle, more Republicans54%prefer candidates who stick to their positions, compared to 37% who favor those who would compromise. Supporters of the conservative tea-party movement, unsurprisingly, are the least compromise-happyjust 32% of them prefer such candidates, compared to 60% who want hardline candidatesthe exact opposite of the split among Democrats. (That number has, however, decreased since 2010, when just a fifth said they would prefer deal-making candidates.)

Tea-party conservatives are renowned for their opposition to compromise. Lawmakers such as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz who are associated with the movement are famous for sticking to their positions. In the lead-up to the government shutdown last October, for example, Mr. Cruz did not back down from his attempt to defund the Affordable Care Acteven when it meant shutting down the government. In a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference earlier this year, he called for candidates to defend their core beliefs above all else.

The latest poll shows that as support for compromise is on an upward trend, approval of the tea party is on its way down. Just 19% of Americans said they held a positive view of the movement, down from 30% who said the same in October 2010. And a fifth of Americans said they considered themselves supporters of the tea partydown from 30% four years ago.

Support has declined significantly among people who believe the economy will get worse, men over the age of 50, people making more than $75,000 a year, and people who would prefer a Republican-controlled Congress, among other groups. Among Republicans, 37% consider themselves supporters of the tea partydown from 57% in October 2010.

The poll, which surveyed 1,000 adults from Oct. 8-12, has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 3.1%.

Tea Party Further Out of Favor as Compromise Gains WSJ/NBC News Poll

The news media continues to either mock the tea party or declare that it is dead and gone. Members of the grass-roots movement know that as long as Americans believe in fiscal conservatism, personal liberty and founding values, the tea party remains a potent brew with a lot of potential. One lawmaker in particular is also convinced of this Rep. Michele Bachmann, who takes her case to the public Wednesday morning in an event to be aired live by C-SPAN.

The retiring Minnesota Republican will appear at the Heritage Foundation to deliver a speech titled The Tea Party: Continuing the Revolution in American Thought. She founded the House Tea Party Caucus in 2010 and has never backed down on her faith in the spontaneous phenomenon that emerged five years ago and has rattled opponents and critics ever since.

The tea party movement focuses on principles before politics and defending the Constitution rather than defending political parties. The media would have you believe that the tea party is a group of old white racists bought and paid for by Republicans. The Democrats shrugged off the massive crowds as fringe and unworthy of notice. Its only AstroTurf, they said. They were wrong, Mrs. Bachmann noted earlier this year.

In her speech, she will trace the rise of the modern tea party, its ongoing impact and implications for the midterms. More important, perhaps, the lawmaker will outline a unifying agenda to restore American greatness and opportunity. The event will be moderated by Tim Chapman, CEO of Heritage Action for America, and can be seen live at 10 a.m. ET on C-SPAN and online here: Heritage.org.

STILL NO NAME FOR ISLAMIC STATE WAR

Headlines vary when it comes to press coverage of the Islamic State conflict, with interchangeable references to ISIS and ISIL. And there is still no formal name no Desert Storm or Enduring Freedom a fact that the Pentagon acknowledged and dismissed without explanation almost two months ago. Critics suggest its a political ploy to ease the White House through events until the midterms are over and done with. Those who track the usage of words, phrases and mottoes in popular culture have also taken note.

Nature abhors a vacuum, and this is even more true when it comes to the Internet, Paul J.J. Payack tells Inside the Beltway. He is president of the Texas-based Global Language Monitor, which uses software to track buzzwords and language patterns in 50,000 media sources. No name from the side of the coalition forces simply means that the enemy will define the nature of the conflict, which we now see happening. With [the Islamic States] dramatic imagery of caliphates and crusades, they have apparently seized the imagination of disaffected youth, even in the West.

Mr. Payack has a few suggestions of his own for naming the war: Operation Levant Relief, Operation Desert Redux, Operation Middle East Rescue, Operation Kurdish Relief, Operation Iraqi Relief or combinations thereof. And note theres no mention of ISIS or ISIL, he says.

HILLARYS PREMIERE PARTY

There are fundraisers, and then there are significant fundraisers. Check out the upcoming, ultra-exclusive West Coast event with Hillary Clinton in the starring role, considered a coming out of sorts for Clintons possible run for president, says Tina Daunt, a correspondent for The Hollywood Reporter. Silver screen elites are falling all over themselves to be included in the Oct. 20 event, which already counts uber-producers Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg plus Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer and Michael F. Bennet on the guest list.
