the formation of a fundraising political action committee that’s headed by former U.S. Rep. Bob Livingston, R-La. Jindal, Livingston said Thursday, ‘is an incredibly bright guy and a very capable guy, and frankly, he can do anything he puts his mind to.’ … The Jindal Super PAC is called Believe Again, according to Guy Harrison, a Washington-area consultant assisting in the effort. Rolfe McCollister, of Baton Rouge, is treasurer; he has previously worked as a campaign finance director for Jindal. Organization documents for the committee were filed Thursday with the Federal Elections Commission, Harrison said. Livingston, who represented the 1st Congressional District in Southeast Louisiana from 1977 to 1999, said he played a role in Jindal’s introduction to Washington politics, bringing Jindal to his office as a youthful intern.” [Gregory Roberts, The New Orleans Advocate, 1/22/15] Former U.S. Rep. Bob Livingston Was A Registered Lobbyist For The Libyan Government During Gadhafi’s Reign. "In keeping with prior arrangements, the Englewood, N.J., property is not available for any use in connection with the upcoming visit," State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said in a statement, while offering no elaboration. Earlier on Friday, Rep. Steve Rothman, D-Fair Lawn, said he had been told by a Republican former congressman who now lobbies for the Libyan government that Gadhafi will not be staying at the Englewood estate when he addresses the U.N. General Assembly next month. The estate, on East Palisade Avenue, is owned by the Libyan government. "The Libyans will not be coming to Englewood," Rothman said in a phone interview. Robert Livingston, a Republican who resigned in 1998 in the midst of the Clinton impeachment debate after disclosing he had an extramarital affair, told Rothman the news, Rothman said. Livingston, whose lobbying firm has been retained by the Libyan government, told Rothman he'd been conducting back-channel negotiations with Libyan officials.” [The Record, 8/29/09]  Former Rep.

RAND PAUL: “Well, you know, it's never that easy to remove people from power, even in Serbia and in Iraq we found that bombing alone didn't do it. Actually ground troops had to go in and do it. There are many here in Washington now advocating ground troops. I think it's a slippery slope and it could engage us in a third war, and I think by any means or definition, bombing -- both troops and bombing installations is war and really it's an affront to the constitution that we're not debating this in Congress.” [Fox News, 3/31/11] Rand Paul Said That By Definition, Bombing Or Ground Troops In Libya Were War, Which Needed To Be Debated In Congress.

ANDREW NAPOLITANO: “Some of your colleagues notably, Senator John McCain, Republican from Arizona, I haven't heard his comments on the speech, but before the speech, applauded the president's invasion and said something to the effect of ‘This is a beautiful opportunity for freedom and democracy.’ How do you respond to that, Senator Paul?” RAND PAUL: “I'll tell you, it's kind of unclear. You know, when we went in the 1980s, we supported some people called freedom fighters in Afghanistan. It turns out one of the freedom fighters was Osama Bin Laden. That didn't turn out so well. I mean, the unintended consequences from going into a country like Libya where some of the fighters have been linked to al Qaeda, some of them have actually traveled to Afghanistan and have fought against us in Afghanistan that we would actually be supporting rebels who may be supporters of fundamentalist Islam and fundamentalist Jihad.” [Freedom Watch, Fox Business, 3/28/11]
