HYPOCRISY ALERT
Nelson Has Voted With President Obama Over 97 Percent Of The Time
Yesterday, in an attempt to mislead Floridians from his lockstep support of President Obama’s failed agenda, liberal United States Senator Bill Nelson announced he was supporting the “no-labels” movement.
Given that Bill Nelson has supported Barack Obama’s tax-and-spend agenda – which includes the failed $825 billion stimulus and government-run healthcare – over 97 percent of this time, it’s clear Nelson is trying to cover up his long, liberal record in Congress.
“Bill Nelson has supported Barack Obama’s job-killing agenda over 97 percent of the time and this latest move by Nelson is a political stunt aimed at distracting Floridians from his fiercely partisan record,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox.
