768 Days & Counting Since Senate Democrats Passed A Budget It’s been 768 days since U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and the Democrats who run the Senate have performed the most basic job function of Congress by passing a federal budget. In this Congress alone, Democrats like Amy Klobuchar haven’t even offered any budget proposal, because their partisan leaders – Senators Harry Reid (D-NV) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) – have said that to do so would be “foolish,” and that Democrats do not have the time to propose a budget. “It’s been 768 days since Senator Amy Klobuchar and her liberal friends in Washington have passed a budget,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee Spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “With a national debt of over $14.3 trillion, Minnesotans deserve to know what’s keeping Klobuchar from performing her most basic task of passing a budget that will rein in her reckless spending habits that…

Paging Detective Schumer…
Mentor Stays Silent As Protégé Prepares To Face The Cameras As additional questions surface regarding embattled Congressman Anthony Weiner’s online behavior and the Schumer protégé prepares to address the media in New York City at 4 PM today, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) released the following statement: “Given Senator Schumer’s emphatic statement last week that he was ‘virtually certain’ his protégé ‘had nothing to do’ with the recent lewd tweet sent to a 21 year old college student, his current silence over these most recent allegations is notable. Was this yet another instance where Chuck Schumer rushed out to the press armed with less than all the facts on an issue? Does he agree with his protégé’s assertion that a private investigation is required to determine whether or not that was him in the gray underwear? We look forward to hearing from New York’s media-friendly senior Senator in the…
NRSC Fact Check: Cardin Cut $500 Billion From Medicare
Incumbent Plays Politics At Expense Of Maryland Families Who Count On Medicare In an act of transparent political posturing, the Associated Press reports today that U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD) joined four other Democrat Senators – all of whom are coincidentally up for re-election next year – in sending a letter to Vice President Joe Biden that calls on Biden to reaffirm his commitment to leaving Medicare “unchanged” during budget and deficit negotiations. Ironically, despite his election-cycle rhetoric – Cardin is the only candidate for U.S. Senate in Maryland who voted to cut Medicare by $500 billion in order to fund the Democrats’ expansion of government into other areas of the health care market. “Given his strident campaign rhetoric on the issue, it’s a shame that Senator Cardin didn’t show this same enthusiasm for Medicare sixteen months ago, when he helped his Washington party bosses cut it by $500 billion,”…
NRSC Fact Check: McCaskill Cut $500 Billion From Medicare
Embattled Incumbent Plays Politics At Expense Of Missourians Who Count On Medicare In yet another act of transparent political posturing, the Associated Press reports today that U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) joined four other Democrat Senators – all of whom are coincidentally up for re-election next year – in sending a letter to Vice President Joe Biden that calls on Biden to reaffirm his commitment to leaving Medicare “unchanged” during budget and deficit negotiations. Ironically, McCaskill recently held a press conference on Capitol Hill where she said explicitly that “everything’s on the table” when it comes to addressing the U.S. Government’s record-high $14.3 trillion debt, including entitlement programs. Meanwhile, despite her election-cycle rhetoric, McCaskill is the only candidate for U.S. Senate in Missouri who voted to cut Medicare by $500 billion in order to fund ObamaCare. “Given her strident campaign rhetoric on the issue, it’s a shame that Senator McCaskill…
NRSC Fact Check: Tester Cut $500 Billion From Medicare
Embattled Incumbent Plays Politics At Expense Of Montanans Who Count On Medicare In yet another act of transparent political posturing, the Associated Press reports today that U.S. Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) joined four other Democrat Senators – all of whom are coincidentally up for re-election next year – in sending a letter to Vice-President Joe Biden that calls on Biden to reaffirm his commitment to leaving Medicare “unchanged” during budget and deficit negotiations. Ironically, when asked on MSNBC’s Morning Joe in April about U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) budget proposal, which reforms Medicare, Tester called it a “good place to start.” Meanwhile, Tester’s campaign manager today drew further attention to the wide gap between Tester’s campaign rhetoric and his record of cutting Medicare, writing in an email seeking campaign contributions that “[w]hen Jon talks to us about Medicare in Helena or Billings, you know that he’s always going to fight…
Non-Partisan Report Finds Kaine-Led DNC Accepted Lobbyist Contributions
As Chairman of the Democratic National Committee last cycle, Tim Kaine routinely bragged that the DNC did not, and would not, take money from registered lobbyists. As the Washington Times reported just last month for example: Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine was asked during a television interview last fall how President Obama has changed Washington. “Let me start with the DNC,” said the former Virginia governor. “We don’t take PAC and lobbyist money.” Well, that turns out not to have been the case. The non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics reported late this afternoon that under Kaine’s watch a number of registered lobbyists donated money to the DNC last cycle, in violation of the DNC’s publicly-announced policies and in contradiction to Kaine’s repeated statements. Notably, today’s news comes just weeks after it was reported that Kaine is also reversing himself as a candidate for U.S. Senate and accepting the…
