Tim Kaine’s Revisionist History & Out-Of-Touch Rhetoric

It’s been just over one month since Tim Kaine’s fellow Washington Democrats twisted his arm enough to drag him into a U.S. Senate run, and already the liberal former DNC Chairman is attempting to mislead Virginians about his partisan record as the #1 cheerleader for the Democrats’ costly, unpopular agenda in Washington. In just the latest example of Kaine’s revisionist self-history, the Washington Examiner reports that Kaine claimed this week through a spokesperson that he “supported Obama’s reforms because an increasing number of small businesses could not afford health insurance for their employees.” That statement goes beyond creative spin – it’s demonstrably false.

Dean Heller (R-NV) to the United States Senate: “I congratulate Congressman Heller and look forward to welcoming him to the U.S. Senate. At this time of economic uncertainty, it is critical that we have common-sense, fiscally-responsible leaders like Dean Heller in Washington; leaders who are focused on creating real economic growth by supporting a balanced budget and reining in reckless Washington spending. “Dean’s Democratic opponents have embraced Harry Reid’s failed, big government policies, and if elected they will continue to steer our country on a downward path of fewer jobs, more spending and a record debt. Next year’s election is critical, and in the months ahead, voters throughout Nevada will see firsthand why Dean Heller is the right leader, at…
