NRSC Statement On Joe Donnelly

“For Hoosiers Who Like Higher Taxes, A Record Debt & ObamaCare, They Will Love Joe Donnelly” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Communications Director Brian Walsh issued the following statement in response to reports that liberal U.S. Representative Joe Donnelly (D-IN) will announce for the U.S. Senate in Indiana tomorrow: “Just months after voters overwhelmingly rejected Brad Ellsworth’s liberal policies, Joe Donnelly wants to sell Hoosiers on that exact same big-spending, job-killing Washington agenda. We welcome him into the race and look forward to him campaigning side-by-side with President Obama.  “Just like Ellsworth, Donnelly has been a partisan rubber stamp for liberal Democrat leaders in Washington, helping them ram through ObamaCare and the failed $787 billion stimulus debacle.

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. The fact is, America’s job-creating small businesses are among the hardest hit by the Democrats’ massive health care overhaul – and Virginia small business owners have said as much, both before and after the Democrats rammed it into law.
