In a speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate yesterday, liberal Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) – who remains under federal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice – asserted that paying higher taxes is “just as patriotic” as serving in the armed forces in Afghanistan. As Politico’s Ben Smith noted yesterday afternoon, “[t]he question of whether paying more taxes is a mark of patriotism drew some controversy when Joe Biden made that case during the 2008 campaign, and New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez took it a step further on the Senate floor today.” “Millionaires and billionaires can be just as patriotic and willing to pay their fair share as a soldier in Afghanistan whose family is living on an army paycheck,” declared Menendez.

Another day, another massive flip-flop for Ben Nelson. Despite consistently claiming to be pro-life, U.S. Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE) stood with his liberal Democrat leaders this evening and voted against cutting off federal funding to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), which the National Right To Life Committee (NRLC) has called “the nation’s largest abortion provider.” Notably, fellow Nebraska U.S. Senator Mike Johanns (R-NE) voted in support of ending federal funding for Planned Parenthood. “The next time anyone hears Ben Nelson claim to be pro-life, we hope they remember his vote today,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Chris Bond said today. “Once again, Ben Nelson was given the opportunity of standing with Nebraska or standing with the far left in Washington, and he chose the latter.
