By Reid’s Logic, Shelley Berkley Used Her Office To Enrich Herself, Until She Proves Otherwise After calling the President of the United States a loser and the Federal Reserve Chairman a political hack, yesterday Harry Reid sunk to a new low when he hurled the baseless claim that Governor Mitt Romney hasn’t paid taxes in 10 years. Reid’s undignified statement is remarkable, given that he’s claimed that his liberal protégé, embattled Congresswoman Shelley Berkley is innocent, despite the fact that 5 of her Democrat colleagues believe that it’s very possible the Congresswoman used her office to enrich herself. “Once again Democrat Leader Harry Reid has embarrassed himself, the State of Nevada and his Democrat colleagues in the U.S. Senate by hurling a wild accusation that he cannot verify,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “Given Reid’s belief that one is guilty until proven innocent, then according to his logic he…

As Shelley Berkley Celebrates The Birth Of Medicare, Nevadans Are Reminded That She Cut $500 Billion From The Program
Berkley’s Job-Killing Healthcare Law Cut Over $500 Billion From Medicare Two years ago liberal U.S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley – at the urging of Nancy Pelosi – voted for President Obama’s healthcare bill that raided over $500 billion from Medicare in order to expand government and yet today she’s hoping Nevadans will forget that vote. According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), ObamaCare will cut $500 billion from Medicare, which includes $200 billion from Medicare Advantage, $150 billion from hospitals and nursing homes and $40 billion from home healthcare. “It’s remarkable that Shelley Berkley would celebrate the birth of Medicare, given that she recently raided over $500 billion from the program for her job-killing healthcare law,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “This fall, Nevadans will remember that Shelley Berkley is the only candidate that has cut Medicare.” Notably, as Nevada continues to suffer from the highest unemployment rate in the country, the Wall…

Stabenow…
