Yesterday, Democrat Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster (D-MO) broke with his party, and urged a federal judge to invalidate ObamaCare’s onerous individual mandate – reminding voters of U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill’s (D-MO) long-standing support for the mandate, including her assertion that those who oppose it are “dumb.” Not only did McCaskill help her Washington party bosses ram ObamaCare into law, she voted specifically to defeat an amendment that would have removed the individual mandate from the bill. And McCaskill repeatedly insisted that ObamaCare and its individual mandate – which 72 percent of Missouri voters rejected at the polls last year – was constitutional. But McCaskill didn’t stop there – she even went so far as to call those who oppose her individual mandate “frankly kind of dumb,” leading the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) to ask – does Claire McCaskill think Attorney General Koster is “dumb?” “In her own words,…
Claire McCaskill Loves Transparency… Just Not For Herself
In the wake of reports that she improperly billed taxpayers for purely political travel on her private airplane and failed to pay more than $300,000 in personal property taxes on that same aircraft, U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) has repeatedly claimed that neither she nor her family personally profited from her taxpayer-funded travel. Notably, just weeks ago McCaskill said “[t]he key is if public dollars are involved it needs to be transparent.” But despite vocally demanding transparency of others – and despite acknowledging that she and her husband are “a team” and “share everything” – the Kansas City Star reports today that McCaskill still refuses to prove her claim to Missourians by simply releasing her and her husband’s tax returns for their shell companies associated with the plane. Instead, as the Star reports, McCaskill contends that “subjecting herself to that level of scrutiny would expose her to all kinds of…
NRSC Statement On Ed Case
National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Communications Director Brian Walsh issued the following statement regarding former U.S. Representative Ed Case’s (D-HI) entrance into the Hawaii U.S. Senate race: “Ed Case is simply the first of many candidates in what we expect will be a long, divisive Democrat primary. It speaks volumes of the challenges national Democrats face in 2012 that they are being forced to play defense in President Obama’s home state of Hawaii, while Republicans continue to view this race as a promising pickup opportunity.”
Where Does Kaine Stand On Democrats’ Efforts To Shut Down Government While Blocking Funding For Troops?
In an effort to keep the federal government open and ensure full funding for America’s military men and women, the U.S. House of Representatives is preparing to pass a one-week continuing resolution today that will also preserve full funding for our troops through September 2011. But unfortunately, liberal U.S. Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) took to the Senate floor today to blast the troop funding bill, calling it a “non-starter,” and once again threatened a government shutdown. Meanwhile, just minutes ago, President Barack Obama threatened to veto the troop funding bill if it is passed by Congress. Notably, while liberal Democrat leaders play politics with the troop funding plan, U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) expressed his full support for the measure on the Senate floor today, saying: This bill does everything Democrats have previously said they want.
