After Supporting Billions In Reckless Spending, Debt, McCaskill Turns Focus On Senate’s Paperclip Supply
Once again, liberal U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is attempting to distract voters from her support for billions of dollars in reckless spending and debt by introducing a minor, symbolic cost-saving measure aimed at aiding her uphill reelection bid. McCaskill will hold a press conference at the Springfield-Branson National Airport today as she continues her election-cycle posturing on fiscal issues, including her proposal for Congressional offices to return 10 percent of their office funds to the U.S. Treasury. Last month, McCaskill made a similar attempt to woo voters with a symbolic measure that would save only several hundred thousand dollars. Notably, in an appearance on Fox News Sunday this week, McCaskill would not say where she stands on the House of Representatives’ budget proposal, and the only three fiscal measures she would put on the table were raising taxes on families by capping itemized deductions, raising energy taxes, and considering…
As Republicans Vote To Block ObamaCare Funding, Montanans Are Reminded Of Tester’s Unwavering Support Of Health Care Overhaul
By a decisive 239 to 187 vote, the U.S. House of Representatives today approved an amendment by U.S. Representative Denny Rehberg (R-MT) to block the Obama Administration from spending taxpayer dollars to carry out their costly, unpopular health care overhaul. As the Wall Street Journal reports: The House voted 239 to 187 to approve an amendment by Rep. Denny Rehberg (R., Mont.) that blocks the Obama administration from spending to carry out the overhaul. The provision was added to a bill funding the federal government through the remaining months of fiscal 2011. The chamber also approved three other amendments with the same aim. “We wanted to create jobs. You wasted time on the health-care reform,” Mr. Rehberg said on the House floor, addressing Democrats. Liberal U.S. Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) not only gave President Obama the decisive 60th vote to ram the Democrats’ health care overhaul into law on a straight party line,…
NRSC Statement On Senator Bingaman’s Decision Not To Seek Reelection
National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Communications Director Brian Walsh issued the following statement regarding reports that U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) will not seek reelection in 2012. “It speaks volumes about the state of the two political parties that as strong Republican candidates step forward in key races, Senate Democrats in important battleground states are stepping aside. Like the earlier retirements in North Dakota and Virginia, Senator Bingaman’s decision immediately presents another strong pickup opportunity for Senate Republicans. It also further limits the ability of national Democrats to play offense when their resources will be spread out over such an expansive defensive map. “Whomever the Democrats now choose as their nominee, this election will offer a clear contrast for voters in New Mexico between a fiscally responsible Republican leader and a Democrat who believes we should stay the course on more spending, more taxes, and more government.”
