As President Barack Obama prepares to deliver his State of the Union address tonight, the White House has made it clear that he will use the occasion to call for significant additional stimulus spending under the guise of “investment.” Notably, President Obama referred to the Democrats’ failed $787 billion stimulus bill – which liberal U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) rubberstamped – as “investment” 14 times during the bill’s signing ceremony. The Obama Administration also projected that, with the Democrats’ stimulus “investment,” national unemployment would not rise above 8 percent – but today, unemployment remains at nearly 10 percent. With our national debt at more than $14 trillion and the overwhelming majority of Americans calling for leaders in Washington to reduce the federal budget deficit, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) today called on Casey to tell voters exactly where he stands on President Obama’s forthcoming proposals for more stimulus spending….

Menendez Embraces Senate Rules Changes That He Once Likened To Castro Regime
U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ), who remains under federal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice, is now leading the charge to change the Senate’s rules, which would dramatically strengthen the Democrats’ power in the Senate. Menendez told The Jersey Journal editorial board that he now wants to change the rules governing the filibuster, a parliamentary procedure that gives the minority party a voice by requiring 60 votes to move forward on major legislation. However, when Senate Democrats were in the minority in 2005, Menendez not only took the exact opposite position, but went even further by comparing efforts to change the filibuster rules to the actions of the Communist regime in Cuba and accused Republicans of “trampling on the rights of millions of Americans.” Click Here To Watch Then-Congressman Menendez Bitterly Oppose Filibuster Reform in 2005 “Senator Menendez owes the people of New Jersey an explanation – is he…
McCaskill Recycles Old Feingold Proposal in Effort to Mask Big-Spending Record
Facing a difficult reelection battle, 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 cost-saving measure to forgo pay raises for members of Congress. As McCaskill posted on Twitter Monday, “Next up in reform package,intro’ing law tomrrw to PERMANENTLY end auto pay raises for Congress.” McCaskill co-sponsored a similar measure introduced by former U.S. Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) in 2010, which while saving taxpayers just $850,000, was designed to distract voters from Feingold’s support for trillions of dollars in new spending, including the failed $787 billion stimulus debacle, and the costly, unpopular health care overhaul – both of which McCaskill also rubberstamped and Missouri voters strongly reject. Last November, the voters of Wisconsin made clear that they saw through Feingold’s political games and voted him out of office. To better put McCaskill’s…
As Florida Sheds 17,900 Jobs, Nelson Insists “Improving” Economy Will Aid Reelection Bid
As the Associated Press reports, liberal U.S. Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) has expressed confidence that he and President Barack Obama – whose liberal agenda Nelson has rubberstamped in Washington – will fare well with Florida voters in 2012, because Nelson insists “the economy is improving.” But as Nelson stakes his reelection on Florida’s economic health, the St. Petersburg Times notes that the “bottom-line numbers released Friday weren’t encouraging: the state shed an estimated 17,900 jobs between November and December and its unemployment rate was unchanged at 12 percent.” Notably, Nelson rubberstamped President Obama’s $787 billion stimulus debacle, which has failed to create jobs while driving our national debt past $14 trillion. “Does Bill Nelson really believe that 18,000 lost jobs and 12 percent unemployment is an ‘improvement’ for Florida?” asked National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Press Secretary Chris Bond. “While Nelson is busy talking about his reelection campaign, Florida’s families…
After Flip-Flopping To Support Earmark Ban, Bill Nelson Returns To Big-Spending Ways
Just weeks after he reversed positions to support an earmark moratorium, U.S. Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) is returning to his big-spending ways, pledging to “keep…fighting for” pork-barrel earmarks after all. As National Journal’s “Hotline On Call” reported at the time of Nelson’s flip-flop, the liberal incumbent’s support of the earmark ban demonstrated that he was “trying to guard [his] right flank on spending,” as the issue of fiscal responsibility continues to drive the nation’s electorate as a “a dominant political issue.” Federal spending and the country’s debt have become particularly critical issues in Florida, which faces high unemployment and has become “more red after the election results this year.” “If Senator Nelson really believes spending is out of control and earmarks need to be banned, why is he now preparing to seek more earmarks?” asked National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Press Secretary Chris Bond. “He can’t have it both ways…
NRSC To National Democrats: We Agree – Jim Webb Is In Trouble
It’s not often that we find ourselves citing the words of national Democrat strategists in Washington to highlight why Senate Democrats like Jim Webb, Claire McCaskill, Jon Tester, and others are in political trouble as they prepare to face voters in 2012. But I would draw your attention to this statement from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) this morning in which they attack former U.S. Sen. George Allen for “wildly spending taxpayer dollars, and racking up our national debt.” The DSCC went on to say that “[w]e don’t come across a lot of voters these days hungering for that type of experience.” We would point out that when Senator Allen left office in January 2007, the national debt was $8.6 trillion and it took our country over 200 years to reach that level of debt. Yet, in just the four years since Democrats took control of the Senate with…
