National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Chairman Senator John Cornyn issued the following statement regarding the Texas Republican Senate Primary: “Congratulations to Ted Cruz and David Dewhurst on advancing to the run off.

Embattled Rep. Berkley Travels To Washoe, But Refuses To Discuss Her Failed Economic Record
After telling the people of Northern Nevada that she had her hands full representing Clark County and only wants to represent urban Las Vegas, today embattled Congresswoman Shelley Berkley travels to Washoe County. Rather than explaining why she followed Nancy Pelosi’s orders and voted for the failed $825 billion stimulus or President Obama’s job-killing healthcare law, Berkley will take Harry Reid’s talking points and attempt to paint Senator Dean Heller as “anti-women.” Remarkably, Berkley doesn’t even believe her own rhetoric because she recently told the Associated Press that Senator Heller (R-Carson City) is not anti-women. “After ignoring Northern Nevada for over a decade because she claimed that she was too busy looking out for herself and her Las Vegas constituents embattled Congresswoman Berkley has decided to venture into Washoe County,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “Rather than attacking Senator Heller, Berkley ought to tell these Nevadans…
Heitkamp Continues Raising Money With Liberal Icons
Spends Weekend Raising Money With Far Left Fellow Democratic Senate Candidates If for some reason you didn’t see Heidi Heitkamp walking the streets of Fargo, Williston, or Bismarck this weekend, it’s probably because she was 2,000 miles away walking the streets of Boston and New York raising money with liberal icons and fellow Democratic Senate candidates Elizabeth Warren and Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin. Heitkamp spent the weekend raising money with Warren – the self-proclaimed founder of the Occupy movement – the one who Barbara Streisand praised for her unrepentant liberalism. She was also fundraising with Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin – the person who believes ObamaCare didn’t go far enough. Notably, both Warren and Baldwin are avowed opponents of GOP efforts to move forward on the Keystone Pipeline, even though Heitkamp claims to support its construction when back home in North Dakota. And, don’t forget the goal of this fundraising junket is simply…
Kaine To Obama – “I Feel Your Pain”
***FLASHBACK*** Both Liberal Politicians Now Understand Unanimous Rejection Of Massive Tax Hike Proposals Whether it’s their support for a massive health care bill, reckless government spending, higher taxes or a record debt, there’s been little doubt that Tim Kaine and his former boss President Obama have a lot in common. But a vote in the Senate yesterday added another one to that long list. In an embarrassing and unanimous 99-0 rejection, every single Senator voted against President Obama’s massive budget proposal that was filled with even more spending and higher taxes. But only former DNC Chairman Tim Kaine could truly know how the President felt yesterday. As Virginia Governor in 2010, Kaine proposed one of the largest tax increases in the Commonwealth’s history which not even a single Democrat in the House of Delegates could bring themselves to support. As the Roanoke Times reported on January 22, 2010: Not a…
Nebraska Republican Senate Primary
“I congratulate State Senator Fischer on winning the Nebraska Republican Senate Primary, and look forward to her election in November. The difference in this race couldn’t be more clear. Deb is a small business rancher, mother and conservative leader who believes we need to spend less, balance our budget and repeal ObamaCare, while her opponent supports bigger government and higher taxes. It’s time to restore fiscal sanity and enact pro-jobs policies in Washington and we can do that with Deb Fischer as the next U.S. Senator from Nebraska.” – U.S. Senator John Cornyn, NRSC Chairman BACKGROUND…. Deb Fischer’s conservative record: · Passed the largest tax cut in Nebraska · Opposes the failed stimulus · Opposes ObamaCare · Supports a balanced budget amendment · A+ rating from the National Rifle Association · Has a perfect pro-life voting record Kerrey’s far-left record: · Bob Kerrey believes ObamaCare didn’t go far enough · Kerrey is vehemently opposed to a balanced budget…
Joe Donnelly’s Job-Killing Healthcare Law Forces Cardinal Health To Restructure Their Company
Donnelly’s Medical Device Tax Is Negatively Affecting Companies Throughout Indiana When liberal Democrat Joe Donnelly voted for Barack Obama’s $1.76 trillion healthcare law, it hit medical device companies across the country with a 2.3 percent tax and today Ohio’s Dublin’s Cardinal Health – which is the largest medical device company in the country – has announced they might restructure their company due to this job-killing tax. Cardinal Health joins other Indiana health care providers who are being forced into restructuring, cutting jobs or are no longer providing individual insurance coverage. Indiana’s medical device industry is the fifth largest in the United States and, as George Will noted this weekend, Cook Medical based in Bloomington, Indiana, is not planning to open a U.S. factory a year. Zimmer, also based in Indiana, is laying off 450 and taking a $50 million charge against earnings. Today the Columbus Dispatch reports: Medical-device manufacturers and…
Sherrod Brown’s Job-Killing Healthcare Law Could Force Cardinal Health To Restructure Their Company
Brown’s Medical Device Tax Is Negatively Affecting Companies Throughout Ohio When liberal Democrat Sherrod Brown voted for Barack Obama’s $1.76 trillion healthcare law, it hit medical device companies in Ohio with a 2.3 percent tax and today Dublin’s Cardinal Health has announced they might restructure their company due to this job-killing tax. Elyria’s Invacare – which employs 1,700 Ohioans – has also been negatively affected by this tax and stopped hiring new workers in anticipation of this burdensome tax. Additionally, Boston Scientific has said this tax could eliminate 45,000 jobs within the medical device community. As the Columbus Dispatch reports: Medical-device manufacturers and their advocates want to eliminate a 2.3 percent excise tax included in the federal health-care overhaul. Industry officials say the tax, which takes effect in January, would cost manufacturers about $20 billion during the next decade. The medical-device industry recorded about $136 billion in revenue in 2008. ……
Donnelly Can’t Defend Record, Kicks off General Election With Negative Attacks To Distract Hoosiers from Liberal Voting Record
Should apologize to Indiana for providing key votes for ObamaCare & Stimulus Voted with Nancy Pelosi 88% of the time In a clear admission that he can’t run and win on his own record, President Obama’s friend and supporter Joe Donnelly is kicking off his general election campaign today attacking State Treasurer Richard Mourdock in an effort to distract Hoosiers from his longtime support for the Obama agenda. According to WISH-TV, the Donnelly campaign is holding a press conference this morning to discuss plans to “take on Mourdock in the general election.” “Rather than kicking off his campaign attacking a fellow Hoosier, Joe Donnelly should begin his race by apologizing to the people of Indiana for providing the key votes to pass ObamaCare and the massive failed stimulus program,” said NRSC Spokesman Lance Trover. “Congressman Donnelly’s support of the Obama-Pelosi agenda is not the kind of leadership Hoosier’s are looking…

As Governor, Tim Kaine’s Record Includes Higher Taxes & More Spending
***FLASHBACK*** Earlier today, in an effort to distract Virginians from former Democrat National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tim Kaine’s job-killing record, Majority PAC released a negative commercial that attempted to smear George Allen’s pro-jobs record. The reality is when Tim Kaine served as Governor he tried to raise taxes on hard working families with a $2 billion-a-year income tax increase. Additionally, Kaine proposed raising taxes on individuals who purchase car insurance. “Given that Governor Tim Kaine tried to raise Virginians’ income taxes, is anyone surprised that his Super PAC is trying to smear George Allen’s successful, pro-jobs record?” asked National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “Virginians don’t need a tax-and-spend liberal like Chairman Kaine representing them in the Senate, instead they deserve a pro-jobs, pro-small business Senator who fight for families in the Commonwealth.” BACKGROUND … Tim Kaine’s Tax-And-Spend Record 2009: “‘Kaine Will Definitely Not Be Remembered For His…
