After Touting ObamaCare & Failed Stimulus, Kaine Is Hoping Virginians Will Forget His Record A little over three years after serving as the number one cheerleader in Washington for President Obama’s massive $825 billion stimulus spending bill, and flatly predicting that it would ‘save or create’ 3 million jobs, former DNC Chairman Tim Kaine is clearly hoping Virginians will forget his record today as he embarks on three economic roundtables with U.S. Senator Mark Warner in Hampton Roads, Northern Virginia, and Richmond. In addition to the tacit acknowledgment that his bold predictions on the failed stimulus did not prove accurate, Kaine also announced that “they will discuss strategies to help businesses hire and expand” even as Virginia small businesses – like Health First a medical supplier in Henrico and Glen Allen’s Rainbow Station –continue to suffer under ObamaCare. “On issue after issue, DNC Chairman Tim Kaine has been Barack Obama’s…
KERREY SAID IT: Liberal Democrat Bob Kerrey Said He Knew His Neighbors Better In New York Than In Nebraska
Kerrey Claims That New Yorkers Are More Friendly Than Nebraskans After serving in the United States Senate for 12 years, where he assembled a more liberal record than Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid, Bob Kerrey immediately left Washington, not for Nebraska but for New York City. After living in Greenwich Village for four years, Kerrey proudly proclaimed that the people were nicer in New York and that he knew his Manhattan neighbors better than his former neighbors in Nebraska. As The Villager reports in 2005: “[Kerrey] waxed euphoric about the Village neighborhood: ‘Actually, you get to know your neighbors here better than we did in Nebraska. That’s because you walk around a lot, and there are so many shops, and you get to know many of the shopkeepers.’ He does a lot of listening, he says, and he finds the community response to his interests ‘transparent and honest.’” (Ed Gold,…
Donnelly’s Economic Plan for Hoosiers: Tax Increases
“Policy Tour” likely won’t mention supporting ObamaCare, Stimulus On a so-called policy tour of Indiana, Congressman Joe Donnelly today told WIBC radio that he is in favor of raising taxes on Hoosiers in order to solve our nation’s budget deficit. Donnelly’s support of tax increases should come as no surprise considering he’s been an ardent backer of President Obama’s economic agenda throughout the last three years: Donnelly voted for the failed stimulus program driving us even further into debt Donnelly provided a key vote for ObamaCare which is raising taxes, driving up the cost of health care across the country, and hurting small businesses in Indiana As Cong. Donnelly tours Indiana this week and talks about all the nifty ideas he now has to create jobs – maybe he will explain why he would vote for a $787 billion spending plan wrought with waste and a massive government takeover of…
NRSC Marks 2-Year Anniversary of Heidi Heitkamp’s ObamaCare Rally
Web Video Highlights Heitkamp’s Desperate Attempt to Distance Herself from ObamaCare The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) today released a web video highlighting the two-year anniversary of Heidi Heitkamp’s boisterous rally in defense of ObamaCare. The video sheds light on Heitkamp’s competing statements from two years ago ardently supporting ObamaCare versus her current rhetoric attempting to distance herself from President Obama’s job-killing legislation, which is opposed by 70% of North Dakotans. In 2010, Heidi Heitkamp rallied North Dakotans to support ObamaCare saying “…we have to continue to defend our very, very, very courageous congressional delegation. This is a legacy vote, this is a vote they will look back on and their children will look back on and they will say my red state Democrat grandfather or great-grandfather voted for that bill because it made sense.” Calling it a “legacy vote,” Heitkamp proudly told the people that the bill would help…
Tester Campaign Caught Misleading Montanans On Budget Votes
***HYPOCRISY ALERT*** After Refusing To Even Introduce A Budget & Voting Against Four Separate Proposals, Tester Has The Audacity To Attack Rehberg File this one under “You Can’t Make It Up” – as of today it has now been 1,066 days since Jon Tester and Senate Democrats last passed a budget in the U.S. Senate, while the federal debt has skyrocketed past $15 trillion. And just as they did last year, Tester and his Democratic colleagues are refusing to even introduce a budget in the Senate this year. Yet, as Politico reports, Tester’s campaign had the audacity to put this out yesterday after the Republican-led House voted on a budget: Tester’s camp anticipated this vote, and charged that it’s irresponsible for Rehberg to be against both the GOP blueprint and the president’s budget. “Congressman Rehberg just voted against seven different budget proposals–from the right, left and center–without offering any alternatives…
President Obama & Chairman Kaine’s EPA Issues Job-Killing Regulations on Coal Fired Power Plants
Earlier this week, as the Supreme Court was hearing the oral arguments against Barack Obama and Tim Kaine’s intrusive healthcare law, the Obama Administration issued their job-killing EPA regulation on the coal industry. According to the Sierra Club these new regulations will cease production of any new coal plants, kill jobs and increase energy rates on hard-working families in Virginia. This is troubling for Virginians given that coalfields in the Commonwealth create thousands of coal-related jobs. It’s an interesting development considering while campaigning in San Francisco in 2008, Barack Obama promised that his cap-and-trade program would bankrupt the coal industry. As The Hill reports: The Environmental Protection Agency proposed first-of-their-kind regulations Tuesday to limit greenhouse gas emissions from new power plants. … Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune was even more blunt. He told Bloomberg that the rules “will make it nearly impossible to build a new coal plant,” and…
If You Want To See Who Bob Kerrey Will Stand With In The Senate, See Who He’s Standing With Today
Reid, Schumer & Top Senate Liberals Raise Money For Embattled Kerrey After making a backroom deal with Harry Reid, liberal Democrat Bob Kerrey is coming to Washington to cash in on some of the promises that the Democrat Leader made to him. And if Nebraskans want to see who Bob Kerrey will stand side-by-side with if they send him to the Senate, they should see who he’s standing with at a fancy Capitol Hill fundraiser tonight. Reid, Schumer and their liberal colleagues will be hosting a fundraiser for their former colleague, where they will undoubtedly thank Kerrey – who supports Barack Obama’s government-run healthcare law and his job-killing cap-and-trade initiative – for deciding to “leave” New York City to run for the Senate in Nebraska. “Harry Reid made a slew of promises to get liberal Democrat Bob Kerrey to run for the Senate and this fundraiser with the liberal…
NRSC Statement On President Obama’s Hand-Picked Candidate Richard Carmona
National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Communications Director Brian Walsh issued the following statement in response to reports that national Democrats have shoved aside former State Party Chair Don Bivens in favor of their anointed candidate Richard Carmona: “After President Obama personally recruited Richard Carmona to run for the Senate, it should surprise no one that the liberal Washington establishment would eventually clear the field for their anointed candidate and loyal ally. “Today’s news only serves as a reminder to Arizonans that a vote for Carmona this November is a vote for President Obama’s liberal, big government agenda of higher taxes, reckless Washington spending and job-killing healthcare takeovers. “We look forward to hearing when President Obama and Richard Carmona will be campaigning side-by-side in Arizona in the days ahead.” BACKGROUND … “On September 23, President Obama called Richard Carmona to encourage him to run,” said one Democratic strategist. (Alexander Burns, Obama…
Barack Obama & Claire McCaskill’s EPA Issues Job-Killing Regulations on Coal-Fired Power Plants
Sierra Club Claims This Will Put An End To Coal Fired Power Plants Missouri #6 in Nation in Coal Use, #23 in Coal Production As the Supreme Court continues to hear the oral arguments against President Obama and Claire McCaskill’s intrusive healthcare law, today the Obama Administration issued job-killing regulations on the coal industry, which could cease production of any new coal plants, killing thousands of jobs and raising energy rates. McCaskill had an opportunity to reign in these unelected bureaucrats and their mandates, but rather than standing up for Missouri, she decided to support the agenda of extreme environmentalists. Despite the fact Missouri is No. 6 in the nation in coal use, the Sierra Club trumpeted these new regulations because they claim it will ultimately put an end to coal fired power plants. As The Hill reports: The Environmental Protection Agency proposed first-of-their-kind regulations Tuesday to limit greenhouse gas…
Barack Obama & Bob Casey’s EPA Issues Job-Killing Regulations on Coal Fired Power Plants
Sierra Club Claims This Will Put An End To Coal Fired Power Plants PA 4th Largest Coal Mining State, Mandate will cost Pennsylvanian jobs As the Supreme Court continues to hear the oral arguments against Barack Obama and Bob Casey’s intrusive healthcare law, today the Obama Administration issued job-killing regulations on the coal industry, which could cease production of any new coal plants and kill thousands of jobs in the Keystone State. Casey had an opportunity to reign in these unelected bureaucrats and their mandates, but rather than standing up for Pennsylvania, he decided to support the agenda of extreme environmentalists. Even though Pennsylvania is the fourth largest coal mining state and this mandate will destroy jobs, the Sierra Club praised these new regulations because they claim it will ultimately put an end to coal fired power plants. As The Hill reports: The Environmental Protection Agency proposed first-of-their-kind regulations Tuesday…
