Back In Washington Nelson Has Been A Rubber Stamp For Obama’s Failed Agenda Today, President Barack Obama will return to Florida where he is scheduled to visit the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. One notable person missing from this magical trip is U.S. Senator Bill Nelson. Nelson’s absence stems from the fact that he’s supported President Obama’s failed agenda over 97 percent of time – including his failed $825 billion stimulus and $2.5 trillion government-run healthcare bill – which has suddenly imperiled his re-elect. In a desperate attempt to revive his sagging poll numbers, Nelson has suddenly become increasingly critical of the President, blaming him “for creating a toxic political environment for Democrats nationwide.” “President Obama and Senator Nelson’s big government policies haven’t been that magical for Floridians because not only did their $825 billion stimulus fail to ‘create or save’ 206,000 jobs, but their government-run healthcare law raided…
NRSC Releases New Video: Big Apple Bob
Reminds Nebraskans That Bob Kerrey Is To The Left Of Ben Nelson On Almost Every Issue As former Nebraska Democrat Senator-turned-New York City resident Bob Kerrey contemplates moving back to the Cornhusker State after more than 10 years, the National Republican Senatorial Committee has unveiled a new web video reminding Nebraskans exactly where Mr. Kerrey stands on a wide variety of issues. Nebraskans will quickly learn that Mr. Kerrey is actually far more liberal than Ben Nelson. Kerrey actually supports a more radical version of government-run healthcare, taxpayer funded abortions, cap-and-trade, and strongly opposes a balanced budget amendment. “After living in New York City for 11 years, Nebraskans were probably surprised to see Bob Kerrey back in Nebraska telling them that he supports President Obama’s healthcare law and his job-killing cap-and-trade bill,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “Bob Kerrey is far more liberal than even Ben…
Bob Kerrey To The Left Of Even Ben Nelson On ObamaCare
Former Nebraska Senator-Turned-New Yorker Is A Fierce Supporter Of Government-Run Healthcare As former Nebraska Democrat Senator Bob Kerrey turned New York City resident returns to the Cornhusker State, Nebraskans may be surprised to learn where Mr. Kerrey stands on a wide variety of issues, including President Obama’s $2.5 trillion healthcare bill. What Nebraskans will quickly learn is that not only does Mr. Kerrey support government-run healthcare, but that Kerrey is even more liberal than Ben Nelson on the issue because he supports the government-run public option. Even more remarkable is that Kerrrey once told a group of New Yorkers that the longer he lives in New York City the further to the left he gets on ObamaCare. BOB KERREY: “From My Standpoint, It Isn’t Just Because I Live In Greenwich Village Now – The Longer I Live Here, The Further To The Left I Get On Health Care.” (Bob Kerrey,…
NRSC Releases New Video Marking Tim Kaine’s Record As President Obama’s Number One Cheerleader In Washington
Reminds Virginians That Kaine Will Serve Obama Ahead of Virginia Marking the three-year anniversary of President Obama’s appointment of Tim Kaine to Chair the Democratic National Committee in Washington where he became the President’s number one cheerleader for his liberal, big government agenda, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) launched a new web video today – Obama & Kaine: One And The Same. The video also includes footage of Kaine on the campaign trail just last week where he reiterated that he’s “an unabashed supporter” of President Obama and his policies. “If Virginians want to know whose interests Tim Kaine will serve if elected to the Senate, they don’t need to look any further than to see whose interests he’s been serving for the last three years,” NRSC spokesman Brian Walsh said today. “Whether it was ObamaCare, the failed stimulus, or the Democrats’ reckless spending spree, Tim Kaine has consistently…
Brown Voted To Protect The EPA’s Job-Killing Regulations That Could Force A Power Plant In Ohio To Shut Down
Ohio Is Expected To Lose Over 53,000 Jobs Due To The EPA’s Job-Killing Regulations As the unelected bureaucrats who work in President Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continue to create their job-killing regulations, earlier today it was reported that these burdensome rules will likely force at least one Ohio power plant to shut down – and likely several more in the months ahead – and put an untold number of Ohioans out of work. This is devastating news for families in Ohio and it’s worth noting that liberal U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown had an opportunity to rein in these job-killing regulations, but decided to vote against an amendment that would have stopped the EPA from implementing their job-killing regulations. As the Dayton Daily News reports: “Facing the prospect of having to shut down a coal-burning power plant that employs 50, Dayton Power & Light said it’s studying a plan to…
Claire McCaskill’s Revisionist History Tour Continues
Claims To Oppose Cap-And-Trade After Voting For It, While Continuing Silence On Obama EPA’s Harmful Policies In a press release from her official office yesterday, Senator Claire McCaskill announced that she’s embarking on a statewide “energy tour” beginning with an event today at the Ralls County Electric Cooperative in New London, and remarkably, said further, “McCaskill bucked her own party in recent years, opposing the failed ‘Cap & Trade’ energy policies proposed in Congress.” There’s just one big problem with that statement – it’s simply not true. In fact, when a cap-and-trade bill sponsored by California’s ultra-liberal Senator Barbara Boxer came before the Senate for a vote in 2008, McCaskill stood with Boxer and voted to move it forward. Fortunately, Senate Republicans, and not Senator McCaskill, ultimately blocked this disastrous bill from moving forward any further. “It’s clear that Senator McCaskill is desperate to distract Missourians from her very liberal…
A Look Back….Remember What Chairman Tim Kaine Said One Year Ago Today?
“What Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats achieved over the past four years has fundamentally improved the quality of life for Americans across the country, and has restored the promise of the American Dream for millions of Americans and their families.” – Tim Kaine, 1/4/11 One year ago today, before he considered running for the U.S. Senate and running away from his record as the number one cheerleader for the Obama-Pelosi agenda, Chairman Tim Kaine loudly praised House Speaker and San Francisco liberal Nancy Pelosi for her leadership in Washington. Kaine had previously predicted that Pelosi would remain Speaker just before the American people overwhelmingly rejected her big government agenda and Democrats went on to lose 63 House seats, including several in Virginia. “If voters in Virginia want to see who Tim Kaine will stand with if elected to the Senate, they don’t need to look any further than to see…
Obama Set To Bring His Campaign To Cleveland, While Sherrod Brown Ducks – Again
But Back In Washington Brown Has Been A Rubber Stamp For Obama’s Failed Agenda Today, President Barack Obama returns to Ohio, but one person missing from his entourage is Cleveland’s own Sherrod Brown, who has been a strong supporter of Obama’s tax-and-spend agenda. Brown began the Obama Presidency by supporting his failed $825 billion stimulus – which he promised would repair the Brent Spence Bridge down in Cincinnati – and was a fierce supporter of Obama’s $2.5 trillion healthcare bill. That’s not all, Brown, who once campaigned as a deficit hawk, broke his campaign promise for Obama’s massive spending spree by voting to increase the debt ceiling and he was literally one of the first supporters of his second $450 billion stimulus. “As President Obama travels to Cleveland, Ohioans will always remember that whether it was his support of the failed $825 billion stimulus or his crucial vote for ObamaCare,…
Klobuchar’s Government-Run Healthcare Bill Puts Minnesota Small Businesses Out Of Business
58 Tanning Salons Have Closed Due To ObamaCare’s Indoor Tanning Tax Two years ago, liberal United States Senator Amy Klobuchar provided President Barack Obama with a crucial vote for his $2.5 trillion job-killing healthcare bill, which contained a 10 percent tax on indoor tanning and has now resulted in the closure of nearly 60 tanning salons in Minnesota. As the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports: The recession and a still-sluggish economy have pulled many businesses under. Indoor tanning salons say they’ve been dealt an additional blow, courtesy of the federal government. The Indoor Tanning Association, an industry group, claims that 14 percent of tanning salons in Minnesota have gone out of business since 2009, a decline from 477 to 419. The group blames the additional burden of a 10 percent tax placed on salons starting July 1, 2010, as part of the health care reform law. … “Whether or not you…
WAIVER DENIED: Obama Administration Denies Michigan’s Waiver From Stabenow’s $2.5 Trillion Healthcare Law
Legislation Will Cost Michiganders $1.2 Billion In Additional Medicaid Expenses Two years ago, liberal United States Senator Debbie Stabenow provided President Barack Obama with the 60th and final vote for his job-killing healthcare bill, which saddled the Wolverine State with $1.2 billion in additional Medicaid expenses. Faced with the possibility of insurers leaving the state, the Wolverine State applied for a waiver from fully implementing the ominous $2.5 trillion law. Unfortunately, the un-elected bureaucrats at Health and Human Services (HHS) rejected their request. As The Hill reports: “The Health and Human Services Department on Monday denied a sixth state’s request for an adjustment to certain rules under the new healthcare law. HHS rejected Michigan’s request for an adjustment to the law’s medical loss ratio (MLR) requirements. The law requires insurance plans for individuals to meet an 80 percent MLR, meaning they must spend 80 percent of their premiums on…
