While U.S. Congressman Jeff Flake has unveiled his six point plan for economic growth and prosperity, earlier this week Democrat Richard Carmona revealed that his economic plan was to double-down on President Obama’s failed economic policies of higher taxes and more government spending. Carmona told The Hill that he will oppose a full extension of the 2001 and 2003 Congressional tax cuts. According to reports, this will cost small business owners in Arizona with $3.5 billion in lost economic output and could kill 13,000 jobs in the Grand Canyon State. As The Hill reports: “I would be willing to enter into discussion to say, people making over $250 or $300 or $500 [thousand] could pay, and you know, I’m a high wage-earner, and if I had to do that to help out for the next year, OK, I’ll do that.” (Alex Jaffe, Senate Candidate Carmona Has Dems Seeing Blue In Red-State Arizona, The Hill, 9/24/12) Notably, Carmona is…
Tammy Baldwin Said ObamaCare Would Make Healthcare More Affordable, Yet Costs Continue To Rise
Since Baldwin’s Costly Health Care Law Was Passed Premiums Have Increased WASHINGTON — While she was advocating for her $1.76 trillion, job-killing healthcare law, liberal Madison Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin time after time promised that ObamaCare would lower the cost of healthcare, yet today a new report reveals Americans are now paying more for their health care. As the Washington Post reports: “Spending for private health insurance surged by 4.6 percent in 2011…That growth rate is faster than the rest of the economy and higher than the previous year, which had 3.8 percent growth. Average spending on a private insurance patient rose to $4,547 in 2011, compared with $4,349 in 2010. That statistic suggests that a recent downturn in health-care spending may have been a temporary product of the recession rather than a more permanent change, as some health-care economists have hoped.” (Sarah Kliff, Health insurance costs grew slowly for two years. Now, they’re speeding up,Washington…

Heitkamp Campaigns Today With Fellow ObamaCare Supporter Senator Mark Begich Across The United States ObamaCare Took $716 Billion From Seniors On Medicare It was a little more than two years ago, when Democrat Heidi Heitkamp told North Dakotans that the $1.76 trillion healthcare bill was a “legacy vote” that would lower the cost of health care, but what Heitkamp did not tell voters is that ObamaCare will cut $1 billion from North Dakota seniors on Medicare including $107 million in Burleigh County where she is campaigning today with Alaska Senator Mark Begich.

Who is Elizabeth Warren?
It appears Elizabeth Warren jinxed herself when a local Massachusetts TV reporter asked her, “Is there anything else going to come out about you that we don’t already know?” Warren replied, “You know, I don’t think so, but who knows!” As it turns out, there is. Warren claims to be the candidate who will fight for workers, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. In 1995, Warren was hired by LTV Steel when they attempted to dodge paying health and pension benefits to thousands of retired coal miners. How can Warren be the self-proclaimed candidate of the blue-collar worker, when she was one of the biggest advocates for a large corporation during the time they attempted to get out of paying their retired employees their fair share in health benefits? Warren has claimed to be a Native American, a warrior for workers, and a Massachusetts lawyer. None of these…
After Supporting Liberal Tax-And-Spend Budgets In Washington, Tammy Baldwin Claims She’s Fiscally Responsible
Baldwin Supported The Liberal Progressive Caucus’ FY 2012, FY 2010 and FY 2009 Budget After supporting some of the most radical tax-and-spend budgets ever in Washington, last week liberal Madison Congresswoman claimed that she’s fiscally responsible. Yet Baldwin has been a staunch supporter of the liberal Progressive Caucus’ budget proposals. In 2011, she voted for their $3.9 trillion budget that increased spending and raised taxes on every working Wisconsinites because it attempted to wipe out the ’01 and ’03 Congressional tax cuts. Additionally, she’s on record supporting their FY 2010 and FY 2009 budgets, which too raised taxes and increased spending. Notably, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel has reported that Baldwin has the most liberal voting record of any Wisconsin lawmaker in the last 40 years. “It’s sad that liberal Madison Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin has gone to such lengths to deceive voters about her reckless spending habits,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “These misleading statements prove…
