NRSC Statement On Arizona Democrat U.S. Senate Primary
National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Communications Director Brian Walsh issued the following statement in response to reports that national Democrats have convinced former U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona to enter Arizona’s Democrat U.S. Senate primary against two-time former state Democrat Party Chairman Don Bivens: “With their eagerness to recruit Richard Carmona, national Democrats have chosen to create a costly, divisive primary and pit themselves against a growing list of Arizona liberals who have thrown their weight behind former two-time state Democrat Party chairman Don Bivens. It’s clear that Carmona is the hand-picked candidate of the Washington Democrat establishment. It’s also clear that, whichever candidate emerges from this contentious Democrat primary, he’ll have a difficult time selling Arizonans on his support for ObamaCare and the rest of President Obama’s failed, tax-and-spend agenda in Washington.” On October 6th, barely a week after two-time former Democrat Party Chairman Don Bivens’ entrance into the…
Kaine’s Election-Cycle Rhetoric Doesn’t Match Record Of Scuttling Offshore Energy Jobs In Virginia
Previously Stood In Way Of New Energy Jobs… As Virginia voters headed to the polls yesterday, the Obama Administration once again acted to block thousands of good-paying new jobs by excluding the Commonwealth from its new five-year oil and gas leasing plan. As the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports: Offshore drilling has been pushed farther onto the horizon for Virginia. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar today announced the five-year oil and gas leasing plan for 2012-2017, and Virginia isn’t on the list. Notably, in addition to criticism of the plan from members of both parties, President Obama’s hand-picked former DNC Chairman Tim Kaine also weighed in, saying in a press release that he was “disappointed” with his former boss’s decision… But Virginians will find that Kaine’s new politically-convenient posture simply doesn’t square with his previous efforts to scuttle offshore energy production in Virginia… In 2006, Environment & Energy News reported that…
Ohio Sharply Rebukes Barack Obama & Sherrod Brown For Their Job-Killing Healthcare Law
Yesterday Over 2.2 Million Ohioans Voiced Their Displeasure With ObamaCare Yesterday, Ohioans went to the ballot box and expressed their deep frustration with President Barack Obama and Senator Sherrod Brown’s $2.5 trillion government-run healthcare law that forces every Ohioan to purchase health insurance by supporting Ohio Health Care Amendment Issue 3. Senator Brown was a strong proponent of President Obama’s government-run healthcare initiative and even voted, separately and specifically, to keep the individual mandate in the healthcare bill, because he said it was the way to implement ObamaCare. Brown Voted To Kill An Amendment That Would Have Removed The Individual Mandate From The Health Care Bill. “Baucus, D-Mont., motion to table (kill) the Ensign, R-Nev. amendment no. 3710 that would repeal provisions of the 2010 health care overhaul law that provide for IRS penalties for certain taxpayers that do not obtain basic health insurance coverage.” (H.R. 4872, CQ Vote #101:…
Actions Speak Louder Than Words … Shelley Berkley Claims Job Creation Is Her Top Priority, But She’s Voted Against 13 Bipartisan Jobs Bills
Earlier this week, Congresswoman Shelley Berkley wrote an op-ed for the Las Vegas Review-Journal where she chastised folks in Washington for failing to focus on legislation that would create jobs in Nevada. Berkley said that Washington should be focused on legislation that will put people back to work every waking hour. “Unfortunately, far too many in Washington just don’t have their priorities straight. With the highest unemployment rate in the nation, one would expect Nevada’s representatives in our nation’s capital to be spending every waking hour focused like a laser on getting people back to work. Instead of a “jobs agenda,” however, far too many in Washington seem to have an “anything but jobs agenda,” spending precious time on issues that not only won’t help our unemployment situation, but actually would harm Nevada’s middle-class families.” (Shelley Berkley, GOP wants to hurt seniors while massaging Big Oil, China, Las Vegas Review-Journal,…
