Once Again, Ignores Concerns Of Michigan Small Business Owners Just days after a bipartisan coalition representing over 1.8 million small businesses in Michigan, and across the country, made clear in no uncertain terms that it would further harm their ability to create and grow jobs, Senator Debbie Stabenow ignored the concerns of job creators and voted in favor of President Obama’s latest stimulus proposal today, which included a massive tax hike on Michigan business owners. As President Obama’s own Treasury Department acknowledges, four out of five people who would be hit by the Stabenow-Obama surtax are business owners – the same people we need to create new jobs. Fortunately, the latest Stabenow-Obama stimulus proposal was defeated in a bipartisan vote this evening with two Democrats joining every Senate Republican in opposing it. “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, but…
Another Week, Another Attempt By Tester To Mislead Montanans
Digs Self Deeper In Attempt To Cover Up One Misleading Statement With Another If your name is Jon Tester and you got yourself elected to the U.S. Senate in 2006 on an anti-lobbyist platform, the last thing you want is to be held accountable for the fact that the Center for Responsive Politics shows beyond a doubt that you are now the number-one recipient of lobbyist campaign cash in the 2012 election cycle. Click Here To See The List Of Top Recipients Of Lobbyist Campaign Cash This Cycle After all, voters can’t stand it when elected officials like Tester say one thing to them in Montana, and then hypocritically do the opposite when they get back to their friends in Washington, DC.

Day 5: Tester Truth Watch
Tester Betting That No One Will Hold Him Accountable Despite lecturing others on the importance of honesty, saying “[l]et’s stick with the facts. Let’s move forward. Let’s be honest. We do that, the country will be a better place,” liberal U.S. Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) refuses to hold himself to the same standard – falsely denying in an interview with KRSQ radio in Billings that – after getting himself elected in 2006 on an anti-lobbyist platform – he is now the #1 recipient of lobbyist campaign cash in the 2012 election cycle. Click Here To Hear Audio Of Jon Tester Misleading Montana Voters The truth is, the Center for Responsive Politics – an independent watchdog, accepted by both parties and the news media as the gold standard in campaign finance reporting – shows beyond a doubt that Tester is the #1 recipient of lobbyist campaign cash in the 2012 election…
Does Shelley Berkley Agree With Harry Reid’s New Tax To Pay For Obama’s Second Stimulus?
Majority Leader Reid Wants To Raise Taxes On Nevada’s Job Creators By 5 Percent As Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid prepares to introduce another job-killing tax hike in order to pay for President Obama’s latest “stimulus” proposal, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) called on embattled Congresswoman Shelley Berkley to step forward and tell voters where she stands. As the Associated Press reports: Senate Democrats are scrambling to rewrite portions of President Barack Obama’s jobs bill, even as Obama tries to blame Republicans for Congress’ failure to act. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell moved to call the president’s bluff Tuesday by pushing for a quick Senate vote on the bill, but Democratic leader Harry Reid derailed the effort… In the Senate, Democrats made plans to jettison provisions that Obama recommended to pay for the $447 billion jobs bill, substituting them with a tax increase on millionaires, officials said. “The question…
In “Shocking” Power Grab, Sherrod Brown & Democrat Party Bosses Use “Nuclear Option” To Quash Minority Rights
In what Capitol Hill newspaper The Hill called a “shocking development” last night, liberal U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown and his Senate Democrat bosses rashly used what is known as the “nuclear option” to suddenly kill a key Senate rule that protects the democratic rights of the minority party. Politico reports that the power grab “threatens to further inflame partisan tensions and stymie legislative action,” while the Atlantic notes that it “may fundamentally diminish the powers of the minority party in the Senate,” and that “both liberals and conservatives are troubled by what may come of it.” “Last night’s vote is further proof that Sherrod Brown is willing to recklessly put his Washington Democrat bosses’ narrow partisan agenda ahead of the best interests of Ohio and the nation,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “It’s bad enough that Brown is the most liberal Senator in the country who…

Politico reports that the power grab “threatens to further inflame partisan tensions and stymie legislative action,” while the Atlantic notes that it “may fundamentally diminish the powers of the minority party in the Senate,” and that “both liberals and conservatives are troubled by what may come of it.” Notably, in 2005, Stabenow criticized Republicans for “changing the rules of the game” with the nuclear option. “‘It’s a trend,’ Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, secretary of the Democratic conference, said Wednesday. ‘Republicans want to change the rules of the game. They want new ethics rules for House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. They want…

In what Capitol Hill newspaper The Hill called a “shocking development” last night, liberal U.S. Senator Bill Nelson and his Senate Democrat bosses rashly used what is known as the “nuclear option” to suddenly kill a key Senate rule that protects the democratic rights of the minority party. Politico reports that the power grab “threatens to further inflame partisan tensions and stymie legislative action,” while the Atlantic notes that it “may fundamentally diminish the powers of the minority party in the Senate,” and that “both liberals and conservatives are troubled by what may come of it.” Notably, in 2005, Bill Nelson said on MSNBC that the nuclear option eliminates the checks and balances within our government and is not the fair way to play. “Well, I think it needs to get out on the table, because most people don`t have any idea what the nuclear option is. And the more…
In “Shocking” Power Grab, Menendez & Democrat Party Bosses Use “Nuclear Option” To Quash Minority Rights
In what Capitol Hill newspaper The Hill called a “shocking development” last night, liberal U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) – who is the only sitting U.S. Senator currently under federal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice – and his Senate Democrat bosses rashly used what is known as the “nuclear option” to suddenly kill a key Senate rule that protects the democratic rights of the minority party. Politico reports that the power grab “threatens to further inflame partisan tensions and stymie legislative action,” while the Atlantic notes that it “may fundamentally diminish the powers of the minority party in the Senate,” and that “both liberals and conservatives are troubled by what may come of it.” “Last night’s vote is further proof that Bob Menendez is willing to recklessly put his narrow partisan agenda in Washington ahead of the best interests of New Jersey and the nation,” said National Republican…
In “Shocking” Power Grab, Casey & Democrat Party Bosses Use “Nuclear Option” To Quash Minority Rights
In what Capitol Hill newspaper The Hill called a “shocking development” last night, liberal U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) and his Senate Democrat bosses rashly used what is known as the “nuclear option” to suddenly kill a key Senate rule that protects the democratic rights of the minority party. Politico reports that the power grab “threatens to further inflame partisan tensions and stymie legislative action,” while the Atlantic notes that it “may fundamentally diminish the powers of the minority party in the Senate,” and that “both liberals and conservatives are troubled by what may come of it.” Notably – in just the latest example of Casey’s campaign rhetoric not matching his Washington record – in 2005, the Casey campaign attacked then-Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) for wanting to change Senate rules. As the Allentown Morning Call reported at the time: “Jay Reiff, campaign manager for state Treasurer Bob Casey Jr., who…
