Denies Demonstrable Facts In Effort To Distract Montanans From His Record As he continued his revisionist history tour of Montana last week, liberal U.S. Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) lectured, “[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.” We could not agree more – which is why it is so troubling that Senator Tester is not telling Montanans the truth about his record. In fact, he is going out of his way to deny demonstrable facts about his hypocrisy and broken promises. In a radio interview Thursday on KRSQ in Billings, Tester falsely denied that – after campaigning in 2006 as the scourge of Washington lobbyists – he is now the #1 recipient of lobbyist campaign cash in Washington for the 2012 election cycle, saying “that’s not true.” The Center for Responsive Politics – an independent watchdog accepted…
NRSC Launches New Web Ad, “Jon Tester: #1 in Lobbyist Money”
Highlights Hypocrisy, Broken Promises, Rubber-Stamp Support For Obama The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) today released a new web ad, “Jon Tester: #1 in Lobbyist Money,” to highlight the incumbent’s hypocritical rhetoric, broken promises, and rubber-stamp support for President Barack Obama’s unpopular agenda in Washington. As a candidate for U.S. Senate in 2006, Tester presented himself as a different sort of politician, telling Montanans they deserved representation “not encumbered by high-dollared lobbyists,” and promised he wouldn’t “sell Montana down the road by cutting deals with K Street lobbyists.” But as non-partisan watchdog OpenSecrets.org shows, five years later Tester has taken more lobbyist campaign cash than any other Member of Congress during the 2012 election cycle. Earlier this month, Tester asserted in an interview with KGVO’s Janette McDonald that he is not heavily involved with lobbyists. But despite promising voters he would return to Montana “every weekend,” Tester was recently caught…
FLASHBACK: Sherrod Brown Promised The First Stimulus Would Repair The Brent Spence Bridge
Instead Money Was Given To Tax Cheats And A Failed Green Energy Company Yesterday, President Barack Obama went to the Brent Spence Bridge to campaign for his second stimulus. As the President noted in his speech, he picked this particular bridge to send a partisan message to Speaker Boehner and Leader McConnell. What the President failed to remember was that liberal United States Senator Sherrod Brown – who votes with him over 96 percent of the time – promised that the original $825 billion stimulus would be spent to repair the Brent Spence Bridge. MUST WATCH FLASHBACK Click On The Screenshot To Hear Sherrod Brown Claim That The First Stimulus Would Help Repair The Brent Spence Bridge “The first $825 billion stimulus – which Sherrod Brown rubberstamped into law – was a failure, because instead of working to repair the Brent Spence Bridge, billions of dollars were given out to…

After Failing To Pay Her Own Taxes, McCaskill Lectures Fellow Millionaires To Pay “Fair Share”
Lectures Others, But Failed To Pay $300K In Taxes On Private Plane With President Obama continuing his swing-state tour to try and sell Americans on his proposal for hundreds of billions of dollars in new “stimulus” spending and massive $1.5 trillion tax hikes – which would adversely affect small businesses owners and kill jobs in Missouri – a large and growing list of U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill’s fellow Washington Democrats are reluctant to get on board. For instance… Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA), called the Obama approach “terrible,” while Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) called Obama’s proposed tax-and-spend “not helpful at the moment,” and Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) said “[t]his plan isn’t the one I would have written, nor is it the one that will end up passing Congress,” before confirming through an aide that he opposes the scheme. But, ironically – even after failing to pay more than $300,000 in taxes…
