Now Admits Failure To List Flights On Campaign Finance Reports Less than four months ago – after it was revealed that liberal U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) had improperly billed taxpayers for political travel on her private plane while also failing to pay more than $300,000 in taxes on that aircraft – the embattled incumbent gave voters the impression that there were no other sordid details yet to emerge and even patted herself on the back for, as she put it, having “got the problem fixed very quickly.” But as the St. Louis Beacon reported last Friday evening, McCaskill is now changing her story once again, scrambling to amend her campaign finance reports – some going back years – to account for flights she took on her personal aircraft which previously “had not been listed at all”: …even her campaign staff acknowledges that more attention may be paid to dozens…
NRSC Launches Web Ad Against Shelley Berkley: “Actions Speak Louder Than Words”
Berkley Claims Every Weekend She Goes Home, But Last Weekend She Was In NYC The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) released its first web ad against Las Vegas Congresswoman Shelley Berkley, who claims she goes home “every weekend” to connect with struggling Nevadans. As it turns out, the 12-year Congresswoman from Las Vegas doesn’t go home every weekend, because last weekend Berkley – who was born in Brooklyn – went to New York City to raise money from trial lawyers. Between hobnobbing with her liberal pals, who are busy suing resorts in Las Vegas, Berkley also found some time to do a little shopping at Saks 5th Avenue. Meanwhile, back in Nevada where the unemployment rate is 12.1 percent, more Nevadans are signing up for food stamps and the state is still the foreclosure capital of the country.

FACT CHECK: Kaine Tells A Whopper On “Pay-Go”
Under Kaine’s DNC Watch, Federal Debt Actually Rose By $2 Trillion AFTER Democrats Passed “Pay-Go” In another reminder of why it will be important for the Virginia and national media to closely fact-check Tim Kaine’s revisionist history on the campaign trail over the next 16 months, the former Chairman of the Democrat National Committee told another whopper yesterday. In an interview with NBC-Richmond, Chairman Kaine claimed it is hypocritical for Republicans to oppose raising the debt ceiling by another $2 trillion and claimed that if so-called “pay as you go” – known as “Pay-Go” – spending restrictions had been in place, our debt crisis might have been averted. Chairman Kaine: “If the pay-go restriction had been put in place, much of the issues that we are dealing with, with the deficit today, might not have even been issues that we had to deal with… The only thing that’s changed is…
On Balanced Budget Amendment, Kaine Offers More Washington Double-Speak
Liberal Former DNC Chairman Can’t Have It Both Ways On Balanced Budget As liberal former DNC Chairman Tim Kaine continues his efforts to rebrand himself ahead of next year’s election, the Washington Post reports that “[a]sked his position on the balanced budget amendment, Kaine said: ‘I’m for balanced budgets and I could even entertain a balanced-budget amendment, but the one that’s on the table right now, once you get past the title, it’s a bad thing.’ He noted that the amendment being pushed by Republicans includes triggers for spending cuts and supermajority vote requirements to raise taxes.” So Tim Kaine is surprised that a balanced budget amendment includes triggers to – of all things – balance the budget? Notably, Kaine also echoed his former boss President Barack Obama’s demands for “more revenues,” meaning job-killing tax hikes, to pay for his party’s multi-trillion-dollar spending binge – including the failed $787 billion…
Menendez & Dems Threaten To Stiff Seniors & Military Unless They Get Their Job-Killing Tax Hikes
Shameful Threats Underscore Broken Promises, Reckless Deficit Spending As a candidate for U.S. Senate in 2006, Democrat Bob Menendez presented himself to New Jersey voters as a fiscal hawk, calling Washington’s deficit spending “immoral.” But now it’s been 806 days since Menendez and his fellow Senate Democrats have so much as passed a federal budget – during which time our national debt has ballooned to a record-high $14.3 trillion. Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury now reports that our federal government’s deficit is on track to top $1 trillion this fiscal year. But rather than take responsibility for his broken promises and failure to perform this basic job function, Menendez and his Washington party bosses are now threatening to withhold payments from Social Security recipients and members of our armed forces, unless Republicans agree to their demands for job-killing tax hikes. As the Associated Press reports: Echoing President Barack Obama’s warning, Senate…
