Menendez To Obama: Don’t Cap My Spending!

Joins Who’s Who Of Washington Liberals To Demand Business As Usual In a letter to President Barack Obama this week, U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) once again joined with the liberal wing of the Democrat party in Washington to express his strong opposition to capping the federal government’s runaway spending, which has now driven our national debt to a record-high $14.3 trillion. Menendez’s letter to President Obama, also signed by liberal Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY), among others, clearly states that Menendez and his fellow Senate liberals “strongly oppose emerging proposals to arbitrarily cap total federal spending.” Since repeatedly presenting himself as a fiscal hawk during his 2006 Senate campaign, Menendez’s big-spending record has consistently contradicted his election-cycle lip service to fiscal responsibility – with the latest example being that it has now been 772 days since Menendez and the Senate Democrats performed their most basic duty…

Silent Bob Casey Clings To Campaign Cash As Another Donor Admits Guilt

Benefactor Pleads Guilty As Casey Clings To Weiner’s Campaign Cash As more and more of U.S. Senator Bob Casey’s (D-PA) Democratic colleagues – including fellow Pennsylvanians Ed Rendell, Rep. Allyson Schwartz and Patrick Murphy – call on disgraced Congressman and Casey campaign benefactor Anthony Weiner (D-NY) to resign, Casey continues to keep mum and cling to the $1,000 in campaign cash he took from Weiner. But, as The Hill reports, Casey’s campaign finance troubles go beyond his refusal to acknowledge, much less return, his tainted Weiner contributions: Delaware liquor executive Christopher Tigani faces two counts of willfully making campaign contributions in the names of others – a violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act – and two counts of making false statements on his tax returns, according to court documents unsealed in U.S. District Court in Delaware on Thursday… Tigani in 2006 also donated… $2,100 to Sen. Bob Casey (Pa.)….

More Democrats Call For Weiner To Go, But Murphy Wants Costly Taxpayer-Funded Investigation

Thinks We Need Detectives To Find Out If Weiner Disgraced Office As even more of his fellow Washington Democrats join Republican calls for disgraced U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner’s (D-NY) resignation, liberal U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy (D-CT) disagrees, instead demanding that taxpayers fund a lengthy, costly investigation of Weiner’s lewd online behavior.

Tester Still Silent As More Democrats Call On Weiner To Quit
