What You May Have Missed Last Night…. Despite warnings from virtually every major business organization in the country that it would adversely impact job growth, U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) once again voted in lockstep with President Obama last night in support of a permanent new tax on Pennsylvania job creators. “At a time when our country is still working to get our economy back on track, it speaks volumes about Bob Casey’s misplaced priorities that he would vote for a permanent new tax hike on Pennsylvania’s job creators,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Brian Walsh said today. “Just as with the $825 billion stimulus and the trillion dollar health care bill, Bob Casey would rather stand with President Obama, than stand up for Pennsylvania.” The Senate last night voted on two separate proposals, both with the common goal of extending the payroll tax cut by one more year…

Obama Set To Bring His Campaign To Casey’s Hometown, While Casey Ducks – Again
But Back In Washington Casey Has Been A Rubber Stamp For Obama’s Failed Agenda As President Barack Obama returns to Pennsylvania, one person missing from his entourage is Scranton’s own Bob Casey who is one of Obama’s fiercest supporters. As we all remember when the President was campaigning for his first term Casey was one of the first people to endorse him – which the President thanked him for – and he also brought Obama to Glider Diner in Scranton to meet with Pennsylvanians. Then once Obama got elected Casey proceeded to vote with him 98 percent of the time, which includes rubberstamping his failed $825 billion stimulus – which never ‘created or saved’ 100,000 Pennsylvania jobs – and his job-killing $2.5 trillion government-run healthcare bill into law. “As President Obama travels to Senator Casey’s hometown, Pennsylvanians will always remember that whether it was his early endorsement in ’08, his…
With Obama Set To Visit Casey’s Hometown On Wednesday Will The Senator Join Him?
Casey Found A Scheduling Conflict During Obama’s Last Visit To Pennsylvania On Wednesday, President Barack Obama is scheduled to visit Scranton, Pennsylvania, home of his close friend and liberal ally Senator Bob Casey. As Pennsylvanians get ready for this campaign visit it’s worth noting that Casey has yet to announce whether he will be standing with the President this week just as he campaigned side by side with him regularly in 2008. Notably, Casey skipped President Obama’s last visit to the Keystone State and if he does so again, hopefully the President will once again thank his great friend from Scranton for supporting his failed $825 billion stimulus – which never ‘created or saved’ 100,000 jobs – and his $2.5 trillion job-killing healthcare bill.

Deficit Super Committee Dies Amid Casey’s Addiction To Higher Taxes & More Spending
Senate Democrats Sought $1.3 Trillion In New Tax Hikes & $300 Billion In New Stimulus Spending, Instead of Serious Spending Cut Proposals In response to this evening’s announcement by the deficit reduction Super Committee that they were unable to reach any bipartisan agreement , the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) said the failure of leadership by Senate Democrats, and their addiction to higher taxes and more wasteful Washington spending, will be a defining issue in next year’s U.S. Senate campaign in Pennsylvania. “After years of reckless government spending, unemployment mired at 9 percent and a $15 trillion debt that grows daily, the negotiations of the last few weeks have been a remarkable commentary on the misplaced priorities of Bob Casey and his fellow liberal Democrats. “Voters should rightfully wonder why Senator Casey and his fellow Democrats didn’t show the same zeal for actually solving our nation’s problems as they did…
NRSC Statement On Bob Casey’s Latest Fiscal Legacy – A $15 Trillion Debt
Republicans Release New Video Highlighting Casey’s Reckless Spending Agenda WASHINGTON — When Senator Bob Casey first came to Washington in January 2007, the federal debt stood at $8.6 trillion – a figure which took over 200 years for our country to reach. Yet, just five years later, and particularly over the last three years as Casey has rubber-stamped every major spending initiative proposed by President Obama, the federal debt has now hit the once-unfathomable mark of $15 trillion – a 74 percent increase and more than $48,000 for every American man, woman and child. To mark the United States Treasury reaching the $15 trillion debt mark today, and to highlight the massive spending by Senator Casey and President Obama that has led to this point, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) released a new web video – “$15,000,000,000,000…Siriously” “As a candidate for the Senate in 2006, Senator Casey talked about…
As U.S. Supreme Court Prepares To Weigh In, Pennsylvanians Reminded Of Casey’s Vote For ObamaCare
Top Court To Examine Obama-Casey ‘Individual Mandate’ As the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments on President Barack Obama and the Democrats’ massive health care overhaul, Pennsylvania voters are reminded that U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) helped Obama ram the measure, known as ObamaCare, into law. The Associated Press reports: The Supreme Court said Monday it will hear arguments next March over President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul – a case that could shake the political landscape just as voters are about to decide if Obama deserves another term. The decision to hear arguments in the spring allows plenty of time for a decision in late June, just over four months before Election Day. This sets up an election-year showdown over the White House’s main domestic policy achievement. The justices announced they will hear more than five hours of arguments, an extraordinarily long session, from lawyers on the constitutionality…
As Obama Again Pushes For More Gov’t Spending & Job-Killing Tax Hikes In Pennsylvania, Voters Reminded Of Casey’s Support For Failed Agenda
Casey Has Been A Loyal Rubber Stamp For Obama’s Unpopular, Failed Policies As President Barack Obama travels to the Keystone State today in an attempt to sell voters on his latest proposal for billions of dollars in new government spending and job-killing tax hikes, Pennsylvanians are once again reminded that U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) has served as a loyal rubber stamp for Obama’s failed economic policies in Washington. As the Pottsville Republican & Herald reported recently, “Casey has voted with his party in the Senate an average of 98 percent of the time since Obama took office, according to a Washington Post database on congressional votes…” And as he helped Obama ram the Democrats’ original $825 billion “stimulus” debacle into law, Casey promised Pennsylvanians it would “get our economy out of the ditch by creating jobs and aiding those hardest hit by the worst economic downturn since the great…
Once Again, Casey Stands Behind Obama Spending Agenda, Instead of Standing With Pennsylvania Job Creators
Votes For Yet Another Massive Stimulus Bill, Despite Opposition From Major Small-Business Groups Even as virtually every major small-business group expressed their concern that a new, permanent tax on America’s job creators would “significantly impair” job creation, Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) once again voted in lockstep with President Obama today in support of yet another round of massive government stimulus spending. “Bob Casey has never met one of President Obama’s big government spending bills that he didn’t like, and today’s vote is just another example of his reckless spending record in Washington,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Chris Bond said today. “It also represents a defining difference in next year’s election – Bob Casey believes it’s the federal government that creates jobs, through higher taxes and more debt, while Republicans believe government should get its foot off the backs of America’s small businesses so that they can create jobs…
After Claiming Their First $825 Billion Stimulus Would Be Spent On Infrastructure, Casey & Obama Want A Mulligan
In 2009, liberal U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) told Pennsylvanians that he would be supporting Barack Obama’s $825 billion stimulus, because it was a “jobs” bill that would help repair America’s aging roads and bridges – even going so far as to say “[stimulus] funds will help rehabilitate existing infrastructure, replace equipment and create jobs.” But after the bill passed the House of Representatives, it was revealed that, in fact, only 5 percent of the so-called “stimulus” was spent on infrastructure. A few months later, it was revealed that billions of dollars were given to tax cheats and millions of dollars were spent in fictitious congressional districts like a $1.96 million project in Pennsylvania’s non-existent “96th Congressional District.” Now that it’s been widely accepted that the first stimulus was a boondoggle that never lived up to Obama and Casey’s promises, the political fundraising duo want a do-over as Democrats in…
All-Time Low: Obama-Casey Health Care Overhaul More Unpopular Than Ever…
More Bad News For Casey As ObamaCare Approval Hits An All-Time Low As liberal Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) struggles to defend his support of ObamaCare, this month’s Kaiser Family Foundation health tracking poll shows that both Casey and President Obama have even greater reason to fear Pennsylvania voters at the polls next year: their 2,700 page, $2.5 trillion health care law is less popular than ever. The poll’s summary and toplines show a bleak picture for Casey, Obama, and their fellow Washington Democrats: Overall favorability of the law stands at 34%, an all-time low; The percentage of very favorable support stands at 12%, an all-time low; The percentage of respondents who think they personally will be better off due to the law stands at a mere 18%, an all-time low; The percentage of respondents who think the country as a whole will be better off due to the law stands…
