Liberal Senator Took Campaign Cash From Disgraced Congressman As liberal U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) finally admits to his lewd and offensive online behavior after more than a week of denials – and as House Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) calls for an ethics investigation into the matter – does liberal U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) plan to return the $1,000 he took from his friend Weiner in order to fund his campaign? “We now know that Bob Casey’s friend Anthony Weiner was lying, and did in fact engage in this lewd online behavior. So as his party leader Nancy Pelosi calls for an ethics investigation, will Casey tell Pennsylvanians whether he plans to hold on to the $1,000 in campaign cash he took from Weiner?” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Chris Bond today.

By The Numbers: As Casey Ignores Budget, Debt Surges And Economy Suffers
768 Days & Counting Since Senate Democrats Passed A Budget It’s been 768 days since U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) and the Democrats who run the Senate have performed the most basic job function of Congress by passing a federal budget. In this Congress alone, Democrats like Bob Casey haven’t even offered any budget proposal, because their partisan leaders – Senators Harry Reid (D-NV) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) – have said that to do so would be “foolish,” and that Democrats do not have the time to propose a budget. “It’s been 768 days since Senator Casey and his liberal friends in Washington have passed a budget,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Chris Bond. “With a national debt of over $14.3 trillion, Pennsylvanians deserve to know what’s keeping Casey from performing his most basic task of passing a budget that will rein in his reckless spending habits that…
Unemployment Rises To 9.1% In Wake Of Casey & Obama’s Failed $787 Billion Stimulus
In yet another reminder that President Obama and liberal U.S. Senator Bob Casey’s (D-PA) $787 billion stimulus failed to create jobs while driving our national debt past $14.3 trillion, the U.S. Department of Labor reports today that national unemployment has risen again to 9.1 percent. Today’s rise in unemployment is just the latest development to highlight the failure of Obama and Casey’s tax-and-spend economic policies in Washington. While Casey and the Obama Administration promised their $787 billion stimulus would create millions of jobs and keep national unemployment below 8 percent, the United States has actually lost more than 1.8 million jobs since Casey helped his Washington party bosses ram it into law – and national unemployment has remained above 8 percent now for 28 consecutive months. “As the unemployment rate rises to 9.1 percent, Pennsylvanians are reminded once again that the Obama-Casey agenda of reckless spending has failed to create…
Casey Demands Tax Hikes As Price For Debt Ceiling Vote
Believes Raising Taxes Preferable To Commonsense Reductions In Gov’t Spending As he continues to prioritize higher taxes for Pennsylvania families over commonsense reductions in government spending, U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) is now demanding that any vote to raise the debt ceiling be tied to tax hikes on America’s domestic energy producers. Earlier today, Casey joined with the far-left wing of the Democrat party, including U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), in sending a letter to Vice President Biden demanding new energy taxes. Notably, Casey’s renewed support for higher energy taxes comes the same day that the Consumer Confidence Index fell to a six-month low amid growing concerns over the labor market and rising food and gasoline prices. “It’s astonishing that at a time when gas prices are hovering at $4 per gallon and the national debt has skyrocketed past $14 trillion, Bob Casey wants to raise taxes in return for…
Casey Heads Home Without Even Proposing, Let Alone Passing A Budget
758 Days & Counting Since Senate Democrats Passed A Budget It’s been 758 days since U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) and the Democrats who run the Senate have performed the most basic job function of Congress by passing a federal budget. In the current 112th Congress, Democrats like Casey haven’t even offered any budget proposal, because their partisan leaders – Senators Harry Reid (D-NV) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) – have said that to do so would be “foolish,” and that Democrats do not have the time to propose a budget. Yet somehow, Casey and the Democrats found the time to take a week-long recess from Washington. Meanwhile in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, not only did they find the time to propose and pass a budget, but they were able to accomplish this simple task by April 15, 2011. “It’s ironic that Democrats like Bob Casey say they are too…
Casey Is Only Candidate For Senate In Pennsylvania Who Voted For Law That Rations Health Care, Cuts Medicare
As liberal U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) and his fellow Washington Democrats continue to demagogue the important issue of Medicare reform, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) today reminded Pennsylvanians that at the ballot box next year, Casey will be the only candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania who voted into law a bill that will ration health care, cut Medicare by $500 billion, and keep Medicare on its current track toward bankruptcy. “Despite the Democrats’ political posturing, voters know Bob Casey voted for ObamaCare, which rations health care for seniors and cuts Medicare by $500 billion,” said NRSC spokesman Chris Bond. “Senator Casey’s decision to ignore Pennsylvania voters and vote for ObamaCare’s tax hikes and Medicare cuts will be a key issue as he prepares to face voters at the polls next year.”
Government Report: Tester & Obama’s Failed Stimulus Sent Billions Of Dollars To Tax Cheats
Taxpayer Cash Sent To Thousands Of Tax Cheats Thanks To Tester, Obama A new non-partisan government report revealed today that – in addition to its failure to create jobs while helping drive our national debt past $14.3 trillion – President Obama and U.S. Senator Bob Casey’s (D-PA) failed $787 billion stimulus handed billions of taxpayer dollars to tax cheats. As the non-partisan Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported today: At least 3,700 Recovery Act contract and grant recipients—including prime recipients, subrecipients, and vendors—are estimated to owe more than $750 million in known unpaid federal taxes as of September 30, 2009, and received over $24 billion in Recovery Act funds. Meanwhile, the Associated Press reports that the problem could actually be even worse, noting: “[t]he report said the tax delinquents accounted for nearly 6 percent of the 63,000 contractors and grantees examined and cautioned that the real number might be higher because…
Does Casey Believe That Senate Democrats Should Offer A Budget Proposal?
755 Days & Counting Since Senate Democrats Passed A Budget It’s been 755 days since U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) and the Democrats who run the Senate have performed the most basic job function of Congress by passing a federal budget. Additionally, in the 112th Congress, Democrats like Casey haven’t even offered a budget proposal, because their leaders – Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) and Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) – have stated that not only do Democrats not have the time to propose a budget, but it would be “foolish” of them to do so. “Pennsylvanians deserve to know if Senator Casey agrees with his liberal party leaders that it would be ‘foolish’ for Democrats to finally offer a budget proposal, or if he believes it’s time for Senate Democrats to do their job and pass a budget,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Chris Bond. “With a national debt…
Casey, Senate Democrats Say It Would Be “Foolish” To Do Their Jobs
754 Days & Counting Since Senate Democrats Passed A Budget It’s been more than 750 days since U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) and the Democrats who run the Senate have performed the most basic job function of Congress by passing a federal budget – during which time the federal debt has risen by an additional $3.1 trillion. But despite our nation’s growing fiscal crisis, Senate Democrats have yet to even propose a budget in the current 112th Congress, let alone debate and pass one, and Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) now claims that it would be “foolish” for Democrats to attempt to do their jobs by proposing a budget. As the Los Angeles Times reports: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said it would be “foolish” for Democrats to propose their own federal budget for 2012, despite continued attacks from Republicans that the party is ducking its responsibility to put…
750 Days And $3.1 Trillion More in Debt Later, Casey & Senate Democrats Still Haven’t Passed A Budget
In the 112th Congress, Senate Democrats Haven’t Even Proposed A Budget As a candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2006, Bob Casey (D-PA) repeatedly expressed his support for a balanced budget and routinely pilloried Republicans for their fiscal record in Washington. Yet today marks a full 750 days since Casey and the Democrat-controlled Senate have passed ANY budget, let alone a balanced budget, something which Casey has also never once helped to pass since coming to Washington. In fact, in the current 112th Congress, Senate Democrats have yet to even propose a budget, let alone debate and pass one. And in just the 750 days since Casey and his fellow Democrats who run the Senate have failed to pass a budget, the federal debt has risen by an additional $3.1 trillion. “Every month, every Pennsylvania family has to put together a budget and live within their means, yet Bob Casey…
