Maybe They Are Waiting For Reid’s Approval To Call For His Resignation? As even more Washington Democrats join Republican calls for disgraced U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner’s (D-NY) resignation, liberal U.S. Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-NV) and Byron Georgiou have remained silent regarding Weiner’s lewd online behavior. So far, according to Politico, a growing list of top Democrats – including former DNC Chairmen Tim Kaine and Ed Rendell, U.S. Senators Pat Leahy (D-VT) and Mark Pryor (D-AR), and U.S. Reps. Allyson Schwartz (D-PA), Mike Ross (D-AR), Larry Kissell (D-NC), Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Niki Tsongas (D-MA), Michael Michaud (D-ME) and Joe Donnelly (D-IN) – are all calling for Weiner to resign. “Do Congresswoman Shelley Berkley and Byron Georgiou agree with their fellow Democrats that it’s time for Anthony Weiner to go, or do they continue to stand by embattled Congressman Weiner despite this lewd behavior?” asked National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan…

As Fellow Democrats & Republicans Call For Weiner’s Resignation, Berkley Remains Silent
Continues To Stand By Lewd New York Rep? As she continues to posture herself on a wide variety of issues during this divisive Democrat U.S. Senate primary, liberal U.S. Representative Shelley Berkley (D-NV) has remained conspicuously silent on the explosive controversy regarding her friend and colleague U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner’s (D-NY) lewd online behavior. In the face of Republican calls for Weiner’s resignation, Berkley’s fellow House Democrats Betty Sutton (D-OH) and Tim Walz (D-MN) dumped thousands of dollars in campaign cash they took from Weiner, and former DNC Chairman Tim Kaine is now calling for Weiner’s resignation. But neither Berkley nor her primary opponent Byron Georgiou (D-NV) have told Nevadans where they stand. “As her fellow Washington Democrats call for Anthony Weiner’s resignation in the wake of these disturbing admissions, why does Shelley Berkley still refuse to tell Nevadans where she stands?” asked National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan…
Unemployment Rises To 9.1% In Wake Of Berkley & Obama’s Failed $787 Billion Stimulus
In yet another reminder that President Obama and liberal U.S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley’s (D-NV) $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 Berkley’s tax-and-spend economic policies in Washington. While Berkley and the Obama Administration promised their $787 billion stimulus would create “millions of new jobs” and keep national unemployment below 8 percent, the United States has actually lost more than 1.8 million jobs since Berkley helped her 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, Nevadans are reminded once again that the Obama-Reid-Georgiou-Berkley agenda of reckless spending has failed to…
Berkley Is Only Candidate For Senate In Nevada Who Voted For Law That Rations Health Care, Cuts Medicare
As liberal U.S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley (D-NV) and her fellow Washington Democrats continue to demagogue the important issue of Medicare reform, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) today reminded Nevadans that Berkley is the only candidate for U.S. Senate in Nevada 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 Democratic political posturing, voters know Shelley Berkley voted for Obamacare, which rations health care for seniors and cuts Medicare by $500 billion,” said NRSC spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “If she manages to survive her primary race against Byron Georgiou, Congresswoman Berkley’s decision to ignore her constituents and vote for ObamaCare’s tax hikes and Medicare cuts will be a key issue in next year’s Senate race.”
