RUDY GIULIANI ENDORSES RANDY ALTSCHULER FOR CONGRESS

Giuliani: "Altschuler is Uniquely Qualified to Represent Suffolk County"

Randy Altschuler, the independent, self-made businessman and Republican/Conservative candidate for Congress (NY-1), was endorsed today by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani, who became known as "America's Mayor" after leading the city through the terrorist attacks of 9/11, called Altschuler "a fiscal conservative who knows what it will take to jump start the economy and create jobs for the people of Suffolk County and the nation."

Rudy Giuliani said, "Randy Altschuler is the perfect example of the type of individual we need serving in Congress. He's a successful self-made businessman, not a career politician. He has built two companies from the ground up and created over 700 jobs for hardworking Americans, 250 of them right here in New York. Randy Altschuler is a fiscal conservative who knows what it will take to jump start the economy and create jobs for Suffolk County and the nation. In Congress, he will vote to cut taxes, rein in runaway spending, and shrink an ever growing deficit that is mortgaging the future of generations to come.

"Randy Altschuler also understands that terrorism remains a constant threat and I know that in Congress, he will work closely with Congressman Peter King of Nassau County to ensure that Long Island and New York have the resources they need for Homeland Security, local law enforcement and the first responders who work to protect us on a daily basis.

"Randy Altschuler is uniquely qualified to represent Suffolk County in Congress and I urge Republicans, Independents and like minded Democrats to vote for him on Election Day."

Randy Altschuler said, "As Mayor, Rudy Giuliani restored fiscal sanity to New York City; cutting wasteful spending and making sure that city government operated like a business. That's the exact same job I plan to do in Congress. I will work to create common sense solutions for complex problems and in the process cut taxes, spending and work to shrink an ever ballooning deficit. I would like to thank Mayor Giuliani for his endorsement and his kind words and let him know, that like him, I will always be a fighter for my constituents in Suffolk County and the people of New York State." # # #

Whole Lotta Obama Kool-Aid VIDEO

Whole Lotta Obama Kool-Aid by Doug Giles, thanks Doug great stuff, we're big zep fans too.

In 2008 Obama promised us the moon if elected President. Instead ... gullible Americans got mooned. Disillusioned voters are now turning away in droves from BHO and his ilk. The only way Barack and his boys can now win voters back is through more lies, hype, and spin. Which means ... more Obama Kool-Aid.

Pat Toomey Joe Sestak Pennsylvania Senate 2d Debate 10/22/10 VIDEO

Pat Toomey Joe Sestak Pennsylvania Senate 2d Debate 10/22/10 FULL STREAMING VIDEO Allentown, PA – U.S. Senate candidate and former small business owner, Pat Toomey, emerged as the clear choice for Pennsylvania voters after the second and final debate tonight with Congressman Joe Sestak. The debate was held in the studios of WPXI-TV in Pittsburgh, PA..

Pat was the only candidate who demonstrated an understanding of how to create jobs for Pennsylvanians and the only candidate who can point to examples in his own record of taking on the establishment in Washington to reduce the deficit, cut taxes, and fight for fiscal responsibility.

In contrast, Congressman Joe Sestak continued to spout the same tired falsehoods and distortions about Pat Toomey in an attempt to run away from his record of massive deficit spending. Ultimately, Congressman Sestak thinks that the way to create jobs is to raise taxes and vote 100% in lock-step with Nancy Pelosi and the far-left extreme of the Democratic Party. It's that same failed ideology that has led to record deficits, record debt, and taxpayer-funded bailouts.

“Pat Toomey wins tonight’s debate hands down,” said Toomey Campaign Manager Mark Harris. “Joe Sestak wants Pennsylvania voters to ignore his record, but tonight, voters saw just how extreme Congressman Sestak is. Over the past four years in Washington, Sestak voted for bailout after bailout, a failed 'stimulus', a cap-and-trade energy tax, government-run health care, and record debt – and his only criticism is that these massive bills did not go far enough!”

“Federal Pay Gap” Exposing Vast Gap In Salary And Benefits VIDEO

“Federal Pay Gap” Exposing Vast Gap In Salary And Benefits VIDEO

The organization RightChange, Inc., reveals to the American voter the huge gap of salaries and benefits between the average government and private sector employees with the release of their brand new video “Federal Pay Gap.”

Washington, D.C. – The organization RightChange, Inc., reveals to the American voter the huge gap of salaries and benefits between the average government and private sector employees with the release of their brand new video “Federal Pay Gap.” ”Federal Pay Gap” can be viewed at http://www.rightchange.com/. “

RightChange’s “Federal Pay Gap” is a motion-graphic style video that uses a familiar “Minute to Win It” meets a heart attack game show approach, challenging the viewer to watch nine levels of outrage including how easy it is to stay on the government payroll and how much the Obama Administration and congress have grown the government, all leading up to the kicker: the amount government workers owe in back taxes. “Federal Pay Gap” is a different twist from other videos RightChange has produced in the past like the successful “Attack of the 50ft Pelosi” ad produced for the PA-12 special election and now released for a barrage of congressional and senate races.

The video is timely given the recent news to the American public that the recession was over last year in July, yet unemployment is at over 9.6% for the private sector while government sectors are barely 2.9% as the video points out.

Senator John Thune Weekly Republican Address TEXT VIDEO 10/23/10

Hello, I’m Senator John Thune of South Dakota. As you’ve probably noticed, we have an election coming up in a little over a week.

President Obama has been running around the country trying to reelect Democrat members of Congress.

But if the conversations I’ve had with voters are any indication, the president should spend less time campaigning to save the jobs of Democrats in Congress, and more time trying to create jobs for the American people.

All across South Dakota and the country, I've heard from people who aren’t fooled by President Obama's well-written speeches. They have serious concerns about our economy, and they are all too familiar with the Administration’s failed policies.

One of the Democrats' main responsibilities over the past two years was to improve the economy. Instead, they decided to try an experiment to grow government, raise taxes, and take over health care. After two years, the American people are left asking, ‘Why have the Democrats’ priorities been so different from ours?’

The Obama Experiment has failed.

When the president and his Democrat allies in Congress pushed through their $814 billion stimulus bill, they promised it would create millions of jobs, and keep unemployment under eight percent. But their approach didn’t work, and they failed to deliver on their promises.

Unemployment has climbed to nearly 10 percent. Rather than create jobs, the Democrats expanded government, and now the American people are stuck with another bill for nearly a trillion dollars.

When the president was introducing his big government health care plan, he promised to reduce every family’s health insurance premiums by as much as $2,500. But premiums keep going up. Families in some states are seeing increases in the double digits. Here again, Democrats promised but didn’t deliver, and the American people are stuck with rising health care costs and another tab; this one for two-and-a-half trillion dollars.

The Democrats have controlled the White House and both chambers of Congress for nearly two years, and have proven that more government is not the answer. This year they were not even capable of passing a budget. Instead, they spent their time passing more and more burdensome regulations, like their so-called Financial Reform bill that failed to address the main cause of our economic mess.

Despite a dangerously high national debt that is closing in on $14 trillion, the president wants to spend even more money on these kinds of failed policies. And he appears intent on raising taxes to do it.

Giving Democrats more opportunities to manage the economy and spend taxpayer dollars will not give us the economic growth that we need. It will only lead to more growth of government bureaucracy, and to national bankruptcy.

There is a reason unemployment is stuck near ten percent.

There is a reason jobs are not being created.

There is a reason too many Americans who want a job can’t find one.

There is a reason the dollar is weak and our economy is not growing as it should.

The reason is that President Obama and Congressional Democrats have led this country in the wrong direction.

Government cannot be openly hostile to American businesses, and expect them to grow and create jobs.

Government cannot raise taxes during tough economic times, and expect small businesses to grow and create jobs.

A new direction is needed.

The president likes to say that when you want to drive forward you put your car in D, and when you want to go in reverse you put it in R. It’s a clever line, but when you’re speeding toward a cliff, you don’t want to keep the car in drive.

Republicans want to reverse the dangerous course the Democrats have us on.

Republicans want to reverse Democrats’ plan to raise taxes on the 750,000 small businesses in this country that employ 25 percent of all workers. So employers have more money to create new jobs.

Republicans support policies that will grow the economy, not the government.

Republicans want to repeal the flawed health care law that has been rejected by the American public, and replace it with a new plan that actually reduces costs. We want to reverse the uncertainty in the marketplace so that small businesses have the confidence to grow and invest and create jobs.

And Republicans want to reverse this nonsense of government bailouts and takeovers of private businesses.

Republicans have proposed real, concrete solutions to the challenges we face as a country.

We have learned the lessons not only of what hasn’t worked over the past two years, but what didn’t work the last time Republicans controlled Congress. Republicans are listening to the frustration being expressed by Americans all across this country, and we are determined to take this country in the right direction.

The choice could not be more clear. Democrats are driving more of the same failed policies they have pushed for the past two years. Republicans are proposing to take this country in a different direction.

So I would like to suggest a simple question people should ask themselves to help cut through all the talk: Are you better off today than you were two years ago? I’m Senator John Thune. Thank you for listening. ####

Sharron Angle Welcome to Nevada, Mr. President VIDEO

Statement From Sharron Angle Regarding Nevada's Recent Unemployment Numbers 10/22/2010

"Welcome to Nevada, Mr. President. It's good that you're here to see first-hand what your and Harry's 'recovery' has done to our state. We have 14.4% unemployment and the highest foreclosure rate in the nation. You and Harry together have destroyed the Nevada economy.

"There will be a time when the American people hold you accountable for what you have done to them, but you're not on the ballot this year—Harry Reid is. In eleven days, we’ll start a real recovery when he's fired and your agenda comes to a screeching halt once and for all." # # #

Sharron Angle how Harry Reid became so wealthy on a public servant's income VIDEO

Today, the Sharron Angle campaign released a new television ad entitled, "Public Servant." The new ad details how Harry Reid became so wealthy on a public servant's income. From a shady land deal that netted him one million dollars to living in a Ritz Carlton condo in Washington, DC, Harry Reid is now worth up to six million as Nevadans continue to suffer under the worst unemployment rate in the nation.

"Sharron Angle raised a great question in last week's debate: How did a 'public servant' like Reid make enough to become a millionaire living in the Ritz Carlton? Nevadans will no longer stand for this kind of corruption while people here in the state suffer," said Angle spokesman Jerry Stacy. "Harry Reid has consistently put his own wallet ahead of the interests of this state. It's time for a real leader who will fight for us: that's Sharron Angle."

CAGW ROLLS OUT AD CAMPAIGN ON THE NATIONAL DEBT

(Washington, D.C.) – Today, Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) unveiled a national ad campaign addressing our country’s spending addiction, the dangers of relentless deficits, and the corrosive nature of our national debt.

This new ad, which features a chilling look at one potential future scenario if we continue on our current destructive fiscal trajectory, is a 2010 homage to a 1986 ad that was produced by W.R. Grace & Co. called “The Deficit Trials.” For those who were able to view it it was a sensation. However, it was considered so alarming that the major networks refused to run it and CBS News anchor Dan Rather did a story about the controversy. The national debt was $2 trillion in 1986 when “The Deficit Trials” ad was denied broadcast time; today the debt stands at $13.7 trillion, and is projected to reach 140 percent of GDP in two decades, the time in which the new CAGW ad is set.

The group plans to run the ad on major cable networks throughout the rest of 2010 and into 2011.

J. Peter Grace, CAGW’s co-founder and the chairman of the Grace Commission, was committed to sounding the alarm about what the debt would do to future generations. “We believe the ad does justice to Peter Grace’s legacy and CAGW plans to produce additional ads addressing this critical issue over the next several years,” said CAGW President Tom Schatz.

The new ad is part of an ongoing communications program in CAGW’s decades-long fight against wasteful government spending, increased taxes, out-of-control deficit spending, and a crippling national debt that threatens the future and survival of our country.

In the prescient words of J. Peter Grace, “‘we’re mortgaging our children’s future…we’re robbing piggy banks, we’re taxing our defenseless children without representation. … It’s unforgivable.’”

Citizens Against Government Waste is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in government. -###-

Rick Scott Alex Sink Florida Governor's Debate 10/20/10 VIDEO

By ScottForFlorida All Rights Reserved

Rick Scott Alex Sink Florida Governor's Debate 10/20/10 FULL STREAMING VIDEO. FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – In response to today’s Leadership Florida gubernatorial debate Joe Kildea, spokesperson for Rick Scott for Florida, released the following statement:

“Rick Scott was the clear winner of tonight’s debate. He presented a vision for turning Florida around and a specific plan to create 700,000 private sector jobs. CFO and former banker Alex Sink failed to present a clear path to restore jobs and repeated false and negative attacks. The people of Florida are looking for an outsider with business experience and a plan to create private-sector jobs, not a shrill Obama liberal with job-killing policies who recklessly hands-out waivers to criminals to access private and personal information.

From Party Mantra To National Rallying Cry, “Where Are The Jobs?” VIDEO

GOP Leader’s New Web Video Kicks Off Weeklong Effort To Highlight Dems’ Job-Killing Policies, Press For Immediate Enactment Of Pledge To America

Washington: House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today released a new web video that highlights the evolution of “where are the jobs?” from party mantra to “the single most important question” Americans are concerned about.

It has now been 20 months since President Obama signed the ‘stimulus’ into law amid promises it would create jobs ‘immediately’ and keep unemployment below eight percent. Since then, millions more Americans have lost their jobs and unemployment has topped 9.5 percent for 14 months in a row, the longest such stretch since the Great Depression. This video shows how Republicans have successfully made ‘where are the jobs?’ part of the national lexicon and turned it into a potent weapon against out-of-touch Washington Democrats on the most important issue Americans are concerned about.

Boehner said upon the video’s release: “The American people are asking ‘where are the jobs?,’ and as this video shows, Washington Democrats still have no answers. With the Pledge to America, Republicans are offering a new and better way to address the people’s priorities, starting with a plan to create jobs and end economic uncertainty.”

The video kicks off a weeklong effort by Republicans to ask the question Americans are asking – where are the jobs? – and further highlight Washington Democrats’ job-killing policies. Republicans will also continue to press for immediate enactment of the Pledge to America, a governing agenda that offers a new and better way to address the people’s priorities, starting with a clear plan to create jobs and end economic uncertainty.

SCRIPT: “WHERE ARE THE JOBS?,” FROM PARTY MANTRA TO NATIONAL RALLYING CRY

GRAPHIC: “Americans have a question for President Obama…”

NBC’S CHUCK TODD: “Dr. Romer, let me ask this simple question that a lot of people are asking, ‘where are the jobs?’”

GRAPHIC: “95,000 jobs lost in September”

FOX’S NEIL CAVUTO: “…Where are the jobs?”

GRAPHIC: “Unemployment: 9.6 percent”

CBS’ KATIE COURIC: “…unemployment still so high, where are the jobs?”

GRAPHIC: “14.8 million Americans unemployed”

NBC’S DAVID GREGORY: “But where are the jobs?”

GRAPHIC: “2.5 million jobs lost since the ‘stimulus’ was signed into law.”

NBC’S MATT LAUER: “Do you get any question more often than, ‘where are the jobs?’”

CNBC’S MARIA BARTIROMO: “No. That is the single most important question right now.”

GRAPHIC: “14 straight months of 9.5+ percent unemployment.”

HOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADER JOHN BOEHNER (R-OH): “The American people are still asking the question, ‘where are the jobs?’”

GRAPHIC: “Find better solutions in the GOP’s Pledge to America. Facebook.com/PledgeToAmerica.”

BACKGROUND: REPUBLICANS MAKE “WHERE ARE THE JOBS?” PART OF THE NATIONAL LEXICON

* July 2009: “In rapid-fire speeches on the House floor Tuesday morning, congressional Republicans attacked the stimulus and sought to tie the jobless rate to the question of Obama’s political judgment, repeating the refrain: ‘Where are the jobs?’” (The Denver Post, 7/22/09)

* October 2009: “Whatever the fate of health care legislation, persistently high unemployment has made ‘Where are the jobs?’ the most potent Republican campaign argument as next year’s midterm elections come into view.” (The New York Times, 10/4/09)

* February 2010: “Republicans, meanwhile, taunted Obama with a familiar refrain: Where are the jobs the president promised in exchange for the billions of dollars already spent?” (Associated Press, 2/6/10)

* May 2010: “Yet the varied focus has left Democrats open to criticism from Republicans, who have adopted ‘where are the jobs?’ as a rallying cry.” (The Hill, 5/5/10)

* October 2010: “And Boehner has worked relentlessly to keep angry US voters focused on the sour US economy and unemployment, demanding to know ‘where are the jobs?’ and urging cuts in government spending to rein in galloping US debt.” (AFP, 10/14/10)

Meg Whitman Jerry Brown tied in California RGA Poll Shows Dead Heat: 46-46

The Republican Governors Association released the findings from an internal poll today on the California governor’s race. In no state has the public polling been more incongruent with internal findings than in California over the past two months. According to the RGA’s latest poll, the race is tied 46-46.

“This race will go down to the wire, and it’s important that California voters know the truth about how close this race is,” said RGA spokesman Chris Schrimpf. “Despite the Democratic leanings of the state the race is neck and neck. We are confident Californians will ultimately decide they cannot afford to hire someone for the state’s top job who has pushed higher taxes and so grossly mismanaged the budget. This election is about moving in a new direction.”

“When he was governor three decades ago, Jerry Brown sought to hike taxes by $7 billion and turned a $4 billion surplus into a $1 billion deficit,” Schrimpf said. “Meg Whitman is the only candidate who will bring fresh ideas and solve the state’s most pressing challenges.”

Key findings of the poll can be found below.

Republican Governors Association uses Ted Strickland’s own words to measure his failures

The Republican Governors Association announced today it has released a new television advertisement that uses Ted Strickland’s own words to measure his failures. When he campaigned for governor in 2006 Ted Strickland promised to turn around Ohio to save and create jobs. Since 2006, Ohio has lost nearly 400,000 jobs.

“Ted Strickland is turning Ohio around and around and around, in circles,” said RGA spokesman Chris Schrimpf. “For the four years of Ted Strickland’s administration Ohio has been spinning its wheels while the state has been losing hundreds of thousands of jobs. Four years ago Strickland said things can’t continue the way they are. He’s right. Strickland’s time is up.”

The ad can be viewed at www.TimesUpTed.com where visitors can also download the Official “Time’s Up, Ted Countdown Clock” that they can install on their own website or blog.

Text transcript of the ad is below.

“Our Turnaround Ohio Plan has two aims. First of all, we’re going to keep the jobs we have by investing in our strengths, and we’re going to create the jobs of the future.”

Governor Strickland, four years ago you said you’d rescue the state’s economy, but we’ve lost 400,000 jobs.

Why would we think the next four years would be any different?

“We all know things can’t continue the way they are.”
You’re right, Governor. Broken promises, lost jobs. Time’s up, Ted.

Kristi Noem, I oppose raising taxes on South Dakota families and small business owners VIDEO

Kristi supports repealing the unfair death tax. Congresswoman Herseth Sandlin doesn't think we can "afford it."

Herseth Sandlin Admits to Supporting Tax Increases While Noem Opposes Higher Taxes.

SIOUX FALLS – Kristi Noem, candidate for South Dakota’s lone congressional seat today, reiterated her opposition to tax increases while Congresswoman Herseth Sandlin showed her true colors 14 days out from the election and admitted to supporting higher taxes on South Dakota families, small businesses and seniors.

The Noem campaign also released a video showing the clear difference between the candidates on the issue of the death tax.

“I have consistently said I oppose raising taxes on South Dakota families and small business owners during this economic downturn. The small business owners I speak with on the campaign trail tell me they need certainty when it comes to tax and regulatory policy. Now isn’t the time for higher taxes and more regulation,” said Noem.

In an October 18, 2010 interview with the Rapid City Journal, Congresswoman Herseth Sandlin admitted to supporting tax increases on South Dakota families and small businesses.

“While Noem supports making all the Bush-era tax cuts permanent, Herseth Sandlin prefers letting the tax cuts for individuals earning more than $250,000 a year expire after a one- or two-year extension. Noem supports ending the estate tax permanently; Herseth Sandlin said that would be too expensive.”

Congresswoman Herseth Sandlin also divulged that she would be open to higher taxes on South Dakota seniors dependent on Social Security.

“While Noem ruled out any tax increases for entitlements, Herseth Sandlin said she was open to considering a change in the Social Security tax, such as making high-income individuals contribute more to Social Security.”

Pat Toomey Joe Sestak Pennsylvania Senate Debate 10/20/10 VIDEO

Pat Toomey Joe Sestak Pennsylvania Senate Debate 10/20/10 FULL STREAMING VIDEO. Tonight's First Course: Whoppers! (That You Can Expect to Hear from Joe Sestak) Wed, 10/20/2010.

Allentown, PA – Tonight, as U.S. Senate candidates Pat Toomey and Joe Sestak debate in Philadelphia, we can expect to hear many of the same tired distortions and falsehoods from Congressman Sestak – many of which have already been debunked and labeled false by independent and nonpartisan entities.

In the interest of efficiency, let’s just put these falsehoods to bed right now.

Joe Sestak’s Top Ten Whoppers

1. FALSEHOOD: Pat Toomey is a Wall Street Lobbyist.

TRUTH: WTAE-TV News declared: “That’s false. Toomey has never been a lobbyist. We checked the records. Toomey is not now, and never was a registered lobbyist.” (WTAE ABC, 09/23/10)

2. FALSEHOOD: Pat Toomey pioneered the derivatives that caused the financial crisis.

TRUTH: FactCheck.Org declared this accusation to be “false,” writing: “Toomey was not dealing in the kind of derivatives that caused the economic crisis.” (Annenberg Political FactCheck Website, 08/17/10)

3. FALSEHOOD: Pat Toomey was not a real small business owner.

TRUTH: Many individuals who have worked with Pat Toomey during his years as a small business owner between 1991 – 1998 have testified to Pat’s daily involvement in the business. During that time, the restaurant business Pat Toomey owned and ran with his brothers was his sole source of income and the business created hundreds of jobs in the Lehigh Valley.

4. FALSEHOOD: Pat Toomey wants to put Social Security at risk by putting it in the stock market.

TRUTH: In Congress, Pat Toomey fought to protect Social Security, sponsoring many pieces of legislation to make sure that big spenders in Washington cannot spend Social Security funds, including the Social Security Protection Act of 2002 (HR 3981). In contrast, Joe Sestak has never sponsored or cosponsored legislation to protect Social Security and has voted for trillions of dollars in deficit spending that is threatening the solvency of Social Security.

5. FALSEHOOD: Pat Toomey voted to throw pay-as-you-go out the window.

TRUTH: Pat Toomey voted for a much stricter version of PayGo than Joe Sestak’s version. Pat voted for the Spending Control act of 2004 which set statutory caps on discretionary spending and instituted pay-as-you-go rules that would require mandatory spending increases to be offset (RC #318, 06/24/04). Congressman Sestak voted against a cap on discretionary spending (RC #611, 07/22/09) and voted for over $1 trillion in PayGo exemptions and waivers.

6. FALSEHOOD: Pat Toomey voted for the largest deficit in our history.

TRUTH: Over his four years in Congress, Joe Sestak voted for $3.3 trillion in new deficit spending. In contrast the cumulative budget deficit over Pat Toomey’s six years in Congress from 1999 – 2005 was $456 billion.

7. FALSEHOOD: Pat Toomey wrote the law to take the referee off the football field and deregulate Wall Street.

TRUTH: FactCheck.Org and President Clinton (who signed Gramm-Leach-Bliley) into law have already said that “The truth is, however, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act had little if anything to do with the current crisis. In fact, economists on both sides of the political spectrum have suggested that the act has probably made the crisis less severe than it might otherwise have been.” (Annenberg Political FactCheck Website, “Who Caused the Economic Crisis,” 10/01/08) (Business Week, 09/24/09)

8. FALSEHOOD: It made Joe Sestak “sick” to vote for the bailouts.

TRUTH: Right after Congressman Sestak voted to bail out Wall Street (Roll Call #681, 10/03/08), he declared: “I really strongly felt this was the most consequential vote I have taken these two years. And our nation, my constituents, who won’t be able to get affordable loans, whose savings are going to go down, small businesses are going to get loans, unemployment rises—this was a vote for them really” (The Comcast Network, 9/30/08). He then voted to release the second half of the Wall Street bailout funds even though 99 Democrats opposed it (RC #27, 01/22/09) and opposed a bipartisan effort to end TARP after one year (Press Release, 09/26/10).

9. FALSEHOOD: Joe Sestak supports small businesses, while Pat Toomey supports large corporations.

TRUTH: Congressman Sestak has voted for legislation that will cost Pennsylvanians tens of thousands of jobs. These include the cap-and-trade energy tax (RC #477, 06/26/09) that was opposed by 44 democrats, including four Pennsylvania Democrats; the government-run health care bill that would impose billions of dollars in taxes on small businesses (RC #165, 3/21/10); and Card Check legislation (RC #118, 03/01/07) which could lead to the loss of 600,000 jobs (Alliance to Save Main Street Jobs, 03/05/09). There is only one candidate in this race that has been endorsed by the largest association of small businesses – the National Federation of Independent Business – and that is Pat Toomey.

10. FALSEHOOD: Cap-and-trade will create, not cost Pennsylvania jobs.

TRUTH: Many experts have said that the cap-and-trade energy tax will cost Pennsylvania thousands of jobs. According to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, the cap-and-trade bill will have a “profound adverse impact” on the Commonwealth. It will also result in a net loss of as many as 66,000 jobs and a sizable hike in electric bills of residential consumers. (Letter to PA Congressional Delegation, 05/07/09) According to the Beacon Hill Institute, Pennsylvania will lose 47,549 jobs by 2020 and 480,852 by 2050 (The Beacon Hill Institute, June 2009). According to projections by the Energy Information Administration and the nonpartisan CBO, the net effect of the cap-and-trade bill will likely be to slow future job growth (Factcheck.Org, 10/27/09).

Marco Rubio Charlie Crist Florida Senate Debate 10/19/10 FULL STREAMING VIDEO. 10.19.10 | Rubio Campaign Statement On Winning Tonight’s Debate. Davie, FL – Following today’s U.S. Senate debate presented by Leadership Florida, Rubio for Senate spokesman Alex Burgos released the following statement:

“While Charlie Crist clung to his disproved and blatantly false attacks, Marco Rubio showed once again why he is the only candidate for Floridians who want an alternative to the direction Washington is taking our country. Once again, Charlie Crist put on full display his willingness to say and do anything to win this election and, in some cases, by not saying anything and dodging questions about the serious policy challenges facing America. But Floridians are seeing through him and his false attacks.

“As Marco Rubio said tonight, the road Washington has put us on will rob us of everything that makes America exceptional. This election is about finding the solutions to our nation’s challenges, and Marco Rubio has put forth 80 ideas to move Florida forward. It is time to send a leader to Washington who will stand up to the current agenda and offer a clear alternative, and Marco Rubio is the only candidate who will do this.”

Christine O’Donnell Chris Coons Delaware Senate Debate 10/19/10 FULL STREAMING VIDEO. O’Donnell Campaign Statement on Coons' Understanding of the First Amendment.

Wilmington, DE – Matt Moran, campaign manager for Christine O’Donnell, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, today issued the following statement to address the conversation of whether the separation of church and state is stated in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

“Christine O’Donnell was not questioning the concept of separation of church and state as subsequently established by the courts. She simply made the point that the phrase appears nowhere in the Constitution. It was in fact Chris Coons who demonstrated his Constitutional ignorance when he could not name the five freedoms contained in the First Amendment.”

Michelle Malkin posted an article in response to the Liberal Media spin on this topic. Chris Coons can’t name the five freedoms in the First Amendment.

John Kasich leads Ted Strickland in Ohio governor's race 51 - 41 %

October 19, 2010 - Kasich Holds Off Strickland In Ohio Gov Race, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Independent Voters Back Republican Almost 2-1 Republican John Kasich remains in command of the Ohio governor's race with a 51 - 41 percent likely voter lead

over Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland, statistically unchanged from Kasich's 50 - 41 percent edge October 5, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today, two weeks before Election Day.

Kasich's lead is built on a 59 - 32 percent margin among independent likely voters, and a 64 - 29 percent spread among white evangelical Christians, according to the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University survey conducted by live interviewers.

President Barack Obama remains unpopular among Ohio voters who disapprove 56 - 40 percent of the job he is doing and say 32 - 9 percent they are less likely rather than more likely to vote for Strickland because the President is campaigning for the governor. Independent voters say 35 - 4 percent that Obama's campaigning makes them less likely to vote for Strickland.

"John Kasich's lead has remained the same and the sand is slipping through the hour glass. If Gov. Ted Strickland is going to turn this election around, he needs to do it quickly," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "But the obvious question is, 'What can Strickland do in the two weeks before Election Day that he has been unable to do so far?'"

Women voters split with 46 percent for Kasich and 45 percent for Strickland. But Kasich leads 55 - 37 percent among men. Kasich leads among Republicans 91 - 5 percent while Democrats back Strickland 84 - 7 percent.

"Although it is hypothetically possible, it's difficult to see how anyone can win a statewide election when they are getting beat so badly among independents. The race may be a dead heat among women, but it is a landslide among men," said Brown. "President Barack Obama's 63 percent disapproval rating among independent voters is an extremely heavy anchor around Ted Strickland's neck."

Not only is Kasich ahead, but only 8 percent of his supporters say they might change their minds, compared to 12 percent of Strickland's backers.

Strickland is viewed favorably by 43 percent of likely voters, including just 34 percent of independents, and unfavorably by 47 percent. Those numbers are better for the governor, however, than his job approval rating, which shows voters giving him a 54 - 39 percent thumbs down.

Kasich, a former congressman, gets a favorable opinion rating from 47 percent, with an unfavorable score of 33 percent.

"The economy is the defining issue in the race for governor. Strickland holds an overwhelming 89 - 6 percent lead among the likely voters who think the economy is improving, but they make up only 19 percent of the electorate. Kasich dominates the 36 percent who think the economy is getting worse 76 - 13 percent. The 45 percent of voters who think the economy is staying the same back Kasich 50 - 43 percent," said Brown.

Kasich's lead in the horse race is backed up by his 52 - 38 percent lead as the candidate best able to turn around the Ohio economy and his 48 - 40 percent lead as the candidate who most shares voters' values.

"Anything is possible in politics, but if Gov. Strickland is able to pull out a victory it will take the kind of final drive that makes history," said Brown.

From October 12 - 17, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,188 Ohio likely voters, with a margin of error of +/- 2.8 percentage points.

The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public opinion surveys in Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio and the nation as a public service and for research.

Sean Bielat, Fourth District Race Goes Negative, Barney Frank Attacks...Barney Frank! VIDEO

Newton – Sean Bielat, candidate for Massachusetts' Fourth Congressional District, launched his fourth television ad which highlights Barney Frank's record of denying the crisis surrounding failed mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The ad features none of the grainy video, scary, distorted voice overs, or political spin typically associated with hard hitting campaign ads. Instead, the ad, entitled “Same Old Tune”, features a straightforward account of Barney Frank's record in his own words, as he ignores warnings that Fannie and Freddie threatened to collapse the economy.

“We see entities that are fundamentally sound financially,” says Frank, refering to Fannie and Freddie. “And even if they were a problem, the federal government doesn't bail them out.” According to a recent report by the Washington Post, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have received more than $150 billion in taxpayer funded bailouts, and the Congressional Budget Office has said it could be as much as $400 billion before it's all over.

“But you're not going to see the collapse,” says Barney. “Fundamentally, I don't think there is a crisis,” he said in 2006. Of course, the economy did collapse as a result of the housing crisis and unemployment has hovered at or near 10% for more than a year.

“The policies supported by Barney Frank have resulted in millions of people losing their homes and their jobs, and no one has been held accountable”, said Bielat. “Worse, when Barney had an opportunity to enact real reform, he instead made bailouts permanent and let CEOs walk away with billions in bonuses. The people have had enough. It's time for a real change in Washington.”

The ad will run on broadcast and cable television.

Leader Boehner Pledges Support to Secure Armed Services Seat for Vicky Hartzler

Washington – House Republican Leader John Boehner pledged his support today to secure an assignment on the important House Armed Services Committee for Vicky Hartzler, GOP nominee for Missouri’s Fourth Congressional District. “Vicky Hartzler has my full support for a seat on the House Armed Services Committee,” said House Republican Leader John Boehner.

“America’s warriors and their families need a leader like Vicky Hartzler who listens, understands the challenges they face, and is eager to address them. Vicky also knows that the policies coming out of Washington lately – ‘stimulus’ spending sprees, costly mandates, and government takeovers – have failed our armed services. That’s why I look forward to working with Vicky, the Republican leadership, and the Members of the Steering Committee to place her on the committee at the earliest possible opportunity.”

Missouri’s Fourth Congressional District includes two big military bases: Fort Leonard Wood in Pulaski County and Whiteman Air Force Base, where the 21 original B-2 bombers flew to drop precision-targeted bombs in Afghanistan. Hartzler is dedicated to the preservation of our vital military bases and ensuring that they have the best equipment, latest technology, and proactive leadership that recognizes and funds all possible avenues of threat mitigation, including a strong missile defense. Military veterans make up 14.2 percent of the population of Missouri’s Fourth Congressional District and Hartzler is committed to keeping the support for both the active and retired military a priority. With a seat on the Armed Services Committee, Vicky Hartzler will have the ability to help protect our armed services and oversee any legislation affecting the funding and oversight of our national defense.

Like Libertarian James Quigley, he is seeking to unseat Democrat Bobby Scott, who was first elected to Congress in 1992. Smith was at the Virginia Tea Party Patriots Convention in Richmond on October 9 to participate in a candidates’ forum. He spoke to the Charlottesville Libertarian Examiner about the Tea Party movement, whether the GOP should reach out to libertarians, and what he’s hearing from voters as he campaigns through the district.

‘Wonderful movement’

The Tea Party phenomenon, Smith said, is “a wonderful movement. I think it represents the moms, pops, sons, daughters, uncles, aunts of America. They’re energized -- and energized for a good reason, that America’s going in the wrong direction.”

John Raese Repeal Obamacare VIDEO

By JohnRaese4Senate All Rights Reserved

Besides robbing your family of basic medical care choice, the new Obamacare health plan passed by the Democratic congress is expected to employ thousands of new IRS agents to track down Americans for payment of health care taxes.

The cost of the greatest social spending program in the nation’s history is still under debate, but since the inception of Medicare in 1965 the cost of the program has grown 2.7% faster the economy and should reach 20% of America’s GDP within the decade.

Martha Roby Outpaces incumbent Democrat Bobby Bright in 3rd Quarter Money Chase VIDEO

MONTGOMERY— With a little over two weeks until voters head to the polls Republican Martha Roby outraised incumbent Democrat Bobby Bright by more than $150,000, or 42 percent, in the critical third quarter reporting period of the hotly contested campaign to win Alabama’s Second Congressional District.

Roby raised $363,690 during the period spanning July 1 to September 30, compared to just $209,602 for Bright. The fundraising data, made public tonight as part of required Federal Election Commission filings,

contains all the tell-tale signs that grassroots momentum is solidly swinging towards Roby in the closing weeks of the election.

More than 70 percent of Roby’s donations came from individual donors, while Democrat Bright relied on Washington-based political action committees for nearly 70 percent of all donations to his campaign.

Roby received donations from over 400 individual contributors, while Bright had fewer than 100 individual contributors. Roby raised $188,000 more from individuals than did Bright.

Less than a quarter of Bright’s money was raised in the district.

“The enthusiasm and support we’re receiving from voters all across the Second District has been overwhelming,” Roby said. “I am so grateful for all those that have been willing to stand behind our campaign, to support us with donations, and to make generous offers of time and energy to knock on doors, make phone calls, or contact their friends and neighbors.”

This fundraising victory comes on the heels of several signs of increasing momentum for the Roby campaign. The campaign released a Public Opinion Strategies poll last week showing Roby with a two-point lead, after trailing eight points in July.

In reaction to these developments, respected political pundit Charlie Cook last week moved the Second District contest from “Leans Democrat” to “Toss-Up,” and the Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza moved the race up to 37 from 43 on his weekly list of the 50 House races most likely to switch parties in November.

“Our message is clear and direct: we stand for the Constitution, for limited government, for lower taxes and less regulation—and we’re willing to fight every day to defend those principles so that hard working Americans can get our economy moving again,” Roby said. “It’s hard to say what Nancy Pelosi and Bobby Bright’s Democratic party stands for, except more spending, more debt, and more regulation. And that is exactly what we’ll get so long as they remain in power.”

Democrat Bright previously enjoyed a 6 to 1 cash-on-hand advantage in the race. After Roby’s third quarter effort, which more than doubled her previous quarterly best, Bright’s advantage is reduced to less than 2 to 1.
