NRSC Launches Volume 3 Of The Carmona Files: Richard Carmona’s Resume
Includes Bullying Colleagues, Being Fired And Suing His Former Employer Throughout the past year, Richard Carmona has constantly misled voters about his so-called impeccable resume, but today the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) released the third volume of the “Carmona Files,” which reveals that throughout his career Carmona has consistently bullied his colleagues, has been fired from his job and has tried to sue his former employer. While it’s been well documented that Carmona does not work well with others and that he makes insensitive jokes towards women, it’s been forgotten that Carmona has consistently been removed from various jobs. Carmona has been dismissed from the Tucson Medical Center, forced to resign from the Pima County Health System and was never re-nominated to be Surgeon General. And when he leaves, he has sued these healthcare facilities, which diverts millions of dollars that could otherwise be used on patient care. Click Here…
NRSC Chair Statement On Indiana Senate Race
“Richard and I, along with millions of Americans – including even Joe Donnelly – believe that life is a gift from God. To try and construe his words as anything other than a restatement of that belief is irresponsible and ridiculous. In fact, rather than condemning him for his position, as some in his party have when it’s come to Republicans, I commend Congressman Donnelly for his support of life. “But this election is about big ideas and the reality that our country is going in the wrong direction. If you support Obamacare, government bailouts, reckless spending and higher taxes than you should vote for Joe Donnelly. But if you believe, as I do, that our government is too big, our taxes are too high, and we are passing an irresponsible debt onto future generations, than Richard Mourdock is your candidate to help get our country back on track.” U.S. Senator…
NEW NRSC AD: KAINE’S SUPPORT FOR MASSIVE DEFENSE CUTS WOULD CRIPPLE VIRGINIA’S ECONOMY
Former DNC Chairman Has A Consistent Record Of Misplaced Priorities WASHINGTON – Tim Kaine supports defense cuts that would cripple Virginia’s economy and wipe out jobs. That’s the clear message from a new TV ad released today by the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC). The ad uses Tim Kaine’s own words to highlight his misplaced priorities of supporting the failed economic stimulus, while now supporting massive defense cuts to pay for it. Kaine was a vocal cheerleader for the stimulus, arguing it was “what’s needed.” But a George Mason University study revealed that Virginia would lose over 200,000 jobs from the defense spending cuts that Kaine now supports to pay for it. “As thousands of critical defense jobs hang in the balance, voters will be reminded that Tim Kaine has consistently put the agenda of his liberal party leaders in Washington ahead of what’s best for the Commonwealth of Virginia,” NRSC spokesman Brian…

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) today released their latest statewide ad – “Means It” – which continues highlighting Joe Donnelly’s habit of paying his taxes late even though he’s consistently voted to raise taxes on middle class Americans. “The fact Joe Donnelly has the audacity to support higher taxes on Hoosiers when he has a habit of being late paying his own taxes is truly appalling,”NRSC spokesman Lance Trover said today. “The bottom line is Indiana voters simply cannot afford to send a hypocrite like Joe Donnelly, who wants to raise their taxes, to Washington D.C.” Click Here To Watch BACKGROUND….

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) today released their latest statewide ad – “Taxes” – which reminds voters that embattled U.S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley’s reckless spending habits are hurting Nevadans. During her long career in Washington, Berkley supported the Wall Street bailout, the failed $825 billion stimulus and a $1.76 trillion healthcare law that has only increased the size of government, while doing nothing to boost Nevada’s ailing economy. CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO “Between her support for the failed $825 billion stimulus and a $1.76 trillion job-killing healthcare bill, Nevadans are paying dearly for embattled Congresswoman Shelley Berkley’s reckless spending habits,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “Under President Obama and Shelley Berkley’s watch, Nevada’s unemployment rate has gone up and our national debt has skyrocketed. In a time like this, it’s clear Nevadans need a proven leader like Dean Heller who will work to enact pro-jobs policies that…

NRSC Statement On Latest Broken Promises & Hypocritical Conduct From Senator Claire McCaskill
WASHINGTON – In 2009, Senator Claire McCaskill told Missourians that she spent “hours” going through the Democrats’ massive stimulus bill “line-by-line.” Yet, last week, Missourians learned for the first time that McCaskill made sure to keep in the that bill a $1 million taxpayer-funded appropriation to her husband’s network of companies. This of course brought new meaning to McCaskill’s past claim that the Obama stimulus had been “wildly successful.”Similarly, in 2006, McCaskill looked Missourians in the eye and promised that her husband’s business empire would never be a conflict of interest if she was elected to the Senate. McCaskill even said point blank, “I’ll do whatever’s necessary to make sure there’s no ethical conflict.Yet, another broken promise by Senator McCaskill because as has been widely reported this afternoon by the Associated Press, an AP analysis has found that companies linked to McCaskill and her husband have received nearly $40 million…
Liberal Madison Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin Brings Her Anti-Veteran, Anti-Defense Record To The Fox Valley
Baldwin Voted Against Funding Our Troops And Against Projects For Our Veterans After being in Washington for 14 years where she’s voted against our troops, voted against projects for our veterans while voting to insult a four-star general, today liberal Madison Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin heads to Appleton where she’ll try and run from her appalling record. Baldwin has partnered with members of the radical Liberal Progressive Caucus where they worked to defund our troops while in combat. While this was occurring, Baldwin was also supportive of a nasty smear by MoveOn.Org that called General David H. Petraeus, General Betray-Us. Baldwin is also on record supporting President Obama’s $500 billion in cuts to the Defense Department. If these cuts are enacted it will weaken our military and destroy over 36,000 jobs in the Badger State. Additionally, Baldwin has voted against legislation that provided medical services and extended care facilities for our…
