    NRCC Mocks Democrats Over Trillion Dollar Coin

    Trillion dollar coin

    The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) wants to remind Americans that the government spending is the problem.

    The National Republican Congressional Committee will announce an online petition today urging House Democrats to say they don’t think a $1 trillion coin should be minted to pay down the debt. It’s an attempt to get some earned media ahead of the debt ceiling fight and center the conversation on the deficit. Seven Democrats will be targeted with customized releases (photos of their faces on $1 trillion coins), including Jim Matheson (UT-04), Mike McIntyre (NC-07), Collin Peterson (MN-07), Tim Walz (MN-01), Jerrold Nadler (NY-10) and Nick Rahall (WV-03).

    The website is here.

    Check it out and sign the petition.

    House 2012: National Republican Congressional Committee Has Twice as Much Cash as the Democrats

    Well, the GOP did retake the House last year (see graphic above) – so, you would expect good fundraising from the special interests.

    In the battle for control of the House of Representatives, the National Republican Congressional Committee has twice as much money in the bank as its Democratic counterpart.

    The NRCC revealed late Monday that the party committee has $10.6 million cash on hand as of June 1, double the $5.3 million the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee reported having in the bank as of the end of last month.

    The NRCC reported raising $4.6 million in May and a debt of $7 million. The DCCC brought in $3.8 million last month, with a debt of $6.6 million. The NRCC points out that they have raised $26.8 million so far this year, nearly double what they raised in the first half of 2009.

    The Democrats will need to win 24 seats to regain the majority in the House. But, with Rahm Emanuel gone (elected Mayor of Chicago) and moderate Democrats having been largely replaced by Republicans (those recruited by Emanuel) the Democrats will be hard pressed to win back the House in 2012.

    The money gap will make it even more difficult and unlikely.

    House Democrats Vote for The Airport for No One

    Murtha-airport

    From the National Republican Congressional Committee – Book Your Flight Today

    Here it comes!

    While Californians are struggling with high unemployment and home foreclosures, the House Democrats have voted to spend government tax money to build an airport in Pennsylvania that an average 20 people use a day.

    It is an airport for no one.

    Except Congressman John Murtha.

    Eight House Democrats voted for this boondoggle and will be targeted by the National Republican Congressional Committee today in radio ads to be aired in their districts.

    The lawmakers are Larry Kissell of North Carolina, Harry Teague of New Mexico, Kurt Schrader of Oregon, Michael Arcuri of New York, Carol Shea Porter of New Hampshire, Vic Snyder of Arkansas, Mark Schauer of Michigan, and Stephanie Herseth of South Dakota

    The version running against Kurt Schrader can be heard here. The core of the message is:

    “Kurt Schrader voted for Nancy Pelosi’s wasteful $787 billion spending plan. Schrader’s been voting with Pelosi 97 percent of the time. It’s unbridled power, with no accountability. ABC News says $800,000 went to repave for a runway at a Pennsylvania airport that only has three flights a day. It’s the airport for no one. The airport averages just 20 passengers a day — but one of those customers happens to be a powerful Democratic Congressman, John Murtha. Coincidence? You decide.”

    The stories of wasteful government spending are only beginning to surface. The earmarks, the special deals, the favoritism all in the name of economic stimulus.

    What a waste……

    National Republican Congressional Committee Targets 43 House Democrats

    Governor Tim Pawlenty (R-MN) Delivers Weekly Republican Address

    The GOP House offense begins today.

    The NRCC will launch a recess ad offensive today, hitting Democrats in 43 districts for helping to “rubber stamp” spending bills for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), reports Roll Call.

    Most of those 43 Democrats will be the target of robocalls flooding into their districts later this week, but nine Democrats will begin hearing NRCC radio ads in their district starting today.

    About damn time….

    If the National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee (NRCC) wishes to CONTAIN their losses this November they must aggressively produce and campaign on a national agenda. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich the architect of the Contract with America and who successfully won GOP control of the House has produced one such plan.

    The NRCC has two choices:

    • FIGHT
    • SURRENDER

    Which will it be?

    The track record of the National Republican Congressional Committee has been horrible. Some pundits blame President Bush. Some, including California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger blame the GOP brand and the RIGHT.

    Newt Gingrich has it RIGHT.

    John McCain’s shift and pandering to the LEFT will NOT help the GOP this fall. Perhaps a “Bob Dole” type loss to Barack Obama in November will re-vitalize the GOP as Ford’s loss to Jimmy Carter – giving us Ronald Reagan four years later.
