HARRISBURG – Republican Party of Pennsylvania Spokesman Mike Barley released the following statement regarding news that 10th District Democratic Congressman Chris Carney has voted to advance the Obama-Pelosi Agenda 91% of the time according to The Washington Post.
“Make no mistake about it: Carney is one of the most fierce supporters of the Obama-Pelosi Agenda,” said Barley, “Under their watch, unemployment and the national debt have nearly doubled with no end in sight. Chris Carney has voted to support the ultra-liberal Obama-Pelosi agenda 91% of the time, and by any standard, scoring a 91% on any test earns you an ‘A’.”
“The fact of the matter is that Chris Carney has decided to choose the wishes of his Democratic leaders over the needs of his constituents. At a time when the unemployment rate is constantly flirting with double-digits, it’s no surprise that Americans are continuing to reject the liberal agenda of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and their star pupil, Chris Carney.
“If Chris Carney is as fiscally conservative and independent as he claims, then what is he doing supporting the Obama-Pelosi agenda nearly 91% of the time, including government-run health care and a nearly $1 trillion stimulus package?
According to the latest CBS Poll, conducted on July 9-12th, 2010, less than 25% of Americans believe that the agenda championed by Obama, Pelosi and Chris Carney will improve the economy.
Barley concluded, “It’s time for the people of the 10th Congressional District to elect a Congressman who put their needs first – it’s time to elect Tom Marino!”
