From voting for President Obama’s failed $800 billion “Stimulus” debacle, to casting the deciding 60th vote for President Obama’s costly, unpopular healthcare law – the Tester-Obama record just doesn’t add up for Montanans…
Here’s a quick look at the Tester-Obama record by the numbers…
- 95– Instead of standing up for Montana’s best interests, Senator Tester supports President Obama’s liberal agenda 95 percent of the time in Washington, under which America has lost jobs and our national debt has skyrocketed at a record-breaking pace, putting future generations at risk…
- 60– Instead of listening to Montanans, who overwhelmingly oppose President Obama’s costly health care law, Senator Tester ignored Montanans’ voices and cast the deciding 60th vote to make the Obama health care overhaul the law of the land – including its $500 billion in job-killing tax hikes, $500 billion in Medicare cuts, and onerous “individual mandate” on every Montanan…
- $800 Billion– Despite promising to bring fiscal responsibility to Washington, Senator Tester and President Obama spent $800 billion on their “stimulus” debacle, which has failed to create the jobs they promised while helping drive our national debt to a record $15.3 trillion...
- 1– After running for Senate on an anti-lobbyist platform in 2006, the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics shows that Senator Tester is hypocritically the # 1 recipient of lobbyist campaign cash out of all 535 members of Congress during the 2012 election cycle…
- 2– Despite claiming he supports our Second Amendment rights, Senator Tester voted to confirm both of President Obama’s anti-gun liberal activist judges to lifetime appointments on the U.S. Supreme Court, putting our Second Amendment rights at risk...
- 91– In Washington, Senator Tester was a 91 percent supporter of the anti-job agenda of the environmental obstructionist League of Conservation Voters in 2011 – the same group leading the fight to kill the job-creating Keystone XL pipeline…
- $300 Billion– Despite claiming to oppose “all bailouts,” Senator Tester voted to spend $300 billion to bail out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac at taxpayer expense...
And LETTERS matter too, when looking at Senator Tester’s liberal record…
- A-I-G– Senator Tester voted to allow taxpayer-funded bonuses for corporate executives at this insurance giant after they took a massive taxpayer-funded bailout, part of the Tester-Obama "stimulus." (Rich Edson, “Amid AIG Furor, Dodd Tries To Undo Bonus Protections In The ‘Dodd Amendment’ Rules,” FOX Business, 3/17/09)
- S-T-A-R-T– Despite promising to protect Malmstrom Air Force Base, Senator Tester voted to ratify President Obama’s New START Treaty, which threatens Malmstrom’s ICBM force, and could harm both our national security and Great Falls’ economy…
