Arizonans know Carmona’s loyalty is to President Obama
and Harry Reid
PHOENIX – Richard Carmona knows that he can’t be honest
about his liberal political leanings since they are so out of step for Arizona.
He’s worked hard to avoid taking public positions, trying to hide from voters
that he’d be a reliable vote for Obama’s liberal agenda. The latest example is
Carmona’s attempt to hide who he would support as his Democratic leader in the
Senate – which would be his first vote.
Before new members are sworn in, they
elect their party’s leadership. For Democrat Richard Carmona, there’s little
doubt for whom he’ll cast his vote -- Harry
Reid.
Like President Obama, Senator Reid personally
recruited Richard Carmona to join him in Washington. Both
did so knowing that Democrat Carmona would be a reliable rubber stamp vote for their liberal agenda. In
fact, Reid is so confident in Carmona’s vote that he and his Senate Majority PAC
has sunk more than $400,000 into his
race. Additionally, the Democrat’s Senatorial Campaign Committee has spent
over $500,000 to date in Arizona for Richard
Carmona.
“Richard Carmona is bought and paid for by Senate
Democrat Leader Harry Reid, because his Super PAC has sunk over $400,000 into
Carmona’s campaign” said Andrew Wilder, communications director for Flake for
Senate. “Does anybody believe for a moment that Carmona isn’t expected to repay
Harry Reid’s generous investment in his campaign by supporting him as his party
leader? Either Dr. Carmona is incredibly naïve or he thinks Arizona voters are
dumb.”
It’s understandable why Democrat
Richard Carmona is embarrassed to be open about supporting Harry Reid. Because
not only did Reid personally write the $1.76 trillion, job-killing healthcare
bill, but under his leadership, the Senate has failed to pass a budget –
perhaps the single most important task of the legislative body – in
over 1,200 days. Carmona is on the hook to reward that record of failure,
enabling Reid to continue in his role as Leader. That’s not what Arizona voters
want and it’s not what America
needs.
Here are some of highlights of the man
that Richard Carmona would elect as his leader in the
Senate:
Harry Reid Told Senator Joe
Lieberman, “I Can’t Stand John McCain.” “Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,
D-Nev., defended Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman on Wednesday after the former
Democratic vice presidential nominee accepted a speaking slot at next month’s
Republican convention in Minnesota. ‘He has a close personal relationship with
John McCain. I don’t fully understand why he does,’ said Reid, who said
Lieberman called Tuesday from the Republic of Georgia to alert him to the move.
‘I told him last night, “You know, Joe, I can’t stand John McCain.” He said, “I
know you feel that way,”‘ Reid said.” (Molly Ball, “Reid Shares Senate Ideas,”
Las Vegas Review Journal,
8/21/08)
Harry Reid Said That He
Couldn’t Understand How A Hispanic Could Be A Republican. “U.S. Sen. Harry Reid
on Tuesday slammed Republicans for blocking comprehensive immigration reform and
told Hispanics they shouldn’t be treated differently because ‘their skin’s a
tone darker’ than that of America’s early European immigrants. ‘I don’t know how
anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican, OK,’ Reid said, speaking to
Latino supporters whose votes he needs to win re-election in November. ‘Do I
need to say more?’” (Laura Myers, “Reid: How can Hispanics be Republican?,” Las Vegas Review Journal,
8/11/10)
Harry Reid Called Opponents Of President Obama’s
Health Care Bill “Evil Mongers.” “Nevertheless, the Senate majority leader
invoked the e-word himself last week at an energy conference in Las Vegas, where
he accused those protesting President Barack Obama’s health-care proposals of
being ‘evil mongers.’ So proud was he of this contribution to the American
political lexicon that he repeated it to a reporter the next day and noted the
phrase was ‘an original.’” (Bill McGurn, “Harry Reid’s ‘Evil’ Moment,” Wall Street Journal,
8/18/09)
Thankfully, Arizonans have a better
choice. As a member of the House of Representatives, Jeff Flake has a proven
record of holding both parties accountable on issues such as runaway government
spending and the corrupt practice of earmarking. In the Senate, Flake would
continue to be a check and balance on both parties in order to fight for
Arizona.
