NRA Endorses Cassidy for Senator

[Snuggie308]

Kinda pisses me off that the NRA endorses him after they know he voted to cut vet benefits and also voted to raise our retirement age to 70!! Maness is a vet, an NRA life member, a CCP holder!! DUH!!??

Facts on Cassidy

Do not believe everything that is claimed. Mary's disinformation campaign is in full swing.

The vote was on a non-binding procedure matter asking if over time the Congress should consider adjusting the retirement age to deal with the longer life span on an actuarial basis.

However, FactCheck.org just released their analysis on an attack ad by the Senate Majority PAC which claims that Cassidy *voted for a plan that would cut veterans benefits.* Their response and decision on the claim: 100% UNTRUE.

The attack ad on Cassidy refers to a *February 2012 vote related to a Republican-sponsored bill that would have changed the budget process in a way that may or may not have resulted in budget cuts. Under the bill, baseline budget projections would not be adjusted for inflation. But Congress would still need to decide how much to spend above or below the baseline. The Congressional Budget Office said in an analysis of the bill: ‘Any impact on the budget would depend on the extent of future legislative actions.’* The bill was titled ‘The Baseline Reform Act of 2012.’

But, Cassidy’s vote was actually on a Democratic motion to the Baseline Reform Act of 2012, which would have altered how *CBO determines baseline projections used to measure the impact of changes in law. Under current law, baseline budget projections are based on the current year appropriations, but adjusted for inflation. The GOP proposal would have required that baseline projections no longer be adjusted for inflation.*

Cassidy is also an NRA member.
Vote anybody but Mary in November 2014

...Vote anybody but Mary in November 2014

If you want to beat Mary, vote for Cassidy. Throwing your vote to any of the lesser (or, un-) known candidates may be satisfying, but it will simply dilute the vote and give her another win.

This is false and is spread by Cassidy to try to ensure he gets into the runoff.

If she gets over 50% on the first round it does not matter if Cassidy has 25% or 49%, she still wins. Vote for a real conservative on the first round. If Maness doesn't win, then choose one of the politicians.

My fear is that if Mary makes a runoff and the results of that race will determine who has the majority in the Senate, the Dems will flood the state with lawyers and free rides to the polls.

Maybe if the republicans keep dropping races, they will understand that they should pit forth a conservative. Another Romney, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Cassidy, etc. We need a difference, not the same old compromising politicians. Democrats say they want to cut my arm off at the sholder. Conservatives say no way. Republicans valiantly compromise and cut my arm off at the elbow.
