Senator Bob Casey Jr's (D) campaign released a new ad that aims right for Tea Party Tom Smith's(R) jugular. He goes after Smith's support for the Paul Ryan budget which turns medicare into a voucher program and makes deep cuts in Social Security. Check it out:
Bob Casey: I'm Bob Casey and I approve this message.
Narrator: Tea Party founder, Tom Smith.
Tom Smith: I have started my own Tea Party group.
Narrator: Tom called the tea party budget quote "a good plan." It's the most radical plan in congress. A plan that would end Medicare in two years even for current recipients and cut Social Security benefits by 40%. Tea Party Tom Smith, extremely wrong for Pennsylvania.
Pretty powerful stuff. Tea Party Tom Smith has been endorsed by both the Tea Party Express and FreedomWorks. Senator Casey has been endorsed by the AFL-CIO and League Of Conservation voters for his dedicated service to organized labor, the middle-class and environmental issues.

Senator Casey has also received endorsements from two of the top newspapers. The Philadelphia Inquirer:

Rather than being thoughtful, Smith has been parroting extreme right-wing points of view. There's too much of that in Congress now. What Congress needs is more thoughtful leaders capable of finding common ground. The Inquirer endorses BOB CASEY, a strong advocate for Pennsylvania who would help restore the civility that Washington needs. - Philadelphia Inquirer, 10/16/12
And the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:

We don’t agree with some of the policies advocated by the first-term Democrat. But we have come to appreciate him on a personal level and to admire the congenial manner in which he interacts with not only his constituents but also Pat Toomey, his junior Republican colleague in the Senate. It’s that kind of personal comity that serves Pennsylvania and the nation best.
Mr. Casey is being challenged by Republican Tom Smith. He was a Democrat committeeman as recently as 2010. Despite our policy differences with Casey, we prefer the Democrat we know to the Republican of convenience.
Re-elect Bob Casey Jr. - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, 10/14/12
Smith is another Tea Party extremist trying to destroy the safety net to pay for the tax breaks for himself and his wealthy friends. Smith is also shill for the coal companies so one can only imagine what type of destructive, anti-environmental legislative Smith would author and support in the Senate. A vote for Casey is a vote to secure the safety net and our environment. Help Senator Casey fight back against Smith's self-funded campaign of lies and right wing propaganda, donate to his campaign today:
