Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!!
I have been waiting for the DSCC to hit “moderate” Pat Toomey, Pennsylvania Senator and former head of the Club for Growth on his Social Security positions.
Because we have defined “moderation” down in the GOP, Pat has portrayed himself as some kind of bi-partisan Senator. He is one of the most right-wing Senators on the economy in the entire country actually if you look at his voting record.
Pat has always been a water carrier for Wall Street. When he was first in Congress he was instrumental in writing the law that de-regulated derivatives.
Pat put out an Ayn Randian book in the meantime that reads like every warmed over WSJ editorial on why the rich need more tax cuts and regulations are bad.
One of his chapters was of course, privatizing Social Security and turning over to his friends in Wall Street to skim off the fees. This would also create a huge “moral hazard” where these traders could act irresponsibly and then be confident of a bailout if they failed. Pat gets by this by saying he is in favor of “reform. But who knows? When chickenhawk Pat “Audie Murphy” Toomey is ever asked any tough question, he bravely runs away, usually to an elevator.
I have been waiting for the DSCC to hit him on this. Pennsylvania is one of the oldest states in the Union demographically. There is a lot of “Get the Government out of my Medicare” idiocy from Pat’s elder supporters. But here is the ad to show he really isn’t there friend:
DSCC - Toomy on Social Security
Pat is in trouble in his re-election here in the Keystone State.
The Koch Brothers are pouring money into the state on his behalf knowing he is a loyal foot-solider for the uber wealthy. I just got an mailer from Americans for Prosperity blaming Katie McGinty for the cost of food at the grocery store?! Here connection is...I have no idea.
Please hit Katie McGinty’s Act Blue Page and get rid of this miserable human being as our Senator:
