Here’s an example of good ol’ boy politics in Washington. Bob Etheridge is now running a TV ad where several of his supporters praise him – but what the ad doesn’t explain is at least two of the Etheridge supporters received ‘Stimulus Fund’ checks, thanks to Etheridge. Mr. Linwood Parker is an example. Mr. Parker [...]

Obama-Etheridge Policies Crushing the Middle Class
Bob Etheridge just sent out an email attacking me claiming “my opponent‘s economic plan would crush middle class families and reward Wall Street” – That’s pretty brazen from a man who’s accepted $500,000 in cash from special interest PACs, then voted to bail out everyone from Wall Street bankers to the United Auto Workers Union. [...]
More Washington Politics and Out of Control Spending
When you turn on the television or read a newspaper these days it seems the world has gone crazy, but it’s really just the same old Washington politics we’ve seen over and over again. While families across North Carolina are struggling to find jobs or hold onto the jobs they have, President Obama continues to [...]
Stealing from the Next Generation
President Obama has a new economic plan – to borrow another fifty billion for more ‘Stimulus’ spending. Haven’t we already seen this movie? Wasn’t Obama’s first eight hundred billion dollar “stimulus” plan (which my opponent, Bob Etheridge voted for) supposed to create three million jobs? The cold reality is since Obama and Etheridge started borrowing [...]
My Labor Day Message
This may be the toughest Labor Day many of us have faced in our lifetimes. Unemployment continues to rise, up again last month. Obama’s Stimulus Plan (which Bob Etheridge supported enthusiastically) has failed. The deficit (and spending by Congress) is more out of control than ever. The Obama administration is even spending foreign aid (Bob [...]
More Jobs Lost
The Labor Department announced another fifty four thousand jobs were lost last month and unemployment increased again. In reaction, President Obama called for another stimulus. The more things change, the more they remain the same. Our economy won’t change until Washington stops spending money we don’t have. We were told that if we passed the [...]
One More Government Job – Imam Rauf
President Obama and Congressman Etheridge have created at least one job. Obama’s State Department has work for Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the Muslim cleric who wants to build the Mosque overlooking Ground Zero. They are sending him out as an ambassador to the Muslim world on a trip that reportedly includes stops in Saudi Arabia, [...]
Etheridge’s “Main Street before Wall Street” Rhetoric
For those who did not receive the slick card mailer Bob Etheridge sent at taxpayer expense last week, he had the following to say about his record on putting “Main Street before Wall Street:” Tough new Wall Street reforms will rein in Big Banks, and their excessive bonuses, end bailouts and stop “too big to [...]
Etheridge’s Priorities Don’t Match NC-2 Priorities
In a letter Bob Etheridge sent to voters last week – at taxpayer expense – he stated: “The issues that matter most to North Carolinians are Bob Etheridge’s priorities.” According to a poll of Second District voters done in June by Survey USA , 55% to 38% voting in our district disapprove of the job [...]
How Etheridge’s Washington Letter Compares to Real World Facts…
In his latest newsletter to voters – again paid for with taxpayers’ money – Bob Etheridge is making claims that are simply not supported by the facts.
For instance, in his email this week Congressman Etheridge said, “My top priorities in the U.S. House of Representatives have been jobs, jobs, and jobs.”
If he was really in touch with the economic situation in the district – and the nation – he would know the state of the job market has only suffered as a result of his votes for Obama’s so-called ‘Stimulus Plan,’ Obamacare and billions of additional Democratic spending on failed policies. He would also know that the middle class – he claims to be working for – is suffering greatly in today’s economy.
