Norm Coleman has been asked some pretty embarrassing questions lately - about money funneled to him from a supporter, about receiving free suits, and free trips on a private jet.
The culture of corruption that has plagued the Bush White House has infected Norm Coleman as well. These illegal gifts come with a price - influence over Coleman's actions in the U.S. Senate, and this effects all of us.
It is time that Minnesota get the honest representation in the U.S. Senate that it deserves. It is time for Norm Coleman to go.
Wicker - where is he on the issues?
Iraq: still supporting the spending of $12 billion per month in Iraq.
Social Security: Still supports risking your retirement savings on Wall Street.
Jobs: Supports tax breaks for companies shipping jobs overseas.
Voting: voted with Bush almost 90% of the time.
Mississippi deserves better, much better.
Norm Coleman has done a great job for the past 8 years in advancing the Bush economic policy:
1. Tax cuts for the wealthy
What we need now is someone to help the rest of us: the middle class, and small business owners.
That person is NOT Norm Coleman.
Roger Wicker and Ronnie Musgrove only have one thing in common - they kind of look alike.
That's where the resemblance ends.
Roger Wicker has voted 13 times against increasing the minimum wage. Roger Wicker has voted to risk your Social Security money on Wall Street. Yes - that Wall Street. Roger Wicker supports tax cuts for the wealthy, while the middle class suffers.
Roger Wicker represents the failed policies of the Bush administration.
Ronnie Musgrove represents you.
Where in the world is Elizabeth Dole?
Well, she's not in North Carolina. In recent years, she has only spent a few weeks in the state. All the while, she's voting with President Bush 92% of the time. This has resulted in a very low effectiveness ranking.
Elizabeth Dole has been busy in Washington DC representing the failed policies of the Bush administration. We need someone to represent North Carolina.
It's time for a change.
Social Security is supposed to be there for your retirement. Too bad Norm Coleman doesn't think so.
He wants to risk your social security money on Wall Street. That's right, the same Wall Street that has suffered massive losses, and continued instability.
But, Norm Coleman really likes the Bush idea of privatized social security - and is willing to risk YOUR retirement to support Bush's bad ideas.
Norm Coleman - gambling with your future.
Mitch McConnell has created literally thousands of jobs. Or so he would like us to believe.
In reality, he has supported unfair trade deals that penalize American workers. Also, he has supported tax breaks to big corporations that ship our jobs overseas.
If that is not bad enough, it gets worse.
During the time Mitch McConnell was claiming to have created jobs, he was not being completely truthful. He did create jobs - in Mexico, Honduras, and in China.
Good for them. Not so good for Kentucky.
Elizabeth Dole - the silence is deafening.
After 6 years on the Senate banking committee she managed to not ask a single question, about anything!
And now, our economy is in trouble, banks are failing, and the stock market is dropping.
Elizabeth Dole's lack of action on the committee is an appalling level of oversight. Adding to that, she voted against legislation to help people stay in their homes, and has been labeled as ineffective by North Carolina newspapers.
While Dole sat in silence, she did manage to collect donations from Wall Street to the tune of $850,000. Was it all just "hush-money?"
It's time for Dole to leave the Senate, and clear the way for someone who will speak up for North Carolina.
