LITTLE: IS PALLONE LIVING ON THE PLANET OF OPPOSITES?

(HIGHLANDS, October 12) – Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little – responding to a statement by her opponent, 22-year incumbent Frank Pallone, on NJN’s “On the Record” that “there have been more tax cuts … in this Congress than in any other Congress” – today asked Pallone if he is living on The Planet of Opposites, where night is day, down is up, Barack Obama is Ronald Reagan, and a tax hike is a tax cut.
 
“Is Frank Pallone living on the Planet Earth, or on The Planet of Opposites?
 
“On NJN’s ‘On the Record’ broadcast over the weekend, Frank Pallone said the 111th Congress has passed ‘more tax cuts … than in any other Congress’ – a statement which, I’m sure, had all the taxpayers running to their mailboxes to see where was their missing tax cut, the one they never received,” said Little.
 
“Seriously, here’s his exact quote: ‘I mean, there’s been more tax cuts and efforts to try to, uh, uh, help businesses through tax credits or tax cuts in this Congress than in any other Congress.’
 
“‘More tax cuts … than in any other Congress?’
 
“Can he be serious? Does he believe we have forgotten the vote he cast a week and a half ago, to adjourn the Congress and flee Washington before casting a vote that could help prevent the biggest tax HIKE in American history? He cast the DECIDING VOTE on that one, and in doing so, failed to block a massive tax hike scheduled to kick in on New Year’s Day.
 
“Or could it be that he thinks we have forgotten the 20 new or higher taxes in the healthcare bill he still proudly insists is ‘Not Obama’s bill … not Pelosi’s bill. It’s MY bill?’ Higher taxes on working families that will total over $500 billion – to go with the $500 billion in Medicare cuts he voted for?
 
“Only on The Planet of Opposites does what Frank Pallone said about this Congress and tax cuts make sense. Unfortunately for him, his constituents still have their feet planted firmly right here on Planet Earth, and in 22 days they’re going to be sending him into retirement – whether here on Earth, or there on The Planet of Opposites, will be his choice,” continued Little.
 
“Remember, you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!”
