Club for Growth PAC Releases New Instructional Video: “How To Tell That Mike Simpson Is A R.I.N.O”

Washington, DC – Today, the Club for Growth PAC released a new web video explaining how to tell that liberal Republican Congressman Mike Simpson is a Republican in Name Only. The video highlights several of Mike Simpson’s more liberal statements, including his ludicrous assertion that the $700 billion bailout of Wall Street was constitutional and his contention that “You don’t want to eliminate the EPA,” a position that puts him far outside the mainstream with Idaho voters who have been hammered by that agency under President Obama:

“Mike Simpson is a Republican In Name Only with a voting record that’s out of step with Idaho Republicans and the rest of the Republican party,” said Club for Growth President Chris Chocola. “He’s the only Idaho Republican serving today that voted for the Wall Street bailout, big-spending appropriations bills signed into law by President Obama and the only one to vote to raise the debt limit without one dollar of spending cuts attached. Mike Simpson’s days in Congress are numbered because his liberal record is catching up to him, and Idaho voters are going to hold him accountable.” 

“It’s easy to tell that Mike Simpson is a RINO. He’s a big-spending, tax-increasing, government-run-health-care-supporting, bailout-backing, school-choice-opposing, liberal who is the poster child for term limits. We hope this video will help those that have not studied his record as closely,” added Chocola.
