ICYMI: House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy On Fox News' “America's Newsroom” & “On the Record”

Fox News’ "America’s Newsroom"

 

On The Bipartisan Support For Middle Class Tax Relief & Job Creation Act:

"Well, yesterday we passed a bipartisan bill that made sure everyone who is working would not get a tax increase, put accountability into unemployment insurance. We fixed a cut of 27 percent to doctors when it came to Medicare to make sure the health care providers are still there. We also put in Keystone, a pipeline for job creation that they have to make a decision, not just one way or another."

 

On Leader Reid’s Obstructionism And The Need For Senate Action:

"What Leader Reid is doing is playing politics with this. He’s saying ‘dead on arrival,’ not allowing people to vote on it. You have a number of members on both sides of the aisle that want to vote on it. This is the same tactics he used with more than 25 job creation bills the House passed in a bipartisan manner that are sitting on the Senate."

 

"There are things in there the President asked for, things in there the Republicans asked for. The House passed it on a bipartisan vote and now sent it to the Senate. So, everything hinges on Senate Democrats."   

 

On the Keystone Pipeline Provision And Job Creation:

"The number one issue in America today is jobs. Because the President refuses to make a decision and waits until after the election, 61 people were laid off yesterday in Arkansas. It is going to happen more. We're not saying you have to say yes to Keystone. What we're saying is, here's job creation, make a decision. Don't postpone it. Just like the President says, America can't wait. If we don't do this pipeline, what will Canada do? Canada will sell the oil to China. The price for oil will go up in America like we see time and time again. If we get an energy source that is at lower cost, our economy can work. If we create jobs here that can start right now, people will be back to work instead of being laid off."

 

"The President has looked at the pipeline and said, ‘no decision until after the election.’ Well you know what? Stop playing politics. What we're saying is, make a decision. The process is there. The protections are there where you have all the reviews. One way or another –

 

America can't wait for job creation. We can't sit back and continue to have people laid off. We've got to have this country moving again. If Senator Reid wants to continue to play politics he will put a tax increase on every working American, and we think that's wrong."

On Senate Democrats Holding Back Tax Relief For The Middle Class:

"We just took a vote that was bipartisan, Democrats voted for this bill as well.  It takes things the President asks for, it takes things Republicans ask for and low and behold that’s how the founders created the government. Now nothing ever moves in the Senate, it is sitting on the Senate Democrats’ lap. The only thing that is holding America back from tax relief for the middle class is the Senate Democrats."

 

On Inclusion Of The Keystone Pipeline For Job Creation:

"Here’s a president that campaigns around the country saying ‘we can’t wait’, and then says I can’t make a decision.  This is a pipeline that comes from Canada and goes all the way down to Louisiana, supplying energy, and lowers our energy costs. You know what Canada says? If we don’t make the decision they will sell it to China, this will create more than 100,000 jobs."

New “Declaration of Independents” Premium!

By the LPCA Office

The Libertarian Party of California is pleased to add an exciting new book, The Declaration of Independents, to its list of thank-you premiums. It’s an awesome volume, sure to guide you to a more libertarian future.

Reason.tv editor Nick Gillespie and Reason magazine editor Matt Welch offer exciting evidence that U.S. voters are primed to demand libertarian choices in politics. Already, we in the U.S. enjoy custom-designed, personalized, and highly adapted services and devices that help us do all that we do, and this culture of individual personal choice now challenges our longstanding 18th-century political duopoly that’s strangling liberty and progress.

The Declaration of Independents is an entertaining manifesto about government that’s better suited to our future. Notably, the authors show that we today are living in “the libertarian moment.” Gillespie and Welch profile libertarian innovators, identify the villains propping up the ancient regime, and target those do-something-anything government policies that hurt those they claim to protect. Their vision will resonate with a wide swath of frustrated citizens and young voters, born after the Cold War, to whom lingering, outdated cultural prejudices and hang-ups about everything — from hearing a foreign language on the street to gay marriage to drug use — don’t make sense.

Nick Gillespie writes often for the Wall Street Journal and New York Times, and is a regular guest on Fox News. Matt Welch, author of McCain: The Myth of a Maverick, is a frequent contributor to the Los Angeles Times (where he used to work), the New York Post, Bloggingheads.tv, and talk radio around the country.”

We’ll mail a copy of this sparkling new book as our thank-you when you donate $50 to the Libertarian Party of California ($75 if you want to include annual membership) by clicking here.
