VIDEO Ron Barber Demonizes Doctors As "over Paid." AZ02
Watch Ron Barber blame doctors, or as he puts it "health care providers," for health care costs going up. The media ignored it. He lied when said Medicare isn't going to be slashed by $716 billion. It is. Doctors aren't going to be reimbursed at the current Medicare rates, which are already less than regular patients. Good luck finding a doctor to accept Medicare patients. They won't be able to afford it.
Watch around 8:38 to see him lie about Medicare and say doctors and providers are overpaid. Call him out!
(Don't tell Richard Carmona!)

You Don’t Have to Settle for a Future Crippled by Ron Barber's Government Takeover of Healthcare AZ02
Disappointed Arizona Families Cannot Carry the Increasing Costs of ObamaCare
WASHINGTON --- After two debates, President Obama has yet to provide a vision for the future and continues to blame others for his policies that have buried small businesses with more regulations and taxes. With Ron Barber at his side, families and small business owners can expect his big-government takeover of healthcare to cost more money and take away more choices in the years to come (Roll Call #460, 7/11/2012).
"If Obama and Barber's vision for the future looks anything like the past four years, Arizona families are in for more devastating costs thanks to ObamaCare,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay."This November, Arizona families and job creators are ready to tell Washington Democrats that they simply cannot survive four more years of the Obama-Barber agenda.”
After the second presidential debate, alarms sounded when Obama failed, yet again, to provide the American people with his plan for the next four years:
"’I just want to say one thing we haven't brought up yet but it's incredibly important. The President did not lay out a second term agenda. ... it was absent. He didn't lay out a second term agenda any more than he did in the first debate. And that is where he is the weakest. And he didn't address it, I thought at all,’ [said Mark Halperin]." (MSNBC's "Morning Joe," 10/17/2012)
Regardless of Democrats’ promise to decrease them, healthcare costs increased in 2012 as families anticipate what disastrous effects ObamaCare will have when it’s fully implemented in 2014.

New Report Ron Barber's Healthcare Takeover Has Already Destroyed 30,000 Jobs and Cost $27.6 Billion in Regulations AZ02
ObamaCare Isn’t Even Fully Implemented and It’s Already Devastating the Economy
WASHINGTON --- A new study reveals that the regulations in Ron Barber's government takeover of healthcare have cost almost $28 billion and destroyed 30,000 jobs. ObamaCare is set to go into full implementation in 2014 and this report confirms what American families and small business owners’ fear – that its costs on our economy will only get more severe.
"The burdens of Ron Barber's healthcare overhaul are costing Arizona much-needed jobs and making healthcare more costly for families,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay."With 30,000 jobs already lost and $27.6 billion in costs to job creators, how much worse will ObamaCare’s impact have to get before Barber realizes it’s destroying any chance for economic recovery?”
Ron Barber voted to keep ObamaCare and its job-destroying regulations the law of the land. (Roll Call #460, 7/11/2012)
A new study exposes the heavy burdens ObamaCare has had on our economy, raising questions about how much worse they will be after the law is fully implemented:
"Fully implementing Obamacare regulations have already cost the U.S. economy $27.6 billion and more than 18,000 jobs according to a new study released today. Just the top ten most expensive regulations have cost $24.4 billion, according to the new non-partisan and independent American Action Forum (AAF) report.” (Conn Carroll,"Study: Obamacare regs have cost $27.6 billion, killed 30,000 jobs,” The Washington Examiner, 10/9/2012)

Arizona Middle Class ‘Buried’ Under Ron Barber's Toxic Policies, Define Success as Not Falling Behind. AZ02
Debilitating Uncertainty Has Arizona Workers Fearing Fate of Future Generations
WASHINGTON --- A recent survey highlights how middle class families believe they are"struggling to advance” under President Obama’s failed economy. This comes as no surprise as even Vice President Joe Biden admitted on the campaign trail that Ron Barber's big-government policies have"buried” Arizona families and small business owners in unacceptably high unemployment, leaving them with little faith in the direction of the economy.
"Ron Barber won’t get government out of the way of economic growth and Arizona workers are suffering for it,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay."Arizonans are finished with funding Barber's taxing, spending and borrowing policies that are ruining any opportunity for growing the economy.”
In a new report, middle class families are"struggling to advance” under Washington Democrats’ leadership:
"A majority of Americans now define success as not falling behind. They worry that fundamental changes in the economy are making it more difficult for them—and their children—to get ahead.” (Ronald Brownstein,"Struggling to Advance,” National Journal, 9/28/2012)
Vice President Biden admitted what the American middle class already knew – that his party has"buried” them in economic hardships:
"’This is deadly earnest. How they can justify ... raising taxes on the middle class that has been buried the last four years?’ [said Biden].” (Patricia Zengerle,"Biden: U.S. Middle Class ‘Buried the Last Four Years,’” Reuters, 10/2/2012)

Former Congessman Jim Kolbe Endorses Martha McSally for AZ02
Tucson - Today, former Congressman Jim Kolbe announced his endorsement of Martha McSally.
"I'm enthusiastic about the prospect of Martha McSally representing Arizona's Second District in Congress," said Congerssman Kolbe. "At a time when Congress is so divided, we need someone who understands what it takes to get things done. Martha has that leadership experience; her life has always been about bringing people together to solve complex problems like the ones our nation faces today. She'll do a great job looking after our interests in Congress, and I am proud to endorse her. She deserves the support of all of us."
Kolbe, a Tucson resident, represented Arizona in Congress for 22 years, from 1985 to 2007.
"I am extremely grateful to have the support of such a deeply respected public servant like Jim Kolbe, who represented this district for 22 years," said McSally. "Congressman Kolbe was a fantastic leader in Washington because he was always willing to fight for what was right, and to work with both sides of the aisle to get things done. That is the kind of leadership I want to provide for Southern Arizona in Congress."
Martha McSally is the first female fighter pilot to fly in combat, and first to command a fighter squadron in combat in United States history. In 2001-2002, Martha McSally earned national recognition for successfully overturning a military policy requiring all U.S. servicewomen to wear Muslim clothing when off base in Saudi Arabia.
Stay tuned for more news from Martha's campaign by following her on Twitter (twitter.com/McSallyCongress) and by visiting her facebook (facebook.com/McSallyForCongress) and website (www.marthamcsally.com).

Martha McSally to Newsmax Ron Barber Epitomizes ‘Divisiveness’ in Congress in AZ02
By Todd Beamon and John Bachman
www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/McSally-Arizona-Congress...bBZLZ
Arizona congressional candidate Martha McSally tells Newsmax.TV that Democratic Rep. Ron Barber’s description of the GOP as a"bunch of white guys” epitomizes the divisiveness that has paralyzed Congress.
"He prides himself on being civil and not a politician — and he gets to Washington, D.C., and within a couple of months, he’s coming up with a divisive, name-calling, stereotyping rhetoric that we’re seeing,” McSally says in an exclusive interview."This is not helpful right now and it’s not what the American people are looking for — and it’s certainly not what the people of southern Arizona are looking for.
"He’s immediately become a politician, and he’s just starting with the divisiveness,” she added."This isn’t solving the problems that are facing our country right now. This is not solving our debt. This is not getting our economy going again. It’s not putting people back to work, and it’s just not helpful.”
McSally, a Republican, is a retired Air Force colonel who has flown over Iraq and Afghanistan. She was the first American woman to pilot combat missions.
Barber won a special election in June to complete the term of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who suffered a head wound when a gunman opened fire on her and killed six other people in January 2011.
A Giffords aide, Barber was also shot and wounded in the incident.
In a meeting this week with the editorial board of the Arizona Daily Star, Barber said he is a Democrat because the party fights for the disenfranchised and represents a cross-section of ethnicities and religions, while Republicans are a"bunch of white guys.”
McSally was in the session.
"Honestly, I was very shocked,” she said."I was literally right next to him going, ‘Are you kidding me?’ I’m your Republican opponent — and here I am a woman who is a retired military officer.
"This is exactly the kind of divisiveness that everybody’s frustrated with. So I called him on it right there in the room.”
She believes her military experience will hold her in great stead on Capitol Hill.
"What we need right now is leadership, and what we need right now are people that have more courage, that are going to knuckle down and solve our problems, get things done, bring teams of people together. That’s what you learn how to do in the military, and that’s certainly what the people of my district are looking for.
"It’s about leadership,” she added."It’s about somebody’s who’s got the experience, the education and the guts to be able to solve the problems that are facing us — and my service to my country has trained me for that.”
McSally said she was heartened by the large number of Republican women running for Congress.
"We are better off when we have a fabric of what America represents represented in Congress to serve and fight for the people. What we need are people who are qualified, capable, thoughtful, and who bring leadership — and these other gals and myself, in addition to a number of the men that are running, are going to bring that this year.”

Democrat @RonBarberAZ calls Republicans 'a bunch of white guys.' AZ02
Remember the"War on Women?” Well, where does this fit in?
In yesterday’s Arizona Daily Star, Democrat Congressman Ron Barber was quoted saying that the Republican Party is"essentially a bunch of white guys.” His statement even made it into the headline.
On their face, Mr. Barber’s comments are ironic for obvious reasons, but his words are particularly shameful and insulting given who his Republican opponent is in November.
Barber is running against Martha McSally (AZ-02), a pioneering leader who has shattered the glass ceiling for women in uniform. McSally is the first female fighter pilot to fly in combat, and first to command a fighter squadron in combat in United States history.
If that wasn’t enough, McSally earned national recognition in 2002 for successfully overturning a military policy requiring all U.S. servicewomen to wear a Muslim Abaya and headscarf when off base in Saudi Arabia.
McSally embodies the struggle women have made for generations. She is in a league of her own – a hero not only to women in uniform but any woman who has faced discriminatory barriers in her life or career.
McSally is, no doubt, used to having to listen to ignorant views like Mr. Barber’s over the years. But that doesn’t make Mr. Barber’s comments any less insulting.
McSally is just one of our stellar Republican female candidates running for Congress this year. She and her peers will join an already exceptional group of female members of Congress when they are elected in November.
These women have already demonstrated that Mr. Barber is not only wrong – he’s just plain ignorant.
Mia Love (UT-04): Mia Love served two terms on the city council of Saratoga Springs, one of Utah’s fastest growing cities. As City Councilwoman and eventually Mayor, Mia led the city through a period of 1700% population growth in a decade. Mia is best known for her conservative positions on limited government, increased citizen liberties and limited restraints on business. She believes the best thing she can do as mayor is stay out of the way of business and out of the lives of citizens. She is a wife and mother of 3 children. In her spare time Mia is an avid runner, tread trainer, and accomplished singer and dancer.
Maggie Brooks (NY-25): Maggie Brooks is well-known for her fiscally responsible leadership and commitment to serving the interests of local taxpayers as the first woman to be elected Monroe County Executive. Maggie has worked directly with local employers to help their businesses create over 15,000 jobs, retain over 70,000 jobs, and invest more than $3 billion in the local economy. Maggie has also established a rock solid record on property tax stability and fiscal restraint.
Kim Vann (CA-03): Kim Vann has been a successful businessperson for the past seven years. Prior to returning to the private sector, Vann served as a senior advisor to then-Congressman Doug Ose, protecting Northern California interests in the 2002 Farm Bill, securing funding for infrastructure improvements and challenging bureaucrats who resisted regulatory reform. Her strong beliefs in liberty, personal responsibility, public service and economic freedoms are deeply rooted.
Ann Wagner (MO-02): Ann Wagner has 25 years of work in the private sector, community and public service, and the political arena. At an early age, Ann started working beside her parents and learned the value of a dollar, a strong work ethic, honesty and integrity. After college, Ann went to work in the private sector and held management positions at Hallmark Cards. In 2005, following nomination by President Bush and confirmation by the U.S. Senate, Ann was sworn in as the 19th U.S. Ambassador to Luxembourg by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. She served as U.S. Ambassador for four years.
Susan Brooks (IN-05): Susan Brooks is a former U.S. Attorney and has extensive experience in the public and private sectors. Susan has devoted her career to public service as a lawyer, a local official, a federal prosecutor, and a workforce development leader. In Indiana, Susan has helped develop and implement solutions related to public safety, homeland security and counter-terrorism, and job training and creation. For the last four years, Susan served as Senior Vice President and General Counsel for Ivy Tech Community College. During that time, she led statewide workforce development strategies aimed at improving job training and placement for thousands of Indiana residents. Susan has devoted countless volunteer hours to numerous civic and community efforts to improve the lives of Hoosier children and families.
Jackie Walorski (IN-02): Jackie Walorski started her career as a reporter at WSBT-TV and later worked as a Development Director to raise funds for local colleges and universities. After moving to Romania, Jackie and her husband founded their own agency and local foundation to help provide much-needed medical supplies to the country’s impoverished children. Returning home, Jackie was elected to her first of three terms in the Indiana House of Representatives in 2004. In the State House, Jackie made her mark by leading the fight to cut taxes and eliminate wasteful spending.

Tucson, AZ - The Bureau of Labor Statistics today released their August Jobs Report showing United States employers added just 96,000 jobs with nearly 400,000 Americans giving up their job search. Due to the high number of workers leaving the workforce in August, the unemployment rate dipped to 8.1% from 8.3%.
Martha McSally's comment on the August jobs report and the overall state of the United States Economy:
"It's time to pick principle over politics. It's time to stop the divisive nature of attack first and then work for the people second. And, right now in Washington, politics is taking priority over people and principle. I intend to change that in Congress. It is not acceptable to spend $821 billion of our tax dollars on a wasteful stimulus that has done nothing to stimulate job growth and has only served to stimulate the growth in our national debt and growth in our government. It is not acceptable for Congress to continue to create and perpetuate uncertainty in our economic future, which disincentives businesses from hiring and consumers from spending. We need a new direction. That direction is by unleashing the power of the American entrepreneur through lowering burdensome regulations on small businesses making it easier for our neighbors and friends to open or expand their businesses. And we need to practice a little self restraint in government - we need to stop the borrowing, spending and waste coming out of Washington. Only then will we see job growth and only then will the workers of America get back to work. And I promise the people of Southern Arizona, that I will not stop until we make meaningful reforms to get you working and growing again."

Majority of Americans Think Medicare is"Very Important” Issue, But @RonBarberAZ Cut It Anyway AZ02
Arizona Dem Took Over $700 Billion from Medicare to Pay for ObamaCare
WASHINGTON --- In a recent poll, an overwhelming majority of Americans – 73 percent – said Medicare is ‘very important’ or ‘extremely important’ when they are choosing who to vote for. This isn’t welcomed news for Ron Barber, who voted to gut Medicare for current and future seniors to fund his big-government takeover of healthcare.
"Ron Barber has already proven his unwillingness to protect Medicare for current seniors, so Arizona seniors aren’t going to protect him,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay."This poll is further proof that Barber's choice to cut over $700 billion from Medicare for current seniors was the breaking point for many Arizona families and seniors.”
Washington Democrats’ massive Medicare cuts have put them in an unpopular position:
"The nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation said on Thursday that 73 percent of respondents polled in the days around the announcement described Medicare as ‘very important’ or ‘extremely important’ to their votes.” (David Morgan,"U.S. voters see Medicare as a top election issue: poll,” Reuters, 8/16/2012)

If @RonBarberAZ Has His Way, Medicare Will Be Broke in 12 Years AZ02
Arizona Dem Chooses Politically Toxic ObamaCare Over Protecting Seniors’ Medicare
WASHINGTON --- Roughly 50 million American seniors rely on Medicare to provide them with health coverage that they may not be able to afford otherwise. However, Ron Barber is willing to jeopardize seniors’ access to coverage by gutting $741 billion from Medicare in order to fund his big-government healthcare takeover.
"Democrats’ slashing of Medicare was a major factor that led to their historic losses in the House in 2010, and that was when their cuts to the program were projected at $500 billion,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay."Now that the Medicare cuts are estimated at a devastating $741 billion, there is very little chance that Arizona seniors are going to continue to risk their healthcare on Ron Barber's government healthcare experiment for another two years.”
The latest CBO estimate for ObamaCare’s Medicare cuts are $741 billion – $240 billion more than they first estimated. (“Estimates for the Insurance Coverage Provisions of the Affordable Care Act Updated for the Recent Supreme Court Decision,” Congressional Budget Office, July 2012)
Medicare will go bankrupt by 2024, in merely 12 years. (Anjeanette Damon,"Beyond attacks, Heller and Berkley differ fundamentally on approach to Medicare,” Las Vegas Sun, 8/2/2012)
Democrat Whip Steny Hoyer conceded that it was ObamaCare that cost them the House majority in the 2010 midterm elections:
"’It was clearly a liability in the last election in terms of the public’s fear,’ House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Thursday during a briefing with reporters.” (Aaron Blake, "Study Shows Health Care Bill May Have Cost Democrats the House," The Washington Post, 3/9/2k012)

Obama-Barber Economy ‘Worked’ for Big Government But Left Small Businesses to Carry the Load in AZ02
Barber Expects Small Businesses to Finance His Limitless Spending Addiction
WASHINGTON --- At a campaign event this week, President Obama claimed his party’s big-government ‘plan’ has ‘worked.’ However, the only thing that the Obama-Barber economic approach has succeeded in doing is straddling small businesses with regulations, crippling taxes and the threat of more.
"“It’s baffling that Obama is bragging about how his policies ‘worked’ when so many families and small businesses continue to struggle,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay."At the end of the day, the tax hikes and burdensome regulations that President Obama and Ron Barber champion are rippling through Arizona, leaving small business owners with little opportunity to get the economy back on track.”
Earlier this week, President Obama said at a campaign function that his big-government, job-crushing policies have worked:
"Just like we’ve tried their plan, we tried our plan -- and it worked. That’s the difference.” (“Remarks by the President at a Campaign Event,” The White House, 7/24/2012)
Coming from someone who thinks small businesses are ‘doing fine,’ it’s not so hard to believe Obama said that:
"President Barack Obama offered up a gift to Republicans Friday morning, declaring ‘the private sector is doing fine,’ at a White House press conference.” (Zeke Miller,"Obama: ‘The Private Sector is Doing Fine,” BuzzFeed, 6/8/2012)
But according to a new Gallup poll, a majority of small business owners disagree and do not approve of President Obama’s handling of the economy:
"U.S. business owners' approval of President Barack Obama fell in the second quarter of 2012 to 35%, essentially tying farmers and fishers for the lowest approval among major occupational groups.” (Lymari Morales,"U.S. Business Owners Now Among Least Approving of Obama,” Gallup, 7/26/2012)
