HARRISBURG – Republican Party of Pennsylvania Spokesman Mike Barley released the following statement regarding news that U.S. Senator Bob Casey supported Harry Reid for U.S. Senate Majority Leader.
 
“Tone deaf doesn’t even begin to describe Senator Casey’s vote for Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader,” Barley said.  “Just two weeks ago, Pennsylvanians sent a clear message to Washington, D.C. that they were tired of the wasteful spending and big government policies of President Barack Obama, Senator Harry Reid and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.  I guess Bob Casey didn’t get that message! 

“Bob Casey’s priorities are to vote in lockstep with extreme liberal leaders like President Obama, Harry Reid and other D.C. Democrats.
 
“If we want to repeal ObamaCare, stop the excessive spending and implement real change in Washington, D.C., we must get rid of Senator Casey and the strip away his ability to support the same old tired big government agenda.”
 
“On the campaign trail, Bob Casey was fond of saying that when two people vote nearly 100% of the time the same way, one is not necessary.  Mr. Casey, we feel your leadership is not necessary and we are thankful that Pennsylvania will have the opportunity to elect a new U.S. Senator soon!”
