Code Red Launches TV Ad Against Markey

Betsy Markey Flip-Flopped for Obamacare, Now She Will Pay the Price

Washington– The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has begun the next phase of its Code Red offensive, launching TV ads targeting Betsy Markey (D-CO) for her help in ramming an unpopular and politically toxic healthcare bill through Congress. Markey voted ‘NO’ when the House first voted on a government healthcare takeover in November 2009. Then, after the Democrats’ shady backroom deals and heavy arm-twisting, Markey turned her back on the American people and caved to immense pressure from President Obama and Speaker Pelosi. Rather than listening to her constituents at home, Betsy Markey listened to her party bosses in Washington and fell for the Democrats’ big-spending ways by ultimately casting a deciding ‘YES’ vote for Obamacare.

“Betsy Markey put party loyalty ahead of making the right decision when she flip-flopped on Obamacare and delivered one of the decisive votes in favor of her party’s healthcare takeover,” said NRCC Communications Director Ken Spain. “By rubber-stamping hundreds of billions of dollars in unprecedented government spending, massive tax increases, and Medicare cuts, Betsy Markey has put her job on the line. Spring may be here but, unfortunately for Markey, flip-flops don’t seem to be in style this year.”
