NRCC Releases Latest “Corrupt Democrat” Video: “The Bonus Bunch”

October 17, 2012

The Story of Four Politicians Who Thought They Could Do And Spend Whatever They Wanted

Washington — Today, the National Republican Congressional Committee released its newest Corrupt Democrats video featuring former Representatives Ann Kirkpatrick (AZ-01), Carol Shea Porter (NH-01), Dan Maffei (NY-24) and Charlie Wilson (OH-06) for their over-the-top spending abuse. Even after being booted out of office by voters, these Democrats splurged — spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on salary increases and bonuses to their staffs.

“Voters have had enough of over the top spending sprees from House Democrats that have increased taxes and driven the economy deeper into debt ,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay. “When will these corrupt Democrats realize that their days of treating taxpayer dollars like Monopoly money are up?”

The script for this ad is as follows:

ANNOUNCER: From personal favors to cover ups, backroom deals to special trips. These are the 10 most corrupt Dems of 2012.

This week’s Corrupt Democrats: The Bonus Bunch.

It’s the story of four politicians who thought they could do whatever they wanted.

They gave us ObamaCare. The stimulus. Trillions in new debt.

And what happened?

Voters kicked them out.

But even that wasn’t enough to curb their spending addiction.

Even after being booted out of office by voters, these Democrats splurged — spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on salary increases and bonuses to their staffs.

Charlie Wilson spent $119,000.

Despite losing the election, Carol Shea Porter paid two staffers over $11,000 for two days of work.

Dan Maffei paid out almost $200,000.

And last but not least, Ann Kirkpatrick burned through an astonishing $105,000 on employee salaries in the last 48 hours in office.

They wasted your money.  Now they all want their jobs back!

It’s time to tell this corrupt bunch once and for all – don’t let the door hit you on the way out!
