WASHINGTON – Citing lopsided polling results that show voters no longer believe the GOP is the party of limited government and lower spending, the Club for Growth today called on all Senate Republicans to stand firm and support Senators Tom Coburn and Jim DeMint in their efforts to remove the wasteful pork from the remaining FY 2007 spending bills that are due to hit the Senate floor with a massive thud next week.
“On Election Day, the voters held an intervention with the GOP on its self-destructive spending habit. Now it’s time to go cold turkey. Any Republican who votes for more pork and more wasteful spending as a final gesture before the party goes into the minority is either lost, in denial, or both,” said Pat Toomey, President of the Club for Growth.
“We are now at a crucial fork in the road. It’s time for the GOP to return to the path of fiscal restraint, rather than go down the path of ever-expanding government. Senators Tom Coburn and Jim DeMint are doing the right thing both for taxpayers and for any hope of restoring the GOP’s core principle of fighting for limited government,” said Toomey.
