Maness Attacking Cassidy Over Landrieu, Still No RPEC Endorsements

Col. Rob Maness, the Madisonville conservative who is eyeing Sen. Mary Landrieu’s (D-LA) senate seat, has been attacking Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), the likely Republican challenger, more than Landrieu ever since Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) was ousted from his House Majority Leadership role thanks to newcomer Dave Brat.

Analysis from sources of the political press releases by the Maness campaign show that since the beginning of June, Maness has attacked Cassidy eight times, while only attacking Landrieu twice.

Maness has been portraying Cassidy as a “Cantor clone” on immigration reform and policy, saying that the two are “two peas in a pod.” Then again, later in the month, Maness said Cassidy was a “carbon copy of Cantor” when it came to immigration.

Again, Maness pulled out an attack on Cassidy on amnesty just a few days ago saying:

“Congressman Cassidy deliberately mischaracterizes amnesty in order to avert attention from his liberal stance on immigration, and that should concern all those looking for an alternative to Senator Landrieu because she supports the same thing,” Maness said.  “Amnesty is giving citizenship to those who broke our laws to enter our country.  Louisianans understand that, and I will always oppose amnesty.”

While pitting Cassidy as a copycat of Landrieu on immigration issues, Maness never actually exclusively attacked Landrieu alone in June. This trend was quite similar last month, with Maness attacking Cassidy three times and Landrieu twice.

In May, Maness attacked Cassidy on the Veterans Affairs scandal, saying “Bill Cassidy has only condemned the failures and said we should ‘clean this mess up.’ But he has failed to offer real solutions.” Though, in that same attack, Maness said Landrieu had not even acknowledged the scandal.

What is interesting, is that the attacks by Maness on Cassidy clearly are not impressing the Republican Parish Executive Committees (RPEC) across the state. Jefferson Parish, St. Tammany Parish and Rapides Parish RPEC’s have all endorsed Cassidy, which comes as a blow to Maness considering many of the committee members are conservative/libertarian, Tea Party grassroots-types.

Here’s the analysis in full from sources close to the Hayride:

Senate Conservatives Fund sends email alert about the Maness for Senate campaign

“The Republican establishment has recruited moderate Congressman Bill Cassidy (R-LA). Unfortunately, Cassidy has a dismal 63% conservative rating from Heritage Action for America and has supported a number of liberal policies during his time in Congress.

In fact, Cassidy voted to …

  • Fund the implementation of Obamacare this year
  • Increase the debt limit by $2.4 trillion
  • Create the “Cash for Clunkers” program
  • Force taxpayers to bail out the federal highway program
  • Expand corporate welfare through the Export-Import Bank
  • Increase the Trade Adjustment Assistance welfare program
  • Give farm subsidies to people with incomes over $250,000 per year

The Second Amendment Doesn’t Need to be Fixed

if Bill Cassidy has his way, you go to prison. That’s right. You’re a straw purchaser – you bought the gun for someone else. And under legislation he said he would support, you would have committed a felony and exposed yourself to imprisonment.”

“And Bill Cassidy, Mary Landrieu and President Obama think the most important thing they can do for us in Washington is to make it illegal for you to buy a gun for someone else, even your own child.”

“I believe politicians like Bill Cassidy and Mary Landrieu go to Washington with good intentions. Then, they see how the game is played – never let a crisis go to waste, always have some new magic proposal ready to solve every problem, compromise is king…”

“But that is not the core issue with Cassidy’s two-pronged idea.  The core issues are, do we want to have people’s guns taken away because they see a doctor and when are we going to focus on the criminals (the ones that actually do the law-breaking) instead of law-abiding citizens?”

“No, what Obama, Landrieu and Cassidy want is yet another list of the law-abiding.”

“I don’t need liberals or compromisers like Bill Cassidy to make these decisions for me.”

Bill Cassidy, Against Obamacare before he was for it

Maness Praises Rep. Fleming and Scalise for Voting Against the Farm/Food Stamp Leviathan

“I am disappointed, but not surprised, that Bill Cassidy voted in favor of the nearly trillion dollar legislation. Louisianans don’t want a federal government that controls more of their lives and takes up more of their hard earned money, and they deserve a Senator who shares that philosophy.”

http://robmaness.com/articles/maness-praises-rep-fleming-and-scalise-for-voting-against-the-farm-food-stamp-leviathan

June 28, 2013

Deadline: July 30th

“He is for making lists of law-abiding gun owners and forbidding friends and family members from selling or giving guns to each other. So is she. She is for expanding government control over health care. So is he. She supports the food stamp-laden Farm Bill and so does he.”

“Whatever the issue – bailouts, raising the debt limit, taxes, jobs, flood insurance, the environment – Big Government Bill Cassidy would rather stand with Mary Landrieu and the Washington establishment than with you. He has no fire in the belly. He doesn’t want to do anything in the Senate; he just wants to be something – a senator.   But chasing a title isn’t  enough to beat Mary Landrieu. Cassidy can’t be trusted to build the sophisticated, forward-looking statewide campaign it’s going to take to defeat Landrieu.”

If we leave it up to Bill Cassidy, we get the top-down, Washington-knows-best “solutions” that have created our current mess.  We get more of the same. We get a vote that almost always will be indistinguishable from that of Mary Landrieu.”

“With Rob Maness, we will get a vote to stand up for working people, to devolve power over health care, transportation and other issues back where they belong – the state level. We will get a vote for the Second Amendment and fiscal reform and a simpler tax code and real reform – as opposed to the gimmicks proposed by Cassidy and Landrieu – to deal with flood insurance.”

Cassidy on Obamacare funding:  Will he or won’t he?

“Bill Cassidy clearly doesn’t understand the enormous cost of Obamacare or the threat it poses not only to American workers and families but to the economy as a whole.  In times like these, we need leaders, not politicians.  He’s either for Obamacare or he’s against it, and if he’s against it, he shouldn’t vote to fund it.

“Can’t Commit Cassidy” at it Again

“According to an article in the Baton Rouge Advocate, Cassidy said he has “been a leader” on the issue.  While it’s true that Cassidy has voted dozens of times to repeal Obamacare, his refusal to commit to defunding the broad-ranging healthcare “reform” lauded by Nancy Pelosi and her ilk is hardly leadership.  In fact, Cassidy voted to fund Obamacare in Sept. 2012 (HJ Res 117, Sept. 30, 2012), and stood at a ribbon-cutting in his district for a clinic funded through the bill.”

“As a physician, Cassidy should know better than anyone what Obamacare will do – not only to healthcare but to our economy,” Maness said.  “Just like Mary Landrieu calls herself pro-life but votes with pro-abortion PACs, Bill Cassidy says he’s against Obamacare but wouldn’t vote to defund it.  You can’t have it both ways.”

“Mary Landrieu was the deciding vote on Obamacare through the Senate but Mr. Bill Cassidy, who calls himself a Republican, authored an almost identical piece of legislation on the Louisiana State Senate.

Maness to Conservatives:  Stand your ground on Obamacare

“We have all been lied to by lip-service Republicans who espouse conservative principles but go to Washington and cater to the middle or, worse, to the liberal agenda.  They are no more conservative than our incumbent senator, Mary Landrieu, who cast the deciding vote that implemented Obamacare in the first place.  Louisiana Congressman Bill Cassidy now denounces Obamacare, but authored a bill that would’ve created a similar program in Louisiana only six years ago.  Thankfully the true conservatives in Baton Rouge – even including some Democrats – shot that down at the state level.”

Dear Rep. Seabaugh: Thanks!

Clearly, Bill Cassidy doesn’t connect with Louisiana conservatives. He has followed the unpopular establishment leadership on every single continuing resolution and every single increase of the debt ceiling. His vote to support Hate Crime legislation has alienated the all important christian right. Incredibly, it was recently reported that Cassidy donated $500 to Landrieu in 2002; a year in which Landrieu was forced into a runoff before retaining her seat with a victory over former Elections Commissioner Suzie Haik Terrell.

“Seabaugh’s announcement came on the same day that a major national news organization revealed a long lost op-ed by Bill Cassidy openly criticizing Ronald Reagan and calling for the election of Michael Dukakis as President. Cassidy has not only voted parallel to Mary Landrieu repeatedly, but donated to her campaign, opposed Gov. Bobby Jindal, and in 2012 supported a liberal California Democrat in his successful effort to unseat a sitting Republican.”

The poll also showed high favorability for Maness, with 41.6 percent having a “very” or “somewhat favorable” opinion of him.  Landrieu’s favorability was at 49.1 percent, and Cassidy’s barely topped 50 percent.  Only 39.1 percent said Cassidy is doing a good job and 46.3 percent said Landrieu is performing well.

GOP Establishment Highlights The Problem of Washington Insiders

Oddly enough, the same NRSC has remained silent about Congressman Bill Cassidy in Louisiana, who definitively flip-flopped on that issue and has flip-flopped on others as well.  Despite that — or maybe because of it — Cassidy enjoys the backing of Washington insiders. “Bill Cassidy flip-flopped on the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), but the NRSC has nothing to say about that,” said U.S. Senate candidate Col. Rob Maness (USAF, Ret.; R-LA).  “Bill Cassidy says he opposes Obamacare but he not only proposed parallel legislation in the Louisiana legislature, but refuses to sign a pledge to defund Obama’s disastrous version of the law.”

“Bill Cassidy refuses to say whether or not he would support McConnell.  Perhaps that’s because Bill Cassidy spends most of his time in Washington and is disconnected from the people of Louisiana,” Maness said.

“Congressman Cassidy was for TARP before he was against it and was for CassidyCare before he was against Obamacare — (but not before he repeatedly voted to fund Obamacare while he claimed to be against it),” Maness explained. “This is the same Congressman Cassidy who supported Mary Landrieu before he ran against her, who supported Kathleen Blanco over Gov. Jindal, and who supported Michael Dukakis and excoriated Ronald Reagan before claiming the mantle of conservatism.”

Col. Rob Maness on Obama VA Scandal: Criminal Charges Needed Where Laws Broken

In fact, Cassidy has donated thousands of dollars to incumbent Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), which will make it tough to run against her in a general election, and Democrat Kathleen Blanco. Cassidy mocked Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Ronald Reagan in the past and openly supported Michael Dukakis. In addition, he campaigned for TARP and now claims he opposes it, which will make it even more difficult for voters in Louisiana to differentiate Cassidy from Landrieu. “He voted to raise the debt ceiling, was one of 19 Republicans to vote for President Obama’s hate crimes legislation, campaigned in support of the government bailout (but now opposes it), voted for Obamacare Medicare savings (but now opposes them),” Palin wrote of Cassidy. “Come on, GOP, is this the best we can do? I say no. Let’s come together and unite behind conservative warrior Col. Rob Maness – a proven fighter for freedom.”

His time pressing the flesh in Washington has paid off!” As a congratulatory gift on the endorsement of Cassidy’s hometown Maness sent Cassidy a Washington Redskins hat with a note, “Bill – congrats on becoming DC’s official candidate.

Landrieu and Cassidy Support Pathway to Citizenship for Illegal Immigrants

“Sen.

This interview stands in stark opposition to comments made by Cassidy spokesman, John Cummins, who said Congressman Cassidy opposed amnesty.

“Congressman Cassidy should level with the people of Louisiana,” Maness said.  “He, Eric Cantor, and other establishment Republicans in Washington support amnesty for illegal aliens.”
