WELDAY CALLS GARY PETERS “MODERATE” LABEL A SHAM

Challenger Calls Peters a Liberal Enabler with a Leftist Voting Record on Key Issues

Oakland County businessman and GOP congressional candidate in Michigan’s Ninth District, Paul Welday, today blasted his Democrat opponent, U.S. Rep. Gary Peters for misleading voters by claiming to be a moderate when a detailed review of his voting record and issue stands demonstrates otherwise.

In a press release issued by Congressman Peter’s official office1, he proudly proclaims that he is a so-called “moderate” based on rankings from the publication National Journal which were released on Friday.  According to the National Journal rankings2, Peters is pegged as being 57.3% liberal in his voting record.

“Once again Gary Peters is using his congressional office to promote his political agenda and pull the wool over the eyes of Ninth District voters,” said Welday.  “When you look at his voting record on the issues that matter to people of Oakland County, Gary Peters is no moderate.  According to the “Inside Michigan Politics” (Feb. 8, 2010) newsletter, Peters has voted with Speaker Nancy Pelosi more than 96 percent of the time and that makes him a tried-and-true liberal in my book.”

“On the issues that matter to the voters of the Ninth District, Gary Peters has been a solid yes vote for Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat leadership.  On the most important issues the record indicates Peters voted:
  • $862 billion Stimulus Spending  (HR 1) - YES
  • Deficit Spending Budget Resolution (HConRes 85) – YES
  • Cap-and-Trade legislation (HR 2454) – YES
  • PelosiCare Health Care legislation (HR 3962) – YES
And, of course, the rankings don’t even take into consideration his support for big Labor’s favorite legislation, Card Check, his vote to make Nancy Pelosi House Speaker or Committee Chairman of Barney Frank, Henry Waxman and the ethically-challenged Charlie Rangel.  Yes, he did vote no on raising the debt limit, but only after he had voted time and again to spend us further into debt.  The height of hypocrisy.” Welday continued.

“Any way you cut it, Gary Peters has been a lap-dog Democrat for the big government, budget busting, liberal agenda of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her cronies in Washington.  He is part-and-parcel of the problem in Washington and he insults the voters by attempting to portray himself as something he is not.  The voters have seen threw his charade and that is why he will be a one-term congressman come November.” Welday concluded.
