Connie Mack Attacks Bill Nelson and his 'Liberal Record'

As he readies to enter the race to take on Democrat incumbent U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, Florida Republican U.S. Rep. Connie Mack called Nelson out on Friday in an open letter.

Yesterday in an interview you said you have a lot of work to do," wrote Mack. You couldnt be more right. You do indeed have a lot of work to do to explain to the people of Florida why you have turned your back on them time after time and instead stood in lockstep support with President Obamas failed liberal schemes.

I look forward to the coming campaign against you as you try to explain your strong support for the stimulus, the TARP, Obamacare, raising the debt ceiling, and countless other liberal programs that have left Florida and the nation in the most precarious economic position in generations, added Mack. Senator Nelson, theres no question you have a lot of work to do to overcome the fact that you are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Florida is great state. America is a great nation. Both deserve real leadership in Washington, not a lockstep liberal senator who is one of President Obamas closest friends and allies," Mack concluded. I wish you well as you work to explain your astonishingly liberal record to the people of Florida.
