09/24/10 Desperate Dan Debicella Looks Like A Deer Frozen In The Headlights As He Takes On Greenwich Congressman Jim Himes

Desperate Dan Debicella's for cutting taxes and raising taxes; running up the deficit and paying it down; breaking with the party and voting with them 96% of the time.

First The Pledge, Then The Fib

By Rick Green

Republican Dan Debicella, running for Congress down in Fairfield County against Jim Himes, says he's not going to join the Party of No's lockstep "Pledge to America."

The Pledge is bad enough. But really, Dan, at least be honest with us.

Debicella Remains Independent on GOP "Pledge to America"

Norwalk, CT - Dan Debicella, the Republican nominee for Congress in Fairfield County, today lauded the economic plans in the GOP's "Pledge to America" while saying he would remain independent of any national platform.

"The 'Pledge to America' reiterates the need for urgent action to repair our economy and reclaim our government for the people," said Debicella. "I share agreement on many of its principles but will remain independent of any political party platforms. Unlike Jim Himes, who has voted 95 percent of the time with his party's leaders, I will advocate for policies that are in the best interest of this district's independent-minded voters. I will not rubber stamp any Washington agenda."
