Which Rob Andrews Will Show Up In Trenton Tonight - Candidate Rob or Congressman Rob?
101.5 Debate Last Night Saw Andrews Disown His Own 18 Year Record in Washington

In his first primary debate last night, Senate candidate Rob Andrews ran away from Rep. Rob Andrews' 18 year record of voting against the interests of New Jersey families.

Andrews said he opposes the war in Iraq - but failed to mention that he bragged about working with Bush and co-authoring the resolution getting us in. [Congressman Rob Andrews Press Release, September 29, 2002, Op-Ed Submitted to the Gloucester County Times]

Andrews said he supports a timetable for troop withdrawal from Iraq - but failed to mention that he voted three times again withdrawing the troops. [HR 1815, Woolsey amendment, Vote #220, 5/25/05; HR 2601, Ros-Lehtinen amendment, Vote #397, 7/20/01; HRes 612, Vote #648, 12/16/05]

Andrews said he supported a short-term energy policy to alleviate the suffering Americans are facing at the gas pump - but failed to mention that he once said: "I think the best short-term energy policy is to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq." [Fox News Channel, April, 2002]

Andrews said he opposes a border fence with Mexico - but failed to mention that he voted with the Republicans to fund it. [HR 6061, Vote #446, 9/14/06; CQ Today, 9/13/06]

Andrews said he supports repealing the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans - but failed to mention that he voted to provide a $185 billion tax break to multi-millionaires. [HR 8, Vote #84, 4/04/01; Dallas Morning News, 4/5/01]

Andrews said he supports improving the quality of life for New Jersey's children - but failed to mention that he voted to cut the school lunch program for the neediest kids. [HR 4, Vote #269, 3/24/95; CNN, 3/24/95]

"Rob Andrews' campaign rhetoric has never matched Rob Andrews' congressional record. Time and again, when he had a choice to stand up for New Jersey, he chose to stand with the Republicans on issue after issue. His words on the campaign trail have never matched his deeds in Washington," said Lautenberg spokeswoman Julie Roginsky.
