Blago-enabler news: Rep. Debbie Halvorson singled out by NRCC

The National Republican Congressional Committee sent out a press release regarding many new Democratic members of Congress. And among the new members of the House of Representatives the NRCC focuses on is Rep. Debbie Halvorson (D-IL).

Before being sworn in on Tuesday, Halvorson was Illinois State Senate Majority Leader. She worked at the side of her fellow Rod Blagojevich-enabler Emil Jones, Jr., the body's president.

Here's The Hill's take on the NRCC release:

"Debbie Halvorson was happy to help Nancy Pelosi cement her grip on power so that members of Congress like Charlie Rangel and Barney Frank can forever wreak havoc on our financial system with their grossly negligent behavior," NRCC Spokesman Ken Spain, said in a release targeting the newly-elected Illinois congresswoman, emblematic of language in releases aiming at 53 other Republican targets.

Spain added: "While middle-class families are struggling in the face of an economic crisis, Debbie Halvorson, on the same day she was sworn-in to office, ignored calls for relief from her constituents and instead voted to make it easier for her fellow Democrats to raise taxes."

The NRCC cryptically promised that the lawmakers' rules vote today "will not be welcomed" by voters come 2010.
