| Description | WASHINGTON — It’s March, and Nevada’s Senate race is already jumping the shark with attempts at political one-upsmanship — and you have Rush Limbaugh to thank.
And Rep. Shelley Berkley.
This week, the Democratic front-runner for U.S. Senate has used the conservative radio king’s recent tirade against Sandra Fluke , the law student and women’s activist who was barred from testifying about birth control coverage with an all-male panel before a House committee last month — to paint her Republican opponent, Sen. Dean Heller, into a corner.
“He uses his appointed seat in the Senate to push Rush Limbaugh’s agenda,” Berkley said of Heller. “Heller’s actions are much worse (than Rush’s words).”
Heller voted with most Republicans last week to repeal a part of the new health care law that requires religious institutions to offer coverage for birth control, though the institutions would not be required to pay for it directly. |
