ADAM HASNER

Adam Hasner was an early and vocal supporter of the Ryan Plan, which would make deep cuts to Medicare and Social Security. Hasner praised the Ryan Plan as bold, and referred to himself as a steadfast supporter. In fact, his only objection was that the Ryan Plan did not go far enough. Hasner frequently castigated his fellow Republicans for not endorsing the Plan or failing to defend it in the face of criticism. Further, Hasner has been called the undisputable king of partisan warfare, and spent his time in the State House pushing an extremely conservative agenda. He has called himself a Tea Party Radical and constantly exhorted Republicans to pursue hardline policies at any cost. Finally, Hasner has allied himself with conspiratorial, anti-Muslim fringe activists. He is friends with Pamela Geller, a blogger who routinely warns about creeping Sharia and believes President Obama was born in Kenya. Hasner is also close with Geert Wilders, the Dutch politician who has sought to ban Islam from The Netherlands. Hasner himself questioned the loyalties of American Muslims and framed the battle with Islam in apocalyptic terms.

Paul Ryans budget plan. Right now, we need more Republicans who are not only prepared to take on Democrats but take on Republicans when they stray, the website quotes Hasner as saying. I dont blame just Democrats for the problems we face today. I think Republican share in blame. Thats why we need leaders in Washington who will have courage to challenge both Democrats and Republicans. [Newsmax, 4/26/11]

[Adam Hasner, Adam Hasner Stands With Paul Ryan, Accessed 3/2/12] May 2011: Hasner Said He Was Steadfast In His Support Of The Ryan Plan; His Only Complaint Was That It Does Not Go Far Enough, Fast Enough. According to the Sunshine State News, Former state House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, now in a crowded and competitive Republican primary to take on Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in 2012, shrugged off the results of a special congressional election in New York on Tuesday night, in which a Democratic candidate picked up a seat from the Republicans, and doubled down his support of federal budgetary reforms backed by U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-WisWhile others stick their fingers in the wind to see what the election results from last night mean for their support of the Ryan plan, I remain steadfast in my support, added Hasner. In fact, my only complaint with the Path to Prosperity Plan is that it does not go far enough, fast enough, to address Washington's unsustainable spending. [Sunshine State News, 5/25/11] Hasner Called The Ryan Plan A Good Start. According to the Tampa Tribune, The recent shutdown of the U.S. government was averted when $38 billion in spending cuts were negotiated. But the federal government, Hasner said, would borrow more than the $38 billion in savings within 10 days, Hasner said. He said the plan put forth by Republican U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the House Budget Committee chairman, is a good starting point. [Tampa Tribune, 4/30/11] Hasner Promised To Support The Ryan Plan Or Any Plan That Shares Its Goals. According to the Orlando Sentinel, Hasner wrote in an op-ed, I'll support and advocate for the Ryan plan or any plan that shares its goals, because it will put America back on the path to prosperity while saving Medicare for the millions of Florida seniors who depend on this essential program. This isn't a political strategy or a clever maneuver on my part; it's simply what I believe is the responsible leadership path that's been lacking for too long in our politics. [Orlando Sentinel, 6/17/11] Washington Post: Hasner Fully Embraced The Ryan Plan. According to the Washington Post, Like Rubio in his successful 2010 Senate campaign, Hasner has less experience and name recognition than other Republicans in the field hoping to take on Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) next November. And, like Rubio, hes working to position himself as the preferred candidate of conservative activists and the national pundit class particularly on Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryans (R) budget, which Hasner has fully embraced, a rare Senate candidate willing to take such a step For the moment, Hasner is placing a major bet that his support for the Ryan plan will pay political dividends casting him in the eyes of GOP voters as the only true conservative in the contest. Rick Wilson, an adviser to Hasner, says voters will reward him for taking a principled stand: Adam is a junkyard dog on policies and willing to take some very tough stands and willing to go out there and swim against the current, because hes not a guy who puts political calculus first. If voters wanted someone swayed by popular opinion, he said, we would have Sen. Charlie Crist right now, added Wilson. [Washington Post, 6/6/11] Hasner Wanted To Cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. According to the Sun Sentinel, Hasner said, If we dont do the things to get us back in the right direction, the spending cuts, the

According to the Economic Policy Institute, Using a standard macroeconomic model that is consistent with that used by private- and public-sector forecasters, we estimate that the shock to aggregate demand from near-term NSD spending cuts would result in roughly 900,000 jobs lost in 2012 and roughly 1.3 million jobs lost in 2013.

[Lakeland Ledger, 8/3/11] Hasner Said He Was A Tea Party Radical. According to the Lakeland Ledger, Hasner said, A few years ago I was called too partisan, too radical. It is who I am. I was branded as a tea party radical. Well, if urging the cutting of unnecessary government expenses and reducing taxes make me a tea party radical, then pass the sugar. [Lakeland Ledger, 8/3/11] Hasner Compared The Threat Of Debt To Hitler. According to the Miami New Times, in a 4th of July message to supporters, Hasner said, On July 4, 1941, as Hitler's Reich spread its influence across Europe, President Roosevelt used a radio address to proclaim the Fourth of July holiday as an example to the world in its fight for freedom. President Roosevelt said, several new practices of tyranny have been making such headway that the fundamentals of 1776 are being struck down abroad, and definitely, they are threatened hereToday, the biggest threat to our liberty is not a foreign government, but our own. The worst practice of tyranny is not from a dictator, but from our debt - a debt which threatens to enslave future generations of Americans to a diminished future, a lower standard of living, and a reduction of our freedoms. We face more restrictions on our liberties from stifling bureaucrats than from threats abroad. [Miami NewTimes, 7/6/11] Hasner Attacked Rep. Alan Grayson For Making A Reference To The Holocaust. According to CNN.com, GOP leaders charged Grayson with crossing a rhetorical line and demanded an apology.

I apologize to the dead and their families that we haven't voted sooner to end this holocaust in America, he said On Thursday, a GOP legislative leader from Grayson's home state of Florida criticized him for making light of the Jewish Holocaust during World War II. Regardless of one's position on the issue of health care reform, comparing the American health care system to the systematic murdering of over 6 million Jews is totally outrageous and unfit for someone holding public office, Florida House Majority Leader Adam Hasner said. [CNN.com, 10/1/09]

Hasner Attacked Occupy Wall Street As Anti-Capitalists, Anti-Semites, And BornAgain Communists. According to the Florida Independent, the Hasner campaign sent out an email that read, President Obama and the Democrats have chosen sides. Instead of standing with the millions of middle class Americans who work hard, play by the rules, and want government to get off their backs and out of their way President Obama is siding with a collection of left-wing activists, anarchists, and extremists who are occupying cities from New York to MiamiThe front lines of President Obama and the Democrats new supposedly anti-capitalist army is manned by kids decked out in the latest designer logoed clothes and sporting the latest high-tech toys from some of the worlds most successful corporations.

Nobody calls Hasner a leading contender at this point, but some Democratic strategists perceive him as a serious general election threat: an extreme right-winger who comes off as perfectly reasonable.

DEBT POLICY
Hasner Opposed Any Compromise In Debt Talks. According to RedState, Hasner sent a message to supporters entitled Dont Cave that read, Let me be clear: Republicans cannot cave.Raising the debt limit (again), without serious fiscal reforms, is a recipe for economic disaster.

According to the Palm Beach Post, columnist Frank Cerabino wrote, Stifling bureaucrats are today's Adolf Hitler? That's like saying imposing environmental regulations on harmful greenhouse gases is the equivalent of gassing millions of Jews to death in concentration camps, or that eliminating a tax break for the very richest Americans is like invading Poland. What's even more strange is that I don't remember getting any Hitler advisories from Hasner during the previous seven times the national debt limit was raised under President George W. Bush.

According to the Sunshine State News, Hasner said in a statement I cannot support the latest plans for raising the debt ceiling. The House plan doesn't cut enough now, and it doesn't do enough to prevent Congress from spending later. The Senate's plan is a blank check to President Obama to add trillions more to our debt. Rather than continuing to float new plans, Republicans in Congress should unite around the only plan that will solve our debt crisis once and for all; a plan that has received bipartisan support and will prevent a credit downgrade: the 'cut, cap and balance' plan. Cutting spending, capping spending, and insisting on a meaningful balanced budget amendment is the only responsible way to deal with our debt crisis, and remains the only plan I would support. [Sunshine State News, 7/26/11] Hasner Opposed The Debt Ceiling Compromise Because It Didnt Include Cut, Cap, And Balance. Hasner said in a statement on Facebook, Tonight the House is voting to add at least $7 trillion to Americas debt over the next ten years. There will be good conservatives on both sides of this vote, but I oppose this plan because it falls woefully short of putting America on sound financial footing. It doesnt come close to meeting the conditions necessary to avoid a downgrade to Americas best-in-the-world credit rating and it leaves the door open for massive tax hikes. There is no strict requirement for a Balanced Budget Amendment or strong, across-the-board spending caps tied to the size of the economy. Furthermore the plan will not restore confidence in Americas jobcreators or job-seekers, which is exactly what our nation needs the most at this critical time. [Hasner Campaign Facebook Page, 8/1/11] Hasner Said The Supercommittee Failed Because There Has Been Entirely Too Much Deal Making.

The supercommittee was born out of failure: a failure to lead, a failure to act, and a fundamental failure by politicians more interested in protecting their D.C. niche than in doing what is right, he said in a news release issued this afternoon. The supercommittee has come to represent everything that is broken with Washington. I wouldnt be shocked to see the term become shorthand for the kind of D.C.-centric thinking that has brought us to this point, Hasner stated, calling the supercommittee a microcosm of Washington.

Trento wrote, I was informed that a Muslim activist lawyer with whom we had confrontations in the past, was at this demonstration Shaya Elahi is the leader (of the leaderless) Occupy Orlando! It turns out that he is the official legal counsel for this movement and indeed one of the key people, if not the main person calling the shots! Once we watched Shayan Elahi in action, running around, signing up speakers, providing direction, telling people what to do, we started to connect the dots to the stated Face Book Mission Statement of Occupy Orlando, which reads, we plan to use the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic of mass occupation to restore democracy in America. Elahi worked with Council on American-Islamic Relations previously and through this Trento sought to connect Elahi and thus Occupy Orlando to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.
