The National Republican Congressional Committee is launching a TV ad campaign against Rep.Dennis Cardoza, D-Calif., hitting the Blue Dog Democrat over the growing national debt and pressuring him to support a balanced budget amendment.
The three-week cable TV buy starts today, claiming that Cardoza, who co-chairs the Blue Dog coalition of fiscally conservative Democrats, is "wast[ing] billions."

"This is $10,000. Now, $100 million. How about a trillion? And America's national debt - $14 trillion," says the announcer.
"Because Congressmen like Dennis Cardoza waste billions. We can make them stop with a Balanced Budget Amendment prohibiting Congress from spending more than it takes i. Tell Cardoza to support the Balanced Budget Amendment before it's too late."
Cardoza has been subject of retirement rumors, and in August, didn't deny to the Modesto Beethat he may be stepping down. California's redistricting map splintered his district, and one of his remaining options is to run against his close friend Rep. Jim Costa, D-Calif. Another option would be for him to run against freshman Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif, but in a more conservative district than his current one.
"It is clear that Dennis Cardoza's top priority is making sure he has a limitless credit card even if it means more suffering for struggling California families," said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay. "The first step towards reviving consumer and business confidence is for Washington Democrats like Cardoza to prove they are serious about promoting a pro-growth environment by support the Balanced Budget Amendment."
