NRCC tries to entice vulnerable Dems with 'retirement package'

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) is out with a tongue-in-cheek "retirement package" brochure targeting 10 potentially vulnerable House Democrats.

"You gave us record deficits and debt, voted to fund ObamaCare and worked hard to raise taxes on working families and small businesses — isn't it time to call it quits?" reads the brochure. "Why wait until voters show you the door in November 2014? With all your favorite hobbies and pastimes just an election away ... don't wait, retire today!"

The attacks on "ObamaCare," taxes and deficit spending echo the ones the committee made on many of these members during the 2012 elections, in which all of them won reelection. Some could be in for tougher races in a non-presidential year, however.

The piece goes after Democratic Reps. Ron Barber (Ariz.), Jerry McNerney (Calif.), John Barrow (Ga.), Bruce Braley (Iowa), Tim Bishop (N.Y.), Louise Slaughter (N.Y.), Collin Peterson (Minn.), Tim Walz (Minn.), Nick Rahall (W.Va.) and Jim Matheson (Utah).
