WASHINGTON (CNN) - The Democratic National Committee released a new Web video Thursday criticizing Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Arizona, for saying in a statement Monday that he wants to "cancel the rest of the stimulus spending."

The video accused the three-term Republican senator of being "just another member of the 'Party of No.'" It features a number of projects in Arizona funded by President Obama's $787 billion stimulus package.

Earlier in the day, the Republican National Committee released its own Web video blasting Obama for the stimulus package.

Full script after the jump

VO: After eight years of being a yes man for George Bush's disastrous economic policies, it's no surprise Senator Jon Kyl wants to cancel the recovery act funding that's creating jobs across Arizona.

Dee, 1 Vote		July 10th, 2009 1:19 am ET Sen Kyl, The DNC, got YOU by Check and Win! Mr. Steele, is this you or Rush!

Hopeful Optimist		July 9th, 2009 11:01 pm ET Ya know, America is in a bad way, and i'm not talking economics either. This is ONE POLARIZED COUNTRY !!! I am sixty one years old and a Vietnam Vet, yet I've never seen anything like this. Its no longer a matter of whats best for our country, but, rather, whose side wins. We'd better straighten up and act like grownups, and I mean soon, or somethin' bad is gonna happen, and its not going to discriminate between Red and Blue when it comes to dealin' out the big hurt. The vast majority of my generation never wore their country's uniform, and never contributed service of any kind. Shameful, but its true and not something to be proud of. I keep waiting for them to grow up and quit living ONLY for themselves. Walk a mile in another's shoes, and maybe you will get some REAL fulfillment.

Bill		July 9th, 2009 10:54 pm ET The only thing shifty here is the democrats supporting a stimulus package that isn't stimulating the economy...

Tim		July 9th, 2009 9:08 pm ET Remember, Obama pledged to create 3 million new jobs. Well he said he would save or create 3 million jobs. Well I guess he said he would save or create a million jobs. Well, yesterday he said he would put thousands to work. At least he can claim that his policies haven't destroyed 3 million jobs, yet.

I vote the GOP move out of the country		July 9th, 2009 9:04 pm ET they are wasting our time

rick		July 9th, 2009 8:59 pm ET We are indeed the Party of no, no more wasteful spending, no more government takeover of businesses, no more government intrusion into our lives, no more stimulus, no more Obama and the Democratic party that can't say no to wasteful spending and bankrupting the country

Scott, Tucson		July 9th, 2009 8:27 pm ET Don't cancel the stimulus! Nancy Pelosi needs some of that money to protect and take care of her mice population out in the California wetlands. Money well spent there folks.

mjm		July 9th, 2009 8:22 pm ET If you read Kyl's statement he makes some very good points. Most of us feared that this money would be wasted. If they can't use our money wisely, they should not spend it. Jon Kyl "Party of No we should not waste this money"
