Carnahan for Senate: Part of the solution, not the problem

...Which of these two candidates would do the better job of representing the interests of the most Missourians in the United States Senate for the next six years?

The answer is Robin Carnahan...

She understands the need to bring even more reform to the financial sector. She understands that the social contract — work hard and get ahead — is threatened by special interests and record income inequality.

Mr. Blunt does not appear to see the problem, perhaps because he played a key role in creating it. His 21-page “jobs program” boils down to standard Republican mantras of cutting taxes and government spending and unleashing the forces of the marketplace.

Since 1980, those ideas have worked fine for the “haves” and “have mores” in America, but they’ve left the working poor desperate and the middle class struggling.

Carnahan, Cleaver, Skelton, Graves in key Missouri races

Carnahan has earned her public service stripes as secretary of state, effectively and efficiently improving operations in her office. She’s a sharp, compassionate leader who can be counted on to represent the best interests of all Missourians. The daughter of a former governor and a former U.S. senator, and sister of a sitting congressman, Carnahan first won the hearts of Missourians when she promised to “not let the fire go out” following the tragic deaths of her father and brother in an airplane crash...

(Blunt) admits Republicans did a pretty poor job controlling spending when they were last in charge in Washington, hardly a good reason to believe they would be frugal this time. Blunt has close ties to special interests and is one of the largest House recipients of special interest donations, so his political independence is clearly suspect.

Carnahan, in contrast, proposes to end the revolving door from Congress to lobbying firms, and she strongly supports more disclosure on campaign finance donations. She opposes earmarks, a growing budget concern, and offers a fresh, honest approach to government.

1. Good news - Blunt is part of the problem in Washington.

I'm surprised the Tea Party isn't looking to get rid of him for being part of the problem. (not really surprised, but it is a glaring mistake in their belief system to only be against Dems and no Repubes)

2. That's good but surprising for the Star as far as I am concerned.

Kansas City is SO conservative and right-wing that I can hardly stand it!
