Russ Carnahan's Door is Always Open

This past Saturday, Russ Carnahan (D-MO) spoke briefly at the St Louis County Library on Weber Rd before leaving through the back door in the middle of the meeting. He took no questions and offered only pablum and platitudes to his constituents.

There are alternatives to Carnahan. Ed Martin is the GOP favorite and Edward Crim is one of Carnahan's Democrat primary challengers. The Missouri primary election is August 3rd.

St Louis Housewife Debra Carnahan attacks Working Mom Sarah Palin

Congressman Russ Carnahan's (D-MO) wife, Debra Carnahan, participated in a round table discussion on PBS's To the Contrary this past May (error ridden transcript, mp3 audio). In her opening remark, Mrs. Carnahan took a shot at Sarah Palin. Here's what she had to say about Palin's "frontier feminism":

I don't believe that Sarah Palin is the leader of frontier feminism. Frontier feminism was and is real. Sarah Palin is the leader of something. I'm not sure what, but I would call it snake oil.

At which point one of the other panelists politely laughs—perhaps in embarrassment at Mrs. Carnahan's odd suggestion that snake oil requires a leader. Maybe if the snake oil was spilled someone would need to lead the cleanup effort, but I digress.

If you support Sarah Palin or think Mrs. Carnahan is the one peddling snake oil, you can do your part to erode her political status by supporting either her husband's primary opponent, Edward Crim, or his likely Republican challenger come November, Ed Martin.

Introducing Edward Crim

In mid-January, Edward Crim (D) announced that he would be running to represent Missouri's Third Congressional District. Crim is running as a Democrat, so he will face Russ Carnahan (D-MO) in the August 3rd primary.

I interviewed Crim and will be releasing more video from that interview in the coming days. You can find out more about Crim at EdwardCrimForCongress.com.

Russ Carnahan on Saving Healthcare

No, really, go vote for Russ Carnahan! Citizens Against Government Waste is running a poll for porker of the year and this is the last race Missouri's Third Congressional District would like to see Russ win. This issue crosses political ideology. If you lean right, you want to soften Russ up for a run against Ed Martin. If you lean left, you want to give his primary challenger, Edward Crim, a shot at winning the August 3rd election and bolstering Democrat chance's in November's general.

Citizens Against Government Waste awarded Russ Carnahan Porker of the Month last July. Here are some other highlights of Russ's penchant for fiscal frivolity:

• A lobbyist funded jaunt to the Great Barrier Reef, Hawaii, and Antarctica
• Voted taxpayer dollars to his brother's oh-so-green windfarm—$90 million in stimulus green
• Voted to fund abortion with taxpayer dollars
• Voted for the "stimulus" bill
