Carnahan Literature also Lies

Canvasser just came by my door and gave me a lit piece about Russ Carnahan.

"To protect our children, he is the only candidate for Congress who has voted against conceal-and-carry."

Untrue.

See below.

i highly suggest someone goes over Russ' debate performances over the past year and sends in the various times he's lied about his legislative record, lied about his support/non support of the Holcim Cement plant, and other various things. This guy doesn't deserve to be in Congress.

Not only does his literature lie about his record, but his attendance record is supposed to be one of the worst in the legislature. Does anyone know where he ranks in this regard? I hear it's the bottom ten percent. If you are elected to represent people, don't you think you could show up for important votes to represent your constituents.

I feel like he has not shown up as a legislator and he hasn't shown up in this race. How else can you explain that Jeff Smith has out-hustled the field to be in the fundraising lead. With all due respect to Russ and the Carnahan family, I think everyone can see he is in over his head. I don't think we need to worry about the fact that he shouldn't be in Congress. In one of the biggest upsets in the country he is going to lose. It may not even be that close.
