Carnahan on “Stimulus”
March 12th, 2009Last weekend, presumed Democrat candidate for US Senate, Secretary of State Robin Carnahan, attempted to dodge the question of whether she would have voted for the extravagantly wasteful “stimulus” bill as ALL DEMOCRAT SENATORS DID: “I don’t think it was an option to do nothing,” Carnahan said. “People who kept saying no to everything … don’t have a lot of credibility on this stuff.” “I don’t know everything that was in that package,” she said, adding that “something had to be done, and it had to be done quickly.”
MCV-PAC ran the figures, and legislators would have had to read 640 words per minute (that’s almost 2 pages) to know everything that was in the 1071-page stimulus bill within the 10 hours before they had to vote.MCV-PAC wonders, as all responsible Missourians do, whether doing something is better than doing nothing when you admittedly don’t know what you are doing. So, what kind of credibility do Carnahan, Senator McCaskill, or the rest of the Democrat Senate actually have? Can we trust Carnahan to represent OUR best interests when she wouldn’t even bother to slow down the process, preferring to just doing the “something” that was presented by San Francisco and Las Vegas liberals Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.
