Robin Carnahan publicly calls out her brother

(ST. LOUIS, MO.) May 13, 2010 – Once again Missouri Secretary of State, Robin Carnahan, calls out the actions of her brother. Congressman Russ Carnahan voted in favor of the Troubled Asset Relief Program which amounted to a $700 billion Wall Street bailout.

The Kansas City Star today mentions the Robin Carnahan for Senate campaign is making its rounds this week attacking those who voted for TARP. Maybe she’s not aware but that includes her brother Rubberstamp Russ. It also includes one of Obama’s top fans – Senator Claire McCaskill. Robin claims she would have voted against the bailout bill; a bill many leftist blogs are saying is “one of the most successful programs ever.” Of course Robin tries to cover her bets by pointing out that the bailouts lacked accountability. She said repeatedly on a talk radio program on February 14, 2010 with host Jamie Allman that “I would have demanded accountability.”

“Her brother Russ Carnahan should have demanded some accountability when he voted in favor of the Chrysler bailout too. But he did nothing – as taxpayer money was given to the car company and they in turn shipped our local jobs across our country’s borders. Robin is right to criticize her brother and his rubberstamp votes,” said 3rd district congressional candidate Ed Martin.
