Carnahan’s Conversion to Fiscal Responsibility Dubious

My opponent Russ Carnahan recently released a statement on fiscal discipline.  Here is a quote:

“Without restoring fiscal responsibility, our economy can’t fully recover. The large deficits we inherited as a result of reckless borrow-and-spend policies of the last administration have put pressure on funding for important priorities such as job creation. We are long [...]

MO Wind Farm Floating on Taxpayer Breeze

Climategate – Global Warming Hucksters Revealed

I have been reviewing the details of “Climategate,” a story that broke in the last several days.  So far, the mainstream media has not been all that interested in the story.
