Hypocrite Robin Carnahan Attacks Roy Blunt on TARP, But Fails to Tell You She is On Record...

The latest negative attack ad paid for by Robin Carnahan attacks Roy Blunt for voting for the Troubled Asset Relief Program known as TARP. She attacks Blunt for voting for the first TARP plan, even though Blunt voted against against the second part and lead the negotiations that split TARP into two parts.

It turns out Robin Carnahan is a hypocrite. Who knew?

It turns out, not many days ago in the final days of July, Carnahan told a donor at a private fundraiser hosted by a former CEO for a financial services firm that TARP was "absolutely" necessary. Does Robin have a memory problem or is she just dishonest like some other politicians I know of?

Just listen for yourself what Robin Carnahan approvingly says about TARP as she attempts to smear Mr. Blunt.



From RedState:

Robin Carnahan loves her some bailout | RedState



Hearken back to a couple of weeks ago, when I noted how MO Sec’y of State Robin Carnahan has attempted to use TARP as a way to smear MO Congressman Roy Blunt. Blunt and Carnahan are seeking the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Missouri’s Sen. Kit Bond. One of the sources for that post, an article from the Sedalia (MO) Democrat, noted that Ms. Carnahan stated that she thought “TARP money may have been needed to stabilize the economy“. Interesting. But now Robin Carnahan has been recorded stating that
If the bailouts hadn’t happened, there could have been a worse financial problem
Fascinating statement, coming from someone who has been criticizing her opponent for supporting TARP (from which he later backed out after witnessing the Democrats’ bastardization of the legislation).

In that same Sedalia Democrat article, Carnahan’s criticism of “banking executives”:

She called the use of some TARP money to fund large bonuses for banking executives “outrageous” and expressed frustration that “taxpayers were stuck with a bill to clean up their mess.

But interestingly, that Santa Fe meeting where Carnahan pledged her love for TARP washosted by … a finance industry executive, Catherine Allen.

So which is it, Robin? Bailouts good or bailouts bad? Bankers good or bankers bad? First you don’t tell us anything about your positions, and now you take two sides to every issue. It’s no wonder Roy Blunt is leading you in the polls by an ever-increasing margin. You andyour BFF, President Obama, are bad for the country and Missourians know it.
