Now that the disbanded ACORN doesn't seem to be much of a campaign issue any more, the Missouri Republican Party has labeled Senate candidate Robin Carnahan as "Rubberstamp Robin," assuming that Missourians are going to vote against anything associated with Barack Obama. The following news release was issued:
One day after more than 1,100 patriotic Americans rallied against his job-killing, big-government policies at the Stand Up for Freedom rally in Macon, Barack Obama heaped praise on Robin Carnahan during their joint appearance in Northern Missouri.
For Obama, politics came before jobs at today's campaign-style event. Obama praised Robin Carnahan, calling her “one of my favorite people” and saying that she would make an “outstanding” U.S. Senator. (Translation: Obama knows that Carnahan would be an automatic vote as he attempts to enact his radical liberal agenda, including a job-killing cap and trade national energy tax.)
“It’s not surprising that President Obama thinks Robin Carnahan is one of his ‘favorite people,’” said Lloyd Smith, Executive Director of the Missouri Republican Party. “After all, Carnahan has given her rubberstamp support to every major component of Obama’s job-killing, big-government agenda—including the government takeover of health care, the failed stimulus bill, the devastating cap-and-tax energy scheme, and the transfer of some of the world’s most dangerous terrorists to American soil. Carnahan would remain one of Barack Obama's favorite people if she goes back to Washington, DC, to advance the radical agenda of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama.”
It’s no wonder Obama calls Carnahan one of his “favorite people:”

One of those is not to have these kind of off-shore prisons.” (Springfield News-Leader, February 7, 2010)

Potty mouth like Claire McCaskill, Obama and Pelosi.
Ms. Carnahan is running, but she can not hide.
I would rather vote for Robin than Roy and the lobbyists he votes for. Roy has never met a lobbyist he did not love. In fact he divorced his wife to marry one. Roy is what is wrong with Washington. All those tea party folks who want change should be lining up to help Robin defeat Roy.
