Congress is Ripe for Rebooting!
I think the money stat from Scott Rasmussen above is on the question: “Is your own representative the best for the job?” With 44% saying “No” and 29% “unsure”, this bodes well for significant turnover in November. In light of Russ Carnahan (D-MO)…
What’s Going on at Carnahan’s Office?
The campaign headquarters of Congressman Russ Carnahan (D-MO) was broken into and a fire was started in the finance office the other night. Carnahan’s Republican opponent, Ed Martin (R-MO), quickly condemned the attack.
While the story to that po…
Shouldn’t Carnahan’s "Firebombing" Be A Federal Investigation?
I’m a little amazed this isn’t getting more traction. When Carnahan’s staff lied about a coffin being left on his front lawn, it was national news for the left wing television hosts, and a chance for Carnahan to send out a fundraising letter saying he was/wasn’t/was/wasn’t scared and needed money. But now – in what Jake Wagman of the Post Dispatch is calling a firebombing of a sitting Congressman’s office, we see a couple of stories, and nothing else. Um – even if firebombing is a bit of a loaded word, an attack on a congressman’s campaign office is a…
Russ Carnahan’s Office Target Of Arson
Read this in the PD. Don’t know what kind of disturbed individual would do such a thing – I haven’t checked with anyone, but I feel confident that I can go ahead and speak for the St Louis Tea Party and all affiliated conservatives in loudly denouncing any act of violence by any person. There is never a time when any act of violence or terror is acceptable in politics. It sounds like they have some guy under arrest. Good. We want Russ Carnahan soundly defeated and the polls and embarrassed from ever seeking office again. Violence, threats, and arson…
Welcome Home Russ Carnahan!
Just a little something to let Congressman Russ Carnahan (D-MO) know how glad we are to have him back in the district for the August recess. I’d recommend watching this one full screen with the volume cranked up.
Prop C Passes, Blunt to Face Carnahan
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Hot weather and few surprises defined Tuesday’s primary Election Day in Missouri.
A motivated activist vote fueled easy passage of the initiative to place Missouri’s constitution at odds with the new federal health care law. The measure carried more than 71 percent of total votes cast.
Proponents cast 667,680 votes in favor the [...]
Russ Carnahan Films No On Prop C Commercial
Missouri’s current congressman for the third district films a "no on prop c" commercial for his former employer, BJC. BJC, a non-profit, paid the Congressman $88,000 a year from 2000-2004 while he was a State Rep, despite Carnahan no longer being registered as a lobbyist. Also, Carnahan sold his boat.

I’m Confused. Did Russ Carnahan Never Run For Office Before?
Ed Martin has another email out about Russ Carnahan, following FEC disclosure documents to the fact that Russ was being paid $88,000 a year by BJC while he was a state Representative. Russ was a BJC lobbyist from 1997-2000, but abandoned that in 2000 when he was elected as a state Rep. If he was no longer a lobbyist, what exactly was Carnahan doing that earned him $88,000 a year? This is the third piece of information that has come out about Carnahan and his shady dealings. He makes $150,000 on a no-money down commercial real estate deal. He docks…
Russ Carnahan Dodges his Yacht Tax
Wednesday morning, Ed Martin, a Republican candidate for Missouri’s Third Congressional district, called on Russ Carnahan to pay back taxes that he owes for the yacht he kept across the river in Alton, IL. Martin compared Carnahan to John Kerry who re…
Understanding The Difference In The Carnahans
With campaign season upon us, many people are a little confused about which Carnahan is which and in what race. Here’s a short primer for you. Robin Carnahan is the only Senate candidate in Missouri to demand a birth certificate from a political candidate of a different race. This would make her a "birther" by the definitions of the FiredUp family blog. Russ Carnahan owns a boat that he docked in Alton to avoid paying personal property taxes to the state of Missouri. This makes him a "berther." Robin Carnahan attacks politicians who take PAC donations in campaign races. Russ…
