Do Demorat Candidates Have Any Integrity?

I've been gone for awhile but more about that in another post. We have all heard "This election is a crossroad" or "This election will determine the future of the country" etc etc. And we have all heard "This election is the most negative one ever". The latter statement actually seems to be true.

In the US Senate campaign, blows are being struck back and forth by candidates and senatorial committees. Obviously my point of view is that the Talent campaign concentrated on the record while McCaskill knew she couldn't win on her record so she started distorting Talent's.

On the local level, the Dempsey/Koester race has gotten really nasty. As far as I can tell, Dempsey has kept to the high road displaying his record and encouraging the voters to review Koester's record of ineptness, incompetence, and questionale integrity. Those are not Dempsey's words but mine.

Koester and his allies, we all know who they are, Riddler and his cronies on the City Council as well as other democrat operatives, have taken a page out of the national and state democrat playbook, if you can't win on the facts - distort them! It is happening in the US Senate race and it is happening to Tom Dempsey. Benjamin Disreali never knew Koester and his cronies but he was thinking about there kind when he said that there are "lies, damn lies...". Tells you a lot about a person (McCaskill and Koester) when they can't win on their own vision and record.

Unlike his opponent, Tom Dempsey has the integrity and proven record of truly serving his district and the County.

Another race that is full of distortion is the Faith/Green race. Green, who has no ambition that doesn't come from his brother Tim, is seeking to distort his record and Sally Faith's record. He makes false claims against Sally, false claims that he actually did anything while he was in the legislature, and false claims that he would do anything if sent back.

His main complaint is the Republicans falsely claimed he went to Alaska at taxpayers expense. That was in fact inaccurate. However, it IS accurate that he planned to go to Alaska at taxpayer expense but then was told that in an upcoming election that would look bad and pulled out. He did in fact seek approval to go to Alaska and received it.

He also runs from his boating while intoxicated problem. He has received at least 2 of them resulting in his brother, when he was budget chairman, attempting to punish the water patrol for doing their job.

The Green's are not representative of St. Charles County and should be sent a clear message that their brand of politics are not wanted in St Charles.

Sally Faith should be sent back to Jefferson City to represent us as we would want to be represented.
