Claire McCaskill is Not Who You Think...

...unless you think she's a far left liberal.

Warning: This Campaign May be Toxic to Your Political Health

Earlier this month, Claire McCaskill (D- Not the Sharpest Knife in the Drawer), disappeared with "prior commitments" (like getting re-elected) when Obama came to visit St. Louis. In Virginia and North Carolina, Democrats like Tim Kaine,former Democratic National Committee chairman and governor, Democratic state Sen. Phil Puckett, were running away as well.

In September, Democratic state Sen. Phil Puckett distanced himself from Obama after his Republican challenger started calling him "Obama's man in southwest Virginia". In southwest Virginia, House Minority Leader Ward Armstrong is having a tough political fight. One of his solutions? Stay away from Barack Obama,.

Sometimes, in politics, they talk about a politician's "coattails", how a lesser candidate can be carried into office by virtue of the fact that the top of the ticket was strong enough to draw votes for other members of the same party. More rarely, they talk about "reverse coattails", where a poor candidate drags others in his party to defeat.

Democrat politicians fear Barack's coattails in 2012. As well they should.

McCaskill Stiffs Obama in Missouri

Thanks, but no thanks!

I've seen Sen. McCaskill on some of the Sunday shows, and my opinion of her has always been that she is one of the dimmer bulbs on the political scene. But, even she isn't dumb enough to be photographed alongside the walking train wreck that is Barack Obama!

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) won't join President Obama when he visits St. Louis on Tuesday, prompting claims by Republicans that she is avoiding an appearance with the president, whose poll numbers are underwater in Missouri.

The President of the United States, of your own party, comes to your state and, oops! You've got other things to do that day? Yeah. Right!

She was an early supporter of Obama during the 2008 Democratic presidential primary. Yet her chances for reelection hinge on her ability to distance herself from Obama...

So long as she is true to her principles, right? And staying in office does help fund that private jet...

Update : I was wrong. Turns out Claire has a long standing date to shop with Michelle at the local Piggly Wiggly...or wash her hair...or maybe she needs to bury a grandma who just died...again.

Claire Air - She Certainly Has the Head for it!

Claire McCaskill has always been one of the dimmer bulbs in Congress. (Maybe why she supports Obama so strongly?) Have her corruption and addiction to power finally caught up with her?



That's a good ad. Remember it will take our time, our talent and our treasure to take this country back. Consider contributing to Sarah Steelman and others who can do thejob.

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-ipwad) Finally Pays Taxes on Her Private Plane

What is it with Democrats and not paying taxes? Claire McCaskill has never struck me as the sharpest knife in the Democrat drawer, from her lackluster appearances on the Sunday morning shows, but here, she shows the same tin ear most Democrat politicians do when it comes to meeting their civic obligations.

In a conference call with reporters, Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill just disclosed that she failed to pay $287,000 in property taxes related to her co-ownership of a private aircraft. This scandal comes quickly on the heels of recent revelations that McCaskill improperly billed taxpayers for use of the same private aircraft, for which McCaskill reimbursed the Treasury $88,000

Tom Daschle gets chauffeured around in a limo and "forgets" to pay his fair share of taxes for the privilege. Turbo Tax Timmy Geithner "forgets" to pay his taxes. Claire McCaskill flies around in her own private plane and "forgets" to pay taxes on it (and inappropriately bills some of the expenses to the taxpayer to boot!).

Maybe she's angling for a cabinet position in the Obama administration?
