Heh.

I’ve never been a fan of hand wringing in politics. Let’s just say I’m a little bit old school. That’s one reason why I just love Kay Barnes’ (D) campaign (and it’s not even my congressional district).

Sam Graves (r) is a tad bit upset that someone is doing phone calls in the district. His campaign demanded that she condemn the dastardly practitioners of First Amendment expression. Here’s a hint Sam: the voters don’t like whiners.

How did Kay Barnes reply to Sam’s plaintive demand?:

Today, Washington Congressman Sam Graves lashed out at Kay Barnes, calling on her to “condemn” phone calls from groups not associated with the Barnes campaign, criticizing Graves’ record.

The Kay Barnes Campaign issued the following statement in response to Congressman Graves’ attack:

“Kay Barnes condemns the status quo in Washington, and Sam Graves’ culpability for record-high gas prices and outrageous tax giveaways to big oil companies.  If other folks are also tired of the status quo in Congress and want to talk to Missourians about it on the phone, that’s their business.”

Ouch. That had to have left a mark.

Heh. Old school. It’s nice to have a fighter on our side.
