Stephen Webber’s (D) campaign has a new television ad out:

Stephen Webber (D): This is the last place I came before I deployed to Iraq. And the first when I came home.

Al Shattuck: Webber served two tours of duty in Iraq.

Al Barnes: He’s one of the best leaders I’ve ever had.

Voice: Webber was our squad leader and he definitely looked out for us.

Nic Gibbons: Webber always led from the front. He was the first vehicle, he’d lead on the patrol every single time. And he did it humbly, too.

Aaron Schulz: The reason he was in front is because if something happened he wanted to be the one up there that was in harm’s way.

Voice: When we first arrived in Fallujah it was a totally different world.

Voice: There was improvised explosive devices. We had snipers, firefights. It takes a real leader, someone like Webber that keeps his team and his squad on point all the time.

Bryan Miller: I was in the Humvee with Webber when we hit an IED. Forty pounds, C4.

Aaron Schulz: He got everybody home safe.

Voice: I believe in him as a person, as a leader, and as a friend.

Stephen Webber (D): No matter what I faced in Iraq or here at home, these names and the memory of their sacrifice humbles me and gives me the strength to serve.

Missouri’s Legislative session: Republicans load up on election-year issues
By Kurt Erickson St. Louis Post-Dispatch
May 15, 2016

….As an example of how election-year concerns cast a shadow over the session, Rep. Caleb Rowden, R-Columbia, didn’t cast a vote when the so-called “personhood” measure was voted on in the House. Rowden is locked in a battle for a seat in the Senate in a Democrat-leaning district….

.@calebrowden you were at the Capitol yesterday, so why did you miss the vote on a constitutional amendment? #moleg
4:08 PM – 6 May 2016

Uh, because everyone understands that right wingnut republican enablers running in the 19th Senate District don’t want anyone to know what they’re really like, but they still need those awesome party campaign contributions. We’re just guessing.

There’s some explaining to do today for some republicans in the Missouri General Assembly:

Rosenbaum042716

Jason Rosenbaum‏@jrosenbaum
. @calebrowden on why he voted against #SJR39:

Rep. Rowden Issues Statement on SJR 39

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – “I have spent most of my adult life in ministry; first as a full time Christian recording artist and second as the Worship Pastor at my church in Columbia. I did not believe SJR 39 was the right way to move our state forward at a time when people in Missouri are looking for leadership on how to fix our roads, grow our economy, and keep our families safe.”

4:18 PM – 27 Apr 2016

Gee, if only the same philosophy applied to Medicaid expansion.

And to think, Stephen Webber (D) is running for the same seat. Go figure.

Previously:

Ed Emery might go on the attack to defend SJR39 – but only if brave Torry revolutionaries get his back (April 13, 2016)

In our present campaign finance environment it’s never too early to start raising the money.

Standard republican operating procedure.

Representative Mary Still (D), the Democratic Party candidate in the 19th Senate District, on the floor of the Missouri House, March 21, 2012.

In April 9, 2011, in the Washington Monthly:

…On the Senate floor yesterday, Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), eager to prove that the budget debate wasn’t just about Planned Parenthood, spent some time on the Senate floor going after Planned Parenthood.

“Everybody goes to clinics, to doctors, to hospitals, so on,” Kyl said. “Some people go to Planned Parenthood. But you don’t have to go to Planned Parenthood to get your cholesterol or your blood pressure checked. If you want an abortion, you go to Planned Parenthood, and that’s well over 90% of what Planned Parenthood does.”

That’s not even close to being accurate. Just 3% of the organization’s work is related to terminating pregnancies, while “well over 90% of Planned Parenthood does” relates to preventative health care services….

….As political spin goes, this is a true gem. Kyl said abortion is “well over 90% of what Planned Parenthood does” — a blatant lie — and when called on it, his defense is that his remarks on the Senate floor were “not intended to be a factual statement.” What an amazing way to justify all bogus claims — just make stuff up, and if anyone notices that you’re not telling the truth, simply explain that your nonsense was “not intended to be a factual statement….”

[emphasis added]

Today, in the 19th Senate District race, a story about a republican attack piece against Mary Still (D):

GOP ad accusing Still of missing votes takes liberties with dates

By Rudi Keller

Saturday, October 27, 2012

A Republican direct mail piece attacking Rep. Mary Still for missing votes includes a mention of 100 votes taken while she was hospitalized and cites dates when Still was either on hand or the House was on vacation….

….The fact that the dates used are not dates when Still actually missed votes do not undermine the message of the circular, said Jonathon Prouty, spokesman for the Missouri GOP. “If the statements that are made are not actual statements but made to highlight a particular part of the failed record, then the dates are insignificant,” he said…..

We live in a post fact, post truth, post sane America. The stoopid, it burns.
