They say time flies when you're having fun. Well, apparently Congressman Sam Graves has been having such a good time in Washington representing special interests for the past eight years that he must want voters to forget as much of it as possible.
Sam Graves has been distributing re-election flyers touting that the incumbent Congressman has been in Washington for six years, when this is actually his eighth year in Washington.
"It's no wonder that Sam Graves wants us to forget how long he's been in Washington," said Steve Glorioso, Kay for Congress spokesman. "The Bush-Graves Administration of the last eight years has been a disaster. Whether it's passing tax breaks for companies that outsource jobs, opposing the Production Tax Credit for renewable energy, protecting companies that knowingly hire illegal immigrants, or cutting funding for veterans, seniors and children, each of Graves' four terms has wreaked havoc on Northwest Missouri's economy and people."
Glorioso added, "Maybe Graves thought that six years wouldn't seem as bad as eight. But looking at his abysmal record, it's hard to tell which of Sam Graves' disastrous two-year terms he wants us to forget."
