	Republicans Claim Carson Neglects Duties (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Brad Carson says he is a conservative but his votes of yesterday say he is against tax cuts, against efforts to balance the federal budget, and against funding at any level for homeland security and national defense.
		Brad says one thing while he is campaigning and does exactly the opposite when in Washington, D.C. This is a Bill Clinton style of politics and Bill Clinton’s politics don’t sit well with Oklahoma voters,” said Kivett.
		Just a few months ago, Brad was so busy campaigning that he failed to vote on a major appropriations bill — HR 2673 - a bill that cost his district millions of dollars in federal funds for highway spending, anti-drug efforts, state-and-local law enforcement, and the Veterans Administration.

		Carson's. And that was reinforced, underscored, "Patrick Davis, the political director of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee added fuel to the fire later when he told Oklahoma delegates to the national GOP convention that, `We also view this race as good vs. evil.'"
		CARSON: I disagree. I supported the president and the resolution when it came through Congress. I believe that our success in Iraq is critical to our future, and I believe that, if anything, we should be more vigorous in destroying the sanctuaries that terrorists have carved out for themselves in the Sunni triangle there.
		CARSON: It was only the income tax cuts there. I thought they should be smaller and that we should have more marriage tax relief, more state tax relief, programs like that. That vote was purely on the income tax structure.

		Abortion: Carson voted for legislation this year signed by President Bush banning the procedure known as partial-birth abortion and says in the ad that he would also favor the general requirement that parents be notified before an abortion is performed on a minor.
		Also in 2002, Carson voted to send a bill back to committee that would make it illegal to transport a minor across state lines to have an abortion to circumvent state parental notification laws; that vote failed, and Carson then voted for the bill.

		“Brad Carson is so busy raising money from east coast liberals that he’s missing important votes in Congress, including the Energy Policy Act of 2004, a bill that is extremely important to our state and our economy,” said Josh Kivett, Humphreys Campaign Manager.
		It is a shame that Brad chose to ignore voting on the Energy Policy Act because he was so busy hob-knobbing with the east coast liberals.

	Turnabout in Okla. Senate Race (washingtonpost.com)
		Oklahoma's Senate candidates faced off on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, with Rep. Brad Carson (D) repeatedly embracing GOP policies and President Bush, and Republican Tom Coburn, a former House member, invoking John F. Kennedy's name and suggesting as "evil" a $442 billion budget deficit brought on by a GOP Congress and administration.
		Carson, a former Rhodes scholar, stuck closely to his strategy of painting Coburn as a "gadfly" with a propensity to make off-the-wall comments, and whose voting record indicates he cares more about his ideology than supporting projects for Oklahoma.
		Polls show Carson leading after a month of aggressive campaigning and advertising, coupled with revelations about Coburn's work as a doctor and some odd comments by Coburn that the Carson campaign ensured made it into the public domain.

		We need to fight for Brad Carson, John Kerry, and all the progressive and liberal candidates on the ballot until Tuesday evening when the polls close and the last vote is cast.
		One of the largest distortions of campaign rhetoric in state politics in recent history is Tom Coburn's ludicrous claim that U.S. Rep. Brad Carson is a liberal.
		Carson is so conservative that, frankly, many progressives and liberals in the state are having a difficult time supporting him.

	Carson Clothespin: Today's Count

		If you ARE voting for Carson, this is your opportunity to let him know that his wishy-washy stance on monumental social issues is anything but appealing and if he gets your vote, he should be prepared to stand for the issues that directly affect our generation.
		Carson, you are not a faithful and true representative of the values and ideals that me and many, if not most, of my fellow Democrats share.

	'The case against Brad Carson'
		There was no (or insufficient) pressure on Carson to keep him from voting for FMA or to moderate his anti-gay rhetoric, and so we got the results of that in Carson as a candidate.
		Carson voted for FMA but did not sponsor it, nor is he actively looking to find other anti-gay laws to create.
		His Clothespins for Carson campaign recognizes that Coburn is a disaster at least two orders of magnitude worse than Carson, but that true Oklahoma progressives are distressed about having to vote for him.
