Just another story detailing the litany of lies from
Cal Cunningham's campaign for U.S. Senate. As you might have heard, Senator Burr missed a crucial vote this week on the $15 billion jobs bill that passed yesterday. (FWIW: It was a process vote, he voted "yes" on the final bill.)
That was when
Cal Cunningham LEAPED into action. In a move I'm sure had nothing to do with building his email list,
Cal Cunningham blasted out the following message...
Thousands of unemployed and underemployed North Carolinians would give anything for a good-paying job, yet Richard Burr won't even bother to show up for his own. Instead, he decided to hold a kick off event for his reelection campaign, where he told supporters that jobs are his number one priority...
Please e-mail Senator Burr to ask him to support legislation to create and restore American jobs -- or if he even plans on showing up for the final vote on the current jobs bill.
Fair enough, and it sounds good and all, but
Cal Cunningham shouldn't be casting the first stone on this one. Years ago in the State Senate,
Cal Cunningham had a bit of an attendance problem. I spent some time and dug up his attendance.
In his one term in the legislature...
-- Cal Cunningham missed a 172 votes (that's a lot)
-- Cal Cunningham didn't show up for 25 days in August of 2002
-- Cal Cunningham was paid $2,600 of taxpayer monies for his missing 25 days
-- Cal Cunningham was made aware of this error, and refused to return the money even after a fellow Senator made the same error and promptly returned the money

Just another example of the kind of Senator
Cal Cunningham will be.
Bueller? Bueller?
