In the recent Springfield debate, Talent attacked McCaskill relentlessly, questioning her integrity and whether or not she pays her taxes. McCaskill, however, refuses to follow him down that path.
"This is just about smear," McCaskill added. "I will not go there with Sen. Talent. I will never attack his family, and I think Missourians need to put their foot down and say if we're going to change Washington, we're going to change the way these campaigns are being run."Note that Talent's version of "changing Washington" has nothing to do with actually changing Washington; he just cites some legislation he was involved in that the general public would support.
Talent said the election should be about changing Washington, and asserted: "I've done that." He cited legislation requiring greater use of renewable fuels and cracking down on methamphetamine ingredients, among other things.
During the debate, Talent's attacks used a method recently discussed on The Daily Show, in which one simply states something they want to present like it's fact in the form of a question. It therefore isn't incorrect if it's untrue because you are asking a question, but it still puts the question on everyone's mind. His was regarding whether or not McCaskill pays her taxes (actually, more along the lines of whether or not her husband pays his own), saying "We have reason to believe that maybe she and her husband haven't paid all of them".
Well, I have my own allegations of Talent. Does Jim Talent have a mind of his own, or is he just an unasking, brainwashed, robotic rubber stamp for the Bush Administration? We have reason to believe that he does not think for himself and is therefore not a good senator for the state of Missouri.
