All Hat, No Cattle

In Missouri's 7th District, one Congressional candidate is finding it hard to explain a number of contradictory positions. These issues are being explored on a new website called Billy Long: All Hat No Cattle.  Slick Billy has made it his job during this election to appear as a Washington outsider who wants serious change. Unfortunately for voters, this is nothing more than a carefully crafted campaign slogan. 

On the issue of government waste, Billy campaigns against wasteful earmarks but at the same time won't commit to not accepting them. Another issue that's come to light is Billy's cozy relationship with career politician and pork magnet Roy Blunt. Long donated $1,000.00 to Roy's campaign after speaking out publicly against Congressmen like Blunt who voted for the Wall Street bailout. 

Values voters are starting to think twice about supporting Long as well. Slick Billy's love for gambling has been well documented and runs antithetical to his position as a representative of the Ozark's religious community. Ask Billy if his love of gambling is the kind of family value he’ll take to Washington.
