In a last-ditch bid to hang onto the Congressional seat he has held for the past 28 years, U.S. Rep. John Spratt is running a pair of “robo calls” telling voters that his Republican opponent Mick Mulvaney stole $30 million from them and wants to raise their grocery taxes.
Ironic, isn’t it? This coming from a guy who has spent more than $4.6 trillion since becoming Chairman of the U.S. Budget Committee four years ago … money that’s being ripped off from your kids and grandkids.
Anyway, unlike Spratt’s record deficits, none of the charges against Mulvaney are true – but with less than 24 hours before voters go to the polls, it’s unlikely that there is any recourse for the fiscally-conservative State Senator.
In addition to these robotic calls, red-and-white anti-Mulvaney signs have been popping up throughout the district – signs that look eerily similar to the red-and-white signs that attacked Mulvaney two years ago in his State Senate race against Democrat Mandy Powers-Norrell.
“Ban Abortion: Make Raped Women Have Babies,” one of those signs read.
Frankly, this sort of crap is exactly why Spratt must go. Having sold his soul to Washington (and left his district a wreck), he’s now lying through his teeth in a desperate effort to cling to power.
