Elrod Comes Out Swinging

For many Republicans in the 7th CD they’ve been waiting for this moment. Jon Elrod has finally flexed some campaign mussel with his most recent press release slamming Andre Carson and his “DC Henchmen” for lowly desperation slide into negative attacks and illegalities.

It seems as if Andre Carson’s rhetoric has worn thin with Elrod and his campaign staff as Jon has decided to fight fire with fire and to counter Andre to a debate on the issues that face many of the senior citizen voters in Indianapolis. A bold move if you ask me since the senior vote was always in Julia Carson’s back pocket. But that may be because it wasn’t so much the seniors who were voting as it was the “volunteers” from the Democrat party who were “helping” them vote.

Jon Elrod: “Carson tactics tired and without value to voters”
Attacks by Carson on Elrod are also found to be illegal

INDIANAPOLIS – For the second time in as many weeks we have seen the Carson Campaign digress into a series of negative attacks, this time on radio, against Jon Elrod. Elrod stated earlier today from the campaign trail, “The Carson Negative Campaign Tactics are tired and without value to the voters.” In fact, some of these dirty tricks were illegal and as result landed Carson and his DC henchmen in hot water for copyright infringement.

Elrod added that people want more than platitudes and party talking points. “My campaign is going to continue to talk about job creation and how to help our senior’s age with dignity. We must come to a point in our country where we can address challenges and talk about solutions with clarity and honesty.” Elrod believes there should be no changes to our Social Security system for any American age fifty plus. Elrod understands making social security solvent is a must. Elrod also knows The United States cannot keep up with the rate of growth in entitlement programs, and as a result wants to make the necessary decisions to guarantee future generations a share of a noble social program. “There is nothing wrong with allowing a 20 year old the right to have a little more to say in where his investment dollar goes.”

Elrod also challenged Carson to spell out what changes he would make to the program. Elrod questions, “In order to keep up Carson will have to raise taxes, or push up the retirement age. Which one will it be Andre?” Elrod added he would be more than happy to have a debate on what he called “senior issues” with Andre Carson.
