Roe Loses - AGAIN


Who does anonymous hatchet jobs? Who does sleazy robocalls? Who loses with more and more regularity? Jeff Roe.

Jeff Roe is the Karl Rove for Congressman Sam Graves. The dirty tricks, the spreading of rumors (like Rove planting the rumor in the S.C. presidential primary 8 years ago that McCain had a love child), the game playing - all indications of Roe. Well, according to Prime Buzz Blog, Jeff Roe has being doing it again in the KC Bus Tax Renewal. And, to make it uglier, he slams Mayor Kay Barnes just for fun.

I'm glad that the Bus Tax Renewal passed. It passed in the Northland, where Jeff Roe blasted Kay. Jeff Roe's tactics have grown old. Jeff's school yard tactics fail in the Northland, just look at Councilman Russ Johnson's huge victory despite Roe's last minute anonymous robocalls. Congressman Graves gives Roe his legitimacy. Once the head is cut off this fall by Kay Barnes, the beast will die.

Come on, Pat didn't do anything in the Brooks campaign, not even sleaze. One robocall would have been enough to beat the Funk.

Why did Calvin Williford, Mike Sanders' pet, hire Jeff Roe to libel Phil LeVota in a Lee's Summit municipal judge race?

LOL. You Levota's are so obsessed with Mike Sanders that it makes me laugh. I get it that you are looking for an excuse as to why you got steam-rolled in your Lee's Summit election, but did it ever cross your mind that maybe you are just a bad candidate, Phil? Sometimes the blame for our failures is looking back at us in the mirror.

Because Paul/Phil have been in a fight with Mike for a long time. Because Phil, while employed by Mike, was conducting political work on behalf of Wheeler (while being funded by a federal grant "Hatch Act"). Because Mike's mother in law is being challenged for a democrat committeewoman spot by Phil's wife. Because Phil/Paul are doing everything they can to undercut Mike. Because Lee's Summit Judge Tobin was a real war hero that was doing a great job and all the lawyers got behind a fair judge.

Did Levota really only get 35% of the vote after spending almost $50,000 on a municpal seat? You gotta be kidding me!

My, the real Stephen Bough, response to this is I don't know who hired who to do what. It is very clear that 1) i sign my name to stuff and 2) I'm no fan of Jeff Roe. This post is about Roe losing the bus tax race. I'm not going to respond to questions that include calling Calvin "a pet."

All I know is Levota was a real sleazeball in that municipal election, accusing Tobin of being "corrupt" for taking contributions from lawyers, etc.

I saw some of the stuff he sent out (I also received a robocall from Phil alleging that the judge "ought to be in jail"). This campaign ought to be exhibit A as to why judges should NOT be elected. Accusing a sitting judge of taking bribes in a campaign mailer is pretty darn bad. Candidates running for a judgeship either ought not to be allowed to campaign that way, or the positions ought to be part of something like the Missouri Plan (The issue with Missy Howard should not be lost on us as well). Perhaps the CCP can take a position on municipal judgeships? Just a thought.
