From the Paper:

"McVey ran on a platform of economic growth and job creation, stating that Indiana has been sliding compared to the rest of the nation. McVey claimed that "there are many federal issues, such as funding for transportation and airport projects to changes in the tax code, which can have an impact on Indiana's economy. 'She's been in office six years... I haven't heard one word about what Carson is doing and advocating for.? McVey also cited Carson's votes against President Bush's tax cut package and against "fast-track" trade authority. McVey's views on political issues were much more conservative than Carson's. He supported an amendment that would make flag burning illegal. opposed partial-birth abortion, and supported the right to bear arms. McVey also supported Bush's policies on Iraq and taxes."
