I’ve been spending a lot of time in mid MO of late and I’m afraid I’m really not hopeful about REAL conservatives in elective office around here. My take is that this is a Republican state, but not so much a conservative one. Maybe just what I’ve seen in the government-heavy Columbia/Jeff City area has clouded things, but this place never met a make-work project it didn’t like and everything here is corrupt as the day is long as far as I can see.
Makes me long for being back home in upstate SC, I can tell you that much.
Come on down to the Missouri Ozarks,
Taxes are low, cost of living is low, plenty of deer and panfish, we’re a bit warmer, and, when it gets really hot and sultry, throw yourself in the Lake of the Ozarks.
Did I mention low taxes ?
