And by the way, he supports the Fair Tax.
Time to pull a Marco Rubio in the “Show Me” state...
Fair Tax is a lousy, lousy idea. It punishes those who can least afford it. Blunt is electable and has won state-wide elections before. And he can raise enough money to possibly beat the Democratic-money machine that includes the likes of Al Franken and Soros. Carnahan is a tough cookie to beat and she would beat any lesser candidate than Blunt in a nano-second.
I personally don’t know anything about these guys. But there is no victory in electing a Rino. If that is what he is and he is the one on the ticket then withhold your vote on that race. Don’t buy into the lessor of two evils argument ever again. That is exactly how we ended up where we are today. It time to break that cycle, and to send the right message to the RNC and to the people that conservatives won’t fall for it anymore. And that conservatives stand for principles. At some point that will pay off big.
Also, Dr. Schaaf is running for an open State Senate seat, and could use some support. (see sig)
Dear sir, here is a Missouri thread for your possible ping.

I live in Missouri. Take a look at Roy Blunt’s voting record before you call him a Rhino.
He votes 99% CONSERVATIVE. Ok, he may miss the mark once in a great while but he is just as conservative as Purgason is. I am an independent. He has my vote.

Low volume ping list
FReepmail me to be on, or off, this list.
Heading off to check out the Conservative in this race and see what I can do to help him out!
Don’t know anything about Purgason. Know a little about
Roy Blunt. Had a run-in or two with him back in 1990 over a noxious thing called the “Natural Streams Act”. Remember that? Prop. A, Gen. election of 1990. I pounded a hole about a foot deep in then-Sec. of State Roy Blunt’s desk trying to convince him that that obscenity was not a statutorial proposal, but was, in fact a thing which would have abrogated, violated or modified several parts of the state Constitution, as well as violating the U. S. Constitution. His response, “the people want it.” I’ll vote for Roy if he gets the nomination, but I may hold my nose.......
Tell me what Chuck Purgason’s (I had to keep checking the spelling since nobody has ever heard of him) lifetime record is? Oh yeah, he doesn't have one! He can say anything he wants but it doesn't mean crap. He's an unknown and unelectable. I'm sure that won't stop you from pissing into the wind though so go ahead.
If this state would elect Robin Carnahan’s momma to be in the Senate, replacing the GREAT John Ashcroft for no better reason than they felt sorry for her because Mel died then we need to bring our A game to the November election. Now maybe Roy Blunt is an A- or a B+. Regardless though he is a pretty dependable conservative vote and has the organization and skills to beat Carnahan.
If your candidate is good enough to win the GOP nomination that's great! I'll vote for him, gladly! Because taking the nomination from Blunt would be a pretty amazing feat and I seriously doubt your guy has a prayer in hell.
Last of all don't be one of those whiners who goes, “Well the press won't cover him because he's a REAL conservative”. Cream rises to the top. Let's see it happen.
Chuck needs to be more vocal, make more appearances and take more public positions. The last thing we need is a Blunt RINO rerun in the senate.
