I agree. The state of Missouri has enough problems right now that going after this "Beat Me in St. Louis" is a ridiculous waste of time and resources.
Loudon ought to quit giving it free publicity. Maybe if he was a little more focused he could have gotten his application in on time to run for County Executive of St. Louis county. The fool waited till the last day and then failed to file when his pregnant wife went into labor.
Senator Louden is no "fool". I have known John since he was eighteen and a fool he is not. I wish I had been half the conservative at eighteen that he was then. While this may be a little bit grandstanding, John has never shunned from being outspokenly conservative.
