Yeah, I’m voting age, 51 years old. Todd Akin makes votes affecting public education but doesn’t use it. That’s fine. He could send his kids to private schools, plenty within 5 miles that are nationally recognized for top results. He can afford it too. But they homeschool, proving again these bozos think they’re better than anyone else. Akin is weird and creepy. Not someone the average voter would want to drink beer with.

If Todd was really an honest representative, he’d call and have his property reassessed. After all, with Republicans, they push for more local control. Well it’s hard for the locals to control when their Congressman is kiting them on property tax.

Todd Akin is a self serving nut case. Ed, don’t challenge me. I’ve got more elected Republican friends than you’ve ever met in your life.

Fish head just explained the mentality of Todd Akin and most Republicans….”If you’re advantaged in some way, and it’s someone elses fault, don’t try to correct it or do the right thing. Just ignore it or pretend you’re stupid”.

If you give a cashier a $10 bill and she gives you change for a $20…just keep it. It’s not your responsibility to help her.

Why doesn’t the Congressman just insist on fairness and do the right thing instead of hiding under the bed when the assessors knock on the door?

Better clean up that yard comrade or someone might make an anonymous call to the Health Department.

Scott, I don’t have all the facts regarding the Akin issue, but I find your comments regarding public education to be fairly humorous. While Parkway is a good school district and perhaps “one of the best”, when you’re comparing that with other public schools throughout the nation, that doesn’t mean much. Public schools have been failing our children for over 30 years. Math, Reading, and Science scores bear that out time and time again. I don’t blame Akin for home schooling.

Suddenly, after voting for ridiculous amounts of tax breaks for the already too wealthy, voting for the deficits his great grand-children will be paying for and beyond, voting straight down the line with the GOP and Bush for every corporate tax break and limit on working people’s rights to sue and every dollar for the war in Iraq, Mr. Akin claims he’s being “fiscally responsible.”

Bollocks!

Akin is a Bush/McCain clone!

Excellent! If Akin is a Bush/McCain clone, I’ll keep supporting him!

No courage needed - no farmers in his district, nor many folks on food stamps.

Todd is not troubled about giving money to agri-business, but those people who need food? Todd says let them eat cake.

Nuts? As indicated by his Davy-Crockett-and-his-Blackberry comment, I might think so. I shudder to think about the history his kids must be learning.
