Not for Koster who voted to cut Healthcare to poor children in Missouri and did flip flop parties for self gain . Also takes $$$from a cetain educational concerned multi–millionaire who wants School vouchers…No No Not Koster for this family and Democrat.

Why did Koster vote to kick 100,000 people off health care? If only he hadn’t.

Who called anyone “stupid”, Jack? I just said people do stupid things. Big difference. Even Albert Einstein and Jonas Salk made mistakes.

And Jack, why can’t you answer my question? Why will Democrats ever support a guy who voted for Blunt’s Medicaid cuts and who supported Voter ID? Those votes and many more are part of Koster’s “experience.” You can’t have it both ways. Great, he was a prosecutor, but he also voted to take health care away from 100,000 kids. He also campaigned for Ashcroft and attacked Mel Carnahan. Maybe you don’t have an answer to this question, but Koster had better or there’s no chance he will prevail in August.

I am a moderate Democrat and I can’t support Koster because of all of his bad votes. Just too many of them. Four or five would be okay but the only thing he seems to be good on is stem cell and even Blunt was good on that.

If he stays with the party I could support him in future elections.

I haven’t focused heard much about Mr. Koster’s proposals but I think the other candidates have had a number of good proposals. Jeff Harris has said he will be a watchdog for the ethics commission, try to stop money laundering, crackdown on subprime mortgages, and advocate for open government. Margaret Donnelly has proposals on child toy safety and defrauding the elderly. If readers of this blog want to check out the candidates proposals please go to their website, compare the proposals and decide for yourself. I haven’t included Mike Gibbons because I don’ believe he has a primary opponent.

I am supporting Jeff Harrris because I worked with him in the attorney general’s office. I feel like he understands how the office works and will continue the good work that Jay has done the last 15 years.

He has been talking about a number of proposals that fit nicely in with what the office does. Some of these I am aware include expanding the no call list and enforcing and expanding the sunshine law, He has also talked about toughening the rules against CAFO’s, serving as a watchdog for the ethics commission and cracking down on predatory lending.

this is a great video that sums up Chris Koster:

Why would staunch Democrat activists (hard to believe they are Catholics), support a Republican. I don’t get it?

Jack -

I finally found you again!! I don’t know if anybody here ever checks out the Columbia Tribune blog, but Jack and I both do from time to time. A couple weeks ago, I asked Jack a very simple question and he has yet to answer. I guess because he’s been spending time throwing baseless accusations at real Democratic candidates on this blog. Probably because he supports a candidate with no legislative experience and a piss poor record as a legislator. Anyway, I’m just glad to have caught up with you, Jack.

Jack, you often talk about “experience” and how Senator Koster’s experience is more important than the other’s in the race because he was a prosecuting attorney. I and others have told you that the Attorney General does not prosecute, and that Rep. Harris’ experience fighting for hardworking Missourians in the house and as the leader of a Division of the Attorney General’s office is more relevant for a candidate for AG. So I want to give you a chance to prove me wrong. So, here’s the question, in the form of a little thought experiment to help us all understand the importance (or lack thereof) that should be attached to Sen. Koster’s prosecutorial experience:

It is the first day of the new Missouri Attorney General’s term. Suddenly, something happens that absolutely requires the AG, themselves, to call upon his or her years of prosecutorial experience. Now, Jack, tell me: what was that something that happened?

Answer me that satisfactorily, Jack (or anyone else) and it will either persuade me that you are correct that his prosecutorial experience is crucial, or it will point out the misperceptions I expect that you have about the nature of the Attorney General’s duties.

Please don’t run away again Jack - it is hard working chasing you and your lies across cyberspace.
