Yes, Hoover was quite the progressive. Did Blunt get his history degree from Bob Jones University?

For OTB to criticize anyone for anything is just funny. I hope his office keeps it up. Considering the hardships we’re all facing thanks to the Bush-Blunt economy, we could all use the laughs.

In total agreement Shecky. Boy blunt has no room to be critical of anything or anyone. He hasn’t a shred of credability.

‘Hardships’? Are you suffering? Why is that?

If you are working, don’t you have a skill that gets you paid well? If not, why not? How is it that Bush-Blunt kept you from doing so?

If you are NOT working why not? Did you not learn a skill that is in demand, that you can get and keep a job? If not, why not? How is it that Bush-Blunt kept you from doing so?

Gas prices? Well gee, Obamamessiah says you can’t drive where and what you want anymore so where is you beef there?

Obama is full of ideas that won’t work, change that won’t happen, and lots of inexperience which will require many cronies to fill positions. More of the same, and more likely much worse.

Sure, Hoover was a Republican and Obama is a Democrat. But a dumb idea is a dumb idea, and as any honest person will admit, stupidity isn’t an attribute on which any party holds a monopoly.

1. Gov. Blunt is responsible for the Medicaid “Reform” which left many rural Missourians without any safety net to speak of.

2. Gov. Blunt sponsored the MOHELA “Reform” which resulted in MOHELA’s running in the red since it was started.

3. Gov. Blunt has made certain that the only Missourians not suffering because of his decisions are the Blunt family and their allies. He has done this through “special interest” contracts and legislation which always seems to benefit someone in the latter two categories. Remember the ethanol legislation conveniently passed after his family lined up a processing plant?

Sounds like he is confused as to whom should be compared to Herbert Hoover.

Thank you tsquare for showing early on the campaign strategy of the Royalist Republicans — when confronted with difficult facts, change the topic.

Actually, tsquare, I have such great skills that I own my own business, have my own employees, and pull down a pretty darn good wage. I can only guess that you on the other hand must still live in your mom and dad’s basement if you haven’t noticed the out-of-control gas and food prices that are affecting pretty well everyone in this country.

What affect do you think Americans choosing to stay home instead of traveling this summer is going to do for the economy? You do know the jobless rate just spiked last month, right? You do know that employment in Missouri is soft too, right?

As an employer, I also get to face ever higher health care costs. Every year, those goes up, and Blunt and Bush haven’t proposed ANYTHING to make that better. In fact, Blunt’s cuts to Medicaid have quite likely driven up my health insurance premiums because me and my hardworking, high-skilled employees get to foot the bill for the uninsured who need emergency care. And I haven’t seen my taxes have go down at all.

I’m one of them entrepreneurs that Bush keeps saying are the drivin’ force behind our economy and job creatin’. And believe me, I’m definitely feeling the pinch and it has nothing to do with my skills, my work ethic or my personal success. So please don’t presume you are in a position to lecture me on my skills, my abilities, or my lot in life. I’m doing everything right.

As far as what “Obamamessiah” (could you have cooked up a dumber nickname?) says I can drive, I’d gladly trade in one of my cars for an electric vehicle if a family-sized one existed. I’d gladly power that car with solar panels on my home’s roof if they were affordable or if some of those subsidies going to Exxon went to consumers like me instead. Or, I’d gladly fill my tank with domestically produced ethanol if 8 years of Bush energy policy had made that a viable and affordable option. If Brazil can be 100% energy independent, then why isn’t the good old U.S. of A?

Don’t blame me for the energy crisis, and don’t blame me for the cost of food. My kids need milk, and I have to drive to buy it. Unless of course you want to blame me for not owning a cow.

Obama wants to require that all households conserve energy by setting the thermostat to 79 degrees in the Summertime as starters and if you use too much energy you will be penalized financially and criminally. Lets just move to Hugo Chavez territory now.

McCain wants to require that all households pay at least $9 per gallon for gasoline by the end of his first term as starters, and if you refuse to pay, he’ll send you to Iraq for 100 years. Let’s just move to Disneyland now.
