Blunt talks McCain, the VP, fried food, fancy shoes, Obama’s race
U.S. House Majority Whip Roy Blunt visited the Post-Dispatch and spent a good deal of time outlining the House GOP energy agenda as well as a number of political topics ranging from the vice presidential hunt to Barack Obama’s ethnicity.
Blunt sounded the Republican platform (which coincides with Sen. John McCain’s campaign promises) on energy and the economy. See video on that here.
He also talked about health care and advocated something that sounded like a guaranteed health plan using private insurers based on the model of Medicare’s prescription drug benefit.
Blunt also said rather forwardly that the United States’ insurance system should abandon the employer-based model.
He ended the talk with some political “strategery” that included his thoughts on who McCain should pick as a VP, the Dems and fried food, McCain’s expensive shoes and Obama’s race.

That’s so exciting to hear a Republican leader start to propose sensible energy solutions after all these years. I guess he’s been lisening to Sen. Obama. Talk about PC, wasn’t that a little over sensitive to say he was offended that no fried foods would be offered at the Dem’s convention? He was concerned about not seeing Sen. Obama in a suit. Isn’t that an awfully petty comment for a U.S. Senator about another?
WHAT? He can’t visualize John McCain in a suit? Didn’t Roy watch any debates? Doesn’t Roy work with John on the hill? That’s so ridiculous.
Didn’t Matt Blunt just criticze Missouri candidates for not wearing a suit and playing up “rural chic” in another post?
I should have said a member of congress shouldn’t be so petty. Shouldn’t politicians be talking about economics and not fashion?
Blah, blah, blah bulldog jawed pale male….woof!
Anybody up for a neutering before he breeds more like himself?
Yeah, Roy, let’s take away insurance and then privatize Social Security, that’s the GOP way. Anyway, could Mr. Blunt answer why he supports a candidate that is so ignorant for the highest office in America?
