Especially in recent years.<br /><br />Perhaps what annoys me the most is the demogaugery regarding earmarks and spending in Washington.<br /><br />Bet you didnt know that Roy Blunt and others in Congress tried to get "clean" spending bills through Congress - but had attachments added to them by Democrats, who passed them.<br /><br />National Journal rated Roy Blunt at 97% on fiscal issues. Kinda hard to beat.<br /><br />With that said, when was the last time you picked up the phone and talked to Roy - if you live in his district.<br /><br />If you havent, I would encourage you to do so. Dont buy the media hype sold here.Paul Sealehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07456820671323045986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16974359.post-18957930517447669762009-05-07T22:24:00.000-05:002009-05-07T22:24:00.000-05:00Thank goodness a few - a rare few - GOP members ha...Thank goodness a few - a rare few - GOP members had the guts to not go along with the Republican machine. <br />Roy Blunt has been spending like a drunken sailor in D.C. for years. Until Obama got elected, nobody said anything or protested the Republicans throwing other people's money around. <br /><br />I certainly won't consider supporting Robin Carnahan and her liberal agenda in the Senate race, so I wish there was a good, true fiscal conservative to get behind. (And no, I'm not a wild "Steelman fan", though I prefer her to Roy Blunt.) <br /><br />Honestly, I'm disappointed at some of the names on this endorsement list. As long as we keep ignoring the things that some Republicans are getting away with, we will continue to lose to traction at the federal level.<br /><br />People know we say we're about limited government and guarding tax dollars. But when we send people to Washington who say that and do something different, folks figure they might as well vote for the dog down the street!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14253450672399140700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16974359.post-25459017139245629812009-05-07T17:17:00.000-05:002009-05-07T17:17:00.000-05:00Dave,

If the House Republican's handling of federal stimulus funds is any indication, they'll likely reverse course (maybe more than once).Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830469864785826999noreply@blogger.com
