A few weeks ago I wrote this about the GOP’s consultant class: can I just say what a bunch of charlatans and grifters most GOP consultants are. We have all these GOP Super PACs sucking up millions and millions of dollars to help Mitt Romney and now in the summer lull? Nothing. But I bet some consultants are getting rich. It’s like the GOP consultant | Read More »

This is not the first time the Democrats have gone this route in this election season. This may, however, be the most desperate attempt. And where Democrats are doing this in multiple places around the country, we can be sure they have hit on this as a theme within their world view. The theme, of course, being that all Catholics are pedophiles. This time, in | Read More »
This is getting hypocritically ridiculous. You probably don’t know who Kris Kobach is, but you need to. Kobach is a law professor at the University of Missouri and helped put together Arizona’s immigration law. You know that law right? The one a majority of Americans agree with? Well, to heck with tenure, folks are out to get Kobach. Chris Salazar, UMKC alum, said, “As an | Read More »
“Barack Obama is now a social pariah and most Democrats and he knows it.” Here’s a dirty little secret in American politics. A lot of the reporters who cover politics don’t know the first thing about politics. They cannot read the tea leaves. They do not know how. They do not even try. That is why men like Larry Sabato, Chuck Todd, etc. have become | Read More »
Roy Blunt has worked his way into the top ranks of Republican leadership in Congress. He has been trusted by Republican Presidents for many years with candid advice. He is relied on even now by Republicans in Congress as they struggle to keep the team together in opposition to the siren calls of compromise with the Democrats. More critically, Congressman Blunt is now seeking to | Read More »

Here’s what a reporter on Fox-2 KTVI in St. Louis says: Michelle Anselmo: Opposition groups were online telling everybody there would be a show of force coming out here tonight to show their disgust really with the President’s healthcare reform plan. Then late this afternoon the Democrats issued their own press releases telling anyone who supported this plan to come out. Got that? Anti-Obamacare citizens | Read More »
Just got off the phone with Roy Blunt. He was calling about the Department of Homeland Security report and called it “stupid.” He said he is pretty offended by it and we “cannot let the government get away without paying a price in public opinion,” which, he said, is really about all the Obama administration cares about right now. He said Missouri made the same | Read More »
This is un-freakin’-believable. Holy cow. NPR interviews Congressman Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) about the Congressional Black Caucus’s visit to Cuba. Brown’s comments have gotten little play and, in fact, what should have been the money quote is totally ignored by NPR. At the 2 minute mark in the interview, the reporter Melissa Block asks, “Well, Congressman, you well know that supporters of current Cuba policy, supporters | Read More »
Well I’m really flattered. I was headed out of a meeting on the Hill and an unknown number showed up on my cell phone. I usually don’t answer unknown numbers, but I did. I’m glad I did. The other day I wrote that people in Missouri, including people who had given Steelman large sums for her governor’s race, were calling to tell me she is | Read More »
Sarah Steeleman is thinking of getting into the Missouri Senate race against Roy Blunt. Those two do not like each other one bit. Steeleman ran for Missouri Governor and lost in the primary.

With news that Kit Bond will not seek re-election to the Senate, we need a candidate. I think I could get behind Sarah Steelman for the Senate. Friends of mine describe her as the Sarah Palin of Missouri — and they mean it as a sincere, conservative compliment. Kimberley Strassel wrote about her during her gubernatorial run. Her sin is in fact to belong to | Read More »
Kay Barnes, the Democrat running against Scott Graves in Missouri’s 6th Congressional District, got a debate question about the Fairness Doctrine. I guarantee you she’d be in line to vote for the Fairness Doctrine even though she sure as heck has no idea what it is. Because, you know, it’s fair. Listen to her: H/t to Insider Online.
