Kinder-Lager KMOX Debate
Notes from yesterday’s radio debate between Peter Kinder and Brad Lager:
“Both men were audibly angry, perhaps Lager more so, but Kinder close behind. This was not the knockout, or even the solid punch, that Lager desperately needs in St. Louis, where Kinder leads him 3-to-1. Lager never even mentioned his endorsement by Mike Huckabee, arguably his campaign’s only bright spot in a week of relentless bad media coverage and interview outings.
“In contrast, Kinder twice mentioned his endorsements by “two icons” among conservative Republicans: Rush Limbaugh and Phyllis Schlafly.
“In short, not the great day for Lager which he could have used in St. Louis, and not an unqualified smackdown for Kinder, though the more seasoned politician more than held his own.”

Getting Nasty in House 72
From Rep. Eileen McGeoghegan Facebook page:
“How low can Mary Nichols go...pretty damn low...And hey Mary I'm very proud of my paraplegic husband, not my crippled husband, crippled went out in the 80's when we became more civilized and considerate of other people's feelings. I know that's a concept that you find totally quite amazing since you have no common decency and think it's totally acceptable to make fun of people that aren't just quite up to what you perceive to be your standards.”
“Wow my opponent has stooped to new lows.. She put my severely intellectually disabled sisters' name on a piece of literature. Nothing like exploiting those that can't help themselves and putting them in harms way. May God have mercy on your soul lady because when judgement day comes you'll be getting yours. Hopefully we won't have to wait that long, God whom I fear greatly will have the last word!!! Shame, shame on you Mary Nichols!”
