Regardless your long tirade misses the point of being a good legislator completely -- you are judging by the number of bills submitted, co sponsored, etc. For me I want someone who sponsors little if anything, we have more than enough laws on the books now (lawyers love to pass bills) If you study the bills and them being made into Statutes we can use less and we need legislators to go thru the statutes and get rid of ones they don't need. As an example Griesheimer (who I would never vote for) pushed thru bills we don't need. I spent some time studying the statutes on the pay of county commissioners and there are three that are somewhat similar but also somewhat contradictory. Pray tell me why these weren't made into one logical one? A final word for prayer for the family of Dave Schatz who just won his primary, with the tragic death of his son. They being a good Christian family know their son Daniel is now in heaven with our Lord Jesus. Art LeBeau, a strong constitutionalist, Villa Ridge George – I am not going to check all your references as I did vote for and supported Purgason, I am not a fan of Blunt’s whatsoever.

If you truly go through Purgason's state congressional record you will find that throughout his career it appears that he has been self-serving by introducing legislation that benefits him directly. It is common knowledge that Chuck Purgason operates an 800-acre hunting preserve. He raises Quail & Pheasants (wildlife). He also owns a calf/cow business. He is the Owner/Founder of Ozark Wings Hatchery/Hunting Preserve Calf/Cow Farm. If he is against term limits, then why did Purgason sponsor a bill (SJR 46) in 2008 requesting that term limits be extended from 8 to 12 years in each house? (Added note: During his first 7 years in the State house he sponsored/cosponsored only 8 pieces of legislation. It wasn't until 2004 ,i.e., election year, did he start presenting legislation at more than 1 bill a year.). On Purgason's website he states:. "I believe tax credits are one way that government picks winners and losers in a free market system……….. but to allow government to give special favors and monetary advantages is not a level playing field." His record will show that many times Chuck Purgason has introduced and re-introduced legislation that attempted to give businesses like his tax credits, tax breaks, waiving of permits, and exemptions from current health,zoning laws and the paying of sales tax. All you would need to do is look up SB428 (2007) at the Missouri Senate website. It is a bill that is has been tailored-made for an owner of hatchery/hunting preserve/ calf/cow operation. I wonder if Purgason has filed a single written report stating his personal or private interest in a bill that might benefit him personally prior to passing foward any of the many bills in question. Per the Missouri revised Statute Chapter 105 Public Officers and Employees--Miscellaneous Provisions-Section 105.461, he would have been required to do so. On Blunt's website you find... Blunt taking credit for leading the charge on health care. Of the 13 bills he listed as "his" plan, he only sponsored two. Many of the remaining bills he did not co-sponsor until 3-8 month after the bill was introduced. This congressional session (111th) Blunt has only sponsored only 7 bills and co-sponsored 245 bills. The average for the 111th Session is 18 sponsored and 325 bills co-sponsored by the rest of the House members. Missouri is getting on the average 25% less representation than the other 49 states. If he is leading the charge then he is doing it from the rear. At the state level, Purgason faired even worse. He sponsored or co-sponsored only 10 bills combined during this year session while the Senate members’ average was just under 25 bills combined. In Purgason, his district and the state of Missouri had a senator operating at a 40% clip of average. Granted sponsoring bills are only a part of being an effective legislator. But both candidates claim they are most qualified to represent and lead Missouri. Based on their effort in introducing legislature, they should both add most-qualified time clock-puncher to their resumes. Both Purgason and Blunt Fail as Tea Party Candidates

At my age of 76 and having studied some writing and speech making years ago along with some grammar, I just don't quite follow, exactly what you wish to expound. Always write on a blog such as this, so that we of a simple mind (me) can fathom what you are saying. Perhaps I need to go back for a refresher course.

Have you stopped to think about that? Don't bite your nose of to spite your face. Fact is, Purgason would alienate moderate and independent voters and thus, lose to Robin. Roy will vote the way you want a lot more than Robin. That's the issue at the heart of this. Roy is our best shot at getting a conservative voice in the Senate. There is too much at stake this time. Remember Perot and Steelman. What do you guys plan to accomplish with this? Have you stopped to think about that? Don’t bite your nose of to spite your face.
