Jim Talent - Ineffective in the Senate
One of Jim Talent's big selling points is that, if elected, he will work to create a health care plan that "would help lower health insurance costs and reduce the number of uninsured Missourians. His plan would allow small business people to join together nationally to sponsor affordable health insurance plans for themselves and their workers."
My question is, if this is such a good idea, and Talent is working hard for his constituents, why in the hell is he bringing it up now? He's been in a Republican-controlled Senate, with a Republican-controlled House, under a Bush White House. NOW he's finally getting around to coming up with ideas to help Missourians?!?
Talent has been part of the rubber-stamp republican majority that only does what Bush tells them to do. It's too late to start acting like you have your own ideas, Senator Talent. Where were you when we needed you?
Claire McCaskill will begin working for us, instead of backroom Republican bosses, on the day she starts. If Talent had done that, maybe he wouldn't be dreaming up pie in the sky now. He's had his chance to be a Senator, and he failed.

You definitely have a legitimate gripe here, Dan. In fact, this is probably the best argument for voting any incumbent out of office.
"Throw the bums out!"
Will Claire have to pay her taxes if she gets elected? I always feel better knowing they have to pay the same taxes when they raise mine.
On the other hand, maybe Claire could give us some tips on sheltering assets in Bermuda. Then only the unwashed masses will carry the load. Ooops! that sounds like what you would say about the Republicans.
Anonymous - Ms. McCaskill's taxes are all paid, and the Bermuda stuff are weak allegations that relate to her husband's business. Pretty impressive that the Republican smear campaigners couldn't come up with anything more interesting than that.
I think "anonymous" stole that off of an ad I just saw this morning.. Almost word for word.. I might go looking for it and post a link later.. that is too funny.
Dan and Ambitious -
You really got me there. The Democrats nailed Talent to the wall with their ads. They have established that the Conservative Republican Senator frequently voted for things our Conservative Republican President supported. Shocking. Who'd have guessed it? I'll bet Mr. Talent really dropped a load when he got caught on that one!
Oh, yeah. Did you say her taxes are now paid or did you say that she paid her taxes on time? . . . . . . I thought so.
