Congressman Roy Blunt (R-MO)...hypocrite supreme

[SHRED]

Why do some people vote for these types?
:shrug:

"...Congressman Roy Blunt (R-MO) saying that government should have never gotten into the health care business. Amazing really. Roy Blunt is a federal employee who's health care for him and his family is completely paid by tax payer money. His very own health care plan is the government getting into the health care business. If you pay attention to what he's saying, it's that government shouldn't have started medicare and medicaid. Well, then, it's perfectly acceptable for government to have started his health care plan but not a plan that covers other people. That's the whole point to every Republican/conservative plan. They aren't against government funded anything. They're against anything that might provide anything they have to other people. "

1. I see his district is southwest Missouri

My daughter and SIL lived there for a while. WOW - scared me to visit them there. They finally moved because they could not stand the mentality there.

3. Springfield's not all that bad

There are some nice folks there. There are lots of megachurch loonies as well, but they are easy to avoid: just go to the library.

2. Of course Mr. Blunt might be happy to give up his health care as well

is he personally wealthy?
