Carnahan has got to be one of the ugliest people in America today.

I am from Rolla and went to high school with Russ and Robin Carnahan. They, like their father, are party puppets who play politics with fast and loose grasps of the facts. Those who know the Carnahans the best -- their friends and neighbors in Phelps County -- voted against Mel in all state and national elections.

Any person who tries to claim that people of their ilk are honest public servants are clouded in their thinking (or worse, like SuperLiberal).

According to Fox News? What, the Tooth Fairy wasn't available for comment? Personally, I admire a person who does not suffer fools. Did the reporter remember to ask for a copy of Rep. Carnahan's birth certificate as well? I only wish Harry Truman was alive today. He would have just the right words for today's Missouri Republican Party as he did for the GOP of his day and they wouldn't be sweet.

Amen.

Jubb3500 has the most honest truest statement on here and some ignorant corporate puppet marks it as spam. The Nazis tried to fool the people and conceal the truth too. So whos the real nazis now?

[TheSuperLiberal]

You're the crazy one if you think there isn't a panel of people with the health ins. company's that already make decisions on your health. If your employer has a health insurance plan you can't change your ins. company. You will have MORE choices with the govt. plan. Why do you think they call it PUBLIC OPTION. Yours is really the most ignorant comment I've read all week. Sorry but TRUE.

[Scanman22]

Yes, I love it when the government knows what is best for me! I hope one day they can tell me when to wake up, what to eat for breakfast, where to work, what my pay will be, and when to go to sleep after my curfew!

You are crazy! Why do you want a panel of people to get involved with your personal life? I want my freedom of choice. So that way if I hate my insurance co. then I can just pick another. But with gov. care, that is not an option! Plus then they will try to get socialized everything!

[TheSuperLiberal]

Good for Russ. I for one would get tired of telling the willfully ignorant that you're just trying to do something for their own good.
