No wonder Roy Blunt didn't want to debate Robin Carnahan. She kicked his butt:
Carnahan, who trails in the polls, was clearly the aggressor in the only televised exchange of the campaign, to be broadcast on KCPT tonight.Great line. Roy Blunt would never give up his taxpayer financed health care benefits. He's a fraud.
The sharpest exchange came during a discussion of health care reform. Carnahan accused Blunt of opposing the health care law because of ties to lobbyists.
“I think people should have access,” she said. “They should have the same access you have as a member of Congress. So I think if you want to repeal health care reform and let insurance companies go back to their worst abuses, Congressman, then you ought to repeal your own first. And man up. And do what you’re asking other people to do.”
During the debate, Blunt denied not supporting Medicare:
"I never said I was not for Medicare," said Blunt, later telling CarnahanWrong. Blunt actually said "government should have never gotten into the health care business." He then specifically noted that government got into the business of health care "in a big way" back in 1965 with Medicare. Sure sounds like he wasn't for Medicare. But, you can listen to what he said here. Seriously. He totally dissed the creation of Medicare. He's a fraud and a liar.
Come on, Missouri. Don't send this corrupt liar to the Senate.
