A couple of stations in Columbia have pulled Judy Baker’s ad about Luetkemeyer wanting to privatize Social Security:

Seems there’s a difference between privatization and “allowing individuals to use personal accounts to invest their Social Security benefits”.

Whatever. That’s old news now. How long do you think it will take Baker’s people to get a new ad up about the fact that Luetkemeyer was the only representative in the House to vote against a bill requiring nursing homes to report abuse of elderly patients. That’s as in, 153 reps voted for HB 349 and Blaine Luetkemeyer, all by his lonesome, voted against it.

His vote probably had nothing to do with the fact that he was being paid to sit on the board of the St. Elizabeth Care Center, a for-profit nursing home. Nah, surely nothing as crass as money would motivate that vote.  More likely, he thinks it’s a good idea for helpless seniors to suffer needlessly.

Look for the new ad.

Hell, look for a Democratic rep from the Ninth come November 5th.
