The only Missouri Congressman who can out-conservative the former DeLay-era Republican whip is Todd “Davy Crockett’s Blackberry” Akin (whose #5 makes him the KU of Conservative House Republicans, always at the top and to the right).
We all look forward to the explanation of how someone who is so far to the right that he needs binoculars to see the middle will be a good Senatorial representative for one of the most purple states in the nation.
two of the top 20 lost in 2008 (Bill Sali and Chris Cannon), so Blunt can keep moving to the right.
And, 4 of the 10 least conservative House Republicans are not with us in the 111th (Ramstad, Shays, Porter, and Gilchrist).
