As for those conservative republicans?:
…They’re pissed that Obama is president. They’re pissed that McCain isn’t. They’re pissed that Jim Talent isn’t their senator. They probably voted for George W. Bush twice (and probably his daddy twice). They’d probably be pissed if you pointed out that dubya is and was a monumental screw-up – it reminds them that they made that particular choice. They didn’t vote for Claire. They’ll never vote for Claire….
….No matter what anyone does they’ll be pissed and stay pissed. And they ain’t voting for any Democrats. Ever…
The numbers for Democrats and liberals are striking. More on that later.

There’s a lesson in here somewhere. You got to dance with them what brung you.
And yes there is a lesson – an easy lesson if she’d just pay attention.
What should grab her attention is her atrocious “independent” numbers. She may try to convince herself that Dems may disapprove of her but will still vote for her but we all know Missouri independent voters are key to any election.
Independents like politicians who stand for something – even when they might not agree with that something.
It’s really hard to tell what Claire stands for and it has been hard since she was elected.
I had such high hopes for her when she was elected and I truly wish that she could turn things around and be the DEMOCRAT that we all thought we were working to get elected.
It’s interesting that McCaskill’s numbers are dropping a lot more among independents while she’s bending over backwards to show that she is independent by occasionally casting votes against the Democratic agenda, and speaking out against climate change legislation and parts of the stimulus like Cash for Clunkers.
Clarie made a big mistake by sponsoring the senate resolution 511 falsely sanitizing John McCains POTUS eligibility (he was born in Panama, not on US soil). In that resolution (511) it states that that a natural born citizen includes a person born abroad to “citizen parents” – plural. Senator Leahy added “Because he was born to American citizens, there is no doubt in my mind that Sneator McCain is a natural born citizen. And finally the testimony of Secretary Cherthoff who was a Federal judge was also made part of the official record. He stated: My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural born citizen.
Why was it important to all who co-sponsored Senate Resolution 511 that both parents be US citizens? Why did Claire sponsor this bill and why did the senate require two citizen parents? Why does the Obama State Department continued publication of the foreign affairs manuals also acknowledge that the issue requires two US citizen parents?
Clarie looks stupid pushing Senate Resultion 511 while simultaeously backing another canididate who was a native born subject of Great Britain. She seems REALLY REALLY STUPID to independents now. Only the hardened liberals refuse to acknowledge the hypocrisy of her actions.
You are a music professor so I guess we have to understand that you don’t fully understand our constitution, common law or policy. But it is sad. Go and read fact check.org since they are the ones that posted this fact.
Again, throwing out names and labels (birthers) is why the independent voters are turning away from your movement. You only fuel my vote against your positions.
I only answered the questions posed with my opinion…..but even that had to be “corrected” but the holier than thou people who run this site. Any you wonder why people dislike you?
