Area Preppers

Success! Already getting over three thousand paranoid temper tantrum signatures.
So, do the out of state signers get to vote in Missouri if this gets on the ballot here? Think about that for a minute.

General Colin Powell is a man many people in both parties admire and have a great respect for. He supported and voted for Obama in 2008 and he is doing it again in 2012:
"I think we ought to keep on the track that we are on."

Claire McCaskill's campaign released three ads today going after Todd Akins' "Legitimate Rape" comments very directly:

Apparently Mitt Romney's campaign can't manage the debate expectations game very well. They let slip that Willard has been preparing some debate "zingers". Twitter denizens have been obliging with suggestions.

Todd Akin spoke at locally organized open candidate forum in downtown Clinton, Missouri this evening. From his campaign it was advertised as one of the stops on his bus tour across the state.

Conducted by University of Texas sociologist Mark Regnerus, the National Family Structures Study has been used by opponents of same-sex marriage to suggest that the children of same-sex couples fare poorly on a number of issues including relationships, abuse, and poverty.
But that’s not what the study actually says. Regnerus’ study compared children from families headed by married, heterosexual parents to children who were raised in families where one parent had a same-sex relationship at some point. The vast majority of the children whose parents had a same-sex relationship were either born out of wedlock or came from a “traditional family” that experienced a divorce. Critics say that comparison is unfair because it compares broken homes to married ones.

"While he is a pleasant and sincere man, his ideas are not pleasant for most Missouri families," says Claire McCaskill of her opponent Todd Akin. Filmed by Jerry Schmidt.
