 press@edmartinformissouri.com 314-256-1776 (Missouri) - May 14, 2012 – While Ed Martin was at the Newton County Fairgrounds on Saturday listening to the concerns of local farmers about the Obama administration's intrusive acts, Obama's Lawyer Chris Koster was meeting with Democrat party insiders and attacking Ed Martin for running for Attorney General. "When Chris Koster left the Republican party in 2007 to run for office in Obama's Democrat party, he switched positions on the Second Amendment, life, illegal immigration and and he ultimately supported Barack Obama for president", said Ed Martin. "As he attacks candidates for running for office, Koster himself is taking about his next race for Governor in 2016, even as he fails to answer Missourians' questions on whether he supports Obama's switch to support same-sex marriage. Politicians like Koster and his boss Obama will say anything to stay in power but Missourians want an AG who will stand up and fight against Obama and obamacare and give our state a brighter future."

(Missouri) – May 14, 2012 – While Ed Martin was at the Newton County Fairgrounds on Saturday listening to the concerns of local farmers about the Obama administration’s intrusive acts, Obama’s Lawyer Chris Koster was meeting with Democrat party insiders and attacking Ed Martin for running for Attorney General.

“When Chris Koster left the Republican party in 2007 to run for office in Obama’s Democrat party, he switched positions on the Second Amendment, life, illegal immigration and and he ultimately supported Barack Obama for president”, said Ed Martin. “As he attacks candidates for running for office, Koster himself is taking about his next race for Governor in 2016, even as he fails to answer Missourians’ questions on whether he supports Obama’s switch to support same-sex marriage. Politicians like Koster and his boss Obama will say anything to stay in power but Missourians want an AG who will stand up and fight against Obama and obamacare and give our state a brighter future.”

Todd voted against TARP, stimulus, Obamacare and many more left leaning legislation. Todd Akin is the picture of a tea party candidate. He has my vote. Disappointed Martin would have allowed them to stop there in the 1st place considering they were supporting Steeleman. I always thought Ed as a for Todd Akin guy.

Up until recently she didn't seem to be too interested in much of anything that didn't get her national attention or a pat on the head from the "O" administration. If for no other reason, her support of "O" care is enough for me to vote against her. Of course, there is that town hall where she showed us all how superior she was to the everyday citizen of Missouri. I think it was in Cape Girardeau during the "O" care flap. Talked to the folks attending like they were children, as I recall. That should be enough for anyone to vote against her in the fall. That showed me what she really thinks of the voters of Missouri. Typical liberal/progressive attitude of "we know what is best for you". Time for Claire to come home and stay away from the People's business.

They keep making record profits while we keep hurting at the pump. They should help us. They are sure making enough money off us. One reason gas prices are so high, adding to profits, is Iran's threat to close the Strait of Hormuz due to fear we will bomb them based partly on Republican threats.

This goes hand in hand with the thinking that if you just tax companies more everything will "work out" because after all, companies that make profits are bad and only those who would go bankrupt without government subsidy are worthy. Does no one have the ability to see that WE ARE the government and our money is taxed away and given to such firms as Solyndra which then go bankrupt? Meanwhile, oil companies must produce a product which is heavily taxed already and then meet the ever increasing regulation of the EPA. This is what causes fuel shortages and high prices.
