Missouri Governor Matt Blunt is living up to his surname. The straight-talking governor has charged that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has made use of Missouri law enforcement officials to, “threaten and intimidate his critics.”
In a press release, Gov. Blunt said:
“St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign.
“What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.
“This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights. The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily conversation about the election.
“Barack Obama needs to grow up. Leftist blogs and others in the press constantly say false things about me and my family. Usually, we ignore false and scurrilous accusations because the purveyors have no credibility. When necessary, we refute them. Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts – not a free society.”
Yup, you’re reading that right. If you can’t see the truth about Barack Obama after this, you may need to update your Lasik procedure.

The state of Missouri is looking to take the lead in enacting measures to prevent voter fraud in elections. This week, the state is expected to debate and likely enact a measure that would put before Missouri voters a ballot initiative that would require proof of citizenship in order to vote in elections held in Missouri, whether local, statewide or national.
The proposal makes sense, which is why liberals are dead-set against it. Voting rights in America are extened only to US citizens, so if one is not a US citizen, they ought not be allowed to vote. Nothing could be simpler or more logical.
So naturally, the liberal establishment media, led by the New York Times, is leading the charge to embarss the hell out of Missouri and any Missourian who supports the measure by implying the state and supporters of the measure are backward hicks who don’t like anyone who isn’t a WASP. The charge is also being falsely made that the measure would disenfranchise legal voters.
Missouri isn’t the only state considering such a measure; similar bills are in front of 19 state legislatures, with at least six states likely to pass the measure; buy only Missouri’s would take effect in time for the 2008 election. Missouri, a state in which there was much alleged voter fraud in St. Louis and Kansas City, where there are high concentrations of illegals, could be affected in terms of whether it goes red or blue in 2008 by the passage of this measure.
So get out your party invitations and hope that Missouri leads the way in preventing voter fraud.
