This is an open letter from the desk of Inoculation Against Idiocy to the Governor of Missouri. Mr. Blunt I have lived in this state all my life, I love this state, and I am immensely proud of it. However, I am not happy with your recent behavior of using my tax money to publish press releases which are partisan in nature. For you GOPers out here that accuse me of being a partisan I would be equally irate if Jay Nixon -assuming he wins in November- used my tax dollars for partisan purposes. Mr. Blunt, you do not have the right to use my tax money to advance your political ambitions in the manner that you did on your official website http://governor.mo.gov/cgi-bin/coranto/viewnews.cgi?id=EkkFVZyyuZcJTdDqqD&style=Default+News+Style&tmpl=newsitem and http://governor.mo.gov/cgi-bin/coranto/viewnews.cgi?id=EkkkVFulkpOzXqGMaj&style=Default+News+Style&tmpl=newsitem
Mr. Blunt in your first letter you attack and rail against ACORN, which is responsible for ensuring that the poor and minorities -I know I know you are a Republican and I am aware that the GOP laments brown people and poor people having suffrage- are registered to vote. Sir, your political partisanship is disgusting and the desire to deny people the right to vote is unconstitutional and unconscionable. In addition you criticized Obama for his desire to use the state legal system to prosecute those who made libelous statements against him but you failed to mention that McCain has sought the same protection. Furthermore, while you talk about Obama’s “truth squads”, you fail to mention that:
The “truth squads” are not tax payer supported, and that while there will be law enforcement agents on the “truth squads” they will be in a completely off duty and very voluntary manner with no prosecuting authority.
You also neglected to mention that:
Frank Donatelli, deputy chairman of the Republican National Committee, held a conference call with reporters Saturday morning while touring the state’s offices for GOP presidential candidate John McCain.
In a telephone interview with the News-Leader, Donatelli admitted the Democratic prosecutors “haven’t specifically said” they would use their prosecutorial powers on Obama’s behalf. . . . and . . . .that “a review of McCain’s own truth squads shows he has a district attorney from New Mexico and the South Carolina attorney general ready to respond to misleading ads from Obama and Democrats in their respective states.”

Mr. Blunt, you do have the right to support the candidate(s) of your choice in the same manner that all Missourians do. However, you do not have the right to spend my money to advance your political agenda and/or candidates. Please cease and desist from this outrageous behavior.
Sincerely,
An Extremely Concerned Missourian

So ACORN is free of guilt in your book, then? So registering “voters” in Nevada using the names of the ENTIRE Dallas Cowboys team isn’t outrageous? Or is that still “disgusting” in your book? All Blunt is doing is pointing out that this fraud is rampant and persistent, and it’s not a partisan issue. But, clearly, if this kind of fraud helps out the Dems, it’s all ok, right?

I never said Acorn was free of guilt Mr. Bogans. Registering the Dallas Cowboys is criminal. However it is abundantly clear that you cannot keep up with the conversation because this thread is about Blunt using my tax money for his political objectives. That is the sole issue of this posts and even pointing this out has a political objective. No, fraud is bogus regardless of what party does it, but Mr. Blunt does not address the GOP fraud that is going on at the sime time.
