Guys... do me a favor? DU this poll about Sen. Kit Bond (R - Missouri)...

[Darkhawk32]

Some folks want Kit Bond's name all over the University of Missouri-Columbia's new Life Sciences building which was funded by pork spending from Senator Bond.

I say batsqueeze to that. He didn't do anything other than raid the federal coffers to pay for it. It took nothing special to do other than being a "team player" for Frist, Delay and Co.

Vote this poll "NO" please!!!

Thanks.

12. I recall a news story back when he was Gov

He was criticized when he was approached at home by a member of Mizzou's marching band during a fundraising drive. He told the kid "I'm not donating, I didn't graduate from Mizzou". He was governor at the time.

16. I don't remember that since I came to Missouri back in '83.

I was 10 years old and Bond was out of office by '84 (Jan '85).

Gee, Voinovich & DeWine don't do that..

Kit must be facing a tough re-election race. When he was governor he was very unpopular for cutting funds to higher education.

[Darkhawk32]

26. No... we're stuck with Bond until 2012. Just got reelected last November.

Missouri Democratic Party threw up a sacrificial lamb who did no real campaigning.

But if it happens, you can always make a point of pride of calling it by its former name, like I do with National (now Reagan National) Airport in Washington.

"Bond rejected the suggestion that he voted for a pay increase, characterizing it as a cost-of-living adjustment for lawmakers.

"I believe it makes no sense, unless it's part of a major reduction in many areas, to deny those members of Congress who may be on tight budgets, supporting a family, the ability to keep pace with the cost of goods they buy," Bond said.

Bond also said denying lawmakers a pay increase "will have little impact on the deficit."
