Analysis: Will Missouri have a tea party victor?
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- It's happened in other states. Conservative Republican candidates appealing to tea party activists have defeated party-establishment candidates. But can it happen in Missouri?

State Sen. Chuck Purgason believes it can. Yet so far, there is little evidence to suggest it will.

Purgason, a Republican state lawmaker from southern Missouri, is the best-known of the eight lesser-known candidates running against the party establishment pick, U.S. Rep. Roy Blunt, in the Aug. 3 Republican primary for U.S. Senate.

Purgason seems to be a favorite among participants in the tea party, the populist movement against the Washington political establishment, big government and big spending...

If Purgason is to make a move in Missouri's U.S. Senate race, now is the time.

Purgason, the only real conservative choice. Vote Purgason.

1. Roy Blunt isn't conservative enough for these people?
WTF?

I think Carnahan will probably win this race no matter who the Republicans nominate.

3. Blunt voted for TARP
if the tea party is strong in Missouri he could be in for one hell of a fight.

2. So what, these teabaggers are just Republicans trying to rebrand their failed ideologies.
Oh but this is an independent grassroots movement, right? Bullshit, they're still trying to sell all the sinister old garbage they've been pushing for 30 years. They don't want to have to answer for the Bush years, so they're pretending to be a new 'movement'.

They want us to believe they're not part of that bunch that put Junior and his GOP lapdog Bush leage congressional majority in there to wreak their havock. Nossir, they didn't have anything to do with that. All they did was vote them in. They're too chickenshit to compare their actual results with those of human beings. Fuck them all, the ones who still admit they're Republicans, and the liars who are pretending they are not.
