Conservative-Majority would like to thank one of our readers, Angel, for bringing this story to our attention. This particular story focuses upon my former state (Missouri) and a Republican from the Southeast Missouri region.
The individual I am speaking of, House Speaker Rod Jetton, was on a statewide tour with Missouri Governor Matt Blunt and Senate President Pro Tem Michael Gibbons promoting Republican legislative measures as well as candidates for the upcoming November election. Jetton made a comment that sparked anger in the hearts and minds of many Democrats. Our sympathies go out to those offended, whah, whah, whah!
Jetton remarked that, “Democrats don’t have a problem during the day because they don’t have jobs…Republicans work. It’s a little harder for them.”
Now we watch the local Democrats jump on the smear tactic bandwagon and attempt to bring down Jetton for his comments. Jetton’s Democratic opponent in the 156th District Missouri House race, Michael Winder, said, “The statement shows Jetton is out of touch with voters.” We were also blessed to hear from Democratic House leader Jeff Harris, “…shows the utter disdain high-ranking Republicans have for hard-working Missourians. Speaker Jetton obviously believes that people who don’t share his politics are of less value…To the contrary, most hard working Missourians do not have the luxury of taking off work to attend a political rally…”
I love how low the Democratic Party members are willing to go, not just at the National level that we hear about, but even at the local level that will never make big time news. From reading the other quotes from this story it is obvious that those offended are trying to turn this against Jetton and promote themselves as being for the little guy, the hard working individual that Jetton obviously opposes.
Question Mr. Winder- how can you claim to be for the little guy, the hard working individual yet you favor raising taxes significantly which in return will HURT the little guy, the hard working individual?
Folks let’s face it, the House seat has been occupied for Jetton for six years and Winder wants to uproot him. I suggest Winder change his name to Whiner! Maybe he’ll do this come November!
