Roy Blunt Will Say Where He Stands

Roy Blunt believes a campaign is a job interview with the people. They are the employer. He is applying for a position of trust. He thinks he is the right choice. He will give his answer to any question you ask -- you're the boss; he's the applicant. A great honor of public service is to listen to people's ideas and concerns, and to do your best to address the questions that people have on their minds and in their hearts.

He already has traveled thousands of miles to talk one-on-one with voters. Other politicians try to be elected by a game of "hide the ball" -- no positions, no plan, always trying to duck the job interview ... "First, you put me in. Then I'll say where I stand." That isn't Roy. He is a Show-Me person. He knows where he stands. He will say what he thinks, and why.

These are critical times for America and the world. Our jobless rate is high. Our troops are fighting dangerous ideologues and terrorists. Iran is reaching for nuclear weapons. Health care needs common sense reform. We are too dependent on foreign oil. The new one-party Washington is spending our money as fast as it can run the printing presses. The list is long.

Can we make it through this? You bet we can. This is America! First, we must put things back on the right track at the ballot box so we can do America's great work, which is to make tomorrow even better than today for ourselves and our children and their children. The compass point is freedom. The map is Missouri values and common sense.

Find out where the candidates stand. Then decide. If they won't say where they stand, judge accordingly. Roy Blunt will listen and he will answer questions. He will say where he stands.
