1. I'm surprised we don't see more of this...
Why wouldn't people look at the way others have pouted and stamped their feet, and not only had no ramifications or punishment for it but in fact get catered to, wooed, and had people falling all over themselves to make them happy and lavish them with attention?

9. Sorry, been shoveling snow all day, what did she do now? One sentence is enough.

13. Is there any prospect of a progressive primary challenger to her in 2012?
I wouldn't feel so bad about Lincoln if she had represented a hopelessly right-wing state. The galling thing was that, according to the polls I saw, Bill Halter would've made a real race of it against Boozman, instead of losing by 20 points (as Lincoln did).

15. I think this is who she actually is. She is just more open about it now.
McCaskill was rudely dismissive of single-payer. Her public displays on the issue were obnoxious.
I for one will not miss her in the least.

6. I warned everyone about her. She takes money on the back end and she is available
to the highest bidder. She must be getting some major $$$ from lobbyists or someone.

I bet she's turning now that Roy Blunt is in the Senate from MO with her and he's got all the power and money she wishes she had. He is in Monsanto's pockets and everyone elses, so he must have taught her how to really make the big bucks in Congress - by taking bribes.

7. I've always loathed McCaskill
She seems untrustworthy, as if her money comes from government programs or something.

10. What am I missing? What has she said or done? Funny how
Funny how none of the posts bother to mention that so far.

So I remain in the dark.

12. Oh Eureka... She wants to cut spending...
http://watchdog.org/8175/gop-blasts-sen-mccaskill-for-moving-right-on-spending/

"McCaskill joined with Sen. Bob Corker, a Republican from Tennessee, on Tuesday in Washington D.C. to introduce legislation they claim would force Congress to dramatically cut federal spending over 10 years."

She wants to cut spending...
(well, so do many of us on military spending, etc.)

14. The US Senate is the most corrupt political body on the planet
in terms of harm done to humanity.

17. you'll never guess who the KDP got to speak at their/our convention
I am not buying a ticket.

Of course I never do, but then again the speaker is almost always DLC.
