This isn't an ad, yet:
I'm not quite sure, but I may well be picking up the cudgel for Jim Newberry of Missouri, who will be running against Roy Blunt - yes that Roy Blunt, House Majority Whip, who's son is running to unseat governor Bob Holden - in Missouri 7, that's the southwest around Springfield and Jolin.
It is going to be a tough race, it is going to be a long shot insurgent campaign. So while this isn't quite yet a campaign communication, I'm putting in this disclaimer that I've been talking to the candidate - and may well be joining the campaign officially.
And it is going to work. Because Roy Blunt - now one indictment away from the Majority Leader slot - represents the "House for Rent" ethical violations of the current Congress.
Roy Blunt's report card pulls straight "C"'s - Cash, Connections, Corruption. The Missouri Democratic Party says that Tobacco Road runs straight through his office.
He ran the Saturday Night Massacre - where veterans benefits, health care and education were slashed - while billions were voted in tax cuts for the rich.
But remember to tell me how the election is going to turn out by taking the poll.
Roy Blunt is the master of "rolling in the hay", finding ways of pretending to help farmers, while really helping his big contributors. One classic example is his backing of removing regulations from propane. That's natural gas. He says it is to "help farmers". But it really helps the big utility companies, that have given him more than a hundred thousand dollars - including 20,000 from junk-bond status Aquila Inc.
He's also Tom Delay's right hand man, getting money from Senator Hutchinson of Texas, and is now one indictment away from being Majority Leader.. Even many Republicans - think he leaves to wide a trail of corruption behind him. When Judicial watch is out after a Republican, you know there has to be a strong odor in the air.
If we are going to take down the "House for Rent" sign, then hitting the house leadership is what has to happen.

Why am I so concerned? Even the IMF, Washington DC's lap dog organization is warning about the US deficit. Basically, George has done what he's always done - find a crony, this time Japanese PM Koizumi, to buy up his worthless paper. It's the way Bush operates - Harken, the Texas Rangers Land Deal - always the same game - get a friend to buy up the junk and scoot away.
But Koizumi has run out of spare cash to prop up Bush - and he is running out of political will. Koizumi knew that cheap gas would help Japan, and so he signed on board to this big bail out and invade Iraq scheme.
But as Iraq becomes a slagmire - just witness the casualty counts from a day of truce - it's clear it is all being pulled down. Bush just hopes to get to the election. Two more years of these tax cuts, and there will be another Trillion - that Trillion with a Trill - will be sucked out of the American Taxpayer.
And its the Delay Gang - where Blunt rides shotgun - that is doing this.
So whether I work for him or not, when his website is up, take a look at at Jim Newberry for Congress - who whacked Wal-mart for what is stil the 35th largest judgement in US History - and is now going to whack Roy Blunt buy making him face the judgement of some angry voters.
