Re: Missouri Representative Roy Blunt
[ QUOTE ]
I knew Roy back in the early 80's when he was County Clerk and I was a local radio reporter. Would describe him then as moderate Republican---fiscal conservative, very moderate on personal morality/liberty issues. Southern Baptist, but not a Bible thumper type. Helluva nice guy actually---and voted for him as he moved up the politcal ladder to higher offices.
Somewhere along the way---he changed. Since I haven't talked to him in close to 20 years (I got out of the news biz in the mid-80's) couldn't even begin to pinpoint when it happened. A living example that power corrupts? Dunno......

I'd be interested in hearing more about him if you have any interesting stories or anecdotes. PM me if you don't want to hijack this thread.
