He wrote a letter to the editor and proved he was a moron. The highlights are as below:
1) As a CPA, he knows exactly what the government needs
2) Dems are bad, bad, bad
3) Governor Nixon is bad, bad, bad
4) Lower taxes
5) Lower taxes again
6) Nixon is bad, bad, bad
7) Nixon is why businesses move out of state
8) Quit scaring schools and trying to raise taxes, Nixon
9) Dems are bad, bad, bad
10) Drop the tax rate on businesses and they will all want to move to Missouri
and finally:
11) Nixon and all the Dems are bad, bad, bad
He once spoke at my child's school. My child asked him a question and was informed that the subject wasn't something that should concern a student, then made a joke about "the opposition". My kid was in fifth grade at the time. He's also extremely condescending to the college students, though kisses their parents rears on move-in day. Oh, and he's a huge fan of Rick Perry, who is actually coming to Missouri in an effort to poach jobs from our state.
I don't know how the hell he keeps getting reelected.
