Cor Jesu alumna Ann Wagner named Roy Blunt’s campaign chairman

27th October 2009 by Catherine Favazza Comments Off

Here’s to an inspirational conservative woman–and to Roy Blunt for selecting a brilliant chairman for his Senate campaign.

Mrs. Wagner and I graduated from the same high school. She sent the kindest words of encouragement to me a few years ago when I passed along a blog post I wrote defending myself from a nasty attack. [...]

Six Dem Governors, Including Jay Nixon, Hold Out On Health Care Letter

6th October 2009 by Catherine Favazza 1 Comment

Kudos to Missouri governor Jay Nixon for recognizing that Missouri isn’t as excited about putting government in control of health care as the Democratic Governor’s Association.
Talking Points Memo reports:
It gives a sense of how tough the health care battle is that Democrats could only get 22 of the 28 governors from their own party to [...]

I had the honor of working with Ed Martin on American Issues Project and enjoyed lunch with him at my family’s restaurant in St. Louis just a few weeks ago. He’s been entertaining the idea of a run for Congress, and this video implies we might get an official announcement today.

Just when you think the ridiculous, all-credible-concerns-and-comments-are-just-racist-rants attacks from the Left might slow down, Talking Points Memo, Salon and company choose their next victim: Rep. Roy Blunt, 2010 candidate for Senate in Missouri.
Their issue? Blunt told a story that mentioned monkeys at the Value Voters Summit.
Blunt’s story, according to Salon.com:
Almost from the day the first [...]

As some of you may know, liberals are boycotting Whole Foods because the CEO and co-founder came out against a government-takeover of health care. Conservatives are leading “buycotts” to support the store for taking an unpopular position. The video here, posted by Dana Loesch, is raw footage from one such buycott.

An Affair to Remember in the Missouri Senate Race?

Lefty bloggers and Missouri Democrats have been making noise for awhile now, claiming that Roy Blunt had an affair with his now-wife before he was divorced from his previous wife. Normally, it’s best to ignore such baseless, tacky attacks, but now this made-up story keeps creeping up and being passed off as unquestioned fact. (Libel, [...]

VIDEO: Are You The Mob? Update: The Left Responds to Anger with Violence

7th August 2009 by Catherine Favazza 6 Comments

Writing off average citizens with legitimate concerns as members of an “angry mob” is offensive to those who are just living their lives and worried about the future for their family and business, as Dana Loesch pointed out last night on Greta Van Susteren. It’s been said over and over again, but these people are [...]

Russ Carnahan’s Next Bad Idea: Address “Aging” in a Culture of Death

4th August 2009 by Catherine Favazza Comments Off

On “Cash for Clunkers,” he slips out the back door and shuts out the community for whom he works. On health care, he’s already a laughingstock and he’s about to dig himself into a deeper hole.
According to the Missouri AARP Facebook page, Rep. Russ Carnahan will address “Aging in America” Thursday evening before an audience [...]
