Mr. Blunt's healthcare comments

-------------------------


-----------------------
Roy Blunt has been a busy man. Above is his most recient clip on healthcare.

This is from wiki: Roy D. Blunt (born January 10, 1950) is a Republican politician from Missouri, representing Missouri's 7th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives. He was the House Republican whip for the 110th United States Congress, having announced after the 2008 general election that he would step down from the position.

After House Majority Leader Tom DeLay stepped down due to a criminal indictment in Texas, Blunt served as interim majority leader from September 29, 2005, to February 2, 2006, when John Boehner of Ohio was elected as DeLay's permanent replacement.

Blunt's son Matt Blunt is the former governor of Missouri.

On February 19, 2009, Blunt announced he would run for the Republican nomination for the United States Senate seat being vacated by Senator Kit Bond in 2010.

Citizens for Ethics in September 2006 called Blunt "one of the 20 most corrupt members of Congress. at: http://www.citizensforethics.org/node/19081

from article: "Family connections have also helped Rep. Blunt’s son, Missouri Governor Matt Blunt, who received campaign contributions from nearly three dozen influential Missouri lobbyists and lawyers when he ran for governor in 2004, over half of whom had provided financial support to his father." We all know the story of Matt and his decision to not run for Missouri Governer last election
