Higher deficits. Smoke. Mirrors. Buzzwords.” [STL PD Editorial, 8/30/10] Blunt Helped Impose $30 Billion in New Regulations and Increased Size of Government to Unprecedented Levels: Cong. Blunt was a loyal rubber stamp for former President George Bush who, according to Nick Gillespie of Reason magazine “increased the size and scope of the federal government to unprecedented levels.” According to the Heritage Foundation, the Bush Administration – with the support of Congressman Blunt – imposed almost $30 billion in new regulatory costs on Americans between 2001 and 2008. The total staffing of regulatory agencies increased from 172,000 to 244,000 between fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2007. [Wall Street Journal, 1/24/09; Heritage Foundation ] Blunt Supported Wall Street Deregulation Bill – Which Opponents Predicted “Could Lead To An Economic Crisis Down The Road.” In 1999, Blunt voted to pass the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which allowed traditional banks to merge with insurance companies and investment Houses – as they had before the passage of the Glass Steagall Act during the Depression.

  • Nixon Still Strong for Re-Election to MO Gov
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 4, 2011 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Nixon still strong for re-election to MO Gov. Raleigh, N.C. – Jay Nixon remains in solid shape for re-election next fall. None of three prospective Republican challengers gets within single digits of the Missouri governor. Former governor Matt Blunt would come closest, trailing 48-38, followed by Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder, 48-34. That marks a doubling of Nixon’s spread against Kinder since PPP last polled the race two months ago; then, Kinder was the only candidate tested, and lagged only 45-38. A rematch with former Rep. Kenny Hulshof would yield a victory margin for Nixon almost equal to his 19-point victory in 2008, 51-34. Nixon’s approval rating has nudged just barely more positive, from 47-31 to 48-29 in the last two months, because he has improved slightly with voters of both parties, from 60-24 with Democrats to 61-19, and from 32-40 with Republicans to almost breaking even at 36-38. He continues to be one of the most popular politicians with voters across the aisle in the country, and is overall the 11th best liked governor in the country. Unfortunately for him, few of those Republicans end up voting for him; he takes only 11-14% of the GOP.
