Will there be a primary for the Senate?

It appears that way, according to Tony Messenger. The folks over at Missourinet also talked to folks at Lincoln Days about this. As an official part of Mizzou CRs, this blog will remain neutral. I hope that both candidates will stick to issues . The last primary was a bitter and divisive contest no one wants to repeat(The 1992 gubernatorial is another example to ask the old-timers about). I hope Congressman Blunt and Treasurer Steelman keep this race focused on big ideas.

Jindal gives response to President Obama tonight

Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana will give the response to President Obama tonight.
Watch out for this man-he is a leader of our party at the tender age of 37(okay, old by CR standards, but young in the scale of things). I met him at a fundraiser for Kenny Hulshof last year and he was gracious enough to shake hands of people who weren't in the fundraiser, including a group of firefighters. He is a nice guy who is turning around the broken nature of Louisiana government . Here is a clip of Governor Jindal on Meet the Press.

Questions for Robin Carnahan

This release and this release from the Missouri Republican Party are interesting. I would like to add some questions to the list as well.
1. What are your thoughts regarding Afghanistan? Do you think the war is "another Vietnam" to borrow from Newsweek ? Or should the United States commit itself to defeating the Taliban? What should U.S. policy be toward Pakistan? How can we weaken the dominant intelligence service in that country and bolster the Pakistani president?
2. Your mother voted for the Iraq War resolution. Should the United States withdraw or comply with the Status of Forces Agreement?
3. What would you do to help dissidents in places like China, Iran, and Russia?
4. Do you support free trade or protectionism? Why?
5. Do you support Israel against its enemies and a Palestine that is free and democratic, not held captive by Hamas?
6. Should our crime laws revert to the lax state of the late 1960's and 1970's?
7. Gateway Pundit talks of your connection to left-wing voter groups engaged in fraud. Please explain.
8. Do you support the DeMint Amendment Senator McCaskill voted against?
That's all for now. Answer away!!!

President Sarkozy gets it.

It looks like French President Nicholas Sarkozy understands economics better than President Obama. This interview discusses why Mr. Sarkozy will not cap executive pay. He even gets it on foreign policy. Oh,Sarko...

Welcome to the home of the Mizzou College Republicans! The university site is currently under construction, so until it is complete, this will be our online home.

Some of us are freshman, some are seniors. Some are guys, some are girls. Some of us want a career in politics, some follow major events casually. Some are conservative, some are moderate, but there is one thing we all are: Republican.

There are three things we do best:

First, we help elect Republican candidates. From President to state representative, we volunteer for campaigns, make phone calls, knock on doors and attend rallies so that people know that our candidate is the best candidate.

Second, we strive to educate members and non-members on Republican principles, such as limited government, fiscal restraint and personal responsibility.

Third, we train the future leaders of our party.

We are Mizzou and We Are Republican!!

We will keep you updated with meetings, special events, and thing going on in the community.

Next Meeting: Feb. 18, A.P. Green Chapel, at 6:00 PM
