Claire McCaskill is a crook.........
She began her political career as the Chairwoman of the Missouri State Nursing Home Licensing and Regulation Commission, appointed by a Dem Governor. She and her husband ran a chain of nursing homes in the state, and she (allegedly) proceeded to use her office to harass and eliminate the competition to her and her husband's own operations. therefore making millions. It was rumored that she was on the verge of having a Grand Jury convened, and felony charges brought against her and her husband, when an election tossed her benefactor (the governor) out of office, and the incoming administration cleaned out the comission and replaced them.
She then (among other things) became an instate paid lobbyest for the SEIU, and other public employee and teacher's unions, and worked to organize state workers, including contractors. When Republican governor Matt Blunt was elected (McCaskill was his Dem opponent), he basically cancelled the mandated union organization for state workers, again putting her out of a job.
She was elected to the Senate seat by a fairly slim margin, mainly as a result of voter fraud on the part of the SEIU and ACORN (now gone) in St. Louis........she then became the state chairman for the Obama campaign (Obama lost in Missouri, narrowly), and one of the most outspoken supporters of ObamaCare. Judging from the recent 71/29 percent referendum against ObamaCare by the voters in the state, and the virtual complete purge of Democrats from state and national elected office in Missouri on November 2, she is painfully aware that when she stands for re-election in 2012, barring a miracle, she is toast......
Basically she is a stupid, corrupt, dishonest woman........close in intellect to Barbara Boxer in CA, she just has a slightly better staff of speechwriters.......
