Purgason: Blunt Among the DC "Appropriators" Who "Dispense Government Largesse"

Sen. Chuck Purgason directs followers today to a new Washington Post op-ed by conservative writer Mark Theissen, titled "The GOP: The Appropriations Party?"

"This must read article is a warning to Missourians," Purgason explains to supporters. From Thiessen's piece:

Appropriators hold the purse strings and dispense government largesse. They cut the backroom deals and decide who does and does not get an earmark. They are courted by lobbyists and feted by industries eager to get a piece of the government pie. They are the ones who gave us the "bridge to nowhere" and other infamous special deals. In other words, they represent everything that the grass-roots movement for fiscal discipline sweeping our country detests.

"My opponent [Roy Blunt] is one of those appropriators," Purgason says.
