What's new? Blunt rips Nixon at state GOP convention

Matt Blunt's not running for governor this year, but that has not stopped him from continuously criticizing the man who would have been his opponent had he stayed in the race. The attacks on Attorney General Jay Nixon continued today at the state GOP convention in Branson:

Blunt said Nixon would return Missouri to policies that give welfare to illegal aliens, increase taxes to create more welfare programs and “go back to the old” Medicaid system of not making people be accountable for their own health.

“That’s what Jay Nixon says he wants to go back to,” said Blunt, who dropped out of the race against Nixon in January.

Blunt also called on Nixon to join an effort by 10 attorney generals who urged the California Supreme Court on Friday to delay finalizing its ruling to legalize same-sex

marriage.
