Sen. McCaskill has never been bashful about speaking her mind on issues. She has been vocal since Day 1 in the Senate. She didn't sit back and just listen before speaking up. She became an active participant right after taking the oath of office.
The aircraft proposal was just one of the many issues in which she has been vocal, particularly when it comes to spending measures. She is a strong advocate of oversight and keeping a watchful eye over the awarding of government contracts. She has introduced more reform legislation in two years than some senators with many years in the Senate. She is a watchdog over our tax dollars.
She falls short when it comes to helping small businesses. Her support of President Obama on some of his policies and proposals has not been acceptable to the middle-of-the-road voter.
The junior senator from Missouri has handled Town Hall meetings well. She doesn't back off from protesters and does her best to explain issues and answers questions frankly with a sincere tone.
Sen. McCaskill is as tough as she is spunky. We would like to root for her a higher percentage of the time but can't. She's tied too closely to some of the Obama policies and proposals that we can't digest regardless of the sugar-coated words that they are wrapped with.
