“John Brunner’s a friend of mine. I have a lot of Republican friends– [and] a lot of Republican contributors.”— STL county Executive Charlie Dooley

STL Beacon:

There’s an old saying that politics makes strange bedfellows. And that adage came alive, so to speak, during a clash between the three major Republicans running for the U.S. Senate…Brunner has donated to Dooley over the years, including when the Democrat was locked in a tight race with Republican attorney Bill Corrigan. Steelman wondered aloud at a Republican debate at Washington University why Brunner would support someone who was, in her words, “pro-abortion, anti-gun and pro-Obama”.

His rhetoric about making tough decisions was tested, however, when time came for questions.

Wayne Ambrust of Columbia asked Brunner to name a popular program in Missouri that deserves to be cut. “To me that is the true test of someone who really wants to cut spending,” Ambrust told Brunner. “What about things that are popular here that I think are totally wasteful, like ethanol subsidies and solar energy and wind power and things like that?” Brunner was unable to come up with specifics in Missouri.
