Continuing to force feed political rhetoric and refusing to have informed conversations with Missourians...Steelman, Hulshof, and Kinder are blowing off the GOP Women's Candidates Forum. 

The Springfield News-Follower reports: 

The Taney County Federated Republican Women group is giving voters a chance to meet GOP candidates seeking offices ranging from governor to county coroner.

State Treasurer Sarah Steelman and U.S. Rep. Kenny Hulshof, the two leading Republicans vying for governor, are not scheduled to attend.

Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder is not scheduled to attend . . .

Pictured above:  "Suspenders" Steelman, Rap Star Kenny "Hu-Hu" Hushof, and "Thumbs up if you really really wanna kiss a girl" Kinder all say, "Public forum? Fuck no!"

If Republican leaders are refusing to have public forums now - just imagine how willing they're going to be to be on the stage with Democrats in the fall.
