Sam Page, Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, claims that his opponent is full of double-talk when it comes to conservative issues. Former presidential candidate Fred Thompson praised Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder's conservatism. However, Kinder has not received the endorsement of Missouri Right to Life because of his intermittent support for stem cell research across the state. "Lt. Gov. Kinder hasn't a conservative ideology, but he has a conservative geography," Page said. "He is a conservative in Joplin and then pops up a liberal in St. Louis. It is time he let Missourians in every county know his position on the important issue of stem cell research."
