Paul Scott for SOS?
Lou Penton (the 5th District Chair) sent an email out endorsing a potential bid by Rep. Paul Scott (R-Grand Blanc) for Secretary of State. Listed with Penton on the list is Bill & Michelle Voorheis (barf).
Touted in the press release is Scott’s sponsorship of a bill to allow pro-life license plates.
Scott angered many conservatives and libertarians in his district when he supported a smoking ban earlier this year.
I have spoken with people in the 5th district who are not happy with his decision to run as it is a good possibility that his house seat will be lost to the Democrats.
I have been told that if Scott polls 15% or better at the Mackinac Conference in the straw poll that he will throw his hat in the ring.
This is entirely possible because he has retained the help of John Yob and he will no doubt have a bus full of people already on the island to vote for Rick Snyder.
I strongly believe that Anne Norlander is the most qualified and she has waited her turn.
Republicans should stop being cowards
I am so sick of all of these people on tv, in print and on the radio trying to turn Congressman Joe Wilson’s simple statement of “you lie”, into a commentary on race.
When a white man disagrees with a black man it is not inherently racist. Being a Republican is not a qualifier.
However, I think that the lefts tactics of calling everyone racist that disagree with them will backfire. This country is still a majority European descent country and they will make their voice heard in the next election.
The left can put people into a submission move in public, but they can’t brow beat them into voting their way.
These racial politics will be a net loss for liberals in the end.
Don’t feel shame, feel pride!
