Wait a sec.
Just after I finished writing out a snail check to the totally social-networking-clueless Benishek this afternoon, I discovered there's a second Republican who's thrown her hat in the ring:
http://www.lindaforcongress.com/
Deanna| 3.21.10 @ 8:21PM
I agree. Benishek isn't our only option. Linda Goldthorpe is a true Conservative and she's from the UP. Two great reasons to give her a look. Don't jump on a bandwagon until you know the candidate , folks.
Dee| 3.22.10 @ 3:23PM
Linda Goldthorpe is spam
james| 3.22.10 @ 11:03PM
linda goldthorpe, supposed conservative.... attacked sarah palin as not being a true pro-life person... idiotic and stupid letter... sarah palin not a strong enough pro-lifer? because she encouraged Stupak a week ago to stay a no vote? this linda is pretty stupid (she is ardent Ron Paul supporter) and if that is how she thinks, why support her? here is link...
http://www.lindaforcongress.co.....-my-letter
RAC| 3.23.10 @ 10:02AM
I don't have a dog in this fight since I do not live in her district but I read her letter twice. Your conclusions are utter nonsense. She did not attack Mrs. Palin's pro-life credentials but her belief that Stupak was a pro-lifer and would vote against ObamaCare. WRONG!
politicaljules| 3.21.10 @ 8:31PM
I would be very careful with this lindaforcongress. They tried to spam twitter with this IMO plant funded by unions. The union/dems scrambled something together when they heard Benishek was getting popular. DONT FALL FOR IT. They are spamming the internet now.
Andrea| 3.21.10 @ 11:08PM
Seriously? The Democrats and the Unions scrambled to put something together, but a guy who doesn't even have a web page or the capability to accept credit cards isn't? When are you people going to realize that the GOP is at war with the TEA Party, too?

I don't understand this virulent antithapy to Ron Paul by some conservatives. Republicans I understand. The business of the party is to perpetuate the party. Not promote any particular agenda unless it will get people elected. I get that he is not likely to succeed on the national stage. There is not a lot of charisma. But he is more about principles and positions and showing the RNC how strongly these are supported by the rank and file. There is very little for a paleo-conservative or libertarian to disagree with in Paul's 'the government should just leave me alone' politics. For the Republican party to succesed it has to be won back from the neo-cons and Theocrats (Huckabee supporters and the like).
David Norris| 3.22.10 @ 10:49AM
I live in Ron Paul's district. first, he is a lousy congressman. he does not do much constituency support at all. secondly, he is all theory. We are not about to dismantle the financial institutions overnight. You need a path to get where he wants. he needs to understand the steps it will take to be there. you need to be a politician. Influence, coax, even manipulate. None of this he really does. So, Ron talks a good story but he doesn't do his job or know how to really get there.
David| 3.23.10 @ 9:36AM
Ron Paul's philosophy is NOT to do much for his district. That's not what he thinks Congress is about. He is an ideologue that forces the rest of the party a little further right.
Sandy| 3.23.10 @ 2:50PM
Ron Paul is one of the biggest Earmarker's in Congress, yet he says he is a fiscal conservative. He adds his earmarks out the wazoo, and, then votes no on the bill containing them, knowing all along that it will pass.
Randy| 3.23.10 @ 6:40PM
Oh really? Could you please give an example? Just one?
vd| 3.23.10 @ 1:21PM
We are in this mess partly because our congress people do not do what is best for the country; rather they do what is best for their district. Same for the Senate.
Brian Withnell | 3.22.10 @ 7:48PM
If the only business of the party is to perpetuate the party, then we should kill off the party in order to get a party that has its business to have a central ideology. If the only business is the perpetuation of the party, then we should all just be one party and forget having two parties at all.
Randy| 3.23.10 @ 6:43PM
"I don't understand this virulent antithapy to Ron Paul by some conservatives."
Ignorance runs deep on both the 'left' and the 'right'. Paul is a libertarian (small 'L'). Libertarians are neither left nor right.
midnoon| 3.24.10 @ 7:11AM
What's wrong with Ron Paul? He's smarter than Palin.
Professor Fate| 3.30.10 @ 12:00PM
What exactly is the problem with Ron Paul? He is painted as a radical right winger by the radical left wingers. Doesn't that tell you something? Are we not at the point where we need someone a bit more radical constitutionally and not yet another RINO or even John "can't we all just get along" McCain who will be the deathnell for this country if he ends up in any position of power now. I suggest you get your info concerning Ron Paul directly from Ron Paul and not from media mouthpieces like ex-alcoholic and crackhead Glenn Beck or Pro Homo Leftist Anderson "teabag" Cooper or even from any of the pathetic haters and nutjobs at NBC. Obama and his radical cabinet has pulled this country hard left. The only way to get things back to some semblence of sanity is to pull hard right. PS Be sure and understand that DEMS have people on these pages trying to confuse the issue and the poeple. KNOW it and keep it in mind as you read posts. Don't be fooled. God Bless America. God Help America.

Way to go Republicans, beat each other up in the primary so there will be nothing left for the Democrats to do but roll over our candidate come general election time.

would be wary of this woman... any conservative that would question Sarah Palin's pro-life credentials sounds a little wacky to me... could it be because she is a Ron Paul supporter? still, taking a shot at Sarah Palin on her credentials as a pro-life person is pretty slimey

It might be worth sending a smart family member through med school in a free country and then just have him cover a community of friends without entering the federal system.

Missy: What a dark day in American History, for all of us, huh? Just yesterday, I was "a glass half full" type of guy, but right now? I'm feeling really, really dehydrated!! I guess the next major battle for us all, is coming in November?
What the hell happened to the America I thought I knew? When did we become the next Communist? I hate the Commies!! I always have!! And I always will!! Was I just too busy, and caught up in my own little world, that I just didn't notice this change in our collective philosophy? When the hell did we become a "People", who need a "Daddy" to solve all our day to day problems? I don't remember this? I remember us being the Country that won the "Great Wars" , and planted our Flag on the friggin Moon, that's what I remember!! Well I've got to tell you, I've already got one Dad, and I'm not looking for another one, who needs to fix all my day to day problems. I don't need it, and I don't want it!! And if the American People are really against this Healthcare Bill (soon to be law), as the polls have shown for sometime now, well then this November is going to be much worse, than has already been predicted, now that the Democrats are about to sell us all out tonight. Much worse!!
We cannot, I repeat, we cannot forget what they're doing to us tonight in Washington. The Democratic Party tonight, is about to say, "F" you America, we don't care what you think!! We don't work for you!! We don't have to listen to you!!
We have to avenge ourselves for this most unjust insult!! Please join me, in our upcoming Battle, we must now save ourselves, from the most ruthless Domestic Enemy our Nation has ever faced,... The Democratic Party!! Or as they should be called from now on, simply The Communist Party (pardon the shorthand)!! If Ken (Old Texican) doesn't mind me borrowing a line from him?
Alright, I'm feeling better now, the glass is half full again, thanks for listening!!

former state legislator| 3.22.10 @ 9:39AM
Stupak isn't a dupe--he's a very good actor. As a member of leadership, there were plenty of times I had to arrange for fellow legislators to change their votes to do what leadership had decided should happen. It usually involved some charade to make it look like their issues were taken care of when it was most often just window dressing. Most often I designed the charade, but sometime the member had his own idea of how to play it out.
Did it fool anyone? Most of the time no one was really looking. But it allowed the legislator to fool him or herself into thinking they looked like something other than a total tool of leadership.
Stupak is no different. Whether he designed the play, or the leadership did, it's now only a question of whether people bought it.
