Dan Benishek won last night’s primary in Michigan’s 1st Congressional District…by ONE vote. Yes folks, one vote… which proves that every vote does indeed count. But Dr. Dan hasn’t yet won this thing officially because last-minute wonder Jason Allen (rushing to move in to the District barely in time to be eligible to run at all) is gearing up to challenge the count. And, the actual tally has yet to be certified by the State. Guess what that means? Yup…lawyers.
Dr. Dan needs our help…and he needs any spare change we can dig up to help him find a lawyer that will ensure his own rights are being upheld…and that the voices of MI-1 residents are heard.
My esteemed colleague Moe Lane visited with Dr. Dan today about the election results last night, and what lies ahead for the campaign. As always, Moe has done an excellent job with this…give it a listen and THEN – give all you’ve got to help Dr. Dan finish this thing. Benishek is the real deal, and he needs our support in order to get to Washington and start cleaning up the mess they’ve made of things down there.

When ever anyone says that thier vote doesn't count,
gekster (Diary) Wednesday, August 4th at 9:00PM EDT (link)We can tell them the Dan Benishek story.
I know we’ve been sending to various candidates all year long,
but do you really need that pile of pop cans.
I don’t..
They say Republicans are for the rich, Democrats are for the poor.
If they need more voters,
then they have to make more of who they are for.
We are there in the various Tea Party groups, leaderless, but not rudderless.
We steer always toward the Constitutional principles this nation was founded upon.

Quote from letter: “The list is long of elections that have been won by a single vote. Every vote counts.”

Three questions that destroy most Liberal arguments according to Thomas Sowell:
1. Compared to what?
2. At what cost?
3. What hard evidence do yo have?
What's so bad about Jason Allen?
ithos Thursday, August 5th at 4:52AM EDT (link)Is he a RINO? Doesn’t seem that way from his website. I am not defending the guy but I really don’t know much about him. I realize that the doctor is a solid conservative but he does lack polish which may be an issue in the general election. If both are conservatives then I would really prefer the more articulate candidate to win.
Interesting that you should mention that, Ithos
Vassar Bushmills (Diary) Thursday, August 5th at 2:39PM EDT (link)It seems to many out here that a big part of the “Washington problem” has been slick-talking hucksters who, 95% of time, deliver only the words. Jason sounds like the sort of person who likes the sound of his own voice because he’s spent so much time in front of a mirror practicing.
It really doesn’t matter to me what kind of conservative those types are when they go to Washington, the laws of nature renders them the most susceptible to the seductions of the Beltway culture and the media romance.
We’re all for more plainspoken members going off to Washington City, especially those with a proven record of surgically removing tumors.
America is looking for diamonds in the rough, while you seem to be looking for silver tongued devils.
Cordially
What are Allen's positions on
ithos Thursday, August 5th at 5:03AM EDT (link)global warming and illegal immigration? These are two litmus tests that I believe best determine who is a true conservative.
I guess this answers my questions
