RS Interview: Gary Glenn (R CAND, MI-SEN Primary).

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  November 21st, 2011 at 08:30 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to speak with Gary Glenn, who is president of the American Family Association of Michigan and one of the primary candidates in next year’s Senate race in Michigan against sitting Senator Debbie Stabenow.  Gary is actively seeking the Tea Party vote and has been endorsed by Mike Huckabee: we spoke with him for a bit on the race.

Gary Glenn’s site is here.

    No base, no support, no money, no chance for the nomination and absolutely no chance to beat Debbie Stabenow. I do not understand why Red State is bothering to cover his candidacy. Let’s see if he can get the petition signatures first.

    I guess Pete Hoekstra is still against Right To Work? Unlike Gary Glenn, Hoekstra has no section on issues at his campaign website. Is this in order to avoid the issue of RTW? I’m starting to be against candidates who will not be forthcoming and clear about their positions. (Yes, congratulate me.) Gary Glenn is in favor of RTW and spearheaded the drive that implemented it in Idaho.

    While looking around at Glenn’s and Hoekstra’s websites, one thing was especially disturbing to me. Glenn called on Hoekstra, who has personally dealt with Teamsters’ President Hoffa in the past, to not only condemn Hoffa’s hate-filled remarks of Labor Day weekend, but to pressure Hoffa to retract his threats and “expressly disavow actual violence.” In response, the next day, Hoekstra did the following. He:
    – refused to single out Hoffa.
    – made only the most perfunctory denouncement of ?this kind of rhetoric?.
    – lectured the Tea Party to behave and move on, to not be drawn in. (Thank goodness he told us.)

    This whole episode of politician-speak, approximately one minute in length, was buried in a ten-minute interview, from which Hoekstra then used the laughably misleading headline in a press release: “Hoekstra Slams Hoffa’s ‘Street Fight’ Tea Party Slurs”. To hear that part of the interview is insulting. In fact, it is infuriating.

    Some of us newcomers to politics have been getting tripped up by not understanding that the last election cycle’s identification of some candidates as ?conservative? ?- even by conservative groups and people ?- was quite relative. For me, acquiring a “political education” is turning out to be a rather horrible process, but it is worth it, lest we all descend into a nation-wide OWS mess.
