And there is a somewhat compelling reason for supporting a strong conservative like Cox..  He actually put his career out there fort a principle..  BEFORE the MCRI was deemed a success.  He was right, he stood his ground.

But I would NOT say Hoekstra didn't support the MCRI, because I have yet to find a news article showing a statement by him on MCRI either way from that time..

See how that works?

Also.. Balance..  Hit pieces are hit pieces.  you have claimed a couple of things that are completely wrong.  But i don't delete comments or articles..  (unless they are spam or do not fit this forum - IE: article on Refrigerators)  So I will post corrections through comments or stand alone articles.  it matters not at all to me if I am in the district, though as I have pointed out..  might be the case someday.

I agree that Allen has a great deal of "Persistently Targeted Incentives" in his history. I don't like that stuff either.  Not one bit.  As a state issue, it may or may not be unconstitutional, and I tend to think that may be the case. (I have pushed the argument before)  But i would suggest we build a better argument to not do such things, rather than rail on things that are NOT TRUE.  Or persistently engage in "who is the biggest baddest conservative" snipes.

I would argue you have more persuasive talent with your writing when you pull a Joe Friday and stick to the facts.

You know..  Maybe I should see if I could get Jason to do an interview.  Maybe I can get some face time or a video.. Do you have any suggested questions?  does anyone else here?
