Glenn Wilson Is Costing ME MoneyBy JGillman, Section News
Glenn Wilson just cost me another $25. Money I really didn't expect to have to spend.
Not that I didn't want to support Benishek, or think he was not worth the $25 contribution. No.. Rather I didn't expect he would HAVE to spend a great amount of capital to win a race that should be so eminently winnable given the way in which Bart Stupak handled his affairs. The spending levels shouldn't HAVE to be so high, as the corrective juggernaut which is fueled by a responsible government sentiment is just now fully underway. I must give full credit to Jason Allen for his understanding the consequence of fighting among ourselves, and what copuld be viewed as self destructing because of a stroked ego. He took the high road. He understood oh-so-well, how its possible to wreck all that you stand for by allowing a personal, but misplaced sense of self to override a bit of common sense. How splitting hairs over 'perfect' stands on some issues before a congressional candidate, might be used only to split votes in an election. And maybe lose a few gains that were made in the process.
Splitting those votes between people who are nearly identical but for the party designation has become for some, the only excuse for not doing the right thing. With folks talking about the 'two party system,' and 'Republicans did this to us too,' and other reasons to NOT coalesce behind a reasonable candidate who is anything BUT the beltway. Supporters who instead of taking the little wins with the RIGHT direction, instead build in a threshold in their own minds, so unreachable by either pragmatic or even remotely reasonable standards, that GOD himself wouldn't get their support.. if he ran as a Republican.
And they MUST be right. The Democrats say so. The Democrats, knowing he is indeed the prized pony. The gift horse that ought not be doubted. That cog in the wheel of unrealistic imaginings which might in fact produce a Democrat win come November 02, 2010. If ONLY they keep him propped up and help him sell his message. They have begun to campaign FOR HIM. They know every vote that goes for Glenn Wilson is not a vote stolen from their mule McDowell, but rather from Benishek, the man who carries the Republican flag this cycle. So here we are.. Glenn Wilson, though not in my district, purposes me through his continued action in Michigan's 1st congressional district race, to skip a dinner out, a night of bowling, an office gift in the next Christmas pool, or a sample of whatever scientific wizardry one can buy, to spend that $25. What one who looks at issues alone would see as merely family infighting becomes an unnecessary expense. It is my choice to be sure.. Or is it? My prediction? At this point it may be too late (other than a full blown endorsement by Glenn Wilson for Benishek) to affect the actual numbers. Given his participation and probably claiming 5-7% of the vote in November, it will leave a near perfect split. Benishek, who avoided a costly, and emotional recount process with Allen in August, will not only need my $25, but yours as well, simply to have the recount teams and attorneys to battle for just a few votes. A battle that the Dems will wage, if only to prove the point that we are not ready for conservative leadership.
