Questions...

What makes the Right different from the Left?  As Republicans, what is going to make us noticeably any different from the Democratic Party?  Is it just fiscal?  Is it just more of us Republicans than there are of them Democrats in power?  A majority numbers game?  Is it accepting those within the Republican Party who will take the Liberty of the unborn life?  ...as long as it is not publicly funded?  Would that make that person calling themself a Republican any different from what ended the allegedly Pro-life Democratic Representative Bart Stupak's political career?

Does the following mean anything to you?

Tim Skubick: Would you vote for a Pro-choice candidate?

Pete Hoekstra: If, if .. a, a, I would vote for a Pro-choice candidate.  I have friends in congress .. Jane Harman .. Barney Frank .. {instrumental rationality}

That answer did not come anywhere near giving me a warm and fuzzy feeling during the 2010 gubernatorial primary.  Matter of fact, it still resonates very disturbingly within me today.  That answer to Mr. Skubick's question provided by candidate Hoekstra was much like some of the youths in Mr. Comfort's video above.  What candidate Hoekstra said to me is, "Running the dozer covering up the live bodies is fine, but I ain't gonna be the one to gun them down."  That is an answer of expediency and expendable morals.  In other words, "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" is assessed when it comes to personal quests.  Odd, that is also exactly what the Left and President Obama practice omitting.  Even more odd is that most of the youth in the "180" video above when confronted by a moral man on their flawed choices on Life and Liberty did a 180 on their public indoctrination learning's from the Left.  This begs other questions.

Why is it that candidate Hoekstra who said, "If, if .. a, a, I would vote for a Pro-choice candidate" fail to understand why he did not receive RTLM endorsement for Governor?  More importantly, why did Mr. Hoekstra six-teen months later double down on his flawed moral views with caustic retaliatory words for Barb Listing, President of Right To Life Michigan?

Wow.  Talk about cognitive dissonance.  OK, again... Why was RTLM verbally assailed by Mr. Hoekstra in August 2010 when just back in April of the previous year on Off The Record he said it was good and defended RTLM participation in elections?  Would you place trust in anyone representing you and your family's voice and future that stated they could "run the dozer" then openly display disdain for those that will not endorse that behavior?  How is that any different from what the Progressives and the Hard Left does?

Look, I completely understand that as humans that we are all not perfect.  I by no means nor stretch of the imagination am without flaws.  Have the thin pedigree to back that up.  However, it is what we choose to do with each of our imperfect life's that makes the difference in us and to those around us.  

But, the candidate above I see has very disturbing flaws that only show me a glint of remediation when the personal gain for Mr. Hoekstra is placed in jeopardy.  This is a candidate for Senate of mechanism that I cannot support.  It is not of any youthful naivety that Mr. Hoekstra arrived at his conclusion on Life and Liberty as viewed in the video when running for governor, it is by design over an eight-teen year career in Washington, of which, is even fraught with his own personal vow of a twelve year limit broken.

This is a very important time in every one of our life's right now.  We all have some serious decisions facing us with who we will choose to represent in the Senate for six years, and who it is that will fill the most powerful Office in the world.
