Tag: Randy Richardville (page 4)By JGillman, Section News
I have mentioned before, there is more to the Michigan senate races than just getting your guy in place. Conservative voters need to impress upon their prospective state Senators, that the gatekeeper needs to reflect the conservative direction being shown in the state and country today. Not because its the 'in thing', but rather because it is right. I realize this is another one of those things that we hate to see BEFORE the election, but because the election of the leadership position will happen immediately, it is important your candidate knows where YOU stand.
First the facts.
But another interesting point seems to have popped up. (12 comments, 594 words in story) Full Story By JGillman, Section News
I Have previously posted on the "Most Powerful man" and totally plagiarized Jack Hoogendyk's writing to set the tone for my opinion on who might best represent the Republicans and be the gatekeeper of legislation going forward in the Senate.
I suggested John Proos would be best. And even in the face of one of my "litmus" issues being challenged I hold to this. I may at some point elaborate. Just know that the race is between Proos and Randy Richardville. Richardville though on the right side of my pet peeve (smoking bans in private business) is on the WRONG side of property interest in other areas. Add to this, a 4th from the BOTTOM Score card from Common Sense in Government. Ow.
But this gem from one of the most far left liberals (who BTW works in the legislative offices in Lansing) out there: I also got a response from SEIU political director Vaughn Thompson, who assured we that Nofs, as well as Sen. Randy Richardville, R-Monroe, are both "pro-worker." I about fell out of my chair when I heard that one. I don't yet know a whole lot about Nofs' record, but I'm familiar with the record of the man from my hometown of Monroe. He is anything but pro-worker, and I don't understand how he got that undeserved reputation. I don't often believe ol Kevin.. but since it seemed to offend him so much it might be worth considering as fact. SEIU has Richardville's back. Double Ow.
you might want to call your senate hopefuls.. and at least TALK to them. The decision who will be our gatekeeper is an important one. By JGillman, Section News
Sometimes it is real easy to look at the top dog, and think there it is. The Governor is the one who will affect what is happening in this state the most. Often we forget the path of least resistance might not serve us so well, if that which travels the path to the pen is unencumbered by reason or moral certitude.
Just don't forget we have gatekeepers. Jack Hoogendyk offers his valuable experience as a lesson in politics. Pay CLOSE ATTENTION. A little Skinny on this at the end.. Below the fold we go.. (9 comments, 842 words in story) Full Story
