Bachmann...not enough character to represent DECENT Republicans
A bird told me that Michele Bachmann scored big at the SD 52 BPOU yesterday. Somehow, through a voting block that controlled the majority of the delegates at the convention, Bachmann supporters were able to change the rules of the convention at will to satisfy their own whims. It seems one thing that the Bachmann bloc wanted to do was move the election of delegates early in the agenda so they could all leave afterwards. Their only desire was to be delegates at the 6th Congressional District.
They were told what slate of delegates to vote for so that all of the slate would be ensured election as delegates. This slate, according to the source, were all friends and fellow church goers of Michele Bachmann.
OK, yes, this is how the system works. I should say, yes, the system allows this. But is this REALLY the mentality we want to send to Washington?
What does it matter if the delegate elections in SD 52 were fixed? Well, first of all each of them were first time delegates and effectively shut out the hard working grassroots part of the district. Such wanton disregard for grassroots is not an anomoly in character...it is indicative of her character.
This little coup of SD 52 also caused the State Representative of 52B to be shut out from being a delegate as well.
If someone is willing to turn their backs on the grassroots for the sake of their own personal gain what is there that demonstrates they won't engage in less ethical means. After all, this is a perfect example of the ends justify the means, win at all costs, and principles/morals taking a back seat to winning. I will not support this candidate. (- 5) This woman is not capable of representing any person with a sense of right-vs-wrong and MUST be defeated.
Tony's not too happy with Jim Knoblach either. |
