Though many in the GOP are less than thrilled about Terri Lynn Land’s decision not to debate her Democratic opponent in the Michigan Senate race, one Michigan Republican with a tendency for offensive statements said he’s fine with Land’s under-the-radar campaign.
Dave Agema, a Republican National Committeeman who has called gay people “filthy” and compared being gay to alcoholism, said that he just hopes Land wins.
“I say, do whatever it takes to win. I don’t care how she wins, whether she debates or not. If she has to not debate to win, that’s fine,” Agema told U.S. News on Wednesday.
Though Agema didn’t question Land’s campaign style, other Republicans have criticized her minimalist approach. The former Michigan secretary of state declined to debate Democrat Gary Peters, attends few public events and rarely talks to the press.
“She’d make a better senator than she does a campaigner,” Leland Prebble, a member of the Jackson County GOP committee, said last week, according to the Associated Press.
And many Republicans think Land’s quiet campaign could cost her the election.
“There have always been doubts about whether she can do it; whether she has command of the issues, the forensic skills, whether she can deal with the media,” said Bill Ballenger, a former Republican state legislator, told National Journal in August. “She has done, in my view, some things that simply underscore all the doubts and qualms about her — not only from Democrats and the media but from people in her own party.”
These psychopaths look like they’re going to win, and win big. Then of course, the Democratic Party will respond by running and hiding, effectively giving up the 2016 election also.
The only thing we can do to counter this kind of domino effect is to get the vote out! Not just ourselves, we have to do more.
The “filthy” people would seem to be the Palins. Wasilla Kardashian and her brood got into a fistfight
Wasilla: “Don’t you know who I am?”
Crowd: “This isn’t some redneck reality show”
ed: Statement from Anchorage police:
What I am able to share with you at this time is the following:
Case: 14-36989
On Saturday, September 6, 2014 just before midnight Anchorage police responded to a report of a verbal and physical altercation taking place between multiple subjects outside of a residence located on the 900 block of Harbor Circle . A preliminary investigation by police revealed that a party had been taking place at a nearby residence and a fight had broken out between multiple subjects outside of the residence. None of the involved parties wanted to press charges at the time of the incident and no arrests were made. Alcohol was believed to have been a factor in the incident. Some of the Palin family members were in attendance at the party.
This case is still pending, therefore, I’m unable to provide any further details or information in the police reports at this time.
Thank you,

With supporters like Agema----an odious little cretin if ever there was one----Land is unlikely to win, which would be a great thing for Michigan.
and Agema has that smug, Romney-like smile down pat, doesn’t he?
What rock did these swarmmy GOP candidates crawl out from under?
