MI-GOP Chairman Candidates Answer Your Questions

MI-GOP Chairman Candidates Answer Your Questions
"The Michigan Republican Party, (MRP), is holding its convention February 22 & 23 to elect district leadership and the state chairman for another two years.  2014, will be another key election year as ALL county commissioners, state reps, state senators, and the governor, secretary of state, attorney general, 14 members of congress and a U.S. senator are up for election.
We are fortunate to have a choice this year.
Incumbent chairman, Robert (Bobby) Schostak is seeking a second term. Attorney and former state board of education candidate, Todd Courser is also seeking the post.
As a service to the delegates who may be going to the state convention to cast their vote for chairman, I asked several key leaders from both 'camps' of supporters to offer questions they would like to ask of the candidates. Both Bobby and Todd were willing to provide answers.
I have printed their answers below as they were written, with only minor formatting changes.
I hope that these will be helpful to you as you consider your vote later this month."

State Democratic leader mastermind in tea party plot, convicted ex-official says

The former chairman of the Oakland County Democratic Party, who was convicted for his involvement with a scheme to sign up fake tea party candidates for the 2010 election, now says that Democratic Party Chairman Mark Brewer was the mastermind behind the plot.
...."I thought I was being a loyal party soldier, doing just what the Republicans would do," he wrote. "I deserve all the scorn I got.
I'm not interested in relitigating the past, but I got six felonies and he got another term as chair."

Why do we have two sets of rules when politicians lie, steal and cheat?!! 
One for democrats and an entirely different rule for GOPers.
Does anyone benefit when the MSM allows democrats to lie, cheat and steal at will?
Take a look at ANY democrat controlled city and tell me how that's worked out for the kids and the poor!

Ten Years After Columbia

PJ Media » Ten Years After Columbia:
We will never know what thoughts went through the minds of Columbia’s doomed crew in that last minute in which they were becoming aware of their imminent peril. 
Perhaps, being the rational pilots and engineers that they were, they were simply focused on trying to save the ship. 
It could have been something as pragmatic as, “I wish that we’d had a better look at the leading edge of that wing.” 
What we can know is that they died doing something that they had worked years to be able to do, and they loved it, and thought it important. 
If we now fear to open up the high frontier because of what happened to them, they will have died in vain.

RIP brave heroes
