Is It October Already?
Posted by Andy on April 26th, 2007
Sadly it is if you’re in the 6th District Republican State Vice Chair race, it is.
I’m honored, pissed, and disturbed. I’ve made it to the big time now I guess. I’ve had my first hit piece mailed out against me. Yep, someone ( I say someone because the coward didn’t have the courage to sign the letter or even use a return address) has sent a letter to 6th District Delegates and Alternates attacking me.
I guess people are scared about me actually winning this thing. Why else would they attack me like this? I don’t think many have been quite as supportive of Representative Bachmann since last Summer and especially since she won office as myself.
Well, I guess this is life in politics. I can give, I suppose it is time to take. At least I have the courage to put my name behind my statements.
And while I am posting this, others have received the letter as well and are calling me to say how disgusting they find it.
I can reassure you all that one of my opponents has already called to say it wasn’t them, and that they too were disgusted. And I highly doubt it was the other. I’m guessing it was…. well, we’ll never know.
But this we do know. They did have access to the current (as in the one just finalized a few short weeks ago) (My mistake, I goofed, it was the State Central list that was just finalized. This one is from last year’s convention cylce. My apologies!)Delegate and Alternate list.
Such is politics.

I’m sure it was just some staffer from the state party or somebody taking orders from someone at the state party. There I said it.

Not what I meant at all. I seriously mean that.

What a crappy thing to do–not to mention cowardly.
I got the letter myself. The “writer” didn’t even have the cajones to sign his name, and then he has the nerve to fling poo at you.
Some people’s kids.
I have more comments here.

Andy, so long as none of it is true, and unsigned letters usually are not, no right-thinking person should lend it any credence whatsoever, nor should it bother you. Look, there are always people who disagree with you, and others who are just plain disagreeable. Learn from the former, ignore the latter, accentuate the positive, and good luck to you.

Hmm, after seeing what Psycmeistr posted of this letter, I’ve changed my opinion. I don’t see anything “disagreeable” about the letter, or the snippet P posted, at least. This person has an opinion about Andy’s fitness for the office, based on the writer’s OPINION of what he reads here. Heck, even /I/ have an opinion.
If I thought Andy was going to State Exec just to throw rocks, I wouldn’t be supporting him, either. I’ve had and seen too much of that already, and it’s that kind of “stuff” that costs us elections, which prevents us from advancing our principles. There is such a thing as a Party with such high standards that nobody can join it. I don’t think we have that problem, yet, and I don’t want to start.
