Yeah, he’s in the next district over from me and has little choice but to be pro union. Personally I think he’s really working toward a run at Carl Levin’s senate seat in the future.
That said, McCotter would be good in debates. A great replacement for Huntsman.
That's a little like saying, "Yeah, well, Barbara Boxer is from liberal California and has little choice but to support insane leftist policies".
I mean, I could understand McCotter avoiding divisive votes on union issues. He could quietly just vote no on the most outrageous stuff they demand. But Thad McCotter voted FOR Card Check and was a SPONSOR of the $165 billion dollar union pension bailout.
I am all for voting for the most conservative candidate that can win in a given area. I appreciate the fact that someone representing a union district can't be a stalwart against union thuggery. But this McCotter actually voted in favor of stripping Americans of the their right to secret ballot union elections. Even George McGovern opposed that. And to actually SPONSOR a massive union pension bailout? That's just too much.

Agreed. He’s brilliant.
