Here in Northfield Township right outside of Ann Arbor, part of the 7th district, I remember Schwarz very well. He was awful, arrogant, elitist, and thought he knew what was best for us. If you did not agree with him, you were an idiot in his eyes. To be blunt, he's a jackass. He was good to UM, but not all of us here are UM. The rest of us were just rednecks to him. That is why I always voted for his opponent. Tim Walberg did a good job for me. He's a good man, and will have my vote this August.
Former congresscritter Schwarz now wants to run for governor again. He didn't get the message in 2002. He didn't get the message in 2006. The biggest reason I think is that he just has a tendency to piss people off.
I'm going to forward this article to a friend of mine who is a prominent blogger and well connected to the Republicans. He'll love this. Schwarz crossed him way back in 2000 and 2002 over 2nd Amendment issues. He usually doesn't lose his cool, but Schwarz just pisses him off, which Schwarz eventually does, to all of us.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the scumbag weren’t planning to run for no other reason than screwing over republicans. After losing the primary to Walberg he announced a write in campaign days before the general election in 06.
Maybe he can count on a McCain endorsement again.
Miraculously,another RAT office holder announced he was leaving the RAT Party to run as an "independent',thus basically insuring that Coupe Deval is reelected with 37% of the vote.
Doubtful. Schwarz is a liberal DIABLO. If I were the Democrats, I wouldn’t want him running, because he’ll take liberal votes from them.
Let him run all he wants, he won’t go anywhere. He has little basis for any sort of fundraising like the rats, or the GOP candidates who are raising serious cash.
And good riddance to that sleazebag Schauer too, his days are number to the tune of Nov. 4.
Moleface out there this morning saying Pokulus has *created* 48,000 jobs in MI, this tramp is going to be the easy to run against.
I’ve pretty much made up my mind on who I’m going to support in the primary and that’s the one who slaps Granholm around the most. Since she ran against Bush in 2006 instead of DeVos and got away with it, the GOP candidate needs to run against her & Obama.
Heard a blistering radio ad today from a third party ‘eagle something’ going after Hoekstra for supporting TARP, banning guns in DC, stuff like that as “beltway” which shows there’s a lot of DC anger out there.
Going to be an interesting race to say the least - and look for the GOP to take back the state house for a trifecta.
Less than four years ago, U.S. Rep. Joe Schwarz was huddled in his war room at Schuler's pub in Marshall awaiting the results of his GOP primary election against Tim Walberg.Thanks Darren McCarty.
The further away from the mushy middle Republicans move (e.g. RIGHT), the less of a threat independents and other third party candidates will become.
WORD!
I can't stand him.
Susan Dumbass is a radical leftist, its no wonder she likes him.
