The Other Republican Running For Stupak's Seat

Posted on 03/21/2010 5:52:39 PM PDT by ajr276

Since announcing his candidacy for Bart Stupak's seat today, Dr. Dan Benishek's Facebook page has gone viral:

Benishek For Congress

All the best to him, but there is another individual running for the same seat who it appears is also worthy of Freeper consideration. Linda Goldthorpe has a Facebook page and a website. She is able to take Online donations at her website (which cannot currently be done at the Benishek Facebook page).

At this point, a pian playing chicken would be a viable opponent to Stupak.

I’ve been throwing money at elections outside my own state for awhile now—I see I need to expand the operation & sacrifice some of my spending money.

He’s gone from just a few 100 a few days ago he’s now at 6,449 on his facebook. People are hopping mad.

WAIT!~ Check her out first...I heard a tweet she’s a union tool. I’m not saying that’s true...just check her out first before you promote her.

I truly laughed out loud. I needed some humor and you provided it. Thanks. :) (I knew you meant “piano”)

I will wait a few days for the dust to settle before sending out any money. I want to know who is on first?

Just a quick search came up with nothing about unions supporting her.

I found her to be categorized as a “Ron Paul” Conservative. A great pro bono lawyer, and a Republican against health care in my search.

Anything else?

If Benishek had a link for Online donations I’d agree. The lack of preparedness makes me wary.

That seems like the best approach.

I read it at Hillbuzz, but that poster was uncertain. Someone posted her article found here, which is more reassuring. I’m not a big Ron Paul fan though.

Linda Goldthorpe is another aniwar loon

These RINOS such as Ron Paul, Medina and Goldthorp who
run as Republicans but are anti war libertarians are
disingenuous to say the least

Okay, I looked at her web site. Appears to be a Ron Paul supporter.

It seems to ramble about meaningless stuff like “I’ve been to events where candidates outnumbered “civilians”, 3 to 1. We could save a lot of money if we just rented a bus and all the candidates rode together.”

I’ll stick with Benishek thank you. Benishek addresses the issues straitforward. And he has an energy plan that makes sense and is the exact opposite of what Obama wants to do to us.

“I’m embarrassed by Republicans bombing the world in my name,” she said, when asked to distinguish herself from Hooper, the maverick three-time candidate from Iron River who says the country cannot afford to pull out of the world’s trouble spots, including Iraq.

She seems to be not Republican. A lawyer is a Lawyer..And we got into the trouble we are in because of lawyers.
