It’s hatred for Stupak. I have no idea what Benishek’s positions on anything are. I will check before sending him any actual money, but I joined his Facebook group without a second thought.
LOL, both work.
I really like that idea. Has a nice ring to it.
The main targets should be those like stupidpak that pushed this over the top. No way should this jerk be left standing. He thought nobama and peelousi were hell, just wait. He looks like the type to throw in the towel before NOV because of the pressure (sort of like giving in to baby killers).
Glad to hear that there are others, this guy really doesn’t seem ready for prime time. No idea how to run a website, use paypal, or hire someone to help?
He may be a nice guy, but we need someone that can get things done. A serious challenger to pose a serious risk. It has been proven that technology is playing a important role in the modern age of campaigns.
But this brings up an important question, how come the RNC doesn’t have free candidate website templates, domain registration, web service technical support, Search Engine Optimization support, and recommended social networking solutions for these candidates?
Is the RNC this technically inept? I have to provide this to all my clients or I would be doing them a disservice.
Tried to use the Drudge link on article re Stupak trading vote for airport dollars and was advised that my ISP # was blocked. So tried some other links to Stupak and got the same response. My dollars are going to anyone running against him toot sweet!
I’d like to see a website with links to all the campaigns we need to support, starting with whoever is challenging Pelosi, Stupak, et al. We don’t need to contribute alot if alot us contribute.
I just followed him on Facebook and Twitter.
Re: “Don’t be stuck on Stupak.”
Absolutely perfect.
I will be campaigning for Benishek. I’ve never volunteered time for a candidate before, but I will this time.
Sell-Out Stooge Stupak has an opponent ................. PING!

“But by late last night, the RNC had stepped in and set up a PayPal account for him so he could raise money online. “I didn’t have an online way to get any money, so they were all upset with me.
But I got something up finally late last night and I don’t know, it’s just been unbelievable, the support,” Benishek said.
“I’m not sure if it’s support for me or just hatred for Bart Stupak. But a lot of people saw what I stood for on Facebook, at least, and seemed to connect with that, with my bio and position statement, so I was overwhelmed by the support.”…
Benishek concedes he has got his work cut out for him, as he’s just getting started introducing himself to the voters. “The people have to vote for me,” he explained.
“Not the people who write me and say stuff about me on the blogs in Arizona … I certainly appreciate that and I certainly appreciate the financial help, but I have to still communicate with the constituents here.”
Benishek said it’s been “daunting” because he’s “been getting a lot of advice from people, contradictory advice.” “So that’s been a little bit of a problem. I don’t know exactly how to proceed. I just have to give it my best judgment and move forward,” he said.
God bless this guy- heard him last night on Mark’s show- he is humble, soft-spoken- has wit and is at this point- overwhelemed by the support he’s receiving.
Welcome to the big leagues, Doc.
Cheap whor* chump.
From 912 member Carol :
Dr. Dan Benishek is running against Bart Stupak.
He is a Republican and a doctor. I read his short bio and what he stands for on his Facebook and he hits all the right notes on all the major issues.
The link to his Facebook page is below:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&ref=share&gid=287806148754
He does have a website but it isn’t much so it’s probably better to go to the Facebook site.
Just donated $35.
Funny you should ask that question.
Last Thursday at our Tea Party meeting we had Tom Ellis, the head of the Butler County GOP there. Butler County is one of the stalwart Conservative Counties in Ohio......despite the GOP. Besides a really bad head rug his excuses for the GOP in general were weak.
Obama only won Stupak’s district with a slim 50% of the vote. George W Bush carried it twice, so this seat is definitely winnable.
Tea party or the RNC needs to setup a Candidate IT support division that provides web services, social networking, search engine optimization, etc... they take in millions and can’t pay a small IT savvy firm a hundred grand to setup something remarkable for all the candidates throughout the nation? They pay that for one speaker...
Thanks - will try. My initial response was “What do you mean I’ve been blocked - how dare they!”. Looks like limited access to lots of things is coming down the pike. Not the American I thought I would live in as a senior.
Linda Goldthorpe, as it turns out, is a screwball.
