Are you about 12?

Terri Land is well known for her integrity and if looks are what you’re interested in, then just maybe you should stick to voting for American Idle candidates.

Per the article, they were attempting to recruit two other candidates to run against her and then wrote the race off when she was only candidate remaining...until she was shown to have good fundraising numbers and was polling well and are now giving the race a second look.

Kind of reminds me of the threads back in 2002 where a bunch of FReepers celebrated the victory of Mary Landrieu in Louisiana because she was better looking in their view than the Republican candidate and that the GOP candidate deserved to lose for supposedly being too ugly.

She’s certainly better by far than Rodgers or Camp. Despite the union organizer who calls her gaffe prone, nobody can remember any serious stumbles.

She comes from the establishment but has been friendly with the tea party and has a reputation for integrity.

There’s more info on the earlier thread.

the GOP can win that seat assuming all of the dead voters don’t show up to vote in November.

well not just hoping the dead don’t come back to life, we also need to make sure that half of the NFL is removed from the lists,along with every registered park bench,tree,squirrel and stray dog in Michigan.

Spending money in Michigan is probably not something the Democrats thought they would be doing. Even if we don’t win it this could take money away from more reasonable races in swing states.

The MI race is not a Primary. It will be the General Election in November.

Well, Cen-Tejas, put your pic on here and let us see how pretty you are. LOL... j/k. She’s not gorgeous but she’s not “dog-ass” ugly either. Here’s some more info for you.

What? I can’t ever remember Mary Landrieu looking better than anybody. If I had a dog that looked like her, I’d shave it’s butt and teach him to walk backwards.

“And, OMG, she is no Sarah Palin in the looks department either. “


Neither am I.

Well, now that Detroit is bankrupt and the population has dropped to nothing but about 400,000 crack heads, crack HOs and Welfare Queens, I don’t think Detroit is much of a threat. I think the new White Mayor is on top of things like voter fraud.

Speak of the devil. This Article, about Gary Peters, Dem Senate candidate in Michigan, just posted tonight:

The War on Julie Boonstra and other cancer victims who criticized ObamaCare.

The crackdown on vote fraud is a result of the Secretary of state and Attorney general. The white mayor of Detroit (Mike Duggan) has benefited from the crackdown because the powers that be did try to keep him out.

.......Let us set aside the ‘integrity’ issue you raise and assume arguendo that you are correct about it and this woman does have all the integrity you allege. Ok fine, “integrity” is indeed a great qualifier to be a senator, though rarely practiced, but it was not part of my comments and was not what I was concerned with in my comments tonight. Excuse me for being unclear. I will try a little harder.

What I AM concerned with is sir that too many people in the U.S. with your “apparent” views don’t “get it” and some of us believe that some just never will.....and, after having been had for decades, this time, we just want to focus all our efforts on electing a TRUE CONSERVATIVE to each seat resulting in a strong conservative Senate and NOT a senate populated with a group of spineless/clueless followers of the likes of Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid! This means taking a real, real HARD look at each candidate.

Now, namely, in my opinion, the most important thing a true conservative is looking for in a candidate is INNER STRENGTH, CORE CONSERVATIVE BELIEFS, CORE CONVICTIONS and most of all a strong, strong appearing candidate in November, attractive enough on the issues (and looks) to all groups yes, but particularly one that true conservatives will show up and support so we can throw Harry Reid out. Remember 2012.

Unfortunately, I don’t see anything in my five minute reading of Lynn’s resume tonight on Wiki to suggest or that is encouraging to any reader (i.e. an interested voter) that she is a Ted Cruz a Sarah Palin, a Mike Lee, Trey Gowdy, the recently elected Mr. Jolly, a Gov. Walker and on and on.

Regarding my comments on her looks, and ignoring your silly observation about American Idle, which I have never seen one minute of, “looks” are important in a candidate whether male or female. This particular womans “looks” do not score her any points or make her a stronger candidate. If you think “looks” is unimportant then we must agree to disagree.

I respectfully suggest that you point out some links to me to prove me wrong. I may be wrong about her and hope I am because I want all 33 Republican candidates to be strong, strong so they can save this country from the brink it is on. An ingredient in that effort though is for all of us, in my opinion, to dispense with PCbs and say what we think.

In the meantime, thank you for commenting on my post tonight.

Don’t bother, I don’t respect your kind enough to give it further thought.

You may go worry about your own state.

And this is looking to be a major advantage year for the GOP in fundraising.

Vote fraud is very cheap to invoke.

Repub pro-lifer Terry Bowman is up against retiring
oldster John Dingell---his blonde wife is seeking the seat.

"Delirious Debbie" must be crazy for Obamacare---
so proud when hubby was present at the signing.

John Dingell (right) looks on approvingly as Obama signs
"The Big Effin' Deal" (now known as "The Big Effin" Debacle").

Mrs Dingell baring it all in voluptuous red taxpayers
bought for her........to no avail, hubby can hardly walk.
