The Sunday Free Press also had a huge section on the race
for the congressional seat in District 11 left vacant by Thaddeus McCotter (R).
The race is important, as I have stated before, because the
district has been a Republican stronghold for many, many years and maybe in
danger of turning Democratic.
I was glad to see that the Free Press really did their
homework on Kerry Bentivolio, the Republican candidate for the seat. The Free
Press and our local paper, the Canton Observer, pushed the fact that Bentivolio
has refused to debate with other candidates for the seat and has refused all
interviews, basically running a campaign on silence.
He is convinced, I am guessing, that the fact that this
district has always voted Republican and will automatically do the same this
time even if the candidate is totally unsuitable to be in that position. The
Free Press is calling Bentivolio a “front runner” because he is, without even
campaigning…do you see a problem here?
Bentivolio was once a home builder who went bankrupt and
stiffed many vendors out of thousands of dollars. He became a professional
Santa raising his own reindeer as well as a teacher for a few years.
To me, the fact that he will not engage in debates or grant
interviews means that he is not willing to let the District 11 electorate get
to know him and question him on his positions, automatically disqualifies him
from consideration for the position representing District 11 in Washington…I
think that has to make sense to everyone voting in the district.
To me, Dr. Syed Taj has earned the right to represent the
district in Washington
by going to the voters and discussing with them his positions on issues and why
he can effectively represent the people in District 11.
NO for Bentivolio
YES for Taj
