My point was that the attack on MacLeod was unwarranted as was Hogan's complaint about the convention.<BR/><BR/>I'm not even saying that we all ought to back MacLeod for the good of the party or the sake of unity or any other reason that has nothing to do with the candidate himself. I don't believe we ought to reward Hogan for throwing bombs because that's all he can do to draw attention to himself.<BR/><BR/>If he wants to run against the system, fine. I think he could get support from people who disagree with the nominating process and make that his cause. He could then run against MacLeod, pointing out that MacLeod was the nominee as the result of the process he disagrees with. Then he's challenging the system without needlessly attacking a fellow Republican.<BR/><BR/>I reiterate that I do not claim that Hogan has no right to run in the Primary or that his doing so is wrong in anyway. I don't like what he has done in an attempt to attract attention to himself. <BR/><BR/>Fittingly, I could say the same thing about Murray Sabrin. <BR/><BR/>Lugar96Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20985341.post-43480352187379625552008-04-12T09:43:00.000-04:002008-04-12T09:43:00.000-04:00Teddy Roosevelt addressed...

I'm pretty loyal, but come on...what does it really matter if we let Hogan go after Pallone instead of the judge?<BR/><BR/>Art: You should host a debate or two or some questions for both these guys on your blog. I think it would be great to see.<BR/><BR/>I disagree with a few of Hogan's positions and his website kinda scares me (esp. the local issues with the geese thing), but why the hell not?<BR/><BR/>Then again, I don't really have a say since I vote up in the 5th CD. But hey, since I temporarily live her until I graduate probably, I figure I might as well take an interest in Monmouth politics..ha.ESedlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16392181554662969184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20985341.post-25205748726610194722008-04-11T15:53:00.000-04:002008-04-11T15:53:00.000-04:00I'm not a big fan of that "Hogan kid." But I do be...I'm not a big fan of that "Hogan kid." But I do believe in Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment and here he is violating that notion because he needs attention. <BR/><BR/>As far as I know, Robert MacLeod is not some party hack. I haven't heard anything negative said about him over and above that he is not the most dynamic guy in the world.<BR/><BR/>I don't think he got the party nod because he's corrupt or connected. I think he was nominated because he was a safe, i.e. non-controversial, choice for the nomination in a race where the Democrat is most assuredly going to win.<BR/><BR/>Young Mr. Hogan has no real cause to go after MacLeod. He can offer himself up as an alternative without doing that.<BR/><BR/>I've read a couple of Hogan's posts and one indicated he had been shut out of the nominating process when really he had missed deadlines for inclusion. Now, he goes after another Republican. And we are supposed to applaud his ability at self promotion? <BR/><BR/>If he were merely voicing his opposition to the process or to the chairmen who run the process, or even if he were to run against another Republican who had abused his governmental position and then attack, maybe I would take him more seriously. <BR/><BR/>To me, he's like a six year old who swears. At first, maybe he's funny. Then he becomes tiresome and eventually he becomes distasteful. <BR/><BR/>He seemed like an earnest and serious minded guy when I ran into him at the convention, but I'm not a fan of these tactics.<BR/><BR/>Lugar96Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20985341.post-20024548090559974902008-04-11T12:55:00.000-04:002008-04-11T12:55:00.000-04:00That's the right guy, Teddy.That's the right guy, Teddy.Barry Goldwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16748463342806990279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20985341.post-15377296084464181142008-04-11T10:14:00.000-04:002008-04-11T10:14:00.000-04:00I like this 'Kid" too.
