1. You have called me a moderate.
   
2. You have suggested that your views are not welcome here. Your posts often make it to the front page.  Who do you think has been doing that?
   
3. You have assumed that the 1/3 of the district Allen would represent are chopped meat, and to serve them longer would be a mistake.  Further, it is likely that Traverse City will once again become a part of that district.
   
4. You have already (if you want I can link it) taken an ANTI business pro government stand with regard to the International bridge
   
5. You have assumed that your word is the last word on who is a RINO and who is not.
   
6. And you have not carried a sweet voice, but rather seem to be attempting to post what I would consider "hit pieces" and a distortion of Allen's record.  It seems quite shrill actually.
   
7. I do not claim to be the clearing house, and my posts are opinions of my own.

I guess you don't like what I say because I have started favoring particular candidates?  All of a sudden I am a shill because I support COX, who is IMO THE MOST CONSERVATIVE electable gubernatorial candidate in the race? Because I am looking forward to November with an understanding that whomever is elected to the 1st district must be able to do something to counter 80 years of progressive activism,  I am a shill? And to do so that person must have some understanding of the messed up machinery that is already in place, so I am wrong for pointing out some positive response to voter concerns?
