Divisive, angry, militaristic - that's our Thad

In a recent 90-minute interview with the conservative Washington Times, Congressman Thaddeus McCotter made clear his abilities to neatly label people, disparage Democrats, and divide the party into two categories - pacifists, and Jewish "hawks". I'd love to hear what else he had to say in the 80-plus minutes that aren't on the Times' website.

For those familiar with McCotter, these antics are nothing new. But for those who aren't too sure who their Congressman is, and may be finding this website for the first time - stay a while and look around. He is NOT the moderate he claims to be. It is no coincidence that Halloween is so close to Election Day. Every other year, Thaddeus McCotter puts on his "moderate" mask, and goes trick-or-treating for votes. But underneath the costume, there isn't a cute little kid looking for candy; no, behind the facade is one of the most right-wing, ideological conservatives in Congress today. He is not in Washington to represent the mainstream values of the 11th District - he is there to promote himself and to advance his ideology within the Republican Party first and foremost.

On November 4th, think about who Thaddeus McCotter is really working for. You have a chance to vote for a candidate who will listen to the needs of the people he represents, and who will bring much needed change to a Congress that must move beyond the sort of angry, divisive politics Thaddeus McCotter embraces.

For new leadership, vote for Joseph Larkin.
