Independent pledges to spend $2 million in 1st Congressional(MI)

With the dust barely settled following a dog-fight primary for the open seat held by U.S. Congressman Bart Stupak, D-Menominee, a new dimension was added Monday for the general election.

Glenn Wilson, an independent candidate and Rose City business owner who filed to run in the 1st Congressional district, pledged to spend $2 million in an attempt to shatter two-party politics.

"I'm looking forward to sending the message from Northern Michigan voters to the entrenched power in Washington that principle is more important than party loyalties," Wilson said in a statement announcing his active campaign.

Running for the 1st Congressional district is the first political venture for Wilson, who owns a telephone and Internet provider service called M-33 Access in northeastern Michigan.

1. Oh puh-leeze. I'm so sick of guys running for Congress
on an anti-Congress platform. I really am. It makes me sick.

Sometimes I think that if the American people really thought about it, they'd realize that they weren't sick of partisan politics--they're sick of people who diss partisan politics to get a gig IN partisan politics. As JFK said, it's one of our oldest and most neglected professions. Partisan politics are actually okay--it ensures a lively debate and genuine differences of opinion and it presents people with clear choices when they go to vote.
