Steve came on the scene as a humble, prayer led, service before self style of candidate. He spoke of his respect for Robert Blendu often, yet when it came to win or lose…he went negative and did it with gusto.

I never cared much for Blendu’s personality and thought Steve had some potential. Now, my personal opinion is his humble Christian servant role is just a facade; his actions are driven by personal ambition and desire for power. He wants to be a big name and doesn’t care who or what he hurts to gain it.

Hard work and heavy campaigning shouldn’t require one to abandon their values. He can be ruthless if he chooses, but please leave the “just a youth pastor called to serve” out of his narrative and “after much prayer” out of the testimony of his decision making process.

You also labeled Bouie a newcomer, that’s much more accurate.

I have to say…great vote on the principles of your party.

Well done voters of District 3.

It’s not a done deal until November 4. I can foresee more than one Republican crossing Party lines in this particular race. Besides isn’t “clean elections” scrutinizing his bookkeeping practices as well as his “in kind” donations of advertising from Crump.

Not that it matters, but it wasn’t Carolyn Allen, it was former LD11 State Rep. John Allen. And it is 5 seats now on the Corp. Comm.

The cry for “party unity” is really an oxymoron. It won’t happen.

The accusations, hatred and name calling from the “Border Hugging Crowd” is so prevalent “within the movement” that these people have become something completely FOREIGN to anything resembling the Republican Party.

They are angry mutineers hiding with the Republican Party because there is not another place w/ $$$ and organization for them to go. They’re doing nothing different than the illegal aliens they cry about. They snuck in (under false pretenses w/ a hidden agenda), have stayed behind to plant the “grassroots” and are milking the $$$ and print out of the Republican Party wherever they can.

The “Border Hugger Movement” poison rarely escapes into the public forum because they eat and protect their own.

Until now.

Don’t drink the Kool-Aid and keep your ears and eyes open.

Stay tuned.

“The citizans have once again proven that all the mud slinging and negative campaign tactics in the world can’t fool them every time.” Every time is the key here because it worked in LD12. I’m very disappointed in the campaign that was run there. Yes, Steve Montenegro won, but lost my respect.

Heck, even the Democrats in district 29 bounced Tom Prezelski (NRA rating of F) for Dan Patterson (NRA rating of B).

Real call for unity there. They haven’t put anything away.
