Politics 101: Is Susan Hutchison a Republican, Democrat or non-partisan?


 "Where" is Susan Hutchison?

This is a question that I personally believe would not be relevant were it not for the unseemly air of deception with which the candidate herself has addressed the issue. And oh by the way, yes she did in-fact ask that Bill Cosby be a write-in candidate in place of Barack Obama (guess in her jaundiced thinking, if his supporters are stupid enough to vote for a 'black man', Bill Cosby would be a 'safer choice') when she appeared on the Dave Boze show at the height of the Presidential Elections in 2008, along with Dave's wife Peggy Boze. There is no question in my mind that when you couple that with her racial discrimination law suit against her former employers for replacing her with a female Asian anchor, you can almost start to get a picture as to how this Sarah Palin knock-off actually thinks. She obviously did not think that she may have been replaced due to the fact her performance may have dipped or the ratings needed to be juiced up - a perfectly sound business decision, one you would expect a GOP conservative to agree with.

Now back to the issues of her purported non-partisanship, there is no question she is lying through her teeth on this issue as her antecedents would seem to give credence to the fact that not only is she a Republican, but she is a die-hard right wing conservative whose views would seem to be closer to those of the Pat Buchanans and Mike Huckabees of the GOP world. Not that this matters to me personally (as I absolutely do not intend to vote for her anyway much like I don't vote for right wing ignoramuses of any stripe), it's just that what is so wrong with someone who has the conviction of their beliefs actually standing up for them and damning the consequences, rather than engaging in incendiary deception bordering on artful sophistry.

In a recent TV news program Up Front, Ms. Hutchison again lied, yes she lied by saying she has never been affiliated with a political party. Huh? Continuing along her much treasured path of deception (for which she is currently being rewarded with a lead in the polls - Go Figure), when pressed as to whether she was a Republican, she responded saying, "You know, it's interesting how this issue keeps raising its head because this is a non-partisan race, and I am running because I am a non-partisan. I've never been affiliated with a party; you know we don't register (to vote by party) in this state."

Sure Susan, I also have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell to you for just a dollar. Are you kidding me? How does she get away with this obvious lies and inconsistencies? Here is a piece (below) from Seattle PI online op-ed column "Strange Bedfellows" by Neil Modie, that delves into the issue and I would say rather objectively. Remember Susan, no one really cares that you are a Republican, we just want someone in office we can trust to tell us the truth and not urinate on us, while telling us it's just raining.

    Sorry, but I disagree. EVERYONE cares if she's a Republican. This is why she is under so many attacks. The "Left Coast" hates conservatives. That's what it's all about. If everyone is so desperate for a candidate that's pure and truthful 100% of the time, Obama never would've become our president. But again, it's because she's rumored to have ties to the Republican party. If it's a non-partisan position she's running for, why do you all care so much?
