The David Harmer Puzzle
It’s hard to get the full picture when you only see one or two pieces to a puzzle. With regards to David Harmer and his campaign the pieces are finally starting to come together. I can
promise you that my campaign against Harmer IS NOT because I think he is the front-runner. I think a lot of people see him as the front-runner so they are naturally going after him. I, however, think that with all of his baggage, Harmer would be devastating to the Republican party during the general election and if he were to squeak out a victory would be devastating to our district.
With that being said let’s look at the puzzle pieces (keep in mind that this stuff will be used against him in the general if he wins the nomination):
- Harmer got terminated from his job and is looking for a job: Harmer ran a failed campaign in Utah and just finished a failed campaign in CD-10 last November.
- Harmer is carpetbagging into a district that looks a lot different than his. He cannot properly represent us. In his last failed campaign against Garamendi, Harmer accused his opponent of doing this exact same thing. Flip….flop. Lack of consistency. My own personal opinion is that it’s ok to carpetbag if there are no other alternatives and if you can properly represent the district you are wanting to run in. We do have other alternatives very capable of beating McNerney and they live here and are more capable of properly knowing our aches and pains.
- Harmer has pulled out the religious card and has used it to gain more support from his church. David Harmer essentially announced his candidacy in the Mormon Times but when Elizabeth Emken posted a thumbnail of the Mormon Times article on a mailer he cried foul. I personally think that his response is dirty and desperate. We don’t need religious martyrs we need representation.
- Harmer’s contributions are coming from outside of the 11th District raising concerns as to who he will actually represent. A lot of people in the party just want Republican representation. Am I wrong to want proper representation of my district on top of the Republican label? I’ve found that just Republican representation has not always been the best thing in the past. Here is an article I wrote on just this: If He Wins, Who Will David Harmer Represent?
- Harmer did indeed refuse to take a position on gay-marriage in his last race back last November. If he does indeed have a position as I’ve been told by supporters, this will come up in the general.
- Harmer aligned himself with former CD-11 opponent Robert Beadles by making him co-chair to the Harmer campaign. Beadles has a TON of baggage himself (9/11 truther, being raided by the Sheriff’s office, get-rich quick schemes etc). Whether or not that stuff is true, it’ll come up in the general.
- Harmer has seemingly obtained at least one endorsement in a questionable fashion bringing in to question his honesty and integrity. This will come up in the general. Here is the article I wrote on just this: Did the David Harmer Campaign Steal the CRA Endorsement?
- Harmer took an unemployment check for $2395 after receiving an alleged stimulus bailout severance and bonus that totaled $159992 from JPMorgan Chase. Here is the article I wrote on just this: David Harmer, “We’re Disgusted by It!” This will indeed come up in the general election if Harmer gets the nomination. It calls into question his conservatism among other things.
- More miscellaneous items like opponents signs falling down, strange behavior in front of FOX News cameras etc. You can find videos at Conservative New Media.
All of these items help the picture come more into focus. David Harmer is not the guy we need going up against McNerney in the general. In my opinion he is a liability that us conservatives can’t afford to have going into the general. There are three other candidates who do not carry the baggage that Harmer does.
It’s no secret that my choice is Brad Goehring. Brad Goehring is a local farmer who knows the aches and pains of our district because he has grown up here. Brad Goehring is a patriot who’s devotion is to our Constitution before the Republican party and I respect that a great deal. Brad Goehring is a regular guy. He is not a politician but has felt the call of patriotism to step up into the public spotlight to represent a district that he loves enough to call it his home.
Join me in supporting Brad Goehring for Congress!
