Another Voice
Sep 7th, 2010 by David Anderson
Endorsement from Thomas A. Glessner, JD
President
National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA)
In 2010 America is at a crossroad. This midterm election will influence the direction of the nation for generations to come. There are many issues involved but most important is the issue of life.
Glen Urquhart is a former Reagan appointee who has the experience, ability, conviction and courage to make the changes necessary to stop the current socially radical pro-abortion and anti – family agenda that now leads in Congress.
During those Reagan years Glen was in a unique position to observe and learn how to return a nation back to financial prosperity and to help advance a culture that values and protects life in the womb.
It is for these reasons I enthusiastically Glen Urquhart for Delaware’s only congressional seat in Congress. He will be a strong voice for the unborn, your family and our nation.
Thomas A. Glessner, JD, president of the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA). (The mention of NIFLA is for identification purposes only and does not amount to an organizational endorsement.)
Where is the “Rape Victims for Urkle” facebook group?
Yet another pro-Urquhart post from the paid staffer. Give me a break.
His Bio. doesn’t look like that of a “paid staffer”.

Jim….the commenter is referring to David Anderson, the fellow who posted this endorsement on this Blog.
Anderson IS a paid employee of the Urquhart campaign. Anderson has so stated this time and again. The anti-Urquhart folks, the Ruling Class Blue Bloods in other words, seem to think that a Blogger shouldn’t oughta be taking any kind of stand on upcoming elections. ESPECIALLY when it’s against their guys I must suppose.
Anderson DOES post press releases from other campaigns but hey, here’s a small clue….this Blog is NOT an impartial newspaper. No Blog is. A reader should maybe assume that a paid employee of any political campaign might show a favorable leaning to that candidate.
Except for those supporters for candidates beyond those endorsed by Delaware’s Ruling Class Blue Blood GOP as they are ugly Neanderthals without a whit of class and who are, essentially, pathetic.
Puke! Glen Urquat makes me ****!
Yet another pro-Urquhart post from the paid staffer. Give me a break.…SF
You want a break? Then join the bitch session at Delaware Liberal with the rest of Mouse’s Mouseketeers featuring Camera Weenie.
Pat is right, I post almost every relevent press release sent by other campaigns. I am certainly going to post it from my team. I don’t have to worry about saying that I am now a full time communications director because I have SF around. Saves me space.
I guess he hasn’t figured out an excuse for the other dozen campaigns.

A person has the right to seek employment and support the candidate of his choice.
Rick should know this. Whether he agrees or not, there is certainly nothing wrong with taking on the job of communications director for a person you support.
He just has no other points to argue.
Actually it was stossel fan that Rick was referring to. Rick is on our side.
What scares them is that I am effective. We have tripled our polling numbers with effective messaging among other things such as organization, a great strategy team, and tremendous volunteers. Obviously, a lot of the credit goes to a great candidate who stays on message, works hard, and does his best every day.

In response to this (post 2):

What does my post have to do with someone ‘seek[ing] employment’ or ‘taking a job as communications director?’
