oldvet: The "tea party" really did good during the last election, didn't they? Could it be that they're actually "out of touch" with today's demographics?

We need conservatives on the council. "Tea party" supporters would be ideal.
If candidates signed the Walker recall petition, it shows how out of touch they really are. Avoid them at all costs. Not avoiding them will only cost taxpayers.

Sarah Carter signed the recall petition - beware of her - she has shown she wants to spend your money. She would be in the Farrell, Liebert, Steeber camp. Broda and Smythe did not sign.
