Hosemann: Pointless Fear Monger

Republican Delbert Hosemann who is running for Secretary of State isn't making a lot of sense.

First, like apparently all Republicans running for anything from Lt. Governor to dog catcher, he thinks that he has a plan to stop the brown people* from entering our state. Since when was it state responsibility to set immigration policy? Furthermore since when did it become a responsibility of the office of Secretary of State?

Now Hosemann inventing controversy. He says "if the election doesn't turn out on Aug. 7 like they want it, then they're going to call for another election." That's complete bull and he knows it. He knows it will get headlines and promote his image as a partisan Republican and that is why he is going through with this pointless exercise.

I hope that Republican voters haven't added telling half truths and lies to the necessary qualifications for a Secretary of State.

*I realize I shouldn't call them "brown people," but I use this as a jab at folks who attack illegal immigration when they IMHO would oppose their entry even if they were legal. A lot of the anti-illegal immigrant feelings and rhetoric are only meant to stir up racism for votes.
