What is the connection?

Strategic National, a political consulting firm is run by John Yob whose dad, Chuck Yob was a member of the Republican National Committee for a number of years, provides consulting for Governor Snyder, Attorney General Bill Schuette and Former Secretary of State and US Senate candidate, Terri Land.

Over $250,000 was paid in consulting fees by the Snyder for Governor campaign, $15,000 by the Bill Schuette (that I can find so far) campaign and tens of thousands of dollars through Terri Land's various campaign committee for the various offices that she has sought to Strategic National.

You may be thinking, "So what?", consultants do work for many candidates and that is true however the connections run deeper.

Eric St. Onge and Matthew C. Hall are both well known members of the Yob political clique and both are paid employees of the State of Michigan out of Bill Schuette's office. When the Michigan Republican Party had it's last state committee meeting both of them were lobbying committee members to vote against any repudiation of Dave's Agema's incendiary remarks.

At the last state convention when RNC Committeman, Saul Anuzis was ousted by the Yob faction they began recruiting TEA Party members to come to the State Convention and vote for Dave Agema on the theory that Anuzis was somehow a liberal. Not doing their homework the TEA Party took the word of Michigan's biggest John McCain (Juan McCain?) supporters, the Yobs and they ousted Anuzis.

Now here were are, a couple of years later and Mr Agema is a total embarrassment. The few supporters that he has refuse to address what he has actually said and instead go along with it because they don't think that facts have to coincide with their conclusions on gays or Muslims.

There are only a couple of prominent Republicans in Michigan that have not condemned Agema's remarks by name and it is because 1) They fear TEA party reprisal. (Even though the TEA Party has no idea they aren't taking marching orders from unquestionably conservative politcos). 2) They are all connected to the Chuck/John Yob faction.

Dave Agema can stand tall in his bigotry because the Yob network is protecting him and preventing their clients from using any force to remove him. The Yob Faction is the only reason that Dave Agema has not been forced out. And the TEA Party is being led around by the nose by the bringers of the "amensty aficianado" John McCain to Michigan.

Dave Agema avoided today's RNC Committee meeting because he didn't want to face the ridicule. Instead he sent his pal Chuck Yob. Who coincidentially pays for Mr. Agema's travel to these meetings through various means.
