From the Michigan Messenger by way of TPID:
With the Republican and Democratic candidates already decided by the party primaries earlier this month, a third party — the U.S. Taxpayers Party of Michigan — has announced its list of candidates for various offices in the state. Among them is a physician from Fremont who advocates the killing of abortion doctors.
Dr. Ronald Graeser has run for the U.S. House of Representatives from the 2nd District before under the auspices of the USTPM, the state affiliate of the openly theocratic Constitution Party.

While I’m pro life & a US Taxpayers Party candidate in Michigan, I would never advocate the killing of an abortion doctor (or the killing of anyone for any reason for that matter).
Every party has a few folks with extremist views. Unfortunately, it’s the extremist view that makes headlines while good 3rd Party candidates must fight hard to even get a glance from the media.

You’re making a larger assumption based on one extremist view.

I have never advocated such a position but I was once asked by someone who have been a Republican candidate for office in CT and is in was in law enforcement “What would you call someone who killed the guards at a Nazi death camp?” He went on to say that most people would call him a hero even though according to the the law the the guards actions were legal and the person who killed him was committing murder.
This has made me think.

The above post it should be was in law enforcement. He is now retired.

I find it curious that no reference was provided for the accusation made against the doctor. Can anyone provide a reference? Or was the remark dropped to intentionally as disinformation?

= They do that to any third party that’s considered a threat to the establishment.
However the messenger is dead wrong to claim that we are a ‘Theocratic Party’, we are not!
