Hey Bob! Do You Write Your Mother with this E-mail?
I get a lot of e-mail from a lot of candidates for a lot of offices. In this case it’s one from Robert Croddy. Croddy is a former 7th District Congressional Candidate and is currently vying for the Chairmanship of the Marion County Republican Party.
Croddy has sent out a number of e-mails, but the latest one has raised my eyebrows. Croddy asks for the support of fellow Republicans at slating this weekend. He touts his political and business experience. But he also says this…
It has been from these everyday studies that a boy from Center Township has learned to empower himself rather than to rely on the government like his single Mother, a Marion County Democrat activist, taught him to do. It is because of these studies that I seek to be the voice of the Marion County Republican Party.
I interpret this as Croddy attacking his own mother in an effort to become County Chairman. Am I wrong? I don’t know about you, but if I was seeking the chairmanship of any political party I don’t think I would draw my mother into the argument nor would I say she was a single mother who relied on the government, even if it were true.
Call me crazy, but I don’t think this is the way to endear yourself to your fellow Republicans, even if your mother was a Democrat.
