Trucker Randy

The Republican State
Committee is holding its meeting this weekend near Traverse City in Antrim
County, home of Trucker Randy Bishop, the “oaf” of the tea party who has openly
declared war on the Michigan GOP.

That’s right – the GOP
is holding its big gathering where the Antrim County Republican chairman,
Trucker Randy, speaks out against top Republican officials such as the governor
and lieutenant governor.There’s one other
thing: Trucker Randy is a two-time felon due to some fraudulent practices he
engaged in while in the home construction business in Macomb County about a
decade ago. He also lost his business license because of those shenanigans.
These days, he’s
apparently trying to make some extra cash by working for the campaign to create
a part-time legislature.

Meanwhile, he will no
doubt be a prominent figure this weekend as the host for the State Committee. A
photo of Trucker Randy and GOP Chairman Bobby Schostak, who Bishop would like
to give the boot, would be priceless.
Sedenquist

Speaking of the
Michigan GOP’s criminals (real or alleged) it will also be interesting to see
if one of Trucker Randy’s buddies, Doug Sedenquist of the U.P., shows up for
the State Committee meeting. Sedenquist, a tea party rebel, is facing a series
of criminal charges in Michigan and Wisconsin yet remains a State Committee
member, along with the trucker.

Paul Neumeier of
Escanaba, the former chair of the Delta County Republican Party who wrote in
March that the GOP was witnessing a takeover by a “band of bullies,” addressed the
Sedenquist matter recently in a message to party activists. The electronic
version of the message that I acquired cuts the right margin of the text by a
smidgen but it’s not hard to follow along.
Here is his stinging commentary:
