At the 2012 Truman Day Dinner, 2nd District Commissioner, Ann Schroeder, confessed her inspiration to run for the 109th state representative district. She’d been on the fence but when she discovered Paul Curtman’s plan to move into our area for the sole purpose of keeping his day job in Jeff City she decided to step up.
You see, because of redistricting Curtman found himself in the same district as fellow birther and conspiracy theorist, Majority Leader Tim Jones (R-Eureka). Had he tried to primary Jones, the newbie Curtman would have most certainly lost. So instead of doing the honorable thing and stepping aside he chose to change his address to keep those government paychecks rolling in. Seeing this blatant example of political opportunism being perpetrated on the county she treasures is what convinced Schroeder to fight back. Good for her.
But contemplate this: At the same time Curtman is busy taking up residency in our district for his own self-serving interests, he believes President Barack Obama is a Muslim interloper who has slipped into America from the outside for his own opportunistic and exploitative reasons. In fact, fear of the other is so horrifying to Curtman he’s wasted most of his freshman term pushing idiotic anti-Sharia Law legislation modeled by radical lawyer and white supremacist, David Yerushalmi. There’s so much hypocrisy here it makes my head hurt.
Ann’s too reserved to say so publicly but she shouldn’t be. Curtman is a carpetbagger and a hypocrite.
