A Critique of Doug Ericksen's Agenda

I've been accused of unfairly criticizing "deputy Republican leader" Doug Ericksen, so I'll let someone else kick-off the criticism of his latest op-ed in the B'ham Herald.

From HorsesAss.Org:
The GOP’s legislative strategy is literally full of s***

Doug Ericksen (R-Ferndale) has some truly neat-o ideas for getting the GOP back into the game!
Our state must also do a better job of monitoring and addressing sex offenders. State government needs to be proactive, not reactive.

Start with your own caucus, homeboy.
On the local front, I’m working on many issues including repealing the state mandate on septic tank inspections, creating public trails districts, and ensuring local transportation projects are delivered. At the end of the legislative session we will know we were successful if we can say, “They said it couldn’t be done — but together we proved them wrong.”

Putting the kibosh on septic tank inspection? Gov. Dan Evans had his “Blueprint For Progress”… Rep. Doug Ericksen has “repealing the state mandate on septic tank inspections”.

Nothing says “solid strategy for winning back the majority” like septic tank reform.

Man, these republicans are totally &^%*ed up. They pretend that septic tanks are an issue when millions of people are being killed in our name in Iraq.

Doug Ericksen is douche of the Month.
