The only answer that makes sense is that they want to use the grossly unfair advantages they have over the other candidates who won’t be allowed to campaign at city-owned senior citizens complexes, and won’t get free publicity on the Dearborn public access channels.

Disingenuous??

As for saying this is some sort of ethical problem…both our candidates for President in 2008 were standing Senators at the time. It is usual that candidates for President are standing office-holders of one kind or another. If only non-office holders could run for office the pool of candidates would shrink greatly. Look, if you don’t like George Darany, that is fine, but his right to seek higher office is the same as anybody’s. His experience as a business owner and City councilman certainly seems a better training ground than Mrs. Tafelski, who has been a schoolteacher for many years. Consider, though, that we had Agnes Dobronski hold state office for us for many years, and her training ground was that she worked in the office of the Dearborn schools! The voters liked her just fine. Those who say we don’t have good candidates have a solution right at their fingertips…they could run for the office themselves.
