Mitt’s Bumpy Ride In Michigan

Mitt Romney’s literature and signs have been at every Republican event for years. He had quite an organization in 2008 with signs that said, “Michigan for Mitt,” with the cute reference of the appearance of the lower peninsula being a mitten, and Mitt’s name, well, it’s just precious.

But here we are, 9 days from Michigan’s Presidential Primary, which the GOP in Michigan moved up and lost half of it’s delegates as a result, and now Mitt has to actually compete.

Mitt lost Iowa, Missouri, Colorado, South Carolina, and Minnesota, and may lose Maine. He has so far won New Hampshire, Nevada and Florida.

So as I read what is happening downstate and about how wonderful Mitt is, I noticed how the press says Romney has not defended the auto bailout, and that it will hurt him. Michigan Republicans defend the auto-bailout because Michigan is the auto industry and it’s too big to fail, etc.

Then I typed, “Mitt Romney supported auto bailouts,” into my little google search thingy and I found out that he . He was for it before he was against it. Gee, and the Michigan GOPers can’t figure out why there isn’t more loyalty to a guy who left Michigan 50 years ago, and is the son of the moderate Republican Governor who introduced the first sales tax in Michigan.

The Romney Campaign introduced in which Romney is driving around his “hometown” of Detroit, with the classic boarded up Detroit homes and desolation, and he says with a straight face, “President Obama did all these things the liberals have wanted to do for years….and Detroit families are hurting.” Meanwhile, everyone is thinking, um, Mitt, you signed Romneycare, universal healthcare for Massachusetts and gave Obama the blueprint for something the liberals have wanted to do for a hundred years. Which is worse, a liberal doing what liberals do, or a Republican enabler?

I have read that Tim Pawlenty is coming up north to Traverse City to , even though Pawlenty’s Minnesota was won by Santorum. Oh well, I’m sure no one will bring that up. Mention cherries, Tim, that’ll have ’em eating out of your hand.

Meanwhile, I read with great humor that I thought was a parody, but it’s actually true. Mitt thinks Michigan is just so wonderful, and he loves the trees and the water and the sky, the clouds, the cars, the lets see, what else is Michigan about? Oh, and driving cars…

Bumpy rides are inevitable in Michigan because our roads suck. If Jennifer Granholm hadn’t gone green and squandered piles of money on green initiatives, perhaps we would have some left for the roads, but our Republican Governor Snyder who endorsed Romney has the big fix. He wants to raise our gas taxes another 10 cents a gallon and raise our vehicle registrations $60 a year so he can get federal matching funds for more of their precious projects downstate. Michigan got the federal funds that were rejected by Florida’s Republican governor, which should show everyone what kind of Republican Snyder is.

He is, in fact, the perfect type of Republican to . Governor Snyder is a progressive liberal, and holds the distinguished honor of being one of two Republican Governors (the other is Chris Christy) who simultaneously support Governor Romney and refuse to join other Republican Governors in trying to fight Obamacare. In fact, Governor Snyder is fighting his Republican House of Representatives and his super-majority of Republicans in the Senate to try to make deals with Democrats to spend money we don’t have on projects nobody wants like DRIC. Our Republican Governor has a bad reputation with Americans for Prosperity, but a great relationship with environmentalist radicals. I think you get the picture.

If I was Mitt Romney, and was trying to defend my actions in the Democrat-controlled liberal state of Massachusetts, I would distance myself from Snyder, who is presently ignoring the fact that Michigan is led by Republicans and is instead breaking his neck to reach across the aisle. I mean, if Romney’s defense of Romneycare is that it was the most conservative thing he could have done in a veto-proof Dem majority, what’s Snyder’s excuse?

Right now, Michigan is at a crossroads. Republicans have to stop being sorry they breathe, and fight the Democrats instead of offering them a seat at the table. With this Governor, it won’t happen, and he will completely demolish the Republican Party as a result.

It is the same for the country. I believe that if Mitt is our nominee, that he will not be able to distance himself from Obama’s key legislation that got everyone fired up in 2010. Party Republicans have to realize that their voters are not happy with them when they reach across the aisle, especially now when America has two choices, tyranny or a long, tough, brutal slog toward liberty.

I think that it speaks volumes that Romney can’t speed through Michigan with nary a hair out of place. If an unthinkable moment for the Romney campaign comes February 28th, Michigan voters will have the stopped the ‘Romney electability’ crapola once and for all, and Mitt’s bumpy ride will have left him stranded.

If You Want Prosperity, Dislike The Sierra Club

Paranoia will destroy ya.

The Sierra Club is actively trying to get people to hate the Koch brothers, (lifelong libertarians who have given more than a hundred million dollars to right-wing causes, including Americans For Prosperity.)

As you know, Americans For Prosperity, or, as Obama calls them, “Whitey’s Tycoon Club,” is a grassroots organization of like-minded people in very small towns and large cities, all across the nation. And we are like minded because we are not crazy paranoid like the Sierra Club.

The Club sent out a describing a social media effort to help people understand that want people to have jobs, so they are against the Obama agenda. The Sierra Club is very good at making up accusations about what specific kinds of ailments you will receive if you support people like the Koch brothers, below is a list.

Careful now, don’t like the Koch brothers or else you will have:

Asthma
Bleeding out of your eyes
Colitis
Depression
Hallucination
Lethargy
Manic depression
Mood swings
Shyness
Inflammation of the nose
Sinusitis
Excessive mucus formation

There is more, but you get the drift. So, the big “social media blitz” is a facebook campaign to “dislike” the Koch Brothers.

They are starting a bunch of groups and pages that say things like:

(oh my, I can’t type that one out)
Boycott the Koch Brothers
Down with the Koch Brothers
We are on to you Koch Brothers, pretty creative names here, don’t you think?
Quarantine the Koch Brothers (one person is attending)
Things go better without Koch

And it’s not just the Sierra Club, Greenpeace is also launching an at the Koch Brothers, what with their big green blimp with the rainbow on it, and all. They say the Koch brothers secretly fund the tea party and, which shows that they could be suffering the effects of too much cannabis intake, which has the dastardly side effect of paranoia.

I have been telling people for years now, that if you want to help the nation, stop giving money to the Sierra Club.

They aren’t planting trees, they are killing the economy.

Obama’s Hatin’ on Whitey’s Tycoon Club

President Obama said this in front of his peeps the other day,

Right now all around this country there are groups with harmless-sounding names like Americans for Prosperity, who are running millions of dollars of ads against Democratic candidates all across the country. And they don’t have to say who exactly the Americans for Prosperity are. You don’t know if it’s a foreign-controlled corporation. You don’t know if it’s a big oil company, or a big bank. You don’t know if it’s a insurance company that wants to see some of the provisions in health reform repealed because it’s good for their bottom line, even if it’s not good for the American people.

A Supreme Court decision allowed this to happen. And we tried to fix it, just by saying disclose what’s going on, and making sure that foreign companies can’t influence our elections. Seemed pretty straightforward. The other side said no.

They don’t want you to know who the Americans for Prosperity are, because they’re thinking about the next election. But we’ve got to think about future generations. We’ve got to make sure that we’re fighting for reform. We’ve got to make sure that we don’t have a corporate takeover of our democracy.

Yeah, you don’t know because he won’t tell you.  He thinks you are stupid enough to just listen to him.  Actually, some of you are, but, I thought it was funny how he said Americans for Prosperity was a “harmless-sounding name.”

You see, in his view, Americans for Prosperity is code-language for Whitey’s Tycoon Club.  When they meet on a yacht somewhere, they think of how many different ways they’ve eaten caviar.  They just adore talking about their expensive cars and their spouses’ diamonds.  They talk about the cool million they have tucked away in made-up charities that they plan to steal from old women and starving orphans.  They have all made a pact with each other to pull the plugs on their grandparents by the end of the year, just to make sure they can collect all the money that would go to the government next year.  They have rich children that work at figuring out how to steal money from the poor, and they beat migrant workers for fun.

I welcome this distortion of reality.  People who believe in this drivel will destroy themselves.
