    Upton Talks Tough, But He Has To Be As Tough As Sarah

    Fred Upton got the post he wanted in the House, as Chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Boehner gave him the job over massive objections from conservatives. Perhaps if Upton cries, he will convince some of them that he’s going to be a real stalwart. JGillman of RightMichigan voices the concern that so many are thinking. Now that Upton got the post over | Read More »

    The Stupak Lesson

    Cross-posted First off, I’d like to open with a joke. Bart Stupak is going to be teaching at Harvard. Side-splitter. Bart Stupak is pleased that he has retired from Congress and insists that he has done the right thing in voting for Obamacare. He made it clear during the fight between him, his constituents and the nation that he would not allow the healthcare bill | Read More »

    Grassroots Call For Saul Anuzis As RNC Chair

    Crossposted I don’t pretend to know and understand the ins and outs of internal party races like the RNC chair race, but I do know this, it makes sense for former MIGOP chairman Saul Anuzis to become chairman of the Republican National Committee. Saul has been the first to throw in for the race, and Steele is expected to announce his intentions this evening. Others | Read More »

    Todd Lassa, Is it that time again?

    After Motor Trend Magazine named the Chevy Volt, “Car of the Year,” Rush Limbaugh articulated what everyone on God’s green earth was thinking, Oh, by the way, did you see that Motor Trend magazine has named the Chevrolet Volt the car of the year? Folks, of all the cars, no offense, General Motors, please, but of all the cars in the world, the Chevrolet Volt | Read More »

    Don’t believe in Global Warming? You’re nuts!

    The green movement is trying to figure out what to do with you conservatives. They recently have been observing you in your natural habitat, sort of like watching dung beetles, taking notes on your behavior. What they cannot understand is how to bridge the gap between you simplistic deniers and the need to accept climate science. Noting that the average denier is a middle-aged white | Read More »

    Bush is wrong.

    Palin roused the base, McCain was unqualified to run as president precisely because he was hostile toward the base.

    Scarborough, Roll Over!

    Tea Party Disgust: Splitting the Conservative Vote in Michigan’s First District

    In the aftermath of the very close MI01 Republican primary, won by Dan Benishek of Crystal Falls by 15 votes, several things have transpired that has tested the friendships and trust of tea party members and patriots, and the movement itself.

    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 | Read More »

    Do I know Michigan Libs or what?

    On May 25th, I said this in a comment posted on Free Republic: “Allen is right now trying to come up with a good reason why he did that….something having to do with the abuse of the elderly, which I believe he will use to scare the older folks in the first. Just my opinion.” We were discussing the primary race in Michigan’s First District, | Read More »

    “If you have to say you are, you aren’t.”

    The Great Margaret Thatcher is quoted as saying, “Power is like being a lady, if you have to say you are, you aren’t.” Margaret Thatcher is one of those people you do not have to describe when it comes to conservatism.  You would never say, Conservative Margaret Thatcher for instance.  She just is. So to paraphrase her, “Being a conservative is like being a lady, | Read More »

    Turning Michigan into a Red State

    One of the most annoying things for me has been the fact that every time a vote has been held in congress in the past, the top half of Michigan would be shown in blue on a congressional vote map, along with the Detroit area.  If anything, the top half of Michigan is more like the nation’s south, than it is like the state’s southeast.  | Read More »

    How much harder should I work to keep them on unemployment?

    Those of us working for small businesses have had to become more efficient and effective in every little thing we do. We have had to become faster, smarter, more mobile, more digital, more easily maneuverable, less emotional, and more resourceful than ever before, while keeping everyone employed, and yes, employing more. All the time, paying higher taxes than ever before, especially unemployment taxes. So really, | Read More »

    Docs4PatientCare Makes First Ever Endorsement Benishek MI01

    Docs4PatientCare began as a grassroots movement led by a prominent physician in Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. Hal Scherz,who felt he must act in response to the AMA’s support of Obamacare. Attempting to enact his big-government health care scheme, President Obama and his supporters frequently claimed that a “majority” of doctors supported his health-care plans. When the American Medical Association – which had opposed HillaryCare – signed | Read More »

    Liberal Republican, MI01, chooses Tax Incentives over the Free-Market

    One of the ways that lawmakers in Michigan have been making names for themselves is by employing targeted tax incentives. The practice is both criticized and applauded, depending on if the critic or the one who praises benefits in any way. The purpose of easing taxes on business to motivate them or encourage them to do business in Michigan seems like a noble thought, after | Read More »
