Mark Ouimet is running for the state House of Representatives in the 52nd District, facing Democrat Christine Green. I have written before about accusations regarding Mark Ouimet’s financial misconduct with regards to tens of thousands of dollars of reimbursements for travel and per diems during his time as Washtenaw County. I have also written about the near slanderous attacks on […]

Yesterday morning on MSNBC, Matt Lauer and Chuck Todd had this exchange regarding the so-called “generic poll” that asks respondents about their party choices. LAUER: …43 percent say they prefer Democrats, 50 percent say they want Republicans. When–did those questions accurately predict an outcome when people actually go into a voting booth and they’re faced not with a generic question… […]

Illinois GOP Senate candidate Mark Kirk isn’t the only Republican setting out to intimidate “vulnerable” voting precincts. Not by a long shot. The Michigan Republican Party is training as many as 3,000 people to work as poll watchers, targeting mostly the southeastern part of the state: Michigan Republicans are recruiting and training up to 3,000 people to work as poll […]

Tim Walberg should have stayed home from his meet-and-great at an Adrian coffee shop this week. All it did was to reveal just how much of a Pander Monkey he is. When he was in Congress, he missed a vote on the rescue of America’s auto industry due to surgery. At the time he said he would have “reluctantly” voted […]

As I blogged about last month, Tim Walberg (the Original Tea Partier™) has indicated in the past that he just wasn’t sure the president was a USA citizen. He then backtracked saying he was sure he was. And then, last night, he doubled back and suggested that he still isn’t sure because President Obama “hasn’t resolved it”. At a meet-and-greet […]

The ink hadn’t dried on blog entry about the Christine Green smear campaign being waged by the Michigan Republican Party when I get a FIFTH robocall. At least this time they used a different woman for the robocalls: [DIFFERENT WOMAN’S VOICE]: Hello. This is Nicole. Our state has been headed in the wrong direction for years. Christine Green will a […]

Mark Ouimet, Washtenaw County Commissioner and candidate for the State House in the 52nd District, is being accused of inappropriately collecting tens of thousands of dollars of reimbursements for fees and expenses during his time as Commissioner. In a press release yesterday from the Washtenaw County Democratic Party, the details were revealed: Washtenaw County Democratic Party Chairman Stu Dowty today […]

I’m sorry but the only description I can come up with after reading this is “weasel”. The Michigan League of Conservation Voters shouldn’t hold its breath waiting for Republican Rick Snyder to answer a questionnaire mailed to both gubernatorial candidates this week… The Ann Arbor businessman “doesn’t fill out questionnaires,” Snyder spokesman Bill Nowling said. Snyder plans to ignore the […]

Oopsy: Two of gubernatorial candidate Rick Snyder’s companies have been hit with liens for unpaid state taxes, one as recently as two months ago. Records show the state of California filed a $1,265 tax lien against Avalon Ventures LLC of Ann Arbor on Aug. 2, the day before Snyder won the Republican primary. The company’s 2010 annual report lists Snyder, […]

I was having a look at Tim Walberg’s website this morning, wondering if he had anything that discusses the Republicans’ recent rejection of a federal bill to reward companies that return jobs to the USA and to punish those that outsource them. I had a look at his jobs plan and, you won’t believe this, IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY MENTION […]

What the hell is it with conservative Republicans and their violent rhetoric? I was searching Twitterland for info on Congressman John Dingell (“The Dean of the House”) when I came across this tweet from his opponent, Rob Steele: Henry Payne writes “A stuffed Dingell trophy on the wall would send shock waves through Washington.” http://fb.me/AsilJ9Ty I’ve written about Rob Steele […]
