Last November with the MI-GOP Chair RINO Weiser's Yobbite One Fluff Nerd?  Nope.  Nobody can blame me for the GoverNerd, and yes, my conscience is still clean.  There is one step that you can do, maidintheus.  Basically, both Party's and their ruling class at the taxpayer trough know they've got primary challengers and the peon electorate class by the short hairs.  Regarding the GOP, as long as there are rollover folk that'll "get their ass in line" sending votes to anything with an 'r' dangling off its last name, expect more choices like TARPstra and the Nerd.  It's called enabling.  That 'guy on the right' thingy is little more than some kind of twisted 'affirmative action it has an R vote' for those not meeting Party Principles in what was suggested above, of which, I strongly oppose.  Accepting lowered standards has never been a winning plan anywhere, especially not within the GOP.
