    At Least Liberals Are Happy With Rick Snyder

    I think I would be more comfortable with the idea of Democrat Andy Dillion as Michigan's Treasurer if the Liberals at the Huffy-Po were a little less comfortable with the idea.

    Most of Washington is working hard at sizing up the new state of the GOP by strutting and fretting over what side in the "Civil War" shall prevail: the establishment GOP that turned obstruction into an art form or the newly arrived "Tea Party" set that have campaigned on the notion that the United States is a hair's breadth away from plunging into abject tyranny.

    But there is another alternative! In Michigan, we have newly elected GOP governor Rick Snyder, who ran as an insurgent to establishment figures like Pete Hoekstra, all the while campaigning as a conciliatory optimist. And Ben Smith makes this pull from today's Detroit Free Press, which finds that Snyder has begun matching deeds to words -- appointing a political rival, Andy Dillon, to his team as the Michigan State Treasurer:

    The appointment of Dillon, a Redford Democrat who also was a candidate for governor, was virtually unprecedented for a newly elected Republican governor. Snyder said it was proof that he really does want to govern differently to avoid partisan gridlock.

    "I don't worry about labels," he said. "We all have a background of solving problems, and Michigan is in a crisis. We can hit the ground running to solve our problems. And the caliber of talent here is world-class."

    Labels are not the problem, Liberal ideas are the problem. Via M-Live:

    "We have abandoned our responsibility in Lansing," Dillon said told party leaders of the continuing cuts in the state budget. "The role of government is to provide a great quality of life, educate our kids and keep us safe in our homes. We need to begin investing in our state and in our people."

    `Nuff said.

    Their "solution" consists of the same tired solution: raise taxes, raise taxes, raise taxes.

    Oh, and when that fails, you don't have enough revenue...so you need to raise taxes one more time for good measure.

    I'll be waiting to see the MI-GOP prepare to eat an industrial-sized helping of crow when Gov. Snyder raises taxes to "fix" the budget deficit.

    Saw this coming and more. Another John McAmnesty here in Michigan. That is all we need. Well, I guess we can start loading the trucks. The hopes we had for a turn around of the states economy can be kissed good-bye. Looks like the Culture of Corruption will continue as usual. Maybe now people will see the need to reform the Michigan GOP that foisted this upon us. Reform the party, the way it does business, reform the primary system or do away with it all together and cleanse the elite establishment types from the ranks. Much work yet to do. Catch your breath and lets start raising hell.

    This quality of life...what if I'd rather provide my own and it's a different quality than his? What if I think his education has more to do with a set of beliefs than it does with knowing how to think, read... What if I believe I should participate in my protection and safety? See, I don't think I care for the big teet he's offering.
