  • Your New Scoop Site

    Welcome to Scoop!

    To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

    Some tips:

    • Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
    • Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
    • Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
    • Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
    • If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

    MIGOP Misses The Point

    Again.

    The MiGOP chair once again screwed up an opportunity to mend fences with the conservative base.

    Bobby Shostak hoping to catch some of the CPAC love fest action for Michigan Republicans makes this announcement about 86th House District Representative Lisa Posthumus-Lyons who was featured and honored as one of the Conservative Political Action Conference's (CPAC) 10 conservatives under 40. Lyons District is in Kent and Ionia Counties, and serves as the Assistant Majority Floor Leader. :

    "Rep. Lyons is a tremendous leader in Michigan and she's a strong advocate of the common sense conservative policies that are resulting in Michigan's comeback."

    The release continued:
    " Rep. Lyons is recognized as a "Rising Young Conservative Leaders," which relates to CPAC's theme this year, "America's Future: The Next Generation of Conservatives. New Challenges, Timeless Principles."
    Timeless principles?

    "Timeless principles" must have a meaning I am not familiar with. Perhaps its those progressive principles they call timeless. If this is the next generation of conservative, I'm out.  And a note to our MiGOP, the activists you will find below the fold are just a few of those who would disagree with this blind accolade.

    Very much so - Continue on below.

    And this isn't the only example of people that we need to be paying attention to.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    No Respect

    "I looked up my family tree and found three dogs using it" - Rodney Dangerfield

    Here we go again in Michigan.

    Ronna Romney McDaniel, granddaughter of former Michigan Gov. George Romney, said she's "looking at" a Republican run for Senate after Democrat Carl Levin announced he's not going to seek re-election. She was an active campaigner for her uncle Mitt Romney last year.

    "It's something I'm going to consider (after) what I saw around the state with how frustrated people were with what's happening in D.C.," Romney McDaniel, 39, told The Detroit News Tuesday night. "Maybe this is a time where we can bring a new voice and get a Republican senator from our state."

    What's happening in DC?  Career hack politicos getting by, or surviving on last name recognition, and a disinterested electorate because we know both sides of the Ruling Class are lying to us.  

    Her father, Scott Romney, Mitt's older brother, told The News that after initially considering a run he has decided against a bid for the seat held for more than three decades by Levin, D-Detroit.

    "I decided it just wasn't right for me at this time," Scott Romney [at age 71] said.

    Instead, he phoned his daughter Tuesday to urge her to consider.

    Wait for it...  {yawn}

    Is this the 52-48 ShowStak Brand rearing its ugly head?  Maybe the CD-11 Star Chamber making their move, again?  Frankly, I could care less about either - MiGOP record of Romney failure: Lenore (1970), Ronna née Rakolta (94 & 96), G. Scott (AG '98), and Willard (08 & 12).  Some folks just can't seem to take a hint.   Sure, Ronna Romney McDaniel (I hate that weird progressive last name thing) may be a nice person, but is one whose only accomplishments to date is being a Northville mother of 2, and managing her uncle's campaign that abandoned Michigan, but equipped with genitalia for the Politically Correct bogus War on Wimmin's.

    Between the Bush dynasty, and Romney wannabes, the Team R interlopers are beginning to make the Kennedy clan look like pikers among the last name entitlement leeches.

    Good luck with that.

    As in, oldtimer magic underpants.

    The older brother of presidential candidate Mitt Romney is interested in running for the Michigan Senate seat being vacated by Carl Levin in 2014.

    A state GOP official said Friday that Scott Romney, 71, is exploring his options with potential supporters. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly about specific candidates.

    An attorney, Scott Romney lost the 1998 nomination for attorney general at the Michigan Republican Party's convention. One of his ex-wives, Ronna, ran for the Senate in 1996 but lost to Levin.

    Just like that damn Bush dynasty with Jeb now flitting about, these clowns living on last name entitlement just can't take a hint.  Romney = Still trying in Michigan ever since daddy George created the State Income Tax

    Um, no.  No to everything seen the above.

    Schostak Prevails

    Michigan Republican Chair Bobby Schostak kept a 52-48% advantage over challenger Todd Courser to keep his position as MiGOP chair.

    Given the manner in which loyalty is blind, there is an expectation that advantage will always go to an incumbent.  This is NOT a commentary on the people who voted for Schostak, but rather an observation of elections where the incumbent ought not be challenged.  In other words, 48% voting against, is likely not the percentage who feel the party has been run poorly.  The old adage "the devil you know" comes to mind; the outcome being one that has a few extra points built in.

    Safe to say that 48% or more want to see things change in the party.

    As the incumbent chair continues to serve, it is important he recognizes that those plans for a revitalized party that he borrowed from his opponent in the last two weeks ought to be more than mere lip service.

    Maintaining conservative principles, targeting on core family values, and finding conservative commonalities with groups currently held by the Democrat plantations might be a good start.

    Congratulations.

    More tomorrow.

    My Brother's Keeper

    My brother Steve and I used to talk politics..

    I have a few of them, (Brothers) but THIS particular brother and I disagreed more often than not on issues of the national political stage, policies, and who might be best for leadership.  Its was a discussion over George Bush in 2003 that had our wives (watching nearby) fearing a fist fight.  Several adult beverages, and a few hours of heated discussion never brought the violence our mates had expected. And we remain as always willing to pick up such discussions, and love each other as brothers do.  Family is good.  Especially family that can disagree to the point where blood pressures are up, yet peace will prevail in the end.

    The reason I mention this is twofold; to illustrate that we can have disagreements and still carry on strong family/professional relationships, and to point out that I would still tell a brother where to stick a suggestion that I donate to ANYONE in that freak show called the Democrat party! I might even tell him to wrap it in broken glass and salted tinfoil for good measure first.

    And I suspect he would respect that.

    This particular list is a reason that Bobby Schostak ought not be the Republican Party chair for Michigan.

    • JENNIFER GRANHOLM FOR ATTY GENERAL 509309-CAN DIRECT MR ROBERT I SCHOSTAK PO BOX 267 PARTNER-SCHOSTAK BROTHERS SOUTHFIELD MI 48037-0267 12/14/99 $1,000.00
    • JENNIFER GRANHOLM FOR ATTY GENERAL 509309-CAN DIRECT ROBERT I SCHOSTAK 25800 NORTHWESTERN HWY EXECUTIVE-SCHOSTAK BROTHERS SOUTHFIELD MI 48075 10/30/98 $1,000.00
    • JENNIFER M GRANHOLM FOR GOVERNOR 510278-GUB DIRECT ROBERT I. SCHOSTAK PO BOX 267 PARTNER-SCHOSTAK BROTHERS SOUTHFIELD MI 48037-0267 04/21/04 $3,400.00

    OH yeah.. Bi-partisanship.  Enough to go on by itself, but lets add to it with

    Democrat LAURENCE DEITCH received $2000 from each of the Schostak Brothers in his re-election for regent.

    In 2008.  Why?

    One thing that has become clear in the last couple of years is that pandering to the other side brings nothing but misery. Seeding the other side with financial resources makes it harder for OUR guys to succeed.  Does it ultimately matter if the chair is a good fundraiser, if our donations go to fight the beast he has fed in the past?

    Consider this merely a start of a fact based critique.

    Expect more.
