No surprise there.
A Bill Wilson Op-Ed notes how Michigan Congressman Fred Upton would prefer to shoot 'gift horses.' That old saying, "if you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything," is being proven true yet again by the Republican leadership in the House of Representatives.And then get all the dirtbags who voted for it in the first place, off the hook.

By Rick Manning Republican Washington, D.C. insiders have spent the past month wagging their fingers at tea party types and telling anyone who will listen that these people just don't understand realpolitik and the "politics of the possible." In a first reveal of what constitutes the Beltway Republicans "possible", Fred Upton, the inert chairman of the House Commerce and Energy Committee has introduced legislation to deal with the Obamacare problem of the day - people are losing their health insurance due to regulations propagated by the Obama Administration. After bruising battles trying to stop, delay or defund Obamacare, Upton's politics of the possible is language that would allow, if they wanted, health insurers to continue to offer this year's plans to customers next year. Apparently rather than push for a real solution to Obamacare now that some Democrats are approaching panic mode as their constituents and supporters are getting the higher premiums and dropped policies that the Ted Cruz's of the world tried to prevent, the possible politics crowd is choosing to push legislation that delays the problem for another year, and allows the politicians to blame the insurers when policies are cancelled.

It never ceases to delight me with the schadenfreude that the MI-GOP rubes bury themselves in, with their chosen duplicitous chair Boobie ShowStak, having a hot air case of the fantods about an uncreative commie bleating his DNC talking points on MSU's campus.

Was that the investment by the Michigan GOP for the University board and Michigan Board of Education candidates?
Is it surprising that we lost the 8 seats while at the same time maintaining control of the state house? Those state wide races needed the Michigan GOP to step up, but there wasn't any pretense of help or assistance. Tim Bos (letter below the fold) puts it best.

Families destroyed, future prosperity hampered, and setting up a whole new set of government dependent souls.
God help us from benevolent bureaucracies! "HOLLAND, Mich. -- Several weeks after a city zoning officer shut down his hot dog business, 13-year-old Nathan Duszynski and his parents are homeless. Unintended or otherwise, it is considered normal nowadays for government to hamper the opportunities of some, to favor others. A pretend scenario is certainly unnecessary for this family.

$20,000 wasn't enough for the template of all RINOs to run as a Dem according to sources.
That was the amount reportedly offered to Schwarz for his campaign on their behalf. From M-Live Because his natural tendencies have always favored failure. And even though the story doesn't mention it, he may still run as an Independent. Something that ought to make the Democrats even happier if they stop to think about it.

In a time when conservatism has regained the eye and can be found more in the heart of America, those who refuse to stand for anything, seem to expend more effort standing AGAINST those who would presumably be their allies.
Some Republicans have consistently, even in the face of gains made by "tea party" conservatives in their party, shunned those gains, and pegged the new conservatism as "extreme." Rather than embrace the ideas of responsibility and restraint with regard to government, they have instead attempted to scuttle reform efforts by those who were in fact elected under a conservative flag. Such things as spending within means, and abiding by the constitution, to centrists, is tantamount to guaranteeing they would be unelected in following cycles. So instead of promoting any message that is constitutionally legitimate, or perhaps even (dare we suggest) "righteous," it is far easier to put finger to the wind, and see where society would accept deviation from current conditions and then assume relatively safe positions. Far easier to be "politically correct," slight those who share your party banner, and continue a path toward complete socialism for the sake of personal power.
And they call it "moderation," being reasonable, more "centrist."
