Levon Yuille addresses about 500 at the April 14 2011 Rally on the Capitol steps in Lansing Michigan. Interesting speaker.

Once again, apologies for the camera work.

FYI, he has NOT officially announced, but is currently in exploratory status.

There will be no shortage of activists in the state's capitol today.  Multiple gatherings, and a High Noon rally are calling!

FYI it was noted that a number of public employees called in sick to attend yesterday's leftypalooza.  If so, it drives home the disregard for their service to the taxpayers of this state.  It drives home the need to consider a total ban on public sector unions that not only allow, but frankly encourage such irresponsible management of our trust.

Add to this, he has already misjudged 60% of the primary electorate by coming out of the gate saying he believes Obama is a legit president, or at least that he is a citizen.

"I think the citizenship test has been passed. I believe the president was born in the United States. There are real reasons to get this guy out of office ..."

First off, count me as somewhat of a birther.  Or at least as one who believes like that crazy-like-a-fox Trump, that Obama has some issues tied with the birth record he has spent gawd-awful amounts of money hiding. Not a good enough reason on its face? I mean seriously Mitt, 60% of people who voted with the Republicans think he wasn't born here.  And as to the citizenship test, which one was that? Are you simply trying to not be skewered by the media that you expect to put you in as a McCain type who was easily controlled for 2012?

Controllable and easily manipulated.  What a weasel.  If he wins the primary, we will have another term of the worst president ever, because people will again sit on their hands.  He would probably sell us out like Bush did when the bank situation arose anyhow.  No principle whatsoever.  No personal constitution.

This time we need to take a real look at the 'posers' like Romney, Gingrich, and even Huckabee who wouldn't do what needs to be done.  Talk a great talk, but look at their records.  At least Huckabee would be likely to look at a Fair Tax.  I could vote for him.  Even with him saying Obama grew up in Kenya, when we all know his childhood was spent in Indonesia.

Problem with that?  See the "57 states" comment by the guy who is our current white house occupant.  Actually, Kindergarten is where we learn how many states there are.  Some of us actually might have learned about how Puerto Rico and Guam fit into the scheme too.  But the dweller of 1600 Pennsylvania avenue never picked that up apparently.

Say it with me:
"Government Owned Enterprises ALWAYS pay for themselves."

Kinda brings back lunch ..from a few days ago.

What are these geniuses thinking?  this DRIC plan was shot down by many of the same people who are now apparently willing to flush their reputations down the toilet.  Representatives and senators who declined to support the "Granholm boondoggle" now might actually support the "Snyder Boondoggle." The only thing that has changed is the governor, and the name of the project.  The payback is still as miserable as it ever was, with questionable traffic and use being the mechanism to repay the Canadian loan of a half Billion smackers.

I posted a few questions last week, but didn't really get into some of the real details (dollars etc..) that are involved in this deal.  I believe however, I implied strongly enough that such a large enterprise certainly has great room for corruption.

The very thing some of you have spoken to, is being used by the lefties in Lansing (the protesters) as an accompanying argument for the EFM legislation.

The last gasp of government labor organizations is being seen occupying the state capitol chanting the programmed union slogans, and carrying the pre-printed paraphernalia supporting a free lunch, or compulsory unionization causes.  Loud and impolite as always, they recognize that their small issue though enough to rally them forward, is not sufficient for the needed sympathy from Michigan voters.

So they are going to play the "Snyder is taxing old people" angles.

Now don't get me wrong.  I am a firm believer in contracts. I ARE A RULE OF LAW GUY.

If a contract is created between parties, those parties ought to be bound to the terms of the contract.

Makes sense right?  As an example, if I voluntarily agree to terms that bind me to a particular end (like paying on a phone contract),  in exchange for something else (the use of the phone service at a particular rate), then I should be held to account for the terms of the contract agreed upon.  If a termination of the contract results in one of the parties violating their obligation, then they should be held to the punitive measures agreed upon when entering the contract.

Yes, I believe in contract.  Morality is best served through the honoring of established agreements.
