State Representative Greg MacMaster (R-105) has provided a little insight to the past year's health care debate, and his participation in the process.
"Bait and switch," a term he uses to describe the promises and ultimate product, is no stranger to any government program designed to help so many. He writes: "In 2012, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development found that the United States leads the world in health care research and disease treatment.Continued below the fold (5 comments, 734 words in story) Full Story By Corinthian Scales, Section News
Twitiot of the day.
Justin Amash How do you like them apples, Wes Nakagiri? TEA folk? Yessirree, 'ol constitutional Justin just face-wedgied all those opposing Snyder's Obamacare Medicaid Expansion by palling around with the deciding vote. Yannow, I had planned on doing a flattering writeup on the 5 U.S. Reps from Michigan, who signed a commitment to defund Obamacare but, with this loosely wrapped clown from CD-3 working with the Snyder administration to backdoor Obamacare entanglements in this state - screw Justin. At least I know Camp, Miller, Rogers, and Upton, will never be Conservative, unlike that all over the map Amash Liberaltarian Bee-esS. (1 comment) Comments >> By Corinthian Scales, Section News
Was away from everything news related for the past few days, and not to be surprised with my return to an interesting blurb in mLive the other day (Nope. Not linking to them) that it is still SSDD in the sociopathic world of politics.
"The emergency manager has met with the White House and members of the state's congressional delegation, and these meetings focused on how the federal government can assist in Detroit's restructuring," said Orr's spokesperson Bill Nowling in an email message. "At each of those meetings it was made clear that a federal bailout is not a possibility." Let that sink in.
Nobody is interested in bailing out LBJ's "model city" Detroit. N-O-B-O-D-Y. Sure, the Congressional Black Caucus has gone whining to race-baiter-in-chief, president Odowngrade², with JoAnn's "bring home some bacon" meme, but that narrative is as common as the sun rising in the East. Besides, preezy Soetoro's agenda is already booked with making this entire nation look like Detoilet, so, how in the Hell can he bail out Detoilet? Barry can't. All of D.C. knows that bailing out Detoilet is opening Pandora's box. Think Killadelphia isn't just around the corner on going teats up? Think again. It is poison for the However, click on the Full Story button. I want you all to meet a very real-life Charlie Gordon character from Daniel Keyes' award winning short story.

If I hadn't read it with my own eyes...
Working w/ my good friend @briancalley to welcome new Rs to @MIGOP who care about limited government, economic freedom & individual liberty. Really, Justin? Working with those trying to implement Obamacare entanglements in Michigan, isn't exactly what I would describe as a Republican value. I rescind my opinion - both suck.

Just noticed the fine folks over at mLive are fanning the bogus "War on Wimmins" flames.
In their own words: Why are there so few women in the Michigan legislature? Two words provide the accurate answer: women voters. They make up over half the population. Time to quit b!tching about y'all gots your chil'rens that come first, girls. Well, unless they'd like to admit that the Progressives put them back on the serf plantation in 1920. A house divided will not stand.
-For the first time since 1975, the number of white single-mother households who were living in poverty with children surpassed or equaled black ones in the past decade, spurred by job losses and faster rates of out-of-wedlock births among whites. White single-mother families in poverty stood at nearly 1.5 million in 2011, comparable to the number for blacks. Hispanic single-mother families in poverty trailed at 1.2 million. Just sayin' ...and good luck with that. (2 comments) Comments >> By Corinthian Scales, Section News
Besides Rick Snyder, same 'ol same old... Amnesty for gatecrashers.
The immigration overhaul passed by the U.S. Senate could put a big squeeze on the budgets of state and local governments. Not that the self-invented Nerd persona since being sworn to his Oath has done a damn thing about that "big squeeze" anyway. Why Hell, stealth Democrat Rick Michigan has even fought his own Secretary of State, Ruth Johnson, over providing gatecrashers a driver license, squashing voter verification, and placing the Lawless to the front of the line ahead of American citizens. Michiganders must really enjoy being little more than Debt Slaves. Wolverines - do not. Frankly, I don't see a snowball's chance in Hell that Snyder will be a second term anything in this state, but go ahead "liberty-minded network" with squandering your time and resources on Calley.

Little known fact: Rick Snyder found the former governor's crack pipe.
A wisp of SOMETHING is animating the Governor throughout this summer. Its not been this site alone that sees it either. Tim Skubick notes Snyder's 'spirit' of Granholm shining through: "This is about caring about one another," Gov. Rick Snyder has been telling audiences as he crisscrosses the state trying to nudge the public into proving that they concur. It is shades of Ms. Granholm, pure and simple.What a champ. Because it is So very compassionate to empower the left by imprisoning a whole new segment of our population with dependence on government. When the choice to move forward for that tiny little 2 or 3 point improvement in salary meets the cost of lost insurance coverage as a result, it makes little sense to go forward. So ready your personal shackles Michigan's middle class, you're about to be blown away. Again. (6 comments) Comments >> By Corinthian Scales, Section News
Teh Stoopid Party in Michigan remains dead to me.
If anything, Majority Leader Randy Richardville said, he saved Gov. Rick Snyder from a big defeat more than two weeks ago by not calling a vote on House legislation to expand eligibility for government-provided health insurance to 320,000 low-income adults in 2014. The Republican governor had cut short a trade trip in Israel to return home and lobby the GOP-dominated Senate. Give him credit - he came through, we read. A special thank you, we read. GMAFB. There isn't enough paint on the planet for trying the "happy face" schtick with loser Snyder and Schostak at the helm. (1 comment) Comments >>
