However, in the big bucks DeVos world that is “Art Prize”, it is what it is.
How the warped West side and their fringe travelers ever got the notion there is anything resembling a “phobia” to their perversion agenda is grossly underestimating the unified resistance they’re building.

(3)Commentary on some of the more notable races throughout Michigan's Republican primary.
Conservative First posted results of races from around the state yesterday.
As a candidate I needed time to decompress. I lost my contest by 89 votes, and as much as I campaigned, I was outworked. I saw CF’s report and felt there is some more fleshing out that needs to be done.
Prop 1 (tax changes) wins easily 69-31.
This is not surprising as several million was spent to make sure it passed. Of course THAT begs the question WHY would several million be spent to promote something that had as it’s main promise, an act already done by the legislature? I guess since we passed it, now we find out what is in it.
Congress:
1. Benishek wins 70-30. Alan Arcand needs to fire his pollster.
We all know the polls were push polls, or better yet campaign ads used for shock and awe.
Don’t think 30 percent is a bad number against an incumbent congress critter BTW. We will see Alan again.
3. Amash wins 57-43. Probably not enough to scare away future primary challengers.
One thing he did correctly was snuff the ‘unity’ crap. There is no unity in the MiGOP. There will be none until Republicans start acting like Republicans. I think 57-43 is enough however. No one will challenge Amash without a damn good reason in the future.
4. Moolenaar wins 52-36-11. Never underestimate the Midland establishment. I rated this a tossup when Mitchell led by 23.
The TPX had its desired effect. They needed a champ, and Moolenaar team needed a little boost to break John Moolenaar out. We rooted for Konetchy here, but expected the Stabenow donations to sink Mitchell (As they SHOULD), and put Moolenaar up by a couple. The win was significant, and John Moolenaar will be the next CD4 representative easily.
They could do worse.
6. Bussler gets 29% against Upton, confirming my suspicion that about 30% is the anti-Upton baseline in the GOP primary.
Lets suppose that is the case. That is a powerful voting block. Not just anti Upton, but GOP willing to vote conscience and not blind. Consider that there are many more who simply refuse to participate. Activate THOSE, and we have a new party.
(14)Nuh Uh.(0)Absofrickinlutely. Call them out for what they are, kid.
All you ring kissers in CD-8 (that includes the Knollenberg’s voters), do you feel stupid yet?
You should. It is just despicable what you selected.
(19)Nuh Uh.(2)The parents are flaky assholes too. Daddy sez vote for my daughter and it works? Go figure. Yannow, it really does take a special kind of demented mind to not only write that about their parents but, also use a Leftist agenda rag like the Free Press as the basis for their propaganda.
(16)Nuh Uh.(2)Yes, the Obama administration may be completely lawless, however, here are the 114 Republicans (Note: Benishek, Camp, Rogers, Upton) that keep lawlessness in operating funds.

(13)Nuh Uh.(1)Suggestions for Michigan's contested State Representative seats in the Republican Primary
This should have been done a week ago.
Its a little more or less incomplete, but based on FB, websites, personal knowledge and other factors we have compiled a list of those whom we feel will represent their respective districts (AND MICHIGAN) well for the next legislative session. We recognize that many of the candidates will feel they too represent a more conservative set of values than the recommendation, and we ask that they assist in holding their opponents words to deeds going forward.

Speaking of those that “shriek,” once again Kenny is right on cue with another hatchet piece directed at those who support Natural marriage.
To hear Michigan’s social authoritarian Republican fringe speak of it, the Great Lakes Education Project is the epitome of “RINO” advocacy – the dreaded “Republican In Name Only” pejorative.
Which, that is precisely what the GLEP is when its ringleaders (Board included) finance Democrats under the guise of “choice”. Care to discuss Common Core, too?
This year, GLEP is involved in many GOP primaries, but those on its bad side are now howling about a supposed anti-conservative agenda.
See what Kenny did there? Natural marriage = bad side. Ghey “marriage” = good side. These folks remind me of listening to the dysfunction that is Barack Obama.
What are the lengths this bitter clique of McNeilly, Braun, Hoekstra, and Drolet (what the Hell? Toss in there the alleged world’s oldest virgin, yannow, Bigot Bullets, too), will go to carry the water for their agenda of normalizing perverts?
The definition of “RINO” sure has changed. More than a dozen years ago, with a school-choice supporting Republican governor (Engler) and [snip]
There is the answer. Engler DID NOT support vouchers and, Barracuda Betsy threw a hissy-fit, grabbed her Alticor purse, and quit as MI-GOP chair. Anything else is just revisionist history and writing bald face lies.
There you go, folks. Progressivism is a mental disorder that Harry Hay and The Left revel in. Dick and Betsy bankrolling it all? Well, their “stealth agenda” is no secret either. As long as the Wooden Shoe Mafia’s globalist Bush clan ties can keep their fingers on the curriculum and testing standards, they will have an abundant supply of useful idiots. Some of which, a fringe 2.3% like to think that it all started with Adam and Steve.
(22)Nuh Uh.(10)Suggestions for Michigan's contested State Senate seats in the Republican Primary
Several contested Republican races around the state are worth noting.
In this edition, the State Senate contests are looked at. We should note that several candidates are lousy at getting their message out, have inadequate websites, and may have not social media skills. If we had to look too hard to find info on them, it was not helpful.
RightMi.com gives a hearty recommendation for Patrick Colbeck
This is the guy who has faced down Obamacare, Common Core, higher gas taxes, and general laziness and stupidity in the State Senate for the last four years. Do we agree always? Not so much, however Colbeck is hardly a stick-in-the-mud, and has carefully reviewed alternatives when challenged.
Easy choice for Pat Colbeck
RightMi.com Has no recommendation.
RightMi.Com Recommends a change from Marleau, who barely hit the 31% on the RightMi.com legislative scorecard.
The former Teamster, UAW, and NEA member cannot be any worse.

(13)Nuh Uh.(2)Suggestions for Michigan's congressional seats, Governor & Lt Governor, AG, SOS, and Prop 14-1
For the August 5th 2014 Republican Primary
Rightmi.com recommendation is for Alan Arcand.
We have described in other articles here of the current incumbent’s inability to understand the power of congress. Elected as a ‘Tea Party’ candidate Dan Benishek failed on all levels of political activity, and fell in line with the worst of establishment Republicans earning the next to lowest conservative rating from the Heritage foundation of all Michigan’s Republicans, only second to noted RINO Fred Upton.
Benishek’s service to the VA should have given him an especially good look at the inner workings of the VA, and as oversight for the last few years, it seems he is at least as culpable as the administration that Republicans are targeting on this issue. This neglect of our veterans would bite him in November when facing retired two star general Jerry Cannon who will capitalize on it. Democrats are COUNTING on Benishek being the GOP candidate.
Arcand on the other hand offers a fresh chance for Republicans to get it right. As a disabled vet, he takes the opposition tactic off the table. He understands Congress’ role as defined by the constitution, would not be afraid to withhold money from an out of control administration that has already threatened Upper Peninsula residents on the electrical grid alone.
RightMi.com has no recommendation.
(12)Nuh Uh.(2)Losers.
A group that sought to increase Michigan’s minimum wage to $10.10 per hour effectively ended its ballot campaign Friday.
The Raise Michigan Coalition said Friday it would not wage a legal battle to get on the November ballot after the Board of State Canvassers rejected the group’s petitions last week because they contained too many duplicate signatures.
And to think that my spineless squish and his pandering Democrat-lite friends capitulated to these losers.
