"Representative Roy Schmidt is the latest casualty of the Democratic Party's extreme agenda of politics ahead people, and I applaud Rep. Schmidt for choosing to put his convictions and constituents first by joining the Republican Party. Michigan's economic comeback has just begun and there is still a lot of work to be done. But, make no mistake, the parties could not be any different - Republicans continue to offer serious solutions to defend Michigan's turnaround while Democrats hope to return Michigan to the days of broken budgets, big deficits and failed policies that will derail Michigan's comeback."

So, how did that "deal" work out for you, Baghdad Bobby & Co?  Not so swell, eh?  Bummer.  "we allowed ourselves to get distracted"?  GMAFB.  And spare us the "we" sh!t, buddy.  First smelt it dealt it, pal.  No shame.  None of 'em.

Every damn one of these entrenched slimy establishment wannabe creeps will never learn not to hug a cactus just so they have anything with an 'r' after its name elected.
