Former #Michigan Gov. William Milliken joins Gov. @OneToughNerd in condemning #RNC's Dave Agema record-eagle.com/opinion/x12212... #MIGOP #GOP #MIGov

Some reminders of history, lest they be repeated, obviously need reflection:

1969-1982:  William G. Milliken.  Thirteen years in Office.  Environmental extremist.  Chummy chum chum's with perhaps the most corrupt Mayor of Detroit ever.  But, it was smart of 'ol milquetoast Willy, that was his voting base.  Kerry backer... Granholm backer... Obama backer... As Paul Ryan would say about Newt Gingrich, "With friends like him..."  How this twaddling old tool still keeps calling himself a Republican is beyond disgusting.

Helen Milliken a proud eugenicist?  You betchya!  Not supposed to mention such atrocities... Shhhhhhhhh!  And, how can one forget...

Omitted: Made Jim Blanchard Look Appealing to Voters

Now, wayward, petty, and pedantic child, you carry on with that polarizing the MI-GOP into obsolescence.

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.

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.

History fun factoids:

Michigan Gov. Rick Synder, who appointed Orr as emergency manager Thursday, was acquainted with Orr while at U-M. Snyder, who graduated with a law degree and MBA in 1982, reportedly met Orr during a snowball fight on campus.

Branch President Rev. Wendell Anthony said there is no way an emergency financial manager can come in over the next 18 months and fix problems that have taken 50 to 100 years to develop.

"It is important for Governor Rick Snyder to recognize that once you come into Detroit with the hammer of an emergency manager, you, too, own it,"

Who in the Hell in their right mind would want that?  Their coveted Obamessiah isn't sending them any bacon.  It's time for Lansing to stop scratching Ilitch's, Penske's, and Gilbert's back with the rest of the states tax dollars, too.

Who is this paleface Irish turd trying to fool?  Try remembering July 27, 2004

If approved by U.S. District Judge Paul Borman, McCann, of Livonia, faces six to 12 months in prison and up to a $20,000 fine.

McCann was indicted in November on charges of improperly using a federal grant to pay two interns to secretly build a database of Democratic Party donors. They performed an estimated 758 hours of political work while on the county's payroll in 2001, the county contended.

In November 2002, the FBI and Michigan State Police seized thousands of documents from McNamara's county office and the campaign office of McCann's former boss, then-Wayne County Prosecutor Michael Duggan, in a raid. Duggan is now head of the Detroit Medical Center.

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette today announced that a federal judge has issued a ruling blocking the implementation of a controversial U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) mandate that would force religious employers to violate their religious and faith-based beliefs by providing insurance plans that cover services, including abortion-inducing drugs, that conflict with those beliefs.

The ruling comes in a lawsuit filed by Michigan-based Weingartz Supply Company and Legatus, an organization of Catholic business owners, to defend religious liberty and challenge the unconstitutional Obama administration mandate.  Schuette filed an amicus brief in support of the plaintiffs on September 27, 2012.

"Religious liberty is America's first freedom," said Schuette.  "Any rule, regulation or law that forces American employers to violate their free exercise of religion is a flat-out violation of the First Amendment and federal law, including the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

"This victory is an important step in defeating an unconstitutional mandate that will force private sector job-providers across America to violate their conscience.  The First Amendment applies to everyone, and we must defend religious liberty for all, not just the chosen few dictated by the federal government."

Finley: Obama using Granholm's playbook

In both races, there was a charismatic but incompetent democrat incumbent running against a Republican rich businessman challenger.  In both cases, the democrats blamed the preceding Republican for the poor state of the economy and claimed that it would otherwise be worse.  They attacked the Republican challengers for being rich and falsely claimed they outsourced jobs.

Of course, there are some differences as well.  Romney has actually won an election before, and he has a much broader fundraising base.  2006 was an anti-republican wave, which 2012 shows no signs of being.
