ICYMI: @MichiganFreedom Fund apologizes to @MarkSchauer for falsely claiming he caused '09 gov't shutdown from D.C. http://t.co/xlHMwXtaqJ

Another of cupcake’s bald-faced lies? “Cut the income tax rate.”
Pure bullshit.
Enjoy Snyder and Calley’s Obamacare entrenchment, Greg.

(0)We have a candidate for governor, which now proudly campaigns on Obamacare.
“One of the things I’m most proud of is Healthy Michigan. How’ve we done? We have 405,000 people signed up.” -Rick Snyder #Road2Recovery

And, who is left to pick up the tab for that when Snyder/Calley is gone? Let, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), explain that for you. Did you notice a Republican said the states are going to pay for it? Why Hell, even a plumber knows that sh!t runs downhill.
Enjoy paying for that along with the Snyder/Calley fuel tax and registration fee hike.

No doubt about it, Right Michigan’s numbers have been consistent; recently averaging 200 sessions a day from the wolverine state alone.
This RightMi.com snapshot (at right) of the past 30 days reflects about 85% of the traffic coming in from all over Michigan. Wisconsin, Oregon, California, Texas, Viginia Illinois, Ohio and Florida coming in with the next highest numbers.
Though the actual page views are up and visits are longer, the actual session numbers are off slightly this month, since reaching an average of 308 sessions per day in Michigan for the month of August. The high locale in Michigan for August was Traverse City followed by Ann Arbor Lansing and Grand Rapids.
The graphic at left shows a breakout of the rest of the state for the August totals, which as an aggregate hit 9241
I thought it might be interesting to those who wonder where RightMi.com’s readership is primarily from.
(5)Nuh Uh.(0)What happens when Terri Hibma’s former 2010 running mate (this two-time loser) is allowed to go unchecked?
Police in Grand Forks, North Dakota are hailing their new fleet of drones as the “vanguard of police work,” according to the Guardian. But privacy activists are worried that the drones may be a threat to constitutional rights.
Officers in Grand Forks have been operating a fleet of drones, some small enough to fit in a suitcase, others in a larger, fixed-wing design. The department is one of only about a dozen departments across the country testing drones.
Yes, jackboots without any restraint. North Dakota’s state Senate, much like those in Lansing, are useless. Why has there been no movement on HB 4455 of 2013? Why has Speaker Bolger taken it upon himself to make the fringe cupcake agenda a priority over securing our Natural Rights for all?
Transparency, the man asks? Sorry, that’s just not within the MI-GOP character traits.
(13)Nuh Uh.(0)After spending months trashing good folks like State Rep. McMillin, and U.S. Rep. Kerry B., we voters are treated with this.
At this point in the election, if you are working against a Republican, you are working on behalf of a Democrat. It's that simple.

Good God. What a useless double-chinned sack of excrement.
(26)Nuh Uh.(6)One of the highpoints from multiple outlets in the local media last night was the announcement from a certain incumbent US Representative candidate against a certain foreclosure king, some democrat (and maybe a Libertarian).
Okay, it’s kind of hard to tease this one.
Yes, it is official: Kerry Bentivolio WILL be running as a write-in candidate in the November 4th General.
It doesn’t mean that there isn’t more to add.
{More after the fold}
(20)Nuh Uh.(6)The average score for Democrat Governors according to CATO’s recent fiscal report card is 46 of 100.
Rick Snyder Came in at 44. Though RTW and the MBT repeal was applauded, the push for higher gas taxes and the bloated overall budget, as well as the long term cost of Medicaid expansion to taxpayers walloped his GPA. Along with charts, comparisons, and analysis, Cato writes:
MICHIGAN Legislature: Republican Rick Snyder, Republican Took office January 2011 Grade: D Due to political correctness, the word ‘dun**’ is no longer allowed on head dressings.
After a successful business career, Governor Snyder came into office eager to help solve Michigan’s deep-seated economic problems. He has pursued many important reforms, such as spearheading the restructuring of Detroit’s finances and signing into law right-to-work legislation. He repealed the damaging Michigan Business Tax and replaced it with a less harmful corporate income tax. In 2014 pushed through a phased-in elimination of property taxes on business equipment, which will help spur capital investment. The cut was approved by Michigan voters in August 2014.67
However, Snyder received a low grade on this year’s report card largely because he is supporting a $1.2 billion-a-year fuel tax increase. That would be a huge hike, pushing up overall state tax revenues by nearly 5 percent.
He also scores fairly low on spending. The general fund budget increased 7.3 percent in 2013 and an estimated 7.8 percent in 2014. The governor also supported Medicaid expansion under the ACA, which will be a costly burden on Michigan taxpayers down the road.
Surprised?
While there can be absolutely ZERO expectation that Mark Schauer would fare any better, the expectation of fuel taxes increasing is realistic as Rick Snyder has said he wants to Increase revenue from fuel sales .
“Increasing revenue” as most reasonable folks know is code for higher taxes.
Call Rick Snyder TODAY and ask him why he wants to raise our taxes. (<- no number – see? we learn from those TV ads and postcards)
(18)Nuh Uh.(1)It would appear, Mr. Orr has learned his place within the U of M cronies.
Wealthy patrons vowed to bankroll a legal fight between the Detroit Institute of Arts and the city before mediators reached a deal to save the city’s art collection, Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr testified Thursday.
Orr testified about behind-the-scenes pressure applied by the DIA and patrons who believed the multi-billion dollar art collection could not be sold and was held in public trust — and explained why the city didn’t hire an auction house tied to a local billionaire. A costly, prolonged legal fight threatened to delay Detroit’s attempt to shed $7 billion in debt and emerge from bankruptcy court.
While not naming names, Orr said patrons vowed to fight any attempts to sell the 60,000-piece collection. Many of Metro Detroit’s leading families, including generations of Fords, have donated art to the internationally renowned museum.
“High-value net worth individuals who have an interest in the (DIA) were motivated and had the wherewithal,” to support a legal fight, Orr testified.
The city believed it could sell pieces of the DIA collection purchased with city funds during the last century.
Thanks, Ron.
(19)Nuh Uh.(2)The Schostak Party of Stooopid strikes again.
A local Democratic state House candidate is crying foul after the Michigan GOP sent out campaign mailers this week directing Republicans to call him at a number for his 91-year-old mother’s room at a Portage-based nursing home.
The mailers, which were paid for by the Michigan Republican Party, urge voters to call John Fisher, a candidate for the 61st state House District, and “Tell him hard-working Michiganders are being hurt by Obamacare and the health care policies (Democrats) support.”
Fisher’s campaign acknowledged it had no issue with past Republican mailers that told voters to call him at his personal number, but the candidate said Republicans took it too far by directing citizens to call Fisher at his mother’s number. The number is registered under Fisher’s name, but is a direct line to his mother’s room at Tendercare Portage, where Isabel Kramb is currently receiving hospice care for congestive heart failure, said Fisher’s campaign manager David Topping.
All because Team R sycophants chose to miss the boat on principled leadership.
