Why I’m not voting for “Nice Guy” Republicans like Mark Ouimet & Rick Snyder

Sell the Mackinac Bridge???! – Oh, hellz NO!

Sell the Mackinac Bridge???! – Oh, hellz NO!

Michigan political reporter Tim Skubick noted last week on his blog that Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Snyder wouldn’t take selling the Mackinac Bridge off the table.

Rick Snyder: Liar or dumb (or both)?

During the first and only gubernatorial debate of the 2010 season, Rick Snyder made a little-noticed gaffe that proves that he is either ridiculously ill-informed about infrastructure projects in his own backyard (almost literally) or that he’s a liar will to spout lies to promote his agenda (the agenda of getting himself elected governor of Michigan.) It was little-noticed by […]

Records show the state of California filed a $1,265 tax lien against Avalon Ventures LLC of Ann Arbor on Aug. 2, the day before Snyder won the Republican primary.

Will a Tea Partier ensure a Dem Michigan governor?

Will a Tea Partier ensure a Dem Michigan governor?

The Democratic gubernatorial race in Michigan right now is a bit of a clown show. The front runner, Lt. Governor John Cherry has left the race. A former state Treasurer got in and out in less than a week. Even George Perles, former Mich.State Univ. football coach has been suggested as a candidate. Right now the mayor of Lansing Virg […]
