Cleaning up after Republicans

Joe Sestak has one of the best political ads out there right now. Watch it and see if you don’t agree. It involves dog poo. I’m just sayin’…

I am Christine O’Donnell

I am Christine O’Donnell. It’s been a busy week being you. Goodness, I never realized there were so MANY of you to be! Sometimes I wish I could just wave my magic wand and… Oh, wait. Nevermind. Before my big debatey thing with Chris (“girly pants“) Coons last week, I reached into my back pocket and realized there was this […]

Tim Walberg: Pander Monkey

Tim Walberg should have stayed home from his meet-and-great at an Adrian coffee shop this week. All it did was to reveal just how much of a Pander Monkey he is. When he was in Congress, he missed a vote on the rescue of America’s auto industry due to surgery. At the time he said he would have “reluctantly” voted […]

Homophobic stalker & Asst. AG wants new judge

This has to be a joke. Michigan Assistant Attorney General Andrew Shirvell is asking a Washtenaw County judge to withdraw from hearing a request for a personal protection order against him because of the judge’s ties to state representative and former gubernatorial candidate Alma Wheeler Smith. In an Oct. 6 court filing, Shirvell requests that Judge Nancy Francis recuse herself […]

Tim Walberg: Still a birther, suggests impeachment

As I blogged about last month, Tim Walberg (the Original Tea Partier™) has indicated in the past that he just wasn’t sure the president was a USA citizen. He then backtracked saying he was sure he was. And then, last night, he doubled back and suggested that he still isn’t sure because President Obama “hasn’t resolved it”. At a meet-and-greet […]

GOTV: Get Your Vol On!

Three weeks from today. That’s the light at the end of the tunnel, the prize upon which we are keeping our eyes. As a Community Organizer for Organizing for America (OFA), I and our staffers and our many volunteers (“vols”) have been working hard all summer for the dénouement. We’ve been identifying Democratic supporters, getting many, many of them to […]

Tim Walberg: The Original Teabagger

Hmmmm…This doesn’t surprise me: [MI-07 Republican candidate Tim] Walberg’s message of smaller government, as well as opposition to abortion and gay marriage, has appealed most notably to conservatives in the district, including tea party followers who have been especially active this year. “I was a tea partier before there was a tea party,” Walberg said. And that, I would argue, […]

Michigan GOP runs another smear robocall/mailing against Christine Green

The ink hadn’t dried on blog entry about the Christine Green smear campaign being waged by the Michigan Republican Party when I get a FIFTH robocall. At least this time they used a different woman for the robocalls: [DIFFERENT WOMAN’S VOICE]: Hello. This is Nicole. Our state has been headed in the wrong direction for years. Christine Green will a […]

Mark Ouimet: A “Nice Guy” Republican goes to the gutter

Mark Ouimet: A “Nice Guy” Republican goes to the gutter

Talk to anyone in Ann Arbor about Mark Ouimet and they are sure to tell you that he’s a really “nice guy”. I’ve never met him but I feel certain that he is, indeed, a really nice guy. But he’s also a politician and he’s also a Republican. So I guess it shouldn’t have surprised me when robocalls started showing […]
