Brian Rooney’s on a roll

Oh, looky. Brian Rooney just picked up another endorsement from someone who doesn’t even live in his district (MI-07). For real, dude? First it was someone from Georgia and now this? What’s next? Canuck endorsements? Maybe a few from some Europeans? Since he’s lived in MI-07 less than year, maybe he just doesn’t know that many people here… I’m just […]

Popcorn Time in MI-07, ver. 7.19.10

This is rich. So, in 2008, Republican Joe Schwarz endorsed Mark Schauer for the MI-07 race and, of course, Schauer ended up narrowly defeating Tim Walberg. There has been very bad blood between Schwarz and Walberg ever since Walberg got the Club for Growth to kick the crap out of him (financially- and negative campaigningly-speaking) in the contested 2006 GOP […]

The Lametude, it burns

How low does a candidate have to sink to get to the point where he crows about endorsements from people who not only do not live in the district he or she is running in but doesn’t even live in the same state? About this low, apparently. Joel Manby, a native of Battle Creek, Michigan, today announced his endorsement of […]

Popcorn Time in MI-07 continues…

Popcorn Time in MI-07 continues…

The fireworks in the Republican primary race in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District is rising to riotous proportions. The latest salvo comes from GOPosaur candidate Marvin Carlson (I know, I know: “Who???”) He’s helping spread the meme that (a) Brian Rooney is CINO (Conservative in name only) who’s using family money to bankroll his carpetbagging campaign and (b) Tim Walberg is […]

MI-07 Candidate Rooney takes heat from all sides

MI-07 GOP candidate Brian Rooney has enemies on all sides. First, he’s taking massive fire from supporters of his GOP opponent, Tim Walberg. In a scathing attack, Margaret Canham wrote letters to (at least) The Daily Telegram in Adrian, Heritage Newspapers and to the Battle Creek Enquirer laughingly accusing Rooney of being a closet liberal and hangout out with RINO […]

Popcorn time once again as far-right Tim Walberg and farther-right Brian Rooney battle it out for who wants to deny women their legal right to choose to have an abortion most.

This guy endorses Brian Rooney for Congress in MI-07? Hoo boy…

A month ago, I blogged about how proud — really proud — Brian Rooney, candidate for the GOP nomination in MI-07, was that he had received the endorsement of far-right wingnut Erick Erickson. This week, Erick Erickson said on his radio show that he would threaten census workers who came on his property to ask him questions with a gun. […]

Tim Walberg pals around with the “Crazy Uncle Ernies” of the GOP

Tim Walberg pals around with the “Crazy Uncle Ernies” of the GOP

Gotta love this. Tim Walberg, one-term Congressman from Michigan’s 7th district is bragging — dude, BRAGGING — that Michele Bachman and Joe Wilson want him back in Congress. From his latest ridiculous email: As a note, I was in Washington D.C. for a few days last week garnering more support for our campaign and meeting with former colleagues. Among conservatives […]

GOP “Repeal It!” fervor meets healthcare reality on newspaper webpage

GOP “Repeal It!” fervor meets healthcare reality on newspaper webpage

Far be it from me to give Republicans political advice but this clamor to “Repeal It!” while Barack Obama is still in office and would have to sign any bill repealing the freshly signed health insurance reform seems a little … uhhh … dumb? But hey, guys, knock yourselves out, right? And that’s just what the GOPosaurs in my district […]
