INTERVIEW: Pam Byrnes, Democrat for Michigan’s Congressional 7th District – “There’s a clear path to victory here”

All photos by Anne C. Savage, special to Eclectablog In August of last year, I sat down with Pam Byrnes, the sole Democratic candidate for Michigan’s hotly contested 7th Congressional District. In 2008, Democrat Mark Schauer defeated incumbent Republican Tim Walberg but, in 2010, Walberg won the seat back. Walberg, a former pastor and bible salesman is one of the […]

UPDATED: Tim Walberg: “Americans are all slaves” to all sorts of debauchery

UPDATED: Tim Walberg: “Americans are all slaves” to all sorts of debauchery

Transference much, Tim? Tim Walberg, Congressman for Michigan’s 7th District, doesn’t think much of Americans. I mean he REALLY doesn’t think much of Americans. In fact, according to Walberg, we’re all just a bunch of slaves. Here’s what he said at a Family Research Council conservative pastor’s conference called “Watchmen at the Wall” in May: And so in [the Biblical […]

Tim Walberg’s hypocrisy continues, votes AGAINST ending #GOPshutdown after bragging he voted to end it

This level of hypocrisy is truly breathtaking Tim Walberg has sent out emails to his constituents twice in the past month bragging about his votes to “keep government running”. On September 20th there was this one: Then, on October 5th came this one: As I pointed out after first one, these weren’t votes to reopen government in any real sense. […]

MI-07’s Pam Byrnes named to DCCC’s “Jumpstart” program of nationally competitive races

Game ON! These days, Anne and I feel like we’re at the center of the bullseye for a number of nationally-watched races. First we have Gretchen Driskell in the 52nd District who is the only Democrat in Michigan holding a seat in a majority Republican state House district. Then, of course, is the epic fight to reclaim the governor’s mansion […]

INTERVIEW: Pam Byrnes, Democratic candidate for Michigan’s 7th Congressional District

A progressive breath of fresh air for MI-07 On July 18th, Pam Byrnes, the former Michigan House Speaker Pro Tem, announced her candidacy for Michigan’s 7th District. MI-07 is currently represented by former pastor Tim Walberg, a man who calls himself “the original tea partier”. The district is a rather convoluted mess of gerrymandering running from the west side of […]

Republican Tim Walberg: Stock market crash that tanked the US economy was a “short-time burp”

Don’t worry, that was just your retirement income being flushed down the proverbial toilet When the stock market crashed at the end of 2008 while George Bush was phoning in his last six months in office, retirees across the country watched as their nest eggs, retirement income accumulated over decades by investing in stocks and bonds, mainly through 401K plans, […]

Look out, Tim Walberg. Your days are numbered.

Republican Joe Schwarz to announce run as a Democrat in Michigan’s 7th district tomorrow

We’ve sunk THIS low???

The Michigan Democratic Party has been busy recruiting a candidate to run against Tim Walberg in the 7th District where I live. However, as I reported back in March and others have reported since then, they aren’t recruiting Democrats, they are recruiting Joe Schwarz. A Republican.

I’m not kidding.

The latest steaming pile of excrement from Congressman Tim Walberg

I don’t what I did to deserve this idiot as my Representative to Congress. Here’s his latest lie-filled drivel: More than two and a half years after the Obama Administration’s trillion dollar “stimulus” package, the Department of Labor reported that the unemployment rate remains unchanged this month at 9.1 percent. Yet, the Administration continues to undermine job creation with the […]

Rep Tim Walberg brings jobs fair to southern Michigan – blames regulation for lack of employer participation

Rep Tim Walberg brings jobs fair to southern Michigan – blames regulation for lack of employer participation

This past week, Rep. Tim Walberg (MI-07) sponsored a jobs fair. So far, so good. I’ve been waiting for him to do something, anything related to jobs so I view this sort of thing favorably. Unfortunately, the fair doesn’t appear to have been very successful. On Wednesday, I hosted a Job Resource Fair at the Jackson County Fair Grounds. This […]

Tim Walberg doesn’t want to hear from you about JOBS!

Tim Walberg doesn’t want to hear from you about JOBS!

When this year’s crop of Republicans got elected, I went to their fledgling websites and looked for a section about “Jobs”. I didn’t find any which was pretty shocking. But, at that point, most of them were using the same basic boilerplate site, probably provided to them by the party or the government or something. So, I thought I should […]
