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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

Tim Walberg has finally agreed to a debate sponsored by the AARP bringing to four the total number of debates between him and Democratic incumbent Mark Schauer in Michigan’s 7th District. Walberg had been holding off on accepting the AARP’s debate invitation because he felt they were beholden to the Democratic Party, calling them a “Democratic organization.” Asked Thursday what […]

The Hill is reporting that MI-07 Democratic incumbent Mark Schauer is now in a tied-up race with Tim Walberg. After trailing Walberg in the polls all summer, Schauer is now tied at 41%. Walberg leans among Independents by only 2% (37% to 35%). The tightest race among the 12 [polled] is in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, a contest that has […]

As I mentioned yesterday, Mark Schauer is having a very good week in his race against former Bible salesman Tim Walberg. In addition to endorsements from the Toledo Blade and the Marshall Chamber of Commerce, he can now add the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ PAC to the list of endorsements. From their endorsement letter: This letter is official notification that […]

Good news today for Democratic incumbent Mark Schauer: JACKSON – Today Congressman Mark Schauer (D-MI) was endorsed by the Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce over former Congressman Tim Walberg (R-MI), whom the Chamber previously endorsed in 2008. The news follows an announcement yesterday from Next Alternative, Inc. (NAI), outlining its plans for a new battery assembly plant and up to […]

I was having a look at Tim Walberg’s website this morning, wondering if he had anything that discusses the Republicans’ recent rejection of a federal bill to reward companies that return jobs to the USA and to punish those that outsource them. I had a look at his jobs plan and, you won’t believe this, IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY MENTION […]

Having read numerous blog entries, articles and diaries on Daily Kos about hippy punching and whining prohibitions and bucking up demands I have become convinced and hereby issue this firm directive to all “base” Democrats: DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, VOTE FOR BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA OR JOE ROBINETTE BIDEN, JR. ON NOVEMBER 2ND, 2010. If you do, you will be […]

I knew this was one of the top most-contested races in the country but I didn’t realize just how competitive it was until I learned THIS about the National Republican Congressional Committee’s (NRCC) financial investment in it: The NRCC is going on the air in more than 30 districts on Monday, seeking bring the fight to Democrats in many competitive […]

Honestly, with all I know about Tim Walberg, Republican Tea Party candidate for MI-07, this shouldn’t surprise me. But … well … it does. Because as wrong-headed and bad for this state as Tim Walberg is, I never thought he was a complete and utter fool. Now he has gone and opened his mouth to, as they say, remove all […]
