Tim Walberg: Out of touch on health insurance reform

Tim Walberg: Out of touch on health insurance reform

On Monday night, former MI-07 Congressman Tim Walberg (shown here with his friend Michele Bachman who, thankfully, did not attend), held a “townhall” meeting in Chelsea, MI to discuss “repealing and replacing the recently passed health care bill.” Given that Barack Obama will be president after the November elections, the premise of the townhall was pretty bizarre to begin with.

ACTION! Tim Walberg hosting Anti-Health Reform townhalls

Our (not) good friend from Michigan’s 7th district, one-term former Congressman Tim Walberg, is holding a series of town hall meetings that “will focus on repealing and replacing the recently passed health care bill.” What is it about democracy that these Republicans hate so much?

The leading leading contender is an odious man named Tim Walberg who held the position for only one term before being sent packing in 2008. His […]

PHOTOS (lots) – OFA says THANKS to Congressmen Dingell & Schauer

Yesterday morning, Organizing for America (OFA) held an event at the Ann Arbor Community Center to thank Congressmen John Dingell (MI-15) and Mark Schauer (MI-07) for their leadership and votes on the recently-enacted health insurance reform law.

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. […]

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 […]

Schauer supporters outnumber protesters FIVE to one!

It must be tough being an MI-07 Republican these days. After organizing a “CODE RED!!!” protest against Rep. Mark Schauer, they ended up being out-numbered by Schauer supporters at least five-to-one on the day of the event.
