Meet the newest GOP Sleazebag in MI

http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2012/05/republicans_welcome_grand_rapi.html

This guy is really a lowlife. He signed an affidavit to become a Republican, then 4 days later he hosted a DEMOCRATIC fundraiser and didn't tell the supporters attending he had jumped ship. There's also some sleaziness regarding a young guy who announced his intent to run as a Democrat, then mysteriously withdrew. They're launching a voter fraud investigation, apparently. This cretin has ducked the press, saying in an e-mail that "anybody unhappy with his change in parties can get their money back." What a POS.



The GOP sucks.

I live in Grand Rapids and he has always been a sleaze. I think he was originally a Republican and is switching back... after being a useless Dem.

I'd wager he wasn't much of a Dem in the first place, if GR elected him. Blood red down there, home of scAmway.

Sadly the surrounding area residents outnumber our true blue city proper so our county always goes red. We keep trying though!

It still amazes how many people will defend the Devos family around here. This is a really good article explaining exactly what Betsy has done to try and destroy public education. If you’re interested.
