This man, like many Republicans lies like a rug. I refer to the state as Michiganistan for their hateful stance towards GLBT and their desire to reduce living conditions to third world levels.

into office just to spite democrats because of Granholm and then the corporations paid him for his signature on a bill that"wasn't on his agenda". What can be expected from a corrupt, lying rethug politician. I've come to expect it and am not surprised in the least.

Liar Synder said he would govern from the middle and use "data" to make decisions well the Right-to-lie is only one of Liar Synder's accomplishments others include: canceling item pricing law (costs jobs, cost families, benefits Meijer and WalMart), canceling helmet law (cost lives, increases insurance costs, benefits no one), raised taxes on retired people (costs retirees, benefits businesses), gerrymandering Michigan (costs democracy, benefits the party of death.)

4,000 jobs just in the industry alone. Residual jobs also in the thousands from material suppliers, restaurants, transportation, housing, start-up businesses including casting and location companies, studio build-outs. Millions were being invested in our state for new studios or converted factories that are once again sitting empty. Snyder is a piece of garbage.

29. Big News!!! A Rethuglican Lied!!!

Dec 2012

Like in the fable of "The Frog and the Scorpion", it's their nature...

The real problem is Democrats not showing up to vote in 2010, a US Census year, which allowed the Rethuglicans to redraw and gerrymander the Congressional Districts in such a way as to basically control the US House and state legislatures until after the 2020 US Census. We may retain the White House and the US Senate until then, and we may recapture some governorships, but we've got a hard row to hoe to retake control of the House and/or state legislatures before the next US Census.

We screwed up big time in 2010, and it's biting us in the ass all over the country now...
