I don't care how much financial trouble a red city is in, he will never touch them. Wouldn't wanna alienate the teabaggers now, would you? Benton Harbor, MI is his first victim. Can't wait for June. That's when the recalls start.

1. Not a coincidence he's starting on the far western side of the state...
...in a city with many, many minorities. He's hoping that nobody in Lansing or Detroit cares enough to stop him. That'll be his - and Scott Walker's, et al, - precedence.

4. I'm still trying to figure out why the good people of Michigan voted for this clown
over Bernero. He was a proven leader who saw marginal improvement in the economy in Lansing. I just don't get it. Schneider is a clown!

6. Will Americans stand for a Roman Emporer move?
cuz that's what this is about, but wealth replaces the sword in this corporate state.

10. I will if it is the kind of move that gets the emperor stabbed 23 times
Not really, but that is what these idiots are going to end up with the way they have been agitating for violence. They thought they could control and direct that violence, but I suspect that their unhinged minions will be as likely to be violent all over their asses as go after Democratic politicians.

9. Do you have any examples of "red" cities that are/were in as bad
of fiscal shape as Benton Harbor but were not taken over? While I think the whole take over notion is anti-democratic, I think if one is to allege racial bias that there should be some evidence presented. Maybe you have some information you could share?
