Whoops, thanks cc.
And here is the antidote, Terry Bowman of "Union Conservatives" who might run against her...
The dynasty aspect could be used to make some interesting then-and-now comparisons. When John Dingell Senior was first elected to the house, the federal debt was approximately $21 billion, or $168 per capita. At $17.3 trillion, or $54,645 per capita it is time for a new deal.
Back in ‘94, Tom Foley, who was then speaker, went down to defeat at the hands of a younger opponent who was making contrasts between 1964 and 1994—the contrasts between 1932 and now are even bigger.
Coolidge spoke of the costs of government in his day as an astounding sum of 7 billion dollars.
The $7 billion must have included state and local—the 1928 federal budget came in at slightly under $3 billion. If you pro-rated the present budget along the lines of a 40 hour week, 52 weeks/year, $3 billion wouldn’t cover the first two hours of the first day. $7 billion would at least get you beyond lunch.
I think he meant the total cost of government. Its here in this awesome speech about taxes and the burden government imposes on the people.

I can not imagine why anyone would vote for anyone that many times. This is passed down like some Middle East dictatorship. Can we say “vote fraud”?
If you think Dingell would be bad, Warren would be worse. She's my state senator that doesn't represent me. She used to run a pro-abortion organization. Far leftist across the board.
The one good thing about Warren running (and losing in the primary) is that she will be out of my state senate district. My congressman is Tim Walberg, so I won't have to deal with her ever again. :)
Is Bowman in? Good. I’m on the wrong (right) side of Joy Rd to vote for him, but I can let my contacts know that this guy is worth their time.
LOL. Conyers and Dingell. They belong together. Conyers got his start by working for Dingell back when Dingell represented Detroit.
I don’t think its official but the papers are calling him the potential challenger and Rob Steele is saying that he’s supporting him.
The snow in Michigan is shifting and its hard to say how things will shake out. I see the Huron Valley EMS or ambulance service voted against unionizing last night as well.
Huron Valley Ambulance paramedics and EMTs overwhelmingly shoot down attempt to unionize

That’s big, especially in this county.
