Celebrate the polls, ignore the trolls.

I'm not thrilled with Snyder but he's light years better than union shill Schauer would have been. Still gotta fight him on immigration issues but he doesn't have much power there.

I am pleasantly enjoying the screeching of my liberal cousins in Kazoo over the fact that they now have a republican state senator.



Michigan legislative action thread

[Vermont Lt]

There have been 72 Governors of MA (including Charlie Baker, elected the other day.)

31 of them have been republican.

And of 7 of the last 10 have been republican.

Our state is a liberal crazy zone. Our Govs have been left leaning Republicans (tend to be social liberal and fiscal moderates). The Republican Party, in the State, could hold a meeting in a large bus. But we are pretty consistent when it comes to electing R Govs.

Interesting stats.

A good friend of mine’s daughter-in-law, Cindy Gamrat, was just elected state rep over in the 80th district of Plainwell....

[cripplecreek]

Michigan is the same way and most of our governors have been republican.

[CodeToad]

Nice! I love that cartoon!

Mike shirkey got the tea party vote to the house a few years ago and he won state senate seat for my district and republican Brett Roberts took the house seat.

Celebrate the polls, ignore the trolls.

Trolls were licking their wounds the day after the election - and were very quiet...

[cripplecreek]

Imagine how different the senate would look without the 17th amendment or if we got rid of the popular election of senators.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Yeah...but my Zeta Sigma frat brother is still in congress...

The crippled duck president says that he is listening to the 2/3 who DIDN’T vote!

I read yesterday that one of the reasons the IRS is blocking release of the Lois Lerner emails is because there is correspondence there between Lerner an Sheheen. Any possibility of taking her down for corruption?

Imagine how different the senate would look

I never thought about that. That's a pretty impressive chart.......

[cripplecreek]

48 GOP senators and another 11 likely from the divided states.

Yesterday I had some progtard following me around on twitter pretending to be a “moderate” republican.

First he tried to tell me that Michigan should have an appointed AG because an attorney general is supposed to “enforce the executive’s agenda” (Just like Holder)

Then he told me that the 17th amendment should have been unneeded because our founders wanted an equally divided senate with each state picking one democrat and one republican senator because they were never supposed to mirror the unbalances in the state legislatures.

Yeah, that’s what I don’t get - if they didn’t vote, how are they voters? As well, why not assume that by not voting for “his policies, every single one of them” can we not infer that they are not worth voting for?

In Michigan, after passing a “Right-To-Work” law, Gov. Rick Snyder wins handily.

I don't live there yet but I do love him.

[MarMema]

Wow that is a nice map!!

[SunkenCiv]

They were sleeping, having spent the previous day voting multiple times for Demwit candidates.

[SunkenCiv]

Same here.
