This a-hole even had 90 unpaid parking tickets in the City of Detroit in 2004.
He was at the top of a delinquint list for owing $4,720.
Took 2 minutes to lfind when looking him up on the internet - not someone we would have "developed trust" in!

Dear MoveOn member,
This is an urgent request.
This week, news broke that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce—one of the biggest sources of corporate cash backing Republicans this year—has been using money from foreign corporations in India, Bahrain, and elsewhere to fund its attack ads, in apparent violation of the law.1
This explosive news could shift the course of the election if the Chamber is forced to scale back and all the right-wing candidates they're helping have to answer for this.
The Chamber knows that. Their strategy is to give no quarter and hope this blows over. In the last 48 hours they've actually spent millions more on ads targeted against progressive heroes including Russ Feingold.2
The liars on the left are expecting their collaborators in the MSM to "report" these fabrications as directed by MoveOn.org and their ilk.
Be ever vigilant and contact the liberal media when they show their true colors!

Democrats: Adler campaign backed Tea Party candidate
Democrats: Adler campaign backed Tea Party candidate courierpostonline.com Courier-Post
"'The goal was to take 5 percent of (Republican Jon) Runyan's vote,'' said a Democrat with direct knowledge of the Adler campaign and CCDC operations."
The Tea Party brand has REAL political value and the media is letting the democrat hooligans steal it to hurt GOP candidates and decieve voters.
It almost worked in Michigan.
This WILL be a real problem in coming elections.
We've got to attack those media outlets that give credence to this obvious attempt to disenfranchise American voters.

U.S. Transportation Chief Weighs Urging a Ban on All Phone Use by Drivers - Bloomberg
"U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood says he believes motorists are distracted by any use of mobile phones while driving, including hands-free calls, as his department begins research that may lead him to push for a ban."
“I don’t want people talking on phones, having them up to their ear or texting while they’re driving,” LaHood said in an interview this week.
So Ray has made his decision that we shouldn't use cell phones and now he spends our money on "research" that will prove his hypothesis.
That's "american" government under Obama, folks.

But that argument is not being made; on the contrary, those who want soda omitted from the items obtainable by food stamps are making the link between health and public spending."

"The change is reportedly connected with the speed of the Gulf Stream, which has shrunk in half in just the last couple of years.
Polish scientists say that it means the stream will not be able to compensate for the cold from the Arctic winds.
According to them, when the stream is completely stopped, a new Ice Age will begin in Europe."
Well, at least they're scientists, not fat, massage parlor molesters.

Is Quebec the Future of the U.S.?
Pajamas Media » Is Quebec the Future of the U.S.?
"But even if Quebec remains in the Canadian family, its future looks problematic.
It is the highest taxed jurisdiction on the North American continent, and taxes in general, value added or GST surtaxes, and user fees are waistlining out by the year.
Indeed, a new user fee will shortly be piled onto our single-payer medicare system, which is already prohibitively costly and seems almost totally dysfunctional.
Patients wait inordinately long before being treated, are often released prematurely, and some die on corridor gurneys.
For these undoubted benefits Quebec has earmarked approximately 40% of its program spending, which is, admittedly, a Canadian problem as well. (Americans, take heed, and remember, Michael Moore is a sicko liar.)"

American Thinker: How to Win the Trade War with the Democrats
American Thinker: How to Win the Trade War with the Democrats: "There are three positions on trade when a country is being punched out by mercantilists:
1. Unilateral Free Trade. This is the Republican establishment's pacifist strategy of just taking the punches to afford an example to the rest of the world. This has been U.S. policy for three decades.
2. Protectionism. This is liberal Democrats' 'industrial policy' strategy of protecting government-preferred industries with tariffs and subsidies. President GW Bush did it with respect to steel and was forced by the WTO to back down. President Obama did it with respect to tires produced in China and succeeded in enforcing it.
3. Balanced Trade. This is the conservative pro-free-market strategy of balancing exports with imports in order to defeat the mercantilist strategy of maximizing exports and minimizing imports. It takes advantage of a special WTO rule that lets trade deficit countries impose import duties or limitations in order to bring trade into reasonable balance."
