These RINOs are the reason the Republican brand has morphed into "Democrat-lite". And their clones are in every state in the country. Go RINO hunting! --------------- Sen. Hansen's voting record has always been inconsistent with Republican thought

A "republican" who votes more liberal than EVERY democrat is ........ a ....... FREAKIN DEMOCRAT!
A good man/woman does not necessarily make a good politician.

Politicians of high character are clear and honest about their ideology and their voting record.

When liberals are elected as Republicans, everyone loses.

Out them and throw them out!

Letters: Sen. Hansen's voting record has always been inconsistent with Republican thought | MLive.com

In David Kolb's Dec. 17 column, “A splash of moderation might spell trouble for Republican from Hart,” he says that Sen. Goeff Hansen, R-Hart, has moderated quite a bit since being elected to the state House in 2004. 

Mr. Hansen hasn’t changed in any way. 

His voting record has never been consistent with the mainstream of Republican thought. 

Mr. Hansen votes consistently for corporate welfare programs that never seem to produce the jobs they promise. 

This is not embraced in the Republican Party platform and it is not something any of the common sense conservatives I know would support. 

In fact on a recent Mackinac Center scorecard Mr. Hansen scored 11 percent that is lower than all of the other senators including the democrats.

The Republican Party platform is quite emphatic in its opposition to socialized medicine. 

While some might quibble that the ACA is not socialized medicine, it is a distinction without a difference. 

Mr. Hansen voted to give all of Michigan’s citizens Obama-Care, not just the 10,000 people in the district Mr. Hansen estimates will benefit from his generosity.

If fiscal responsibility and voting based on the principles laid out in the Republican Party platform is now regarded as weird and extreme, perhaps Mr. Hansen would be happier in the democrat party.

Another WW2 comparison between obama's america and the United States of America we grew up with.

"During the 3-1/2 years of World War 2 that started with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and ended with the Surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945, the U.S. produced:
22 aircraft carriers, 
8 battleships, 
48 cruisers, 
349 destroyers, 
420 destroyer escorts, 
203 submarines, 
34 million tons of merchant ships, 
100,000 fighter aircraft, 
98,000 bombers, 
24,000 transport aircraft, 
58,000 training aircraft, 
93,000 tanks, 
257,000 artillery pieces, 
105,000 mortars, 
3,000,000 machine guns, and 
2,500,000 military trucks.

We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed services, invaded Africa, 
invaded Sicily and Italy, 
won the battle for the Atlantic, 
planned and executed D-Day, 
marched across the Pacific and Europe, 
developed the atomic bomb 
and ultimately conquered Japan and Germany.

It's worth noting that during almost the exact same amount of time, the Obama administration couldn't build a functioning web site."

Where is the outrage? -----------Sickening fact: Only three Camden students had ‘college ready’ SAT test scores

An even bigger failure than Obamacare, yet little outrage.
Or even interest.
Gifted to our once great country by the democrat party, teacher unions and idiots who equate money given to teachers with education given to children.

Sickening fact: Only three Camden students had ‘college ready’ SAT test scores - EAGnews.org powered by Education Action Group Foundation, Inc.:
"CAMDEN, N.J. – Paymon Rouhanifard, the new superintendent of the troubled Camden, New Jersey school district, said he experienced a “kick-in-the-stomach” moment when he recently learned that only three students who took the SAT test in the 2011-12 school year scored “college ready,” according to ABC News."

I suspect this monster would've been Barry Obama too-----
THUG LIFE: Punk Kills Boss's Wife and Daughter with Cement Block Because He Got Fired | Clash Daily: "A 20-year-old allegedly went to the Indianapolis home of his former boss during the middle of the day and murdered the man’s wife and daughter after getting fired from his job, court documents claim.

Christian Rene Haley was identified on Thursday as the suspect in the gruesome murder of Marylyn Erb, 52, and Kelley Erb, 23, on Friday December 20 at their house in Westfield.

The two women were found dead in the basement near a pool of blood, according to a probable cause affidavit, with the time of death said to be between noon and 1pm, reported MyDesert.com.

Haley had worked for Todd Erb at the family business Sundown Gardens, a nursery and gardening facility, for about three months.

However he had been fired in June for ‘attendance problems’.

The court documents claim Haley bragged to a friend that he ‘bashed (the victims’) heads in with some cement or something’ and that he was angry for getting fired."

George F. Will: 2013’s lesson for conservatives

George F. Will: 2013’s lesson for conservatives - The Washington Post:
"In 2013, the face of progressivism became Pajama Boy, the supercilious, semi-smirking, hot-chocolate-sipping faux-adult who embodies progressives’ belief that life should be all politics all the time — come on, everybody, spend your holidays talking about health care.
He is who progressives are.
They are tone-deaf in expressing bottomless condescension toward the public and limitless faith in their own cleverness. "

This is in just 5 years of Obama's rule--------Reports of sexual assaults in military on rise

I'm thinkin' if W was President, the reportage might be a bit different.
Ya think?
Reports of sexual assaults in military on rise | Pacific Daily News | guampdn.com:

"According to the latest numbers, the increase in reports across the services ranges from a low of about 45 percent for the Air Force to a high of 86 percent for the Marines, the smallest service. The Navy had an increase of 46 percent and the Army, by far the largest military service, had a 50 percent jump.

Jill Loftus, director of the Navy's sexual assault program, which also includes the Marine Corps, said the increase in reporting also suggests that more service members are starting to understand what types of behavior constitute harassment or assault."

More government. More expense. More bu!!sh!t-----------Health law to put calorie info on vending machines

Shock!
Using the "cost to the health care system" as a ruse to demand more ridiculous laws "for our benefit".
But the lawyers love 'em!
And that's what this is all about.
My Way News - Health law to put calorie info on vending machines:

Office workers in search of snacks will be counting calories along with their change under new labeling regulations for vending machines included in President Barack Obama's health care overhaul law.

Requiring calorie information to be displayed on roughly 5 million vending machines nationwide will help consumers make healthier choices, says the Food and Drug Administration, which is expected to release final rules early next year. It estimates the cost to the vending machine industry at $25.8 million initially and $24 million per year after that, but says if just .02 percent of obese adults ate 100 fewer calories a week, the savings to the health care system would be at least that great.

The rules will apply to about 10,800 companies that operate 20 or more machines. Nearly three quarters of those companies have three or fewer employees, and their profit margin is extremely low, according to the National Automatic Merchandising Association. An initial investment of $2,400 plus $2,200 in annual costs is a lot of money for a small company that only clears a few thousand dollars a year, said Eric Dell, the group's vice president for government affairs.

"The money that would be spent to comply with this - there's no return on the investment," he said.

Here is the email I read on the air tonight

"Here is the email I read on the air tonight

This message came to us from Bill in Kentucky.

"Putting things in perspective:
March 21st 2010 to October 1 2013 is 3 years, 6 months, 10 days.

December 7, 1941 to May 8, 1945 is 3 years, 5 months, 1 day.

What this means is that in the time we were attacked at Pearl Harbor to the day Germany surrendered is not enough time for this progressive federal government to build a working webpage.  
Mobilization of millions, building tens of thousands of tanks,  planes, jeeps, subs, cruisers, destroyers, torpedoes, millions upon millions of guns, bombs, ammo, etc.
Turning the tide in North Africa,  Invading Italy, D-Day,  Battle of the Bulge, Race to Berlin - all while we were also fighting the Japanese in the Pacific!!
And in that amount of time - this administration can't build a working webpage.""

If Obama fails, it will because we are racists?-------------The Great Race Hoax

Articles: The Great Race Hoax

The injection of race into the political debate serves two fundamental purposes that go beyond merely smearing political opponents. 

First, it perpetuates the myths of white privilege and rampant institutional racism. 

And second, it lays the foundation for rewriting history to conform to the racialists' agenda.

How do the racialists want history to judge President Obama's term in office? Do they want to see it primarily as an epic collision between progressivism and conservatism or do they want to see it as a collision between an African-American president and the racist ruling elite?

Make no mistake about it: the far left intends to write the history of Obama's presidency with the racial theme as the centerpiece. Whether it will work is unknown. One must also differentiate between short-term and long-term history. Historical revisionism that treats the president's race as the dominant aspect of his term might pervade pop-history in the short term, but it might be soundly rejected by historians and popular culture 50-100 years from now.

Nevertheless, historical revisionism is the intent of the racialists. If Obamacare collapses in two years, they will point to the president's race. If he leaves office an unpopular president who failed to achieve anything of substance, they will blame race.

By legitimizing the race debate, the mainstream media has in effect enabled this forthcoming perversion of history. It will happen. The only question is whether the racial theme will be absorbed into the historical record or whether history will expose it for what it is: the great race hoax.

But Barack Obama does these things to a far greater degree than anyone else that I have ever known of.
....2) Gave a no-bid contract to Halliburton – just like Bush did

In May 2010, it was reported that the Obama administration had selected KBR, a former subsidiary of Halliburton, for a no-bid contract worth as much as $568 million through 2011, just hours after the Justice Department had said it would pursue a lawsuit accusing the Houston-based company of using kickbacks to get foreign contracts.

3) Has an administration full of lobbyists, after promising he wouldn’t have any

While running for President, Obama had promised that, unlike Bush, he would not have any lobbyists working in his administration. However, by February 2010, he had more than 40 lobbyists working in his administration.
