Tag: CongressBy JGillman, Section News
While we might not yet rest easy, it should be noted that the Republicans did as well a job as could have been expected. In fact, demonstrated they were prepared for the meeting in a way that showed the country that there are other alternatives to a top down take over of our health care decisions. A fine performance indeed.
Congratulations to our (Michigan) Representative Dave Camp, and the excellent performance of the GOP leader Boehner, Ryan and company. Please don't think it is done however. If you think the arrogance of the left which was on display in full living color streamed over the TV and on line will settle for a drubbing as a reward for their pitiful poetry reading of the victims of real life, you might think again. The smell of complete control over a 5th of the economy is a political aphrodisiac of inordinate measure. It makes them HOT. (2 comments, 416 words in story) Full Story By Chris Marlink, Section News
State Senator Wayne Kuipers recently announced that he is the first candidate in the race for the 2nd Congressional District to sign Club for Growth's "Repeal it!" pledge to repeal Obamacare should it become law. What's better than being first, of course, is being credible.

You know around here there is sometimes a pretty severe lack of support for our elected folks who stray from the reservation too far, and somehow don't even recognize when they have done so. It can be an ugly sight.
Among some of them, Candace Miller has been the target of more than a few words on occasion within these pages because of political stands which fly in the face of what many of us see as "right" or at the very least "Republican" even when her primary opposition is far worse.. Of course sometimes.. we HAVE to do that. At the same time, it is highly appropriate to laud the efforts, or at the very least note the quite proper commentary Representative Miller has published on behalf of Michigan and its punished economy due to the great global warming hoax.

Manufacturers can carry a great deal of liability, particularly depending on the nature of what it is that they produce. Liability being of course the causation of actions against a company or entity that produces a product that is defective and fails, causing damage or injury. It is the ultimate responsibility that drives quality control, and best management practices in business.
Responsibility is something that makers of any product sold here or worldwide will understand. It can be their windfall.. or their end.
 Imagine if the management of General Motors was to put only one lug nut on each tire of each car they made. Certainly such a process could save a few dollars on each car. Further, what if the seat belts were held in place with a plastic clip instead of a metal one? Add to this a windshield of regular pane glass, and the first pothole met at 60MHP, results in the driver racing through the air looking like a thanksgiving turkey fresh from the processor before the stretch wrap. A vivid picture drawn to capture the imagination. Do we have your attention yet? (2 comments, 973 words in story) Full Story By Jay Riemersma, Section News
I've never believed that problems largely created by the government will be remedied by more government. This is certainly true as it relates to health care reform. Unfortunately, more government is exactly what Congress and the Obama administration are prescribing.

Jay Riemersma announced this morning he's giving away a signed copy of Sarah Palin's book, Going Rogue, to the 85th online donor of $10 and up.
Then the story got picked up by Politico and the GR Press. Smart play all around. I'd encourage right Michigan readers to support this strong conservative candidate for Congress, and get a chance at an autographed copy of Going Rogue. Just be sure to let me know if you're number 84...I've still got a few names on my Christmas list that would love this book. You can donate here.

The Obama administration is pursuing the largest expansion of federal government since FDR's New Deal. Federal spending is mortgaging our children's future and will ultimately result in a decrease in our standard of living, increased taxes, and increased inflation. And while they currently have the votes in Washington to shut Republicans out of the process, the liberal leadership can't silence the growing number of Americans who object to their statist vision.
The TEA Party movement and all those grassroots folks who turned out at health care town hall meetings this summer have put a serious cramp in the Democrat's style, and have given them reason to be concerned about the 2010 midterm elections. While those elections remain more than a year away, the primary race in Michigan's 2nd Congressional District is already heating up.
