MAKE ‘EM ALL DRIVE CHEVY VOLTS!

[jazusamo]

Well said...Like Wisconsin the Dems didn't think this could happen in Michigan, this is coming to the surface and probably just beginning.

[cripplecreek]

They’ll have to go to a federal judge because we own the state supreme court as well and one of the liberals there is under an FBI fraud investigation.

[jazusamo]

That’ll show em but make them buy their own. :-)

[cripplecreek]

The thirty or so Conservative state governors need to organize. They need to get together and when one is attacked, they need to go to Obama and tell him where to go. There is power in numbers and if they do it as a block they can wield considerable power.

Agreed. That's a good idea.

[cripplecreek]

push back on Republican Gov. Rick Snyder by holding back federal money for a new international bridge project to Canada and a badly needed mass-transit program in ailing Detroit.

Telling him to withhold Detroit bacon? As far as the bridge is concerned, we only have to pay for the land on our end and Canada is paying for the bridge itself. Besides, construction on the bridge is still several years away.

[Paladin2]

As punishment, Bronco could bail out Detroit.

[GeronL]

He promised “revenge”

[cripplecreek]

You couldn’t pry the grin off my face with a crowbar.

[jazusamo]

Holding back the mass transit money didn't seem all that bad to me but was surprised Whitmer would suggest it, Rats live for that kind of money:)

Had no idea about the bridge but if that's the case it seems Canada wants it worse than us.

[RckyRaCoCo]

Was that the talking taco?

[DPMD]

Oh, that’s just what Detroit needs, a mass transit project. Problem solved.

[cripplecreek]

Canada has been trying to build the bridge for 30 years and even have their end prepared with a major highway spur and everything. Right across from Zug island.

[cripplecreek]

Was that the talking taco?

I don't think she started it but she joined in.

[corbe]

Hey Michigan, welcome to the club, you will now be treated like TEXAS (among other RED states), and apparently Staten Island, NY.

[Theodore R.]

What are the odds that the governor will sign the right-to-work bill?

[Ouderkirk]

Let Obama pinish Michigan....Detroit in particular.

Is there no sense of irony in any of this nitwit’s mind.

What a spendid idea, cut off your nose to spite your face.

[jazusamo]

I don't know the odds but I've read several articles where he's been quoted as saying he'll sign it.

[combat_boots]

Yo, Michigander.

Maybe now that people have a right-to-work, Deetroit will raze itself and start over.

Pound ‘em Barry! They made your union knuckledraggers cry. Oops! It was the tear gas that made them cry.
