“....And the trees are all kept equal. By hatchet, axe and saw.”

In Michigan, our dogs ride inside the car.

“I talk to the trees.... but they don’t listen to me...”

[dalereed]

“In fact all Michigan cows give chocolate milk.”

Do they mate them with black angus steers?

Michigan has happy trees.

“What a maroon.”

Bugs Bunny for Prez!

“Why has Spot stopped barking?”

LOL, that’s just mean!

Spot is mesmerized by the trees don’tcha know?

[jocon307]

Oh my goodness it is true, FREEPERS KNOW EVERYTHING!

Trees in Michigan are anything but equal. The trees in the northern part of the state are rather stunted from cold long winters, while in the southern most counties they grow fast and very tall.

The stupid bastard doesn't know anything about the state, much less it's trees.

They say he is from Michigan. What city?

[CASchack]

Bloomfield Hills (surprise, surprise).....not exactly a working-class community.

——The LDS programming only goes so far. Perhaps he needs a ROM upgrade.——

He is one deeply strange guy.

I get the feeling that he is so accustomed to putting on whatever front he thinks other people want to see, that he’s forgotten what he’s hiding.

Was this a SNL skit? Please say yes! Nobody can be this stupid! Not even obamma!

I'm anything but a Romney defender, but I actually see his point about the trees.

I'm a Michigan native. I've visited most of the lower-48 states and either lived, worked, or spent extended periods of time in Missouri, Iowa, New Mexico, New York, Texas, Illinois, and (sorry to say) Massachusetts.

Compared to most of those states, Michigan has so much fresh water and rainfall that its trees grow taller than many other states. That was one of the big things my wife liked about Michigan — she complained about the stunted bush-like trees in many other places where we've lived or traveled.

Now if the rest of what Romney says could be made to make sense, I'd be happier, but the tree comment is one of the few things he says to which I can relate.

He reminds me of Carry more and more every day.
