Small Government Conservatives? Not in Michigan! [View all]

[jpbollma]

So, here in Michigan the GOP always trots out the idea that Democrats are socialists, we want America to be another Europe, we are commies ect ect.

Yet, since the GOP has taken over here, they have proven to be just has much of big government "socialists" as the Democrats, yet the Tea Party blindly supports these guys. It's almost comical. The GOP legislature has approved medical coverage for children with autism (which I support), and they have approved a work-sharing program modeled off of Germany (which I support) those evil Euro trash lovers!

They also have the "soviet" thing down by having Snyder appoint "emergency managers' that have the power to literally become dictators of entire cities appointed by the State.

So if Democrats had done any of these things we would have never heard the end of red baiting...now not a peep. I guess in regards to the first two things I mentioned, I can be happy the GOP here isn't quite as bat shit as in some other states..
