Yet this tool of David and Charles Koch took 59% of the vote. :wtf:

[mod mom]

1. Well it tops Oh Gov Kasich who is at 30%

2. That's what I simply don't get about all these Republican governors...

...the people who voted for them cannot seriously be surprised at what they're getting from these guys. And if they are, then in their stupidity maybe they deserve what they get!

7. I've been saying this for a while.

You elect stupid people, you're gonna have to live with the stupid decisions they make. It's called logic and it's use will save us.

3. Yeah, he got alot of the "democratic" vote. Man, are they

ever sorry now. I say, tough shit. They made their bed and there's no way in hell I'd go to Lansing and protest a damn thing.

4. Wouldn't matter if it was 0%.

These guys have been handed their marching orders and they are going to execute them no matter the cost. Sure, the r's will probably be out of office at the next election, but the damage will remain.

5. You are absolutely right about the executing their marching orders.

6. Their corporate approval rating is 100% and thats all that matters.nt

8. but if we can tie things up in the courts long enough to recall him

it could change things (maybe)


At least we can mitigate most of the damage this way.

9. Well before you think you are going to tie up the court

take a look at what they are doing or have done to Legal Aid's budget. These lawyers are the experts on challenges to plans that hurt the poor. Take a look at what the GOPERS have done to their budgets and what restrictions are being put on their funding.

12. as soon as Snyder attempts to dissolve a local government and install

his Emergency Manager there will be lawsuits.

Nobody is going to just let this guy kick them out of an elected office without a fight.


This will end up in the courts if he tries to execute that authority, bet on it.

10. But..but he's one tough nerd!!!

:sarcasm:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

11. And they couldn't give two shits about it.

They were voted in. Now they are royalty and can do whatever they want.
Seriously.
There's only one way out now, and they don't realize it, but they're probably going to go the way of Louis and Marie...
