A cold, cold heart

From Michigan republican Senate hopeful Clark Durant:

"In regards to the Occupy Wall Street movement, Durant said the protesters should 'go find a job.' In regards to the wealth gap the movement decries, Durant said, 'I think it should be wider.'"

While I think the radical legislation struck by Gov. Snyder and the state gop have improved Senator Stabenow's re-election odds immeasurably (and President Obama's chances here in Michigan as well) by firing up unions and the Democratic base (note that Karl Rove--don't like him, but no political dummy--isn't spending money here, at least yet), it doesn't hurt when republicans like Durant (don't think the republicans here in Michigan are nutty enough to elect him) say things that really serve to underscore the differences between the parties.

People like me and you just don't matter to republicans--they wouldn't pee on you if you were on fire unless they were taking your last nickel as payment.

Peace,
