Seems earlier this week I was giving thanks for Indiana, a cesspool for the right's idiocy that was the one Rust Belt state that was worse politically than Michigan.
Oops--spoke too soon.
Dave Agema, a Michigan member of the republican national committee, spent a portion of his week writing a hate-filled rant on his Facebook page about what perverts the homosexuals are--the usual republican claptrap about recruiting children and the gays "filthy" lifestyle. National republicans are calling for his resignation which, unsurprisingly, he is refusing to give. Remember, this is a leader of the republican party, not just some rank and file republican idiot.
All of which points up why having Governor Gutless, Rick Snyder, in the governor's mansion has proven to be such a fiasco for the state of Michigan. It's hard to imagine forward thinking businesses (many of whom rightfully offer domestic partner benefits), and forward thinking recent college graduates (80% of whom support marriage equality) wanting either to stay here or to relocate here with the republican party and its hate mongerers in control of the state legislature, and a Governor who claims to not be interested in divisive issues but who has proven to be little more than a cowardly rubber stamp for the republicans' radical agenda.
Sowing hate does not reap good jobs.
Peace,
