Michigan Gov set to endorse Romney..

Here we have a Teabagger Govenor thats endorsing a "hometown boy" that has promised to (How did he say it) destroy unions.
And now he has or will have the endorsement of a Governor that is obviously a member of the Koch Bros robots.
Heres a small sampling of what the Mich Gov stands for from a year old article..

MI is an open primary state. Odds are that Snyder will just encourage (D)s and (I)s to come out and vote against the one he is supporting.

God I hope Rmoney loses here.

of Union representation,is the Koch Bros money trying to influence voters or the general poulation that unions are destructive to our Democracy..When in fact it was Unions that set the standard for a living wage even for those that are/were not union members..
..It is obvious that Romney is catering to the Teabaggers and he keeps talking about this was his home state and how his Dad was this or that..The truth is his Dad (at one tme was a Union member) supported unions..And now his son is trying to tear them down for the radical vote.
