GRAND RAPIDS – Long-time GOP donors Dick and Betsy DeVos lead an Amway-related contingent making a late entry to the Michigan Republican primary in support of Mitt Romney, according to Politico.

Romney, a Michigan native, has enjoyed widespread backing among elected leaders statewide, but the DeVos difference could help -- despite not coming until election day.

In a message obtained by Politico, DeVos and Van Andel family members call Romney “a leader who stands for economic freedom, hope and opportunity.”

It’s unclear to whom the letter went to, but in addition to carrying Dick and Betsy DeVos’ name, it is signed by Amway founder Rich DeVos and his wife, Helen, as well as family members Dan, Pam, Doug and Maria DeVos. Cheri VanderWeide, Dick DeVos’ daughter, also is on the list.

1. Woo Hoo Amway...

cheap shit and pyramid schemes backing the romster.

2. Well, that makes a lot of sense in a weird way.

Just like Amway, both mormonism and Mitt's campaign are multi-level-marketing schemes.

3. The DeVos' are a toxic Rethug couple

who have dominated Rethuglican politics in Michigan for decades. They are especially prominent in the Western Part of the State (Grand Rapids), where the Dutch family background is your entree into the wealthier circles. She is the one with the balls, the more rapid and conniving of the two, but it's no surprise that they back Romney - they are joined at the hip.

4. And guess who's Betsy DeVos' brother?

Erik Prince of Blackwater/Xe/Academi infamy.

The entire family is soulless reptilian subhuman garbage.

5. I find it odd that the sAmway people waited until today to back Mitt

and didn't even make a public announcement.

That suggests weak support.

DeVos and VanAndel families are members of either the Reformed or Christian Reformed churches, which are very conservative and very Calvinist.

I'm wondering whether Romney's Mormon faith is a problem for them.

6. the kind of folks I would expect to be backing Mittens, actually.
