principles as i ve seen them and it s not outside of the realm for republicans to be pro-labor and pro-business and i think that is where the republican party lost their focus. they lost the fact that small businesses and working families throughout this great state are part of their constituent base and they are turning their back on those group of constituents. to me that is appalling and that was the reason we sat down and decided how do we deal with this. and so we formed lunchpail republicans. and make no doubt about it, we will use this pac to target those republicans who vote for right to work, and turn their backs on small businesses and working families in this great state of indiana. what are you hearing from republican leaders, republican legislators, in your state since you started running these ads, since you made the announcement you will be supporting primary challenges to anti-union republican incumbents, how is the republican establishment reacting to you?
and conservatives. so much so i wouldn t be surprised to see if not in the next congress, very soon, republicans joining to say the supreme court has spoken, this is now the law of the land we can t change it not immediately let s at least see where the money comes from. somebody s name should be attached here, keep in mind right now, contribute all kind of secret money and your name may never be known that it s coming from you. do you think there is enough negative sort of blow-back against candidates from off message statements that are nevertheless supposed to be toward their benefit that candidates are more worried about the lack of coordination than they are happy to have billionaires dumping in unlimited money on their behalf? i realize newt gingrich got in trouble for the bain stuff and he backed off but i m not sure that that trouble is more valuable than the hit against mitt romney that that money got him. i think newt gingrich is having second thoughts to answer your ques
city, approximately 50% of all african american citizens in the state would then be living under the authority of an elected manager. think about that for a second. congratulations, michigan. you elected a republican legislature and republican governor last time around. and so now, if you are black and you live in the state of michigan, you may soon have only a 50-50 chance of your vote counting in michigan toward who represents you in your city or town. that letter that was sent to governor snyder a few weeks ago expressed concern about the governor s expanded emergency management law, irreversibly undermining voting rights in the state. dozens of the elected officials asked for a meeting with the governor before he took further action under the law. we spoke with the office of the congressman who was the lead author of the letter, the office said to their knowledge the governor never responded to the letter let alone agreed to hold the meeting. michigan republicans who support this e
i m sorry if i created any confusion there. that was one of john huptsman s anti-mitt romney ads that was taken down today in a hurry after huntsman endorsed governor romney. they also took down the weather vane ad and the back-flipping monkey ad. but nothing can ever be truly erased on the internet machine. i m very much, very much and adamantly opposed to tax increases. the head of the bay state council of the blind said that your name was fee-fee. that you just raised fee after fee after fee. that s a tax. you can t be a perfectly lubricated weather vane on the important issues of the day. if republicans didn t like mitt romney s position on the so-called union-busting proposal in ohio, all they had to do was wait one day before he changed it. history has shown us over the last few decades in this 24/7 media world, the flip-flopping candidate cannot get elected.
in advance of the super bowl in the nation s eyes will turn to indiana to watch the most famous union workers on earth battle for national championship. a funny thing happened on the way to that partisan victory in indiana. it got left partisan. we should have seen this coming when a conservative republican state senator brent wolf, decided with democrats in voting against the union stripping bill, in committee in the state legislature saying he did not see it would have any economic benefit, then other republicans like luke abbott criticized the right to work anti-union right law, he said the went against the principles of the republican party. a new group called the lunchpail republicans has started airing ads on indiana television stations, taking on republican governor mitch daniels and the republican house speaker.
