Are You Bitter? Michigan Republicans Hope So

All negative, all the time. The MI-GOP wants you to feel bad about this state. They project it in everything they say, and everything they do. They want you mean, they want you angry, they want you to join their never-ending descent into the darkness.

They are counting on it to win elections. Here is the latest bit of proof that Republicans need things to be "bad" here in Michigan.

Republicans are already promising to exploit any divisions between Obama and the working-class voters who tend to decide elections in Michigan.

"This is the home of the Reagan Democrat—culturally conservative, blue-collar workers," said Saul Anuzis, the state Republican chairman. "As Barack Obama likes to refer to it, this is where a lot of bitter people live, and we like to remind people of that all the time." Obama was criticized during the primary campaign for referring to small-town voters as "bitter" in comments during a private fundraiser.

Gee, do you think that maybe they legislate accordingly as well?
