The Michigan GOP may redistrict the ultraconservative, pro-liberty Justin Amash, who is the furthest from Obama other than Dr. Paul.

That sucks. I know AIPAC is extremely unhappy with him and I thought that I heard that they've already got a primary challenger lined up for 2012.

I won't be surpried if he's a oneterm Congressman. That's what tyranny of the majority does, of which the Articles of Confederation did its damndest to prevent, but the Constitution basically imported centralized democracy to America. I hope James Madison was really just joking when he said he was worried about the tyranny of the majority.

On November 2, 2010, Amash defeated Democrat Pat Miles by a 60-37 margin.
He is doomed!!!!! Doomed I tell you!!!

BTW Republicans have held this district since the 1992 elections.

Explain how this is Pro Obama
Because the Republican who runs against him in the primary will be more like Obama than Amash is.

Amash votes on legislation Obama supports no more than 2% of the time and Obama certainly supports our alliances in the Middle East (including with Israel; BS that Obama doesn't support the Military State of Israel) more than Amash does.

What AIPAC (as well as many other lobbying groups) needs to understand is that no one has the right to take money from someone else by force (I singled out AIPAC in particular, because I believe that they're trying to get him defeated).

Just because the person may be so far right than anything else is closer to the left, does not make it pro Obama.

Troll, troll, troll your boat, gently down the sludge...


This is pure troll.

The new wave of trolling in this forum is saying ridiculously outlandish things and not getting punished because it isn't overtly antagonistic. "France is going to invade and colonize Greece" is another recent example. Even the people posting this crap don't believe it and yet there are suckers who respond because they think they see low hanging fruit.

Duke Nuke Forever sucks? After all that wait? Boy am I disillusioned.

Well in Gearbox's defense they've already announced a new Duke Nuken game, and they had to patch Forever together from 10 years of fragmented development over several companies, so I'll give them another shot. But yeah, forever just doesn't live up to its hype by a longshot. Starcraft II it aint.
