wasting the State of Michigan's money

[Michchamp]

$40,000 for "expert witnesses" (AKA conservative jesus freak charlatans) to testify during trial defending the constitutionality of the state's ban on same-sex marriage. Link.

Testimony the judge threw out as unbelievable (he must've been a liberal activist that judge!). Love to know who got hired and why... great example of the Right-Wing Welfare System at work there, or as some term it "Wingnut Welfare."

$40,000 + the costs of the trial (whatever those will be), passing what everyone should've known was an unconstitutional bill and defending it in court... the morons responsible for it should be tarred and feathered, and dropped off at the Ohio border. Where's the Tea Party when you need them?

The AG wrote an op-ed in the Freep about how he's just doing his duty in defending the state constitution..... Right.

And our governor still refuses to get involved, claiming that he's more focused on things that matter (ie the economy). He's not an idiot, so I know he doesn't fail to realize that major social issues matter a hell of a lot to young people in this state, including those here at UM now, making their decisions about where to live based partly on these major issues. His non-action clearly undermines his attempts to bring talent into the state, all as a means of pandering to that base, which is hardly a majority in Michigan but somehow holds so much power in our legislature.

Edit: For example, when he spoke on campus last month at Ross, I'd say more than half the questions he fielded from the audience were on social issues/Detroit. People in their early 20's DO care about social issues.

If the republicans had just worked in a bipartisan fashion when Obama was elected maybe shit would have gotten done... Nope all republicans want to do is fuel the divide and hate of America.. A battle it looks like they will lose.
Hopefully we will not have to go back to the days of republican reconciliation...

We don't know you and none of us want to. Your past actions/trangressions make that a definite.
and...You're a f'n coward. Hiding behind an ignore button so you can't read the truth posted by Victors and other posters of your welching on that bet to elrod.

You have no shame coming back here and thinking the good posters here will forget what you did and your smug/ignorant posts in regards to all from that year ago.

I've never been an internet tough guy, and at my age, my fast twitch muscles are not the same, but if I ever had the opportunity to see you, I would make you feel like you got f'ked up.

i think the ignore button can eliminate conflict on the board.

This is where it might be a good idea to walk away. And KC, you might be the man but you went way overboard.

Yes,
but 'you' have no room to talk, as in the past you have been nothing less than a troll and baiter with many posters on various message boards.

Want to continue here, .....or send me an inbox.

If it bothers you that much pay the bet. Until then me, and others will always call you on it. As far as interest in the bet, everyone on the board has interest in it, you made it public by posting it here, so the results are public.

Ignore me if you want, but it wont stop others from constantly being reminded what a loser bet welsher you are, even if you can't read it.:tup:
