Michigan voters side with Romney, believe trees to be ‘right height’: poll

Mar. 8, 2013 2:57pm Eddie Scarry

A new survey by Democratic polling firm Public Policy Polling shows most voters in Michigan, where Mitt Romney was born, also believe the state’s trees are “just the right height.”

While campaigning in 2012 Romney repeatedly… referenced the “right height” trees found in Michigan. He never fully explained his love for the state’s trees but the Washington Post took a thoughtful guess in February last year:

The region’s red maples (40 feet at maturity) and butternuts (50 feet) — in contrast to the west coast’s ultra-imposing redwoods or the South’s live oaks or the iconic Southern magnolia — are somehow gentler and feel a bit more accessible. And the fall colors, well, goes without saying.

Romney lost Michigan to President Obama in the election.

Problems with Michigan? Simple.

Unions.

Democrats.

Unions are the only form of cancer that has their host convinced that killing itself is good. At Cobo hall, the premier showplace in Downtown Detroit, a trade show exhibitor was not allowed to carry a 1 pound box of pamphlets to her booth. She had to wait two hours for two union employees to show up and carry them in.

Democrats like Ginny-Grandstand-Granholm and every Detroit mayor since the 1960′s have NOT solved one single Michigan problem yet the people keep voting them in. Why face reality, when you can promote the glory of being victimized?

I am a life long Michigander and I am fed up to here with the FAILURE of my Republican party to make a significant dent into what this state has become. Right to Work was great but each Union fiefdom is acting fast to enact laws to override the law before it takes effect. Cry-baby unions have in place tactics to oust the law..

What the hell is wrong with Michigan. I am so angry!!! I have lived here in this beautiful state for my whole life. I am finding that the people of this state do not represent my values anymore. We used to believe in freedom, family, working hard, guns, and education. The people here do not believe in any of that… just what can I get for free.. diminish freedom.. and take everyone down the rabbit hole of hell !!!!! It makes me ill to think that I live next to people that want my guns, my parental control, dumb my kids down, and the list goes on. MOVING!!!!! I will not remain in a state that continues down the road of servitude in the name of the STATE or WASHINGTON. I am not into collectivism! Look at Detroit, Flint, and Saginaw just to name a few. Going through the books on some of our cities is atrocious!!! RED RED RED, that is how the books look here. The schools are a mess, the roads suck, and the local laws keep getting more intrusive on our rights!!! Makes me sick! Can these crazies in Lansing get their heads out of their behinds long enough to get rid of some of the old laws, NO! Alligators not to be tied to fire hydrant in Detroit, are you freaking kidding me!!! Take my money, take my child’s mind, take my freedom… NO MORE!

Glad that’s out of the way. One more important thing taken care of. Now, on to “are the rocks too small, just right or too big” and “is the water wet enough?”
