The Justifucator was every bit as dignified in victory as we would like to see him in defeat. Defiant, red-faced, indignant, unapologetic, excoriating his detractors for their baseless feints at character assassination.... Jesus, will someone yank this bitches choke chain and tell him he WON!
Amash is popular with Libertarians and some young conservatives because of his "outsider "status.At first blush he may appear to be something of a political ingenue, but he actually marched into politics following the Kennedy model .His father Atallah Amash is a Palestinian immigrant who fled his country amidst post WW2 turmoil.He is an impressive example of what can be accomplished in this country with determination,business sense,and belief in the possibility of success that has always been the allure of the American Dream.He has amassed a considerable fortune importing tools for sale to hardware stores and automotive chains.He has also managed to keep a very low public profile.He is well connected enough to know that his middle eastern ancestry, and his wealth could spoil the bone fides of his son from the point of view of his Tea Party base.
This should be instructive to anyone who thought the Republicans in west michigan were serious when it comes to eating their own.If he had been a Democrat how long would his middle eastern ancestry and his access to ready cash from his father been left alone.As for his perception as "beholdin' to nobody" ,the campaign contribution tally shows the Koch bros. and Club For Growth as his #1. His fathers' company West Mi. Tools at #2, Amway Alticor\Windquest #3, Abraham and Sons-convenience foods distributor #4. and Citizens United -Tea Party Pac #5.A careful examination of his voting record, past and present, should demonstrate who benefits.His voting record is posted on Facebook .This will make it more transparent if people take a little time to find out who his strongest supporters are.
Ellis ,meanwhile, picked up the tab for the majority of his campaign. Ouch!
That is cold comfort to people who dream about balanced representation in a West Michigan world that is driven by an economic class that can afford to feed, cloth, and educate their children in high style whether the government shuts down or not.
Your choice -the Democrats choice for W. M.is between the rich guy who says he wants to outlaw all abortions, but really doesn't give a shit, and the guy who refused to vote on the issue when the roll was called.The latter will be your next congressman.He is currently better at lying to working people than the democrats so he's your guy.Until you see thousands of people rallying in Fuller park for a working class challenger this is what you get.HOW'S THAT TASTE?
CONGRATULATIONS TO JUSTIN AMASH-SON OF WEALTHY IMPORT BUSINESS MAGNATE ATALLAH AMASH 3RD DISTRICT WINNER.
