Rep. Thaddeus McCotter Remains A Favorite

Posted on | March 23, 2010 | 21 Comments

by Smitty

via Power Line, Michael Ramirez lays it down:

“We the Government”

Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, via Gateway Pundit, expands on this wonderfully:

…the most dangerous special interest is big government and President Obama is its lobbyist.


McCotter sure is a lot more fun when he isn’t speaking through contained fury.

Update: Trifecta talks about something topical.

    Great stuff, Smitty! McCotter is one of my favorites (and you’re right; he’s a fun guy to watch when he’s in a relaxed, conversational mode).

    Thank you Smitty for the video.

    Is there any reason we can’t draft him for 2012?

    Love him! He will actually write you back even if you aren’t in his District. People give him a hard time for voting for the auto bailouts, but look where he lives. For the most part, he gets it spot on.
