Rick Michigan supporter on Mackinac Island

[guyNbluejeans]

Embarrassing. Pot smokers doing a news conference. The goofy "I'm cool" demeanor gave them away.

[guyNbluejeans]

Too many welfare types that think it's cool to make scads of babies while decent, hard-working folks carry their load is a major reason why the state has such a crap reputation and why it's always impoverished. Give the lazy bums and their liberal enablers a one-way bus ticket to Hawaii and be done with them, as then things will improve markedly.

Also, all those mindless pot smokers living there need to get their acts together; the walking-dead lifestyle is lame and embarrassing.

Good luck!

wooo hoo! the Drank! Btw, isn't "drank" a drug cocktail involving couch syrup and boooze?

[MrRed21t]

okkay... obviously this video is cut and edited. how can it be taken seriously. lay off people... who likes getting a camera shoved in their face?

[fitzy0619]

yeah, i was definitely up there that weekend campaigning for an attorney general. rick snyder's campaign paid for me and two of my friends to vote in the straw poll. On the way to the Grand Hotel, one of the guys campaigning for rick was trying to get other people to go vote. he literally said "can i bribe you to go vote" hmmmm... bad politics

Goddamn the Jeff kid speaking in this video is so incredibly stupid. His face screams dumb-ass before he even opens his mouth. Even if this video was edited down (which I'm sure it was not), him supporting the Rick Michigan campaign says a lot. I'm just curious how he doesn't get hit by cars crossing the street.

Joe. Still waiting for your "damn hilarious and insightful" response.

[extremeright1]

Joe? Are you there? Why are you going after some well intentioned republican college student? Why so quiet? Just trying to get the "facts." I hear you are very "insightful" - please inform us.

[extremeright1]

Joe? Are you there? Lets come clean with the intentions. Why are you going after other republicans? Shouldnt Granholm be the target?

[maccorofmichigan]

I guarantee you that Joe Munem is NOT a lefty...I had dinner with Joe on Saturday nite. He's damn hilarious and insightful, but certainly not a lefty

[extremeright1]

So who does Joe Munem represent then? Joe? Are you there? Lets come clean with the intentions. Lets "check the facts." Why is he going after other republicans?

[KensingtonRush]

Good to see Snyder's (or as this kid says, Schnyder's) already making fiscally sound choices. Only hire the best to represent your campaign and message.

Maybe that's all the state and the party needs, more DRANK!

[MrGoodonya7mi]

Joe Munem a lefty? Hah. Check your facts. As for edits, the subject clearly makes comments that he is a paid stooge for Snyder. What about "I don't know much about him" is edited? The reading off a script in Mr. Timmington's response shows who is playing fast an loose with the facts--the Rick rollers of Michigan.

Also...I think if we ask nicely the Joes might be willing to post this interview in its entirety.

[sings4love]

Honestly you can tell that parts of it were cut.Hence the black out that says the same things multiple times all the way through it.I could care less what the kid said.He was up there helping and having a good time.I wish I had been able to go.Get off it!

[twoguysnamedjoe]

Watch Jeff Timmington's video response. His scripted response from the Rick Michigan campaign staff isn't quite as spontaneous as his honest answers to our questions on Saturday morning.

[Aendossi]

I saw that.. Snyder's goons probably paid a visit to his dorm and said "Da Boss said Read dis to da camera.."

Great video BTW.. enlightening..  I met someone last night who was talking about Snyder's paid "army" (600 I was told) He bought them ALL the weekend... Buy elections much Rick?

[setoutrunning23]

I like how he mispronounced Snyder.

[tompzandstra]

The whole video was taken out of context and edited to look much worse than what was really said. Another cheap political move by a desperate candidate to distract from the issues

[1945silverfox]

So this is apparently the type of grassroots support that Snyder bought his straw poll victory with. But to be honest, none of this is shocking. All I see from the "non-politician" Snyder is very political behavior.

[ilikerazzles1]

Ask yourself why two lefty political consultants would be following around college students at a Republican conference? Maybe you shouldnt its a little creepy. I suppose if you are a democrat whos governor has plain run out of ideas on how to turn this state around this is what you come up with.

[extremeright1]

Let me connect the dots on this video. You found a college student who was up there for free food and beer (shocking)? Clearly Snyder is not qualified to be governor. Give me a break! Lets stick to the issues. This election is too serious to entertain silly games like this one.
