| The statement released by the Michigan Republican Party on the news of Carl Levin's retirement puts the k in klassy. “Michigan families are frustrated due to the lack of leadership and failed policies put forth by the U.S. Senate perhaps the most egregious example is the failure by the Democratic-led Senate to pass a budget for nearly four years. The status-quo is not acceptable and Republicans will offer bold and aggressive leadership that will restore common sense principles to Washington. “Michigan Republicans have a lot of strong potential candidates and we are more than ready to have a real conversation with Michigan families why Republican leadership is necessary to fix Washington. Republicans understand the importance of a budget and using common sense conservative principles that put Michigan families and workers first.” That's the entirety of it. Carl Levin has been a sitting U.S. Senator for more than 30 years and has served without even the slightest whiff of personal or professional scandal. He's served both the nation and the state of Michigan with honor and integrity, and the Republican Party meets his pending retirement with tired partisan talking points. Way to be, fellas. Way to be. |
