"This guy is completely out of touch with the average Michigan family," said Rogers, a Brighton Republican.
Rogers also said that Obama's energy policy proposals would increase taxes on coal & natural gas, and "lead to higher gasoline prices."
Oh, really?
Let's quickly review just how "in touch" Mr. Rogers is with the average Michigan family:
He voted against health care for children of working families
He voted against extending unemployment benefits for families who are weathering Michigan's painful jobless rate.
He has an "energy indpendence bill" with perks for the oil, coal and gas industries, a goofy cartoon on his website, and zippo for controlling skyrocketing gas prices...
... oh, and he's voted against outlawing gasoline price gouging.
Got kids going to college, or in college already? Not only did Mr. Rogers restrict their voting rights, but he also voted against increasing Pell grants, reducing interest rates on Stafford loans and other programs to help middle class families afford a college education.
So the next time you hear Mr. Rogers --
or, more likely, read something his spokeswriter Sylvia Warner has typed up --
be sure to ask exactly what it is that he's been doing to support the average Michigan family.
