Seriously, prior to the Christmas Day terrorist attempt, do you think Pete Hoekstra could find Yemen on a map?
I don’t.
Here’s some hot-air grandstanding from Pete re: his recent trip. To insinuate that Obama is releasing hard-core terrorists from Gitmo is such fear-mongering crap…but what do you expect from a guy who DIDN’T EVEN THINK TO REGISTER HIS OWN .com NAME?!
[...] on Hoekstra’s criticism of the president’s plans to transfer Guantanamo detainees, the site’s authors write: “To insinuate that Obama is releasing hard-core terrorists from Gitmo is such fear-mongering [...]
I first noticed Heokstra at his “press conference” with Santorum claiming they found wmd in Iraq! My first thought even then was how did such nitwits get into elective office. He has had various instances of buffonery since then- too many to catalogue here. If this guy has been on the security commitee for 10 years, then he must be one of those we have to blame for the holes in our security apparatus, right?
LOL (really). Great job!
Guys,
thanks for having the courage to pull this off.
I would like to donate or otherwise get involved with PATRIOTS (lol) such as yourselves.
best,
JK
Hilarious!
Please safeguard this priceless asset!
I love this. Very well done!
This made my day. Fearmongering/hate talk needs to stop!
What a great site! Thanks so much for this, you’ve made my day! The last thing we here in Michigan need is a fear-mongering corporatist to become governor. Keep up the good work!
I have to wonder how much Pete feels I should contribute to his campaign for each GI killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Peter Hoax-stra. Hopefully, the fine people of Michigan will not fall for this blight on the political landscape.
It should also be noted that the leaders of Al Qaeda in Yemen who were in Guantanamo Bay were released in 2007 by President Bush. I guess the Republicans aren’t as tough on terror as they claim. Or maybe, both parties are doing the best they can and nothing is foolproof.
Fantastic job.
Keep up the good work. Hopefully Michigan voters will turf this nut out of office.
Two prisoners at Guantanamo released by President Bush’s administration have been recaptured in Pakistan and I think Iraq.
Hmm no comment from faux news about this, or from hoaxstra?? Imagine that.
Nice work on the website.
NICE JOB!
……………. very nice!
Kudos to you guys. This is awesome…
Wonderful site! Keep it up.
I live in Michigan and if the tea-bagger thinks he going to be the Gov. it’s not going to happen My goal is to go to all of the colleges and get the same votes that elected Pres. Obama . My many years as a coach and the kids that are in College will aide in my goal.
PLEASE SUPPORT THE DEM THAT RUNS FOR OFFICE IN MICHIGAN…
STOP THE TEA-BAGGERS!!!
Thanks for helping to expose this nut job. I think he needs to get off of goventment welfare (fed or state paycheck), put on his klompen shoes and cut some celery in the muck fields. Short of that, with his wealth and wealth of intelligence he’s qualified to help Blackwater types clean the crappers in Afghanistan and let real military types do their job.
This site claims it is not affiliated with either party, yet both the Huffington Post and Daily Kos are following it closely, so clearly it must have liberal/socialist leanings. Furthermore, I was looking for specific examples of why Hoekstra should not be governor, and I have found nothing more than liberal party rhetoric. Disappointing.
Peatie is a WMD to our district! Want to know the REAL Peatie? You think
his recent behavior is a Dog and Pony show go talk to some of the employees at Herman Miller that were there when he was Marketing Dir. This guy spent 99% of his time on the Hersey Highway! The ultimate butt
smooching self promoter.He was a disgrace to the HMI corp. philosopy of ethics. Maybe Max DePree could go off the record and chime in here – ha
Joke on the Water – yep that our Peatie
Your site is a piece of crap bullshit.
Karla, yours are the kind of comments I reference in my post here. Specifically, I said: “People often hide behind anonymity in ‘Cyberspace’ and take it to a very low, crass, disrespectful level. I don’t like that.”
I am a registered Independent and lean Libertarian in many aspects of politics. We are absolutely not associated with the Democratic Party.
If the Tea-Baggers are going to become a serious force in politics, they’re going to have to do something about their nickname!
Yes, we have concerns about numerous inconsistencies and hypocrisy we’ve seen as well.
If you’re serious about a donation, please send any donations to the Boys & Girls Club of Holland.
Pete lost any chance of getting my vote after bowing to the leftist-Democrats, and voting for the SPENDulus plan, after telling me THE PREVIOUS day, he WOULD NOT. Backsliding Liar, and typical politician. Constitution party for me, folks. Check it out!

Does anyone know if Hoekstra gave back the contribution his MILEAD PAC received from David Safavian? Maybe he thinks since it was only $400 nobody would care, but I bet he’d make a big deal out of it if Snyder, Cox, or Bouchard took a contribution from a player in the Abramhoff scandal…..
I wonder if he is going to use those WMDS he found over in Iraq..Lol!
I love this site! Keep telling the truth about this clown, and Michigan will become the great viable state once again without partisan hacks such as the Pete Hoekstra’s of the world.
It just boggles the mind and defies logic to think that there are people that try and defend this guys actions. EVEN Republicans want him out of Washington. He has embarassed our Country long enough. If I come in contact with anyone who expresses the slightest interest in voting for this guy for Govenor of our fine State I will just walk away…as fast as I can.
Good show.
Thanks for the great site.
His service on the Intelligence Committee is about as ironic as Imhofe serving on Environment and Public Works.
If Hoekstra is the Republican head of the Intelligence Commitee in Washington DC…who is representing us here in our district? The fact that he has another job explains a lot of what’s going on around this neck of the woods.
Funny part is that the Republican party was formed to FREE the slaves (which the Democrats opposed). Martin Luther King was a Republican. And now they have their own ‘Coffee Party” full of children of the rich and people (of all colors) are ready to fall at their feet. By the way, do you know the difference between the Republican and Democrat parties? Republicans are rich, greedy company owners who never worked a day in their lives and Democrats are the children of the rich greedy company owners that are still rebelling against their rich, greedy Republican parents. And until Mommy and Daddy stop taking care of them, they will continue to do so. The worse part about it is, the hard working Americans are the ones stuck in the middle because somebody has to work so the money can keep rolling in. Oh, that’s right, Clinton (another poor little rich boy) sent all the good jobs overseas when he signed NAFTA so all the rich, greedy, company owners could pay kids 50 cents a day in sweat shops. (It’s legal over there.)
Republicans want want failure, they want things like the insurance companies to continue to rake in billions and to keep the unwealthy at a disadvantage. The infrastructures portion was what we needed to get us going in advancing our country to come into the present but the old conservatives who want to go back to the “simpler times” (ie. slavery, and racial discrimination via lower education). Our country and everyday people need help due to bad financial policy and they are just not getting it. Who is getting it? Big business. God bless America.
