Santorum: I'll cut $5 Trillion in 5 years

Ron Paul eats crayons dipped in sugar.

Ron Paul is the only republican campaigning in the city of Detroit today-not at the Detroit Economic club in safe downtown, but at the Historic Little Rock Baptist Church, a pretty much all black church in the hood.

Although our governor endorsed Romney, part of the reason Snyder is governor today is because he was the first republican who went down and campaigned in the hood in at least 20 years. It's not a bad primary strategy, at least in Michigan, as long as the candidate realizes that in the fall, all those voters are going back to Obama, although that wasn't the case in Snyder's general election because he got a lot of young people of all races to vote for him instead of the democrat running.

Detroit? Does anybody still live there?

Detroit? Does anybody still live there?

Yeah. Only one problem -- they're all dead.

Well, let me 'splain it this way. The crack houses in Highland Park and down close to Ford Field and the newer ballpark (forget the name offhand) are all dead. Miles and miles and miles of burned out, trashed, disease and filth-ridden wrecks.

Sigh. I was born there but I try not to say that too loudly.

It's not that horrible. My dad and I spent a couple hours driving through the city last time we met up. He grew up in downtown Detroit. Sure there are the parts of town I'd have felt a lot more comfortable packing a gun, but a lot of it wasn't bad.

I'd drive through anywhere in Detroit before I took a tour through East St. Louis any day of the week.

That is probably much more safe as there are less people there.
