“Pub it up?” “A High School Party”

“A Real Political Party”
Outfit of Choice : The outfits varied. During the day, I was usually dressed to
the nines or in campaign clothes. When partying came (depending on the type of
party), I was in jeans and an average t.
Code Names : Too general to single anyone out– to be fair, the three groups I
was with was CMU’s College Republicans, MSU’s College Republicans, and
Grand Rapids Community College College Republicans.
Drink of Choice : Whatever a minor can get away with from an open bar.
Decided Party Spot : The bars located on main street on Mackinac Island.
This blog is a little different, obviously by my “list introduction”, it is obvious that
I wasn’t at CMU or Mt. Pleasant at all, instead, I was in Mackinac Island. A
certain Republican conference took place (it’s probably better I don’t give the
conference title), and all College Republicans went for free to help campaign for
different candidates running for office solely in the state of Michigan.
I’ve been a member of CMU’s College Republicans since last year. Not only do
we help out with local candidates, we get to meet some pretty “big wigs” of the
national Republican party. Last year, in February, I attended the annual
Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) where I met my current
boyfriend and really got to network a lot. College Republicans is a club of a great
group of kids. Yes, most of us are regular college partiers (without crossing the
line too far), but all of us are good students with good morals from great families.
Let’s just say that most of the bigger Republican events all is hard-work in
campaigning until the sun goes down. Let me tell you, r ich politicians know how
to throw a pretty damn good party and they definitely do treat the cr’s pretty
well– a free trip to mackinac including free fairy trips, free hotel rooms, free
food, and “the drank”.
We get to the island Friday. We were all exhausted, the ride was long, but we had
no time to rest– campaigning started on the island right away.
We were given a ton of
campaign t-shirts–I

Party at the Comfort Inn.
WATERFALL!
the Grand Hotel campaigning. Let me tell you, that place is incredibly overrated,
but some pretty cool events went on. At one of the debates, our particular group
was able to meet Bill Hardman, Mike Bishop, Bill Scheutte, Terri Lynn Land,
Rick Snyder, Mike Cox, and Mitt Romney.
Friday night, we were rewarded with open bars and free dinners. The X’s on the
minors hands were washed off and the free drinks showered upon us, but this got
old fast. The real parties are Saturday night so the cr’s all returned to their hotelsat St. Ignace. The majority of our group stayed at the Comfort Inn-
(I don’t recommend it by
the way– quite a few of us
woke up with bed bugs
Saturday morning, but
that’s not what this blog is
about…) and it was there
that we threw our own little
party.
It got out of hand fast.
Shots were downed within
the first half hour causing
short-term happy drunk
followed by a long-term
pukey drunk. We were all
engaged in serious
competitive drinkinggames including
“waterfall” and “short bus”
when the girls and I decide
to go outside and get some
air. We were taking
pictures when these twins
decided it would make a
cute picture if one jumps in her sister’s arms. In the process, her finger broke–
there was a lot of screaming. My boyfriend, Zack and I left shortly after that– it was too loud. We were far too afraid the cops would come.
Twins are down!
Saturday goes the same way– we were all sleepless, but we pushed through to
support the candidates again. It was the second day of straw poll– our last
morning of campaigning. We hit the bars around 11 am. I’m not kidding. Drunk politicians swarmed the island early.

Zack and me waiting for the carriage.
Also, Zack and I switched our hotel that day. As somewhat foreshadowed earlier,
we woke up with BED BUGS at the Comfort Inn– there was no way I was going
back. I woke at six am flicked the lights on and just counted them on Zack’s body
and sheets while I screamed for him to wake up. We weren’t the only ones. In
fact, I still plan on calling and cussing out a manager sometime this week.
So we switched the hotel to Sunset Condos– so cute and conveniently located on
the island, but while in the carriage r ide/cab ride to sunset condos we had anunforgettable experience. The cabs are horse and buggies on Mackinac Island–
there are no vehicles except for boats, bikes, and carriages. It’s for the colonial
spirit, I guess. Joining us in the carriage was a huge group of swingers (they
never told us, but it was pretty obvious), they were staying in the same hotel
condo “complex” as we were and they were all drunk out of their minds telling
Zack and I how adorable we are together as a young Republican couple and how
they’ve come from all over the country to meet up this weekend at Mackinac.
Also, they’re all wearing wigs and
yelling inappropriate, but hysterical
things such as “I’m fuckin’ forty with
three kids! Ya’ll are so young and
precious I miss those days!” They were
the craziest bunch of middle-aged
adults I’ve ever met. The one woman
sitting beside Zack was absolutely
adorable and hysterical. Typically a
woman of forty who looks like a hot
chick in her late twenties with three
kids is easily considered a MILF
(mother I’d like to fuck). She was by
far the most craziest/drunkest. At one
point she had her legs “spread eagle”
doing a plunging motion to and from her “vaginal region”. She kept touching at
Zack’s face talking about his eyes and his great hair and she especially fell in love
with his cartilage earr ing. She asked if she could kiss it and their drunken gang
all egged her on. I joined, because I was so amused by Zack’s level of discomfort
that I had to support this drunken MILF’s desires.
She pecks his ear. Everyone cheers. Other conversations erupt and the next
thing I know everyone is laughing and hollering– This woman had her tongue in
my boyfriend’s ear . I mean full out porn start tongue cycling motion in, out, and
around the lobe. Zack’s face was an expression of shock, humiliation, fear, and
humor. I was in tears laughing so hard.
Finally, the carriage ride ended. They invited us to their hotel for some “fun and
games” later– they all winked and kind of elbowed each other. Zack and I
decided not to put ourselves in that situation. We didn’t know what the hell we
would expect.

Our Hotel: Sunset Condos
2 CommentsFiled under Uncategorized
We went back to our room
alone. The room was
adorable so we spent a few
hours there before we went
back to the tourist part of
the island where all the
big-party-open-bars and
dinners were taking place.
Plus, Zack had this
gut-eating “urge” to scrub
his ear out. I don’t blame
him.
When we did return we went out to eat and witnessed some of the drunkest, most
ridiculous political discussions and pathetic sleeze-ball dancing of our lives. Beer
and foo-foo drinks and you name it were all clutched in the hands of the
under-aged cr’s– however, they were all incredibly careful about not gettingkicked out or noticed for under-aged drinking to avoid getting the candidate who
had been throwing the party into any sort of career-jeopardizing trouble. There
were no MIP’s given out or DUI’s. Thank God Mackinac island cops are on foot
and bicycles and that no cars are allowed on the island.
I can’t wait for CPAC.
