Stupid, Corrupt, Racist and now "Dangerous Incompetent: The Michigan Republican Party I have to admit I have no love for The Michigan Republican party or their supporters for many reasons like other Democrats and other liberals have, but my issue with the Michigan Republican Party runs a tad bit deep. The Michigan Republicans rally their base by using anti Detroit sentiment to rally the bigots in the northern and western suburbs of the state to vote, that to me is a slap to me and other Detroiters that tells me the only way the Michigan Republicans can win is by pandering to a group of people that's only motivated by if you can hurt Detroit. Another reason the Michigan Republicans get no love from me is boiled down to two words John Engler this was a man in his 12 years in power manage to strip Michigan while pocketing millions from special interest and the Michigan Republicans in the state house didn't lift a finger to stop him but allow the bleeding of the state and in 2002 when we manage to get a Democratic governor that's the issues of job lose, growing state debt and the ever weaken state economy started popping in the minds of Michigan Republicans and their zombie like supporters. And when the governor tried to address the problems in the state the Michigan Republicans on call by the Republican challenger to Jennifer Granholm Dick DeVos told them to block, dragged their feet on policies that hamper Governor Granholm ability to do her job. The Michigan Republicans have no interest in the state much like their national counterparts they're about greed, money and more money for themselves take for example the Republicans put the ax to the small business tax which is going to leave the state in another billion dollar hole with nothing to replace it. Dick DeVos has no interest getting Michigan on its feet the man who trying to build his campaign on job creation is the main person who send Michigan jobs overseas when he sat on his daddy knee at Amway and sending fat donor checks to the likes of George W. Bush who thinks outsourcing is a good thing. Dick DeVos is not a moderate Republican, or a "Compassionate" conservative he's a corporate right wing Republican who has various ties to anti women rights, anti public education, extreme fundmentlaist Christian right wing groups and foundations. And to Dangerous incompetent yesterday the Michigan Republicans and the very lame Mike Bouchard launch their campaign against Debbie Stabenow and they're basing everything on well Stabenow hasn't done anything in her six years this where the stupid part also comes into play excuse me Mike Bouchard and Michigan Republicans who's been in the majority for that six years? Come on Mike Bouchard I know you know this, oh you really don't know let me give you a hint pasty white, no brains to think for themselves they got Rs after their names like you do.. Damn you still can't figure it out Bouchard it's the damn Republican party how can a Democratic senator get anything passed or done with a Republican majority unless going along with them or shifting the bill in a way that the Republicans can support it. And ps Bouchard don't expect a replay of the underdog upsetting old Spence Abraham this time around you have no support worth speaking of in Detroit. The votes you got is the votes you're going to get and maybe few from the other loser Keith Bulter.
