Sputter...cough...sputter, this from Channel 8? Wow.
LANSING, Mich. Republican gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos today criticized Governor Granholm for being long on rhetoric and short on specifics.
But he declined to say what he would do to improve the economy or where he stood on embryonic stem cell research or raising the minimum wage.
DeVos, who opposes abortion, said during the taping of public T-V's Off the Record program that he supports research done with adult stem cells.
But he says he needs more time to consider whether he backs research done with embryonic stem cells, something the Catholic church opposes.
Dick is a major contributor to "Right to Life" campaigns- I'll let you decide what that means for "embryonic" stem cell research. Unless he wants to jettison everything he has stood for before...
And, um...Dick? You've been "running" for almost seven months now. Did you have *any* ideas? On anything? At all? Ever?
He "needs more time" to draft his economic plan. He "needs more time" to think about stem cells. But when it comes to criticizing Granholm's plans, his statement goes something like this-
"...while speaking is important, it's really action that really counts. If ever there was a time for action in Michigan, that time is now."
But his own plans can "need more time". OK. I see how this works. Already Dick is holding himself to a different standard. Kind of like with the tax return release. IOIYAR.
