Oooo... so smart. Position as the underdog in the face of the Republican money juggernaut. ('cause, basically, it's true)
They had me at the first question- why, it's almost like these guys are reading my mind! Scary place, isn't it?
Q: What’s at stake in this election?
A: The future of our state is at stake and the future of the nation is at stake. In Michigan, Governor Granholm has been working to beat back Republican efforts to impose their conservative agenda on Michigan’s citizens.
Love that sentence.
In fact, since 2003, Governor Granholm has vetoed 105 bills sent to her desk by the Republican Legislature.
Need specifics on this. Might have to smack some people over the head with them. I remember a few choice ones... but I need more links. Don't make me Google, dammit!
Without a Democrat in the Governor’s Office, our schools, our environment, our jobs and our families would all be at risk.
Without Granholm, this state would be wingnut heaven by now. Mondo tax cuts for the rich and a plastic Jesus on every street corner. I don't even want to think about it. They would probably have people like me breaking rocks up at the punk prison in Baldwin.
But the future of America is at risk, too. If Democrats want to elect a Democratic president in 2008, we need to keep Michigan blue. It’s clear that Republicans view this state as a key to another eight years in the White House.
No time to worry about America now. Let's save Michigan first, just like you said. Then we can put a big 'ol fence at the border if things go bad elsewhere. Maybe Canada will take us in.
Michigan has Republicans in control at every level including Attorney General, Secretary of State, both houses of the Legislature and at the Supreme Court.
And they probably were all funded by the DeVos clan and dance like puppets on strings whenever Betsy snaps her fingers.
Governor Granholm is our last line of defense.
I have no doubt about that.
