Well…with the colonoscopy rapidly approaching Monday, and the prep that is going to put me out of commission both Sunday and Monday, I thought I’d talk about some local Michigan election issues before that…to start, get the hell out to vote Tuesday if you haven’t already….that’s the start and I don’t care if you vote for dems (okay, yeah I do) or for the cheaters on the other side, just take an hour out of your busy day and vote. Let’s start with the race for governor here in Michigan where we have Gretchen Whitmer, the dem, up against the waste of space Bill Schuette, the repub….now, if you remember a few years back when the repubs were trying to insert themselves into every woman’s health care decisions by restricting abortion care…again…and Gretchen got thrown out of the state senate by the repubs who control it for saying “vagina” on the floor of the senate…that should be enough to vote for a feisty woman who cares about fairness and truth in government…but, there are so many other reasons to vote for her that I won’t list them here but will just say that she is a true progressive who will take this state forward, not back to the 1800′s like Schuette wants and has tried to do as AG. Now, let’s remember the millions of your tax dollars that Schuette spent to try to keep our LGBT friends from getting the equality they have a right to…that they are guaranteed in the constitution…but to Schuette and his troglodyte cronies, they are less than second class citizens who need to be hated and attacked. Only one other thing you need to know about Schuette, other than he’s a trump loving right wing asshole…and that is he didn’t care when Snyder and his incompetents were poisoning the people of Flint to try to save a little money….resisting all calls for an investigation into the decisions when it is the AG’s responsibility to protect the citizens of this state from malfeasance of the government….so, it’s a pretty clear choice of who would be better for you and I and this state…vote for Gretchen and let’s put the dark days of repub control behind us…for good…
