It’s getting close…

Well…just looking at the new polls that are out and there is good, and not as good news here in Michigan…I think these are the last polls before the election and I kinda happy about that….first the good news…even the Detroit News, that right wing rag has endorsed the dem Gary Peters for senate…I think this one is more of a reality check since Peters is up on Land by 15 points, but they did admit to the shortcomings of Land and recognized that she is nowhere near ready to represent Michigan in the US senate…the kinda okay news is that Mark Schauer has pulled even with ole Snyder but I’ll believe that when I see it Tuesday….but, with how we outnumber the crazies here, if we vote we win…I’m going to keep saying that for the next few days…if we vote, we win…it is really simple but we need to get out there and do it…at my polling place here it has never taken me more than 15 minutes for the entire process so there is no excuse…we can take back our state if we just vote…so let’s do it….

I don’t underestand some things…

Well….there is good news here in Michigan in the senate race with Gary Peters pulling out to a 10% plus lead in the latest polls and that I can understand…Land is the most stupid, incompetent candidate I have ever seen with no ability to think past the talking points that she tries to regurgitate and even gets those wrong…but, what I don’t understand is how ole Snyder is up on Schauer in the governor’s race…after all, Snyder gave the middle class a kick in the gut with right to work, taxed retirees and gave the money to CEO’s, and has lied through his teeth about the crony capitalism he has been practicing since he lied his way into office…now, I may be unusual in that I follow politics and pride myself in knowing what is going on, but people, how can you vote against yourself and keep giving this country to the rich? I just shake my head every day…geez…

Michigan political update…

Well….have been looking at some of the good news here in Michigan on the political front, and thought I’d so a short update on what’s going on. First, though, today is the last day to register to vote to be eligible for November’s election so get out and register if you haven’t already…and then vote…because if we vote, we win…it’s as simple as that especially here in Michigan where Obama carried the state by 10 points. The update has a little good news in it and a little not so good news….first, the good news. It looks like Gary Peters is going to defeat the invisible Terri Land if the polls hold that are showing him up by 8-10 points…it should be more given that she hasn’t talked to anyone during the entire campaign…depending on Koch money to air 6 million dollars of ads that are mostly blatant lies or fabrications hoping that people are too stupid to see the truth….it looks like the Kochs are becoming toxic to the people they are trying to install in their government. The bit of bad news is that Mark Schauer is trailing ole Snyder in the governor’s race and I just don’t know why….are people losing their memories? Don’t they remember that Snyder and his cronies are responsible for the biggest tax increase on seniors in the states history? And, that they gave that money away with no strings attached to the supposed “job creators” who have not created one job but have raised CEO’s salaries by 50%…wouldn’t the workers here like that kind of sweet deal? Don’t count on it….Snyder doesn’t give a damn about workers…and you can see that from his approval of right to work which is just code for killing unions and the middle class jobs they provide.  So, good news and bad that can be turned into good if we just vote…that’s all….geez…
