These idiots (Granholm) think the great depression were ‘glory days’ and keep trying to re-live them!

She needs to be deported back to Canada!

Hoekstra is nationaly known. How he could be unknown in Michigan is beyond me.

[cripplecreek]

Gotta figure. Mark Schauer broke the law to get his seat and paid the record breaking fine over it.

Only in politics can you break the law to get a seat, get caught and get to keep the seat.

“How this woman, who would be more at home in NYC or SF, get elected twice as governor of Michigan?”

Michigan has a huge Union population. Or it used to.. Good old Gennifer has been trying desperately to sweep business from the state for years. But they’ve been taught to be die-hard dems and they don’t even know why.

Great idea, but the temp has dropped back into the 30’s or 40’s today. The rest of us will more than make up for the 37 people who will actually follow her lead.

“Governor Hoekstra” has an AWESOME ring to it. I live on the east side of the state, but I know of Hoekstra because my girl is a west-sider. Hoekstra is exactly what Michigan needs.

[kjo]

Believe me...I get to the east side of the state a lot, nobody there has heard of him.

All the dem nominee (probably Dillon) has to do is promise more “free” welfare spending and butt-kiss the unions.

Too late Atlas has shrugged and all the tax productive people have left or are leaving.

Hey Granholm. you are a couple of weeks late. Michigan Catholics use Friday’s during the Lenten season as their “Meatout Day.”

[Mich Patriot]

I’d say your statement is over 90% correct, but that is going to change soon. Can’t wait to get rid of Granwhore.

[driftless2]

In a sane world, Michigan legislators would now be holding an emergency session to see if they could boot Granholm out of office for reasons of insanity. Michigan doesn’t live in the real world anymore. Coming to a state near you.

And the sales of chicken backs and pig ears plummeted.

Douche bag alert.

She was born in Canada. Send her back there!

Schauer admits breaking the law, hit with RECORD penalty!

The campaign fund of former Democratic state Sen. Mark Schauer of Battle Creek is paying the state $208,250 for improperly donating money to help elect Democrats to the Senate in 2006.

Schauer chaired the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee and oversaw the Senate Democratic Fund, for which his bombastic chief of staff, Ken Brock, took over as treasurer.

The fund raked in $440,000 above the legal limit of $20,000 per person - which the Dems don't deny. Twelve senatorial candidate committees did, with Schauer's as the worst offender at $187,000.

The moolah was instantly pumped into the campaigns of four key candidates, three of whom were trounced anyway.

ey, Michigan, you picked her!

I most certainly did NOT! No more than YOU voted for Obama.

[madison10]

Once this side of the state finds out he voted against the auto industry he might as well give it up, even Republican auto-types won’t vote for him. They’re ticked.

[tobyhill]

LOL. I know not everyone in Michigan voted for this idiot.

[cripplecreek]

I’m going to walk around with my pants unzipped today.

Does that count as meatout?

[Paladin2]

Governatrix day, week, month out.
