I am from Michigan and feel I owe the nation an apology for my state. We've given you Bart Stupak, John Dingell, Debbie Stabenow and even our Governor, Jennifer Granholm has been advising Obama. A klatch of more despicable legislator would be hard to match. The only saving grace I can offer is that we, in West Michigan, respect life, liberty, pursuit of happiness and small government. We might want to look at ourselves as a separate state. My apology for our representatives.
