It is perhaps difficult to argue that Jennifer Granholm has been a successful governor of Michigan. Here at Furriners, we rely on statistics and provable facts... which, as our banner says, is why we are not Republicans. (FUN FACTS: Derek Anderson threw 29 touchdown passes in 2007. Troy Aikman had a career high of 23.) And the stats aren't necessarily in Granholm's favor.
Well, in November, Michigan will be electing a new governor (Granholm can not run again due to term-limits). It seems as though all polls suggest the Republicans have an outstanding shot at winning. But wait... it gets worse!
The leading candidates:
Pete Hoekstra - current U.S. Congressman. He is a pathetic liar. I know these may be "partisan" sources... but at least check out this link and/or this video.
Mike Cox - Michigan Attorney General. Total fraud.
Cox was on The Dylan Ratigan Show this week to talk about his legal filing in support of Arizona's profiling, er, illegal immigration law. Ratigan quoted a Gov. Granholm spokesperson saying:
"Governor Granholm disagrees with the Arizona law... Attorney General Cox's lawsuit is a patently political ploy in his quest to earn the Republican nomination for governor."
Ratigan actually asked him if that was true?!?!
Great question! Maybe he could ask Melania Knauss if she married Donald Trump for money or not?
Anyway, it should be obvious to everyone that the answer is yes (to both). Even FoxNews is reporting that it's a political stunt.
The other thing that really ticked me off was Cox arguing that the federal lawsuit against the Arizona law was a waste of taxpayer dollars. Well, what the heck is it when an AG from Michigan files to support an Arizona law? That is not a waste of taxpayer money? Moreover, I would argue it is a waste of taxpayer money when the lawsuit is a political ploy that has no chance of success. That certainly describes the lawsuit that Mike Cox supports to fight the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
The other leading candidate is an Ann Arbor businessman named Rick Snyder. As of now, I know very little about him. Several months ago, he was running television ads in which he didn't even indicate his party affiliation. That gives this liberal blogger hope that he is a reasonable guy (i.e. a pragmatic moderate) and, if the Democrats are destined to lose, he is currently my favorite Republican candidate (by default).
By the way, if Melania Knauss googles herself (or whatever) and finds this: if you get tired of being married to an asshole billionaire, feel free to contact me. I have an apartment in Ann Arbor, a Ford Focus, and a NFL Sunday Ticket package where we can watch all the Arizona Cardinals games! I'm just saying... think about it.
