Michigan median income down 12% in past 5 years--devastating.

[European Socialist]

That's from the census bureau, adjusted for inflation. How could a voter even consider a Repuke in MI?

1. Unfortunately, Granholm is going to be the target of blame

I can't imagine any incumbent winning reelection with a statistic like that, incumbent's fault or not.

4. yep, Mission Accomplished

2. If you don't elect a Republican the terrorists win

I'm pretty sure that's the party's platform. Fear sells.

3. Voters In This Country Are MORONS.

There is no shortage of MORONS willing to vote repub each and every election.

A good 25-40% of the people in this country are MORONS, so there is no escape.

5. Link please!

I need this to help explain my drop in sales!

9. It's in the Detroit Free Press Online. I'd link it if I knew how.

6. I heard some this morning on the radio...

and they are so angry about the outcomes of previous elections that they are saying that they may not vote for either candidate, and they usually vote democratic.

7. There are a few things a lot of people overlook:

one of them is that a large number of Canadian residents commute daily to work in Detroit, even though there are U.S. citizens who are willing to take the jobs they are filling.

8. So? What's wrong with hiring Canadians?

They pay US taxes on earnings just like everyone else.

[spindrifter]

10. Nothing--so long as we are not displacing

our own workers. What sense does it make for us to collect taxes from foreign workers and then use the money to pay social benefits to unemployed resident workers? The jobs I am talking about are skilled and professional level jobs.

[butterfly77]

11. Because they are takin a job that I should be able to get...

[Greyhound]

12. What's wrong is that supposedly an amerikan company can't hire

a foreign national unless they cannot hire a qualified amerikan. Canada has the same law.
