It was probably a longshot that Pete Hoekstra would defeat Debbie Stabenow this year for the Michigan Senate seat--Stabenow is the incumbent, thanks to Obama's auto bailout and a little buyer's remorse over the 2010 elections Democrat and Independent turnout is likely to be higher, and Stabenow has never been quite the lightining rod for hate that Gov. Granholm was (just quietly goes about her business and gets the job done).
Still, between the racist ad he ran on Super Bowl Sunday and his recent appeal to the birthers....
For a member of a party that advocates less government and less spending...doesn't it seem a bit odd that he'd like to set up a commission to verify the birth records of the Presidential nominees? I mean, couldn't we just take the word of the state's birth records department and FUCKING FACE REALITY?
Just wondering.

A cold, cold heart
From Michigan republican Senate hopeful Clark Durant:
"In regards to the Occupy Wall Street movement, Durant said the protesters should 'go find a job.' In regards to the wealth gap the movement decries, Durant said, 'I think it should be wider.'"
While I think the radical legislation struck by Gov. Snyder and the state gop have improved Senator Stabenow's re-election odds immeasurably (and President Obama's chances here in Michigan as well) by firing up unions and the Democratic base (note that Karl Rove--don't like him, but no political dummy--isn't spending money here, at least yet), it doesn't hurt when republicans like Durant (don't think the republicans here in Michigan are nutty enough to elect him) say things that really serve to underscore the differences between the parties.
People like me and you just don't matter to republicans--they wouldn't pee on you if you were on fire unless they were taking your last nickel as payment.
Peace,
