Thread: Who will you vote for in the 2010 governor election?
Started 3 months, 4 weeks ago by Dexterguy
I know it's still a 11 months away, but Michigan is obviously is bad economic and fiscal conditions as everyone can see. So this upcoming election could be one of the most important we have had in years. Now obviously, one person hasn't made the financial and economic mess that Michigan is in right now, and you really can't blame one single person as I have heard many doing with our former ...

i agree,where's the independent candidate,the libertarian,green party?with the OP's choices,may as well not have any at all,and the voting ...
No idea who I'm going to vote for. The economy's going to be the big issue for many folks, but to me, I'm not sure whoever the next governor is is going to make much difference nor how much the economy issue is going to play a role in my decision.
When the Big Three starts turning around, so will Michigan's economy (and based on their latest financial reports with Ford posting a profit and ...
The first thing we have to do is clean house in the Michigan Legislature and vote in a part time legislature, That, in and of itself will save a ton of tax dollars. Next, is to vote in a governor who represents the people of Michigan - someone who is focused on fiscal responsibility ( a balanced budget) and attracting businesses and jobs to Michigan. This leaves out the Democrats and ...
We have to back off a few DEQ/EPA rules and let business build things. We need heavy industry. The fact is you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet. We are now a service industry nation. Soon, few will be able to pay for the service. We also will stop buying as much from China. Then they will not buy our debt. The cash flow will stop.
Stop sounding like Don Quixote. Those "...

Quote: Originally Posted by tjay one other thing, where's a candidate who agrees to not take money from any special interest groups or lobbyists? where's the candidates who are willing to pass laws making this illegal? let's start separating people who want to work for US and people who want to work to make themselves richer. what would be left if we took all that fluff away? LOL That was an Obama promise. To bad it was a lie.

Not sure about the rest. Guess I best start reading up on him. I have a strong...
is now called a Libertarian. This two party system will morf into whatever you want them to be. That's how you get the Swarzeneggers and GW Bush and all the other skin shredders. If you look at the Democratic and Republican national conventions both had UBS as a major contributor to the 100 million conventions - UBS under federal investigation by several agencies. Point is the future Governor of this great state needs to be devoid of the...

Someone just pointed out on another thread that Mike Cox was originally supporting the cover-up of Kwame Kilpatrick, by the way. Is that who you want running the state?
