This whole thing with the AWB, and now the state proposed AWB has forced me to look into who my representitives are. At the state level I have Beida and Olshove, and of course and the Governor is Jennifer Granholm. At the Federal level I have Sander Levin, Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin. Even the mayor in my city is a Demonrat. Bush is the my only elected official who is not a flaming leftist. Am I the only conservative left in Macomb County? |
I feel your pain! |
Naw, I wasn't the downstaters. It was all the union people from Eagle Pitcher, Dura, and the rest of the welfare folks. I lived in the subdivision behind the strip mall/ grocery store on the NW corner of 131 & 72 until 2001, when I moved to the armpit of the state for a job... Ypsilanti / A2. Where abouts are you?

Nope, the wife and I (and most of our families except the stupid ones, every family's gone one  ) are all conservatives and we all live in Macomb. We need to get involved politically.A guy at our local Kroger hit us up for a petition - usually I blow them off because their either liberals or idiots or both, but this guy was a die hard conservative trying to get on the ballot for Representative (IIRC)! I can't remember his name -- he ran out of cards to give out-- but we signed on. I didn't lead him on at all and he was telling me what I wanted to hear -- pro gun, Republican, pro punishment of criminals... you name it. He wanted to get a conservative voice in the MI government. I just can't remember the guy's name. If anyone knows of him, he was at the Kroger at Harper and 13 (I think it's 13, anyway) a few months ago. Nice guy, I'd love to see him elected. |

I spoke too soon. There are *alot* of Kerry signs -- even in Lapeer county. Probably a 50/50 split on Kerry/Bush signs (which is alarming considering how few Gore signs there were last election). Michigan is not looking good for Bush... On a positive note, Bush appears to be staying even with Kerry nationally. I believe he was down 10% in the polls this time last election. |

Honestly, while I've seen a lot of Kerry signs, I'm seeing more Bush signs than I thought I would... Around the Warren/SH/Fraser/Roseville area. I do, however, need to stop staring at people on 696 with Kerry stickers on their cars. It's like a huge "I'm an idiot" sign, and I have to look and shake my head disapprovingly... |
+1 I see a lot of them going north on 75 after work out of the downtown area... |
