No need to apologise. You’re entitled to your views, as much as the next person. I’m not a Republican anyway.

Personally, I don’t like seeing people with business or union interests directly involved in politics. The problems posed by conflict of interest are obvious. When you take a purely economic decision (which he apparently did), it is bizarre to expect the population to vote for you. At the end of the end day, his decision was paid for in political capital. The beauty of democracy!

By the way, with reference to China, they hold nearly the whole of the US debt. I seriously think the US needs to address their balance of payments, and whose hands you’re swiftly falling into.

Best wishes,

I’m shocked. You do know about world trade? It’s not the job of government to micro-manage lives and get involved in the market. When they do, things go bad …

Politicians do not ship jobs overseas; it’s because some people around the world demand less wages than Michigan workers. How many states have voted to raise the minimum wage? Quite a few, and rightly so. However, those people have just made themselves more expensive in the marketplace. It’s stretching things to blame the Republicans!

Best wishes,

Here in Michigan, we let it be known that we do not support a man that was a main contributor to the Bush administration, a man that supports the cutting of public education, and a man that has shipped nearly 1,500 precious Michigan jobs overseas. Granholm on the other hand has a very aggressive economic plan which includes access to affordable health care and a high-quality education. As far as “Do-nothing Debbie” her MORE JOBS bill gave a tax relief to manufacturers to create American jobs, she led the fight to keep prescription drug costs down for our soldiers and veterans, and has negotiated to stop the flow of Canadian solid waste into Michigan.

I have to admit that I slept soundly last night. I do not believe that I had slept that good since the Clinton administration.

I meant Kilroy, not Connolly. Sleep deprivation … zzz zzz

Best wishes,

On the other major issue (Prop 2), the state’s voters decided by a wide margin that it was time to end racial preferences in college admissions and government hiring. Going forward, a man or woman will be judged solely on their skills, the content of their character, and not on the color of their skin.

Best wishes,

Mark

PS. I’m personally glad Pryce won. Connolly did not come across at all well and, despite the anti-Republican vote in Ohio, the voters obviously couldn’t stomach the alternative. Sorry Eric!!!
