Michigan primary election will be held August 3rd and so the attack political ads have been relentless; you cannot hide from them and the “robo-calls”?
Michigan has some serious economic issues that need to be addressed and you would think that candidates for office would concentrate on those issues but NO, they have to play the abortion card and it is just infuriating.
I really don’t care if you are for abortion or against abortion; I just don’t want people telling me what I may or may not do with MY life and MY family’s life. I am fiercely PRO-CHOICE because I believe in EVERONE’S FREEDOM TO CHOOSE and since it is the law of the land, I resent people tampering with the law of the land; go suck a lemon!
Anyway, we are so bloody divided on the “choice” issue and the issue is SO EMOTIONAL to so many people, it can and is being used by politicians to garner votes and/or to attack their opponents using this issue and NOT bread and butter issues like JOBS and the ECONOMY and what are we going to do about them.
On the Democratic side Bernero, who is pro-choice, is attacking Dillon who claims he is anti-choice. Bernero’s ads tout this difference and ads that Dillon even voted against allowing abortions in cases of rape or incest which usually means you are doubly stupid preferring to save unwanted fetuses over the wishes of the people that have been raped.
BUT my point is not to argue about something that is the law of the land (legal) but about the use of this issue to sway voters and sway it will which is a crying shame.
I will not be voting for Bernero even though he is pro-choice for a number of reasons but one of them is because he is using the abortion issue and Dillon is not. Bernero is also a union lackey which is the last thing this state needs and he appears anti-business since he is also attacking Dillon because he was once a businessman?
Dillon on the other hand, appears to be an independent thinker, neither Democrat nor Republican; someone who will do what is needed and not follow some lame party ideology.
On the Republican side, COX is touting that he is PRO-LIFE (Anti-Choice) so he is a Republican type of Bernero BUT he would never get my vote because he is one of those holier than thou conservative Republicans that is a TOTAL HYPOCRITE like many of them. Cox cheated on his wife (family values) and only confessed when some one found out about it. He portrays himself as a tough Marine and a tough prosecutor but I bet when Yatooma finally gets to the bottom of the Tamara Greene murder / Manoogian Mansion party / Kilpatrick fiasco, Cox will somehow be implicated.
So this primary election I know for sure who I will NOT be voting for and that is Bernero or Cox, depending on what party I pick to vote in.
