Since I am bashing politics and politicians in general
today, let me add some comments on Michigan politics.
In Michigan, the Democratic Party is controlled by the
United Auto Workers (UAW) union and as long as that continues, the Michigan
Democratic Party will not be seen as representing or giving a shit, about Michigan
voters; it’s all about the union.
It is well known that union power in Michigan stems from
their election of Democrats who do all their bidding once elected. The only reason
we are a Right-To-Work state is that Michigan voters had enough of union power
especially when last year, they pushed a proposal to make unionism a right in
our state constitution; they went too far and we elected Republicans.
The UAW wanted to fire long time MI Democratic Party leader
MARK BREWER; the union wanted somebody different and younger.
The UAW signed up thousands of union members into the
Democratic Party just last week, giving them the voting power to elect THEIR
choice for party chairman who was LON JOHNSON; Brewer quit and Johnson was
elected.
Since all Michigan Democrats appear to be UAW / union
stooges, we should be very careful about returning Democrats to political power
in Michigan.
Republicans in power means that abortion is their main
concern and that is just as bad as having the UAW run the state.
Again, Michigan voters are screwed no matter which political
party they vote in…maybe a strong LIBERTARIAN candidate will appear, although
I doubt it.
Right now I am just happy that we have a governor that is
Republican in name only and acts like an independent business savvy,
non-politician who MUST be re-elected next year if the state is to prosper.
