Governor Bernero or Governor Snyder?
Neither choice sounds very appealing, does it? {Continued below the fold.}
Well, the dust has finally settled, and the prospects are narrowing.
In November, will Cat-5 Hurricane Jenny's replacement be Gov. Bernero? Hot-headed, career politician from Lansing <strike>Pontiac</strike>. Supporter of "adequate" government funding here in Michigan (I wonder where that money will come from). Proponent of Obamacare. Or, Gov. Snyder? Wishy-washy, debate avoiding, questionnaire squelching, self-proclaimed "nerd" (nerd king) who will use his business acumen gleaned from running Gateway into the ground and his philanthropic endeavors around A^2 to "fix" Michigan. Even with the smiling faces and numerous glad-handing photo-ops, some people have left today's "unity" lunch in Lansing, still unable to remove the taste of bile from their mouths. "These are our only choices," you may ask yourself? Are they? As I have noted in earlier posts, I have been unimpressed with what was available on the GOP side this year. Mainly this was due to too much baggage associated with a particular candidate, not having any "fire" to inspire people, or just another tired re-tread version of GWB/McCain pushed by party leadership who is unable to keep their word. I'm not big on the mind-set of "holding my nose when I vote" simply because of a party label. If you are not going to stand for what you believe in, then why are you wasting everyone's time by labeling yourself differently than you opponent? Walk over to them, bow down/group hug/kiss some body part/whatever floats your boat, sing kumbayah and think happy, happy thought to yourselves. I want a candidate who actually stands for something. I haven't been pushing very much earlier due to the competitiveness of the race drowning out anything that I would have to say on the matter. But now that the primaries are over, it's time for that to change. There will probably be a lot of friction between the various groups in the coming days, which is pretty much expected. But after the next several days, what will you do? Are you going to "hold your nose" and vote for Rick Snyder, just because he has a "-r" after his name on the ballot? Are you going to not vote for Bernero? I don't know about you, but NEITHER one of those choices appeals to me. I want to see an actual limited-government, Conservative candidate for the Office of Governor on the ballot. If this is something that you also want to see, and not wait until 2014, I highly recommend that you take at look at this year's US Taxpayer's Party of Michigan gubernatorial candidate: Stacey Mathia. Stacey Mathia for Governor Homepage. From what I have seen and read on her stand on the issues, she is not someone who will sell her principles and slap an "-r" after her name to make it easier to get onto the ballot, nor is she a Neo-Obama Zombie. The choices are fairly clear: Vote for someone who will stand for something, or take your chances with who the MSM feels would be a better candidate?
I would rather see someone who stands for the same principles as I do.
