Let me put it to you this way, from 2000 till now I voted for about half democrats and half republicans. Most of the sate reps I voted for were democrats, most of the house reps I voted for were republican. I am a member of the Arizona Republican Party and have been Republican all my adult life. I'm not the person you want an opinion from when it comes to congress, because, I am for term limits, I DO NOT think ANY of them have done a good job in the House or Senate and have not thought so for quite some time. Guess what I didn't vote for Bush in 04 and can tell you when I stopped supporting Bush it was when he appointed Don Rumsfeld as SecDef and would not fire him. So you try to paint people in black and white terms , us and them sealy and can tell you its my experience that most people are not that way, most people just want to believe that the people in Washington have their best intrests at heart and the label is secondary. The real problem has been that the people in Washington seem to have forgotten that people are not important but the label is!!
If you voted for people in the GOP then you don't understand their agenda. You and all of us American laborers are of no more value to the party than a Mexican worker or Chinese. In fact, we are more expensive so we are an inconvienence to them. They lied about wages being up for 8 years. I knew that wasn't true, but they must have factored in CEO pay and the fact that unemployment went up. That does nothing for the people that make $50k-$99k. Our wages have stagnated and a lot of us lost our jobs and had to take a step back. How can wages be up if so many manufacturers went from making $35K an hour to making 15 hr? I knew it was a lie and now you all know it. But I bet you don't remember them saying wages were up. You'll ask me to prove it. Well I am done proving. You figure it out for yourself or vote for John McCain and see what you get.
Won't matter anyways. Look what I found:
Why McCain is Leaving Michigan--and What It Means for Nov. 4
Without Michigan--which the campaign has now all but admitted that it will lose - it's very difficult to see how McCain can emerge victorious on Nov. 4. For months, McCain has made Michigan the centerpiece of his electoral offense, and with good reason. Iowa, a state that George W. Bush won in 2004, is almost certain to swing to Obama; he currently leads there by more than 10 points on average. Same goes for New Mexico, where Obama's ahead by 8. When combined with John Kerry's 251 electoral votes, those two states alone would put Obama within seven of the magic 270 mark; a single, additional win in either Colorado, Virginia, Ohio or Florida--all of which currently favor the Democrat--would put him over the top. Which is why McCain, desperate to make up ground, has long pinned his hopes on Michigan. The Arizona senator was polling within 2 points of his Illinois opponent as recently as Sept. 10.
Unfortunately, the recent avalanche of distressing economic news--especially impactful in a state with the nation's highest level of unemployment--seems to have moved the expensive Great Lakes State out of McCain's reach.
