Michigan Votes Forum

crazycajun:

 hey guys...

the TOPIC is accountability.

you haven't stuck to it for quite a while.

you HAVE trolled.

you also need to once again speak to your friend, co-conspiritor, and alter-ego, trueblue.

this place is HIS personal battleground. among others.

now, if you would PLEASE keep ON TOPIC...

Your comment duly noted.

My point demonstrated and confirmed.

Thanks for the help.

 so, please answer the questions...

WHAT exactly has our governor DONE to solve the current JOB crisis in michigan?

she's had almost eight years.

WHAT exactly has our governor DONE to solve the current FISCAL crisis in michigan?

she's had almost eight years.

WHAT exactly has our governor DONE to keep BUSINESSES IN MICHIGAN?

she's had almost eight years.

and before you spout on about Engler. you must remember, our governor is a TWO term governor, the governor BEFORE her WAS her.

she got elected on the promise that she would improve michigan. that she would STIMULATE JOBS, that she would STIMULATE THE ECONOMY, that she would make our state BUSINESS FRIENDLY. she has succeeded at NOTHING she has promised in almost eight years. tell me why she should be TRUSTED to succeed in the next few months.

her beloved business tax is in the process of being repealed, not by HER but by a congress in which the TAX CUTTERS are in the distinct MINORITY.

the BIG THREE failing and bailing is not the doing of the REPUBLICAN president, but the DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR.

you don't see TOYOTA execs standing before congress with their hands out.

you don't see MAZDA execs standing before congress with their hands out.

only ford, gm, and chrysler. in fact, this is the SECOND time we've had to bail out chrysler. the previous time was under carter.

if granholm WOULD have been successful, the big three wouldn't be in the mess they are in.

if the UNIONS would have been successful, the big three wouldn't be in the mess they are in.

face it.. their crisis is NOT caused by the failure of capitalism, it is caused by a failure of the ideology of the left.

 granholm went to japan for a MONTH to get some japanese workers to come here to work. she brought a total of THIRTY FIVE workers back with her. that's thirty five jobs that AMERICANS LOST because of her little trip.

granholm HAS increased SOME jobs in michigan. she had to hire one hundred ten more unemployment workers to handle the increased load.

this thread is where we hold her accountable for her actions.

engler has been out for eight years. if the problems from engler are THAT insurmountable, perhaps YOU hired (elected) the wrong person.

now, while we are on the subject of accountability. how is obama going to account to the national media for the fact that his FIRST news conference was with EL-ARABIA news, not the alphabet news of THE COUNTRY OF WHICH HE IS PRESIDENT?

also, how is he going to account to the people of this country that the governor of his home state GOT IMPEACHED within weeks of his inauguration for selling his congressional seat?

we already SEE how he is being held accountable for WINNING THE WAR, and not SURRENDERING. i'm sure that is causing some consternation from the ANTI-WAR crowd that elected him.

now, if you know of some miraculous plan that granholm has that will restore jobs in this state, please let us know.

 it seems as if obama has picked a cabinet full of tax cheats.

one has resigned, and the rest are looking for holes to hide in.

it's so much fun to watch the liberal media report on this, you can tell it hurts them to the core.

 why do those on the left refuse to hold their candidate ACCOUNTABLE for reneging on the promises that got them elected?

possibly because doing so would also be admitting that they BELIEVED that those promises would be kept, and that holding them responsible would be admitting that they were WRONG.

i'd like to be looking sever of those from the left in the face when my questions get asked, i'd like to see the expressions on their faces, not just the silence from the keyboard.

Some times it's not good to get what you want. The last eight years are a good example for repubs.

 we didn't want granholm. YOU DID.

we didn't want to lose thousands of jobs. YOU AND GRANHOLM DID.

we didn't want to be mired in this mess. YOU AND GRANHOLM DID.

take the blame. it belongs squarely on granholm and all who voted for her.

 Still spewing ignorant crap I see.

Pffffft !

Governor Granholm has STOPED the hemorrage of MI jobs the best she could after Bush and idiot Engler destroyed the state.

Granholm is the best Governor MI has seen in decades and thats the fact.

 well, trueblue.

she didn't STOP the hemmorage... it's still spurting.

we have the highest unemployment rate in the nation and THAT is a fact. indesputable fact, verifiable fact. TRUE fact.

so, if you disagree... you LIE.

once again.

pffft....

 admit it...

she wasn't up to the task.

the big three tanked on HER WATCH.

highest unemployment in the nation on HER WATCH.

you think that's the best governor???

what makes you think so?

 so, please answer the questions...

WHAT exactly has our governor DONE to solve the current JOB crisis in michigan?

<not a thing.  in fact, she's raised taxes and made the crisis worse.>

WHAT exactly has our governor DONE to solve the current FISCAL crisis in michigan?

she's had almost eight years.

<again, not a thing. her raising taxes on businesses has had disasterous effects.>

WHAT exactly has our governor DONE to keep BUSINESSES IN MICHIGAN?

<nothing...>

she's had almost eight years.

and before you spout on about Engler. you must remember, our governor is a TWO term governor, the governor BEFORE her WAS her.

<because she's a liberal democrat, and liberal democrats can be forgiven for anything. look at bill clinton. he would have been impeached within days if he had been a republican, but as for the democrats, they STILL love him, despite his record.>

her beloved business tax is in the process of being repealed, not by HER but by a congress in which the TAX CUTTERS are in the distinct MINORITY.

 as the left will not answer questions, i have taken the time to answer them for them. they had their chance, but they flubbed it again.

 hey true... if this is the best she could do, you guys elected the wrong woman to do the job. then, you stepped up and RE-ELECTED her after the FIRST FOUR YEARS OF FAILURE TO DO THE JOB. at what point do you leftists REALIZE that she's not going to be able to get the job done? at what point do you leftists realize that taxing and spending isn't going to save michigan?

NEVER.

 isn't it time the people of michigan held he governor ACCOUNTABLE for her seven years of failure to bring this state out of the economic doldrums we have faced for almost as long as she has been governor?

isn't it time that the democrats wake up and realize that SHE CAUSED most of the problems she now has to 'fight'?

yes, it IS time.

is it going to HAPPEN? no.

 once again, our legislature has failed to show any signs of accountability, and opted instead to lower high school standards once again. some see this as progress, i see this as taking the cowards way out.

 accountability:

high taxes have caused business to shut down and leave. the state is being held responsible for it's anti-business policies.

poor public services have caused the crime rates in our big cities to skyrocket. the state and those cities are being held responsible for their 'soft on crime' policies and cutting budgets for police protection instead of the useless programs they hold so dear.

for a long time the citizens of this state have perceived themselves as serfs, only to do the bidding of the state, and have, as soon as possible, fled to states that offered lower taxes, less repressive legislation and more personal freedoms. the state is being held responsible for it's inability to respect the rights and freedoms of it's citizens.

for years, michigan has lead the nation in it's incarceration rate. michigan is being held responsible for it's myriad of laws designed to keep the larder full by squeezing the people and criminalizing their every move.

it is a pity that the legislators and political leaders are blind to this responsibility and refuse to see it even when it effects them negatively.

The ultimate accountability lies with the voters. To constantly complain about what politicians are doing or not doing is not fulfilling our duties as citizens. We need to learn the issues and encourage politicians with reason and knowledge to do our bidding. And voting is the ultimate example of accountability.

 the problem there, jman, is that we only get to vote on him once, he gets to do harm until we can vote on him again years later. till then, he neither has to listen to our knowledge or our reasons. he simply has to vote his mind. the other problem is that there are voters who's only goal is to get a check from the government. they vote en bloc to forward that goal to the absolute exclusion of knowledge or reason.

when we get the government out of the welfare check writing business, we can start using our knowledge, and our reason.

  I can't belive I just read this! BEST GOVERNOR??? More like the "BEST job destroyer in history," don't ya think??

 i believe, doctor, that history will view her that way.

 Accountabillity?  That is something that Barack Obama does not have in his vocabularity because he still blames George Bush and everyone else for his economy and his stimulus package that was a farce to say the least.

Which of over 100 Barack Obama "gaffes" is your favorite below?  Move over Jimmy Carter, we have now found your replacement as the worst of the worst!
