Kerry Diverted Michigan Tax Dollars to Boston (While Detroit Crumbled)

John Kerry wants voters to believe he will be the president who reclaims the White House from special interests.

In politics, special interests are everyone who writes checks to the other guy

Adding insult to injury -- Michigan is already a "donor state" when it comes to road money. For every $1 confiscated from taxpayers here, we get back $.90.

You could lose the Edmund Fitzgerald (again) in some of our potholes.

Perhaps Freepers could compile a list of all the people killed an auto accidents that occured due to delays and cancelations of highway programs in their states due to the "Big Dig".

Someone should be running anti-Kerry ads with this message... we gotta help Dean win some delegates =o)

Divide that convention and cause a floor fight!

[Torie]

Oh the horror. Kerry tried to get the bacon directed to the home counties. Shocking. The article is pathetic. the polemic is not even well enough researched to elucidate what specifically Detroit was aced out of, as if the problems of Detroit had anything to do with roads, and to do with pumping more federal dollars down that toilet. Bashing presumptive Bush opponents with junk is counter productive. JMO.

I was wondering.........Does labor unions count as lobbyists? I think they do. So I guess Kerry will ban ALL labor unions then........Just a thought.

Is there anywhere on the net where that information is broken out state-by-state?
