Time for a telethon!
"You know you live in a blue state when ..."
Michigan isn't a blue state - it's a red state with an utterly corrupt blue city that dominates it (we could put Illinois and Pennsylvania in this as well).
Is it any wonder that any honest person or company is getting the hell out of Detroit?
What a craphole.
It has been losing people forever and still it keeps raising taxes for the graft and corruption it feeds.
The sad thing is, that without the Detroit metro area...Bush would have won MI twice...
Very true. PA would have gone Bush without Philly (even with blue Pittsburgh still in there) and IL w/o Chicago.
A comparison of Detriot MI and Henderson NV (fastest growing city for 8 years in the US):

That is a great thing. I remember reading that 47% of the population of Detroit was functionally illiterate! Can you imagine a worae indictment of the public schools?! The people of Detroit should be marching in the street to close them all down.
Don't forget that the taxes also have to feed goldbricking and featherbedding.
Huh?
