Mature young people = oxymoron.
Is that counterproductive? A few people there might not like it, but more read the papers than go to those events.
Independent?!? Independent?!? Unfortunately, I live here now, and independent is not a word I would apply to Michigan voters on the whole. A beautiful state, but, basically, a bunch of rubes surrounding (and supporting) the Third World of Detroit.
Sorry, Dan from Michigan, MomBonn, and the Grosse Pointers. Don't mean to offend--I did pull punches--but that's the way I see it.
As for independence, sure. 90% of Detroiters dependent on the state for subsistence. And the automobile union people so "independent" of the teamsters that they ignore the written statements of a man who wants to destroy their industry and vote overwhelmingly for him because the union tells them to.
The Free Press has always been an activist arm of the far left. Back when Detroit had three newspapers, the Detroit News often took the Republican viewpoint, the Detroit Times the Democrat?s and the Free Press supported the socialist left. The Free Press still supports the far left.
Free speech to the Free Press means that they may publish any type of lie about any conservative but those of us without a newspaper are supposed to keep out mouths shut. They can get as crude as they wish, but the "people" are not supposed to comment.
The Detroit Free Press, in other words, exemplifies everything that is wrong with our State and nation. They are one of the major mouthpieces of the hard left socialists.
The candidate for governor, Jennifer Granholm, is an incompetent fool; a tool of the far left. Anyone watching her campaign knows that she has nothing worthwhile to say. After all, she was born in Canada and raised in California. She's an interloper. So, it's understandable that she doesn't know much about Michigan. Therefore, her rhetoric is little more than a repeat of the socialist party mantra.
