Detroit

Granholm (D), thankfully, is out of office after next year. Hopefully, we can elect someone who is conservative, sensible, and didn't spend nearly all his/her life on the left coast (Granholm didn't make it as a Hollywood starlet) or in Harvard Law School. She has been a disaster for Michigan, although she at least is having some hesitation about putting Gitmo terrorists into state penitentiaries.

Which is more than can be said for Barf Stupid (D), who wants to transplant them to the UP. He is also up for re-election next year. But, he keeps getting returned to office because he's a Democrat, and the first district is predominantly donkey. I'd like to see a decent challenger from the GOP, as well as someone to give him a run for his money in a Democratic primary. I've been following his activities for several months now, and his rationalizations for things like cap and trade, the stimulus, and the health care fiasco are beyond comprehension. He has yet to respond to my query about compromising the safety and security of Michigan by relocating Gitmo creeps here. The only thing that is crystal clear is that he votes along party lines 86% of the time.

As for Stabenow (D), she was just returned for another six years, and we won't have another chance to get rid of her until 2014, which is probably why she's being so boneheaded now. It's safe to be stupid and arrogant when you know your job's safe for 5 1/2 more years. Carl Levin (D) isn't up until 2012. Big brother Sander Levin (D) is up in 2010.

And this is just a sampling of the US Congressional delegation. Notice, though, how they all have (D) after their names. Getting the picture yet?
