As if things weren't hard enough already!

Let's put it on the ballot so they can see how everybody really feels...

This was whymore of the Michigan way just won't work. We need new blood, new thought and more action. Vote for someone who is right in front of you, vote for the people who have never been in politics. I'm sick of these people who go to college to be President. Vote them and all tax hikes down, force them to use the cash they get now wisely (we have to).

Isn't that the truth! I feel that when most people go to the booth to vote, they just pull the lever for either Republican or Democrat. People need to make more of an informed decision. I know there are some organizations that push their rank and file to vote a certain way. It shouldn't be like that. The reason why we have the poor politicians in office that we currently do is precisely because of this.
