Our Disgraceful Dems (Michigan political hacks).

[last1standing]

If you are a Democrat in Michigan, you ought to have one goal in mind as far as your party is concerned: purging the hacks, creeps and incompetent stooges who run the Michigan Democratic Party.

Thanks to Democratic Party Chairman Mark Brewer, National Committeewoman Debbie Dingell, Gov. Jennifer Granholm and U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, you are to have no say in the most exciting and possibly most important race for the presidency in history.

That became clear last week, when, after bungling not one but two attempts at holding a primary, and then impotently floundering about for some weeks, the Dems threw in the towel and decided they weren't going to let you vote for president after all.

Brewer's spokesman put out this release on Friday afternoon: "The Michigan Democratic Party has carefully reviewed several proposals for a party-run primary or caucus as a means of resolving the dispute over the seating of the Michigan delegation to the 2008 Democratic National Convention. We have concluded that it is not practical to conduct such a primary or caucus."

I don't think this has been posted yet and the Columnist is probably the most authoritative political wonk in Metro Detroit. The article gives some very good insights into the game our spineless Michigan Dems are playing and the cost to us voters.

2. Seems to be about right but

Mark Brewer was against the early vote from the start. Am I upset enough to vote for a rethug. because of this. Dream on.

6. That's not what Lessenberry said.

He's suggesting we try to vote them out in the primary and I agree.

3. I love Jack Lessenberry

He sure told it like it is with no holds barred in this column, as he usually does.

4. I'm pissed at Brewer about a lot more than the primary situation

I hope someone throws their hat in the ring against him when his term as chair is up. We need some new blood.

7. Why not you?

Seriously. You're politically aware and have been involved with Skinner's campaign, if I remember correctly. It couldn't hurt if he runs unopposed.

8. Not a chance

I'll never run for anything, except perhaps precinct delegate. I absolutely do not do public speaking, for one thing. I also don't have the stomach for it. I'm more of a behind-the-scenes kind of gal. I'll work my ass off for someone I really believe in, but I'll never run for anything myself.
