ODDS AND ENDS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

Here is an interesting article about what is really going on in Oakland County's Gary Peters' district.  It's really not all as rosy as he would like you to believe.  In his op-ed today in the Oakland Press he claims that we gained some 25,000 new jobs.  I say, no way, unemployment is as high as ever. Maybe he was counting the temporary census workers or a number of new government employees.  His lack of honesty and transparency leaves me wondering.

Here is a great blog just about that - nothing is happening. Construction has halted and jobs are lost.

Here is another take on the recent namecalling by Gary Peteres, namely calling Rocky Raczkowski a "teabagger"  http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2010/09/027279.php

There was another article today in the Oakland Press that really upset me.  GOP activists are turning against one of the best candidates, (besides Rocky) Justin Amash, an Icaucus endorsed candidate who posted each and every one of his votes on Facebook for complete transparency.  Yes, he is a true conservative and votes accordingly, how can anyone be too conservative after what we have been observing the last 18 months.  This is what a fellow blogger wrote about this:  http://reclaimmichigan.blogspot.com/2010/09/justin-amash-obstructionist-or.html

GARY PETERS DISRESPECTS WOMEN AND SLAMS THE TEA PARTY

Today at an Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority candidate forum,  Gary Peters referred to Rocky as a "tea-bagger" and said the Tea-party members are close-minded and create a polarizing rhetoric.

Another attendee reported this: Gary Peters called Rocky a 'teabagger' at the Bloomfield Twp library this morning to a room of almost all women. This is a sexually obscene phrase--look at wikipedia if you're not familiar. According to my source, the look on Peters' campaign manger's face was priceless.
 
I take personal offense to this kind of behavior and statement.  Not only is Peters disrespectful to women but also to thousands in his district and millions around the state and country.  Peters attacks are becoming shameful and he lies about Rocky every chance he gets.
 
By calling Rocky a teabagger and insulting the Tea Party members, he is clearly showing that he is and always will be Pelosi's lapdog.  We do not and will not tolerate someone like him to represent us in Washington.
