Idiots on Parade

"We're Democrats because no one else will do it."  That's the take away message I get from Michigan Democrat hopefuls running for governor, attorney general, and secretary of state, who were in Saginaw last week for a fundraiser.  Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero, Speaker of the House Andy Dillon, and State Senator Alma Wheeler Smith all vowed to fight to retain the governor's mansion for Democrats despite the fact that Democrat Governor Jennifer Granholm has nearly buried our state over the course of the last eight years.  Here's a sample from the gang who can't shoot strait:

"We're the party who looks after Main Street and not Wall Street," said Bernero.  Mr. Dillon answered that with an unhelpful retort for either Mr. Bernero, other Democrat candidates or himself, by saying "no other state has lost more jobs or more people under eighteen who have moved away while pay rates have plummeted."  I guess that's how Democrats look after Main Street.  Not to be outdone, Sen. Smith may have uttered the most inane statement yet to come out of the mouth of a Democrat; "Government does what business does not do and we do it well."  Wow!  Unbelievable.  In other words, government has taken over parts of the automobile industry, healthcare, education, job training, banking, insurance, etc., only because the private sector doesn't do these things very well, if at all.  Really Alma?  Can't wait to not vote for any of these folks in August.
