Stupid.

I don't know why the conservatives care so much if she's a lesbian. As if being a lesbian would, or might, impair her ability to apply the law equally and fairly to all Americans.

Alma Wheeler Smith, who represents Salem Township in Washtenaw County, which is home to Ann Arbor. Rick Snyder, a businessman seeking the Republican nomination, is from Ann Arbor as well.

It seems that she has entered each of the last three or four gubernatorial contests, only to later withdraw. At any rate, absent a huge upset, there will be a Republican governor in Lansing coming January 2011.

And from what I have read, she is able to do that. I believe she will be a solid addition to the SCOTUS.

IMO, in situations such as this, this seems to be the prevailing attitude among young people. As a CMU alum, I am disappointed in the player - she ought to transfer to another school and become a "star".

The reverend ought to have wrote a letter to the guy who ran, telling him to accept responsibility for his actions.

Make an informed decision.

People should 1) read info on their own (and not just sources that agree with their line of thinking); 2) think independently on their own and not just along party lines; and 3) decide individually how to vote on people/issues, based on 1 and 2. The two parties WILL be the desctruction of this society together, not independently of each other.

He's a Republican from one of the most liberal areas in the country. I think it's time for a level headed businessman to get the state back on track - obviously the Granholm administration couldn't do in 8 years. My support goes to Rick Snyder.

I have to agree with you, though, that she needs to spend some amount of time in jail. Otherwise, there is no deterrent for this type of behavior. She clearly needs help, counseling and treatment for a problem addiction. I will say that I think her life has been turned upside down from this, I'm sure, and that should count as partial punishment.

Something has to change with this pervasive deficit in the way people think and act today.
