Do you want any of them to have their hand on the nuclear button? Yeah vote for them if you want to see a war with Iran, more US boots in Syria and any where else where we're likely to fail.

Obama a failure lets look at the economy he inherited in January 2009 and compare to today. He faced the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression ( actually FDR was bailed out of that one by WWII or it would have lasted much longer). The stimulus money that many of the GOP governors were only too happy to suck up actually improved the US infrastructure like roads. The US today gets about 15% of its energy via renewable resources a good way to tell Iraq and Iran we don't need any thank you. Michigan would have been a ghost town without the restructuring of GM and Chrysler not to mention how many parts suppliers (mostly non union) would have gone out of business. The Michigan GOP would not have anything left to govern without Obama's auto bailout with conditions. Even today in Michigan most job growth is auto related which would never have occurred without Obama. And we could go on about how Obama insisted that loans to banks and Wall Street give the US taxpayer reward for the risk and Dodd Frank. More Americans have medical insurance which means the uninsured costs don't get passed on in increased medical rates to employers. The rate of medical inflation has slowed. Yes after Bush spent billions in corrupt war contracts in Iraq training the military he agreed to a withdraw schedule that Obama stuck to.

Its scary (yes it halloween) to think what McCain/Palin or Milt Romney would have done in Obama's shoes. The majority of American people twice decided that Obama was better than the alternatives handed to them by the GOP. Expect a repeat in 2016.

There's nothing in the GOP platform for the average middle class American. And quick name five major legislative acts that have come out of the US House in the 8 years of GOP control? No you can't count getting rid of Obamacare, shutting the federal government down, endless pandering on immigration (funny how none of the solutions deal with prosecuting the companies that hire illegal immigrants) and of course lets investigate Libya 9 separate times.

Lastly the GOP approval percentage in the US is 32% which by the way is much higher than the Michigan voters give their Michigan GOP legislature which at last count was 20%. All well earned I might add.

Let me guess. You're supporting Hugo Bernie Sanders Chavez. stop dreaming, in time the DNC will destroy Bernie quicker than you can say Howard Dean.

As for the MI GOP having a 20%approval rating, tell me then, why do we keep electing Republicans in the senate, house, and governor? Elections, appear to be the only poll that matters.
