The truth will make you free, the saying goes.
And in Michigan's 8th Congressional District, the truth about Republican Mike Rogers makes voters want to be free of him.
That's according to a survey of likely voters in the district.
When voters were told about Rogers' support for George Bush's policies, only 31 percent supported the incumbent for re-election.
His opponent, Democrat Bob Alexander, was favored by 51 percent. Another 18 percent were undecided.
The "informed head-to-head" poll gave voters balanced statements about each candidate. Christensen & Associates Inc. directed the survey, which was conducted by phone by the campaign.
The same poll found the district strongly behind Sen. Barack Obama for president by a margin of 46 percent to just 36 percent for Republican John McCain, with 18 percent undecided.
It may not have been an outside poll, but it does show that Alexander can beat Rogers -- if he can tell voters what Rogers really stands for, and not just what Rogers wants voters to hear.
Take a minute to visit Alexander's website and help him get the word out.

Let me ask you a question. Come November and Alexander gets his hat handed to him by voters, will you have the grace and courage to come back on this blog and admit that this post was a bunch of propaganda and hogwash?
How can you expected to be believed when you write this stuff as though it is factual? It minimizes everything else you post as pure partisan nonsense.
Make you a deal...if the vote comes out close to this so-called poll, I'll be on here Tuesday night, Nov. 4, with an admission that you were right.
Will you do the same if Rogers again routs Alexander?
It is a poll! Judy is telling you about the poll.
You don't believe this poll happened or the results?
In case you have not noticed this is a partisan blog. It is about Democrats. Your party has blogs as well and they too are partisan. Please relax and enjoy the election cycle.
Okay, so you are saying that the stuff on this site is not to be believed...I'm fine with that.
Hey, Nobody is forcing you to read this, are they? Or are you one of those paid trolls, paid by Republicans to try to stir up trouble in cyberspace?
If you don't like it here, go away.
This is a Democratic Blog
This is not a Republican Blog
Don't get upset when we back Democrats, it makes you look foolish.
As of November 5th Mike Rogers is going to loose even more influence than he did after the 2006 Congressional Elections. He wont be able to get more earmarks for Cleary "College" or Lowrey Computers.
His office will be in the basement, 15 blocks from the capitol and will be as large as a broom closet.
Go ahead, vote for him and see your voice diminished.
