Not everyone pays attention to politics on a daily basis. They have other concerns --family, school, jobs, and so on. Other people are just cynical about politics. There's no difference between the two parties, they say.
If Michigan people want to know if there truly is a difference between the parties, the possible vote on a loan to the auto industry is a good issue to examine.
Michigan Democratic Sen. Carl Levin has been one of the leaders. Republican Rep. Mike Rogers hasn't had much to say. What little he did say I had to force out of him.
But others in his party are actively fighting the proposal -- and threatening to filibuster it. Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions and Richard Shelby of Alabama seem to be hoping that the American auto industry goes under. If that happens, the difference between the parties will be framed in the starkest of terms -- one party stood up for American jobs, the other tried to kill them.
I wonder what the damage will be to Republicans in Michigan if (heaven forbid) the Alabama senators do succeed in sinking the auto industry loan. I don't see Mike Rogers standing up to them. I don't see Saul Anuzis talking sense to them.
Who's sticking up for you and your jobs, Michigan?

The Republicans seem to have forgotten their U.S.A.,U.S.A. chant when it comes to our manufacturing sector!
They better get on the USA wagon or they will really find themselves out in the wilderness in 2010.
Maybe that chant just really meant, send our U.S.A. soldiers for oil, I don't know, but they sure are quiet when it come to our working men and women.
You would think that would be one thing we could agree on.
Yes, there is a difference between the parties.
The governor of Illinois is a Democrat. He is not a Republican.
Kwame Kilpatrick is a Democrat. He is not a Republican.
Shall I go further?
Well right off the bat you have Larry Craig and Mark Folley so come on.....
Where is your USA chant about the auto industry? Or are you a Honda guy who wants our country to give up manufacturing?
I don't get you and your Republican party and why they seem to want to give up decent wages and good health care?
Why are you against the working men and women of our country?
What do you stand for?
What are your hopes for our country? Lose our manufacturing sector?
