Even as jobs–and by proxy, people–continue to stream out of Michigan, there are still some people who vote based on the most ridiculous criteria imaginable. With Rick Snyder winning out in Michigan’s gubernatorial primary, hopefully voters will now concentrate on what matters most… jobs!
Snyder was able to beat out Mike Cox, who was endorsed by Michigan’s Right to Life PAC because of his adamantly pro-life stance. With Snyder being a less than perfect poster-boy for the movement–he does claim to be pro-life, but strongly supports stem-cell research–hopefully the pro-lifers will stop worrying so much about such an irrelevant issue in a gubernatorial election. Do they even realize that a governor has absolutely no say in national policy? No matter who wins, they are not going to change the law or influence the supreme court.
It’s time to stop worrying about things that don’t matter. The right to life position is only used as a distraction for people who think with their hearts instead of their heads. Start worrying about whether or not you’ll have a job tomorrow and stop being distracted by things that your governor has absolutely no control over.
If you agree with the candidate’s economic policies and plans for reform–regardless of who they are–go ahead and vote for them. But if you’re voting based on irrelevant social issues, we’re all going to find ourselves in an even bigger mess than we already are.
