Stabenow uses it here when she says that Mike Bouchard cast the deciding vote to allow Canadian trash into the US. If there is a vote that passes by one vote, anyone on the winning side could be considered the deciding vote. Not only that, but bills have to pass both houses, do they not? So who was the deciding vote in the House? It's not like Bouchard ran onto the Senate floor and cast a vote with moments to spare. I hope the Michigan electorate realizes this.<BR/>Second, as much as we all hate it, trash is a commodity protected by NAFTA. The city of Toronto has a deal worked out with a <I>private</I> dump just outside of Detroit. If the Michigan government or the federal government tries to intervene, Canada can bring a complaint against us for violating NAFTA stipulations. <BR/>In other words, Stabenow is very misleading with her ad. Nothing new here...A.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11066306250335250019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22328391.post-1160932161437378762006-10-15T13:09:00.000-04:002006-10-15T13:09:00.000-04:00I cant believe how stupid the majority of her ads ...I cant believe how stupid the majority of her ads are. But I also cant believe how bad she's beating Bouchard in the polls. The National GOP is about to give up on the race.<BR/><BR/>Are the people of the great state of Michigan really that dumb to re-elect Granholm and Stabbenow?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
