More Lame Robocalls

More from the sleazy Dick Devos crew.

First on Welfare:

"Jennifer Granholm supports unlimited welfare checks for able bodied adults for life. Michigan is struggling, we all know that. But we need a Governor that is tough enough to put limits on welfare and say to able bodied adults times up. We all belive in compassion, but Jennifer Granholm is letting Michigan become the great handout state. Michigan can't afford the welfare giveaways of Jennifer Granholm. Vote for change on Tuesday November 7th."

Second on "Gun Grabbin'":

"Here's a fact. Jennifer Granholm was given an "F" rating by the National Rifle Association in 2002. Now Granholm says you should trust her. Did you know Granholm's the one who put Proposal three on the ballot? She did and now our rights are being threatened. Jennifer Granholm cannot be trusted. Take the time to vote and remember when you vote November 7th Granholm is a gun grabber."

Notice something that's missing from the last few? What happened to the "Michigan Working Families"?
I don't know how much they think this will help Limp Dick DeVos. It's an appeal to the base, sure, but with Prop 3 already on the ballot, and welfare being such a small portion of the overall political atmosphere right now I don't know how this helps. Nothing in these scream action. Nothing outrageous. Just this...flaccid message.
I guess I just expected more gay marriage, or stem cell, or tax and spend. You know, hatred, bigotry and fear, Republicans political Viagra. But, this? I guess it's good that it's so benign for our side, but man, it's barely worth commenting on. Hey, it's daddy's money and he can spend it anyway he likes, and I'm glad that this is how he's plowing into the final weekend on such a generically feeble message.
