a:3:{s:16:"field_story_body";a:1:{i:0;a:2:{s:5:"value";s:1233:"<span style="font-size: larger;">Some Michigan Tea Party activists are calling on conservatives to &quot;sit out&quot; Republican Gov. Rick Snyder's re-election campaign because of his push to expand Medicaid eligibility under the Affordable Care Act.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">It seems that the old adage about &ldquo;cutting your nose off to spite your face&rdquo; seems appropriate in this case.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">Governor Snyder is no conservative but he has to be better than Mark Schauer. Holding ones nose when voting seems to be a much better solution and hope that we can retain the House and Senate for another two years.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">Failing that we could see us returning to the Granholm days with Schauer.</span><br />
