Mayor of Crawford, TX, Is Kerry Supporter

Crawford is also represented in Congress by the popular Democrat Chet Edwards, who is believed to face a potentially difficult reelection battle now that his district has been extended eastward to normally Republican Bryan-College Station.

"I don't see where I'm better off than I was four years ago," Robert Campbell said Tuesday. "I don't see where the city is any better off."

There are none so blind....

"If some people around here don't like it, they can vote for someone else for mayor."

Hopefully they will.

"I have the right to vote for who I want to be president," he said.

What he meant was: "I will vote for whomever the Democrats tell me to vote for."

"I don't see where I'm better off than I was four years ago"
This is the rule of thumb for determining which candidate should be POTUS! It's all about "me, me, me." Democrats-- pathetic. I can certainly see why this man would vote for John Kerry.

"I don't see where I'm better off than I was four years ago," Robert Campbell said Tuesday. "I don't see where the city is any better off."

With his sprawling ranch near Crawford, Bush is the area's most famous resident. Tourists flood the Central Texas city's tiny downtown on weekends to purchase Bush memorabilia and eat the Presidential cheeseburger basket at the Coffee Station, the restaurant that Bush occasionally visits while on vacation...

Logic is obviously not his strong suit.

and the Governor of Mass. is voting for Bush
so there

"I don't see where I'm better off than I was four years ago...."

Well, I'm good at my job and work hard. I now make 50% more than I did four years ago. Have a wife and kid, a car and an SUV in the driveway. My property value is up 10% annually and I paid less taxes last year than the year before. I'm safer now under Bush than I was under Clinton. I'd say I'm much better off.

Well, but didn't R. Reagan borrow that line successfully from GA Jimmy in 1980? Crawford is close to heavily Democrat Waco, but Waco has been less reliable to "the democracy" in recent years.

Me me me me me me me me me

This tells us all we need to know about the esteemed mayor of Crawford.

I like this guy. Says what's on his mind. Reasonable people can disagree, I think....

[GOP_1900AD]

The undying chip on the shoulder.... OK then, there are a bunch of hard working, teetotaling Eritrian immigrants who want to have Campbell's cake and eat it too! What a loser....

[sarasota]

Perhaps he should be aware of the fact that 56% of Americans feel their personal lives have improved over the past five years. (See post just above this one.) Sounds like he's got something stuck in his craw in Crawford.

"I don't see where I'm better off than I was four years ago," Robert Campbell said Tuesday. "I don't see where the city is any better off."

This attitude is why our country is beginning to suck. "Hey...how come you aren't making my life better!". And found all the way in Crawford TX too!

[Jaded]

That is such a pathetic argument. It was used in 1992 by morons who only expected handouts. I had that same argument with a friend of mine in 1992. I was doing better than in 1998. Of course, I changed jobs and got divorced.

"I don't see where I'm better off than I was four years ago," Robert Campbell said Tuesday. "I don't see where the city is any better off."

What a stupid statement for a MAYOR to make! He was supposed to "make a difference, etc." If his statement is true, then they need a NEW MAYOR!..............

[Vision]

"The Kerry supporters feel like Bush has not delivered on his promises."

The only job the government is supposed to do is protect you.

"I have the right to vote for who I want to be president," he said. "If some people around here don't like it, they can vote for someone else for mayor."

A challenge?!

[plain talk]

"I don't see where I'm better off than I was four years ago," Robert Campbell said Tuesday.

Well, his federal taxes are probably lower.
