The two political parties have rigged the system so that unless you are a tremendously superior candidate, and independent can not win.
Jesse Ventura was much the better man.
Yeah, tax cuts stink. (/sarcasm)
He wouldn't have been to first person to enter politics as an idealist and came out as a cynic.
Yeah, buying votes is cool.
Perry is making promises as well. Is that not buying votes?
I have nothing against your candidate...I'm just not moved by Jesse the Twit Ventura.
That's funny. Any time I paid a sales call to one of the plants on "da Range," it seemed like the purchasing guys in every other facility knew I was in town. They had some kind of a intruder notification system that the FBI could learn from. On one occasion, a guy looked me up and sat down to have breakfast with me in Virginia, MN. He knew what kind of car I was driving...
I personally think he or Kinky beats the others in this race.
nice post!!!
The problem was that he was going to give $1000 to everyone regardless of the size of their tax bill. So a lot of welfare folks and crackheads would have gotten a "rebate" of taxes they never paid in the first place.
Is it me, or is the content of his 1980 comedic show very mild by comparison to Richard Pryor, Steve Martin, or just about any other 70's comedian?
too bad kinky isn't a lib/dem and a jew....otherwise dean/peolosi/kerry/piaps/ma sheehan would all campaign for him....along with jesse ventura!
I didnt mention discrimination.
What I said was perfectly understandable, It is the double standard that blacks can make white jokes all day, but whites dare not tell a black joke. I can show many examples, from redd Foxx to Chris Rock.
If you wish to argue how many blacks have become Governors we have to argue whether it was discrimination or lack of votes at the ballot box. You see Governor isnt an affirmative action job.
By the way if no black can ever win . How do you explain Governor Wilder. I am sure he got quite a few white votes, and in a southern state too. I also might ask How many blacks ever ran for governor? Ya cant win if ya dont play. thats what they say about the lotto.
It takes a long time to build name recognition and credits with a party to be backed for Governor.
Fact is Kinky Friedman is a maverick, a fluke. It started as a joke and they kept laughing., He isnt a serious contender, or at least he shouldnt be. That he is there at all says a lot about the office. The dem candidate must indeed be horrible if this clown has a chance of besting him. The best thing Kinky has going for him is that he holds no allegiance to any party and can pretty much say anything he likes.
Are you here to lead the crusade?
I am supporting who I think is the best.
What Kinky has going for him is that a plurality wins (there is no run off) and there is a 4 way race and he has got the backing of the anti immigrants as he said he would put 10,000 national guard on the texas border.
I cant say I blame them much. Something has to be done about illegals and the candidates of the parties dont seem willing. Maybe if he wins they will get the message.
What do you think of amnesty?
