Oregon Town Elects Nation's First Openly Transgender Mayor

Barack Obama wasn't the only candidate who made history Tuesday.

On the same day the United States elected its first black president, the tiny town of Silverton, Ore., elected the country's first openly transgender mayor.

Stu Rasmussen served two terms as Silverton's mayor in the 1990s, but he was still living in the closet -- and dressing in men's clothing. He came out a few years ago, proudly donning a skirt and high heels.

On Tuesday, Rasmussen won a third term, by 13 percentage points. He attributes his victory to his deep knowledge of the issues.

Anyone?

I’ll just say that I am so glad that I’m not in the Army anymore, because I just couldn’t bring myself to put my life on the line for a populace that has become as sick, twisted, and ignorant as what we have today.

Stu’s ultimate goal is to become the nation’s first President and First Lady simultaneously.

I’m afraid not. Things have gone too far. Now it will take some MAJOR HURTING to get back on track.

At least most on our side are aware of what is going to happen.

Call me dim but, I thought transgender = sex cahnge? Isn’t this sorry soul just a cross dresser? Either way too bad, he looked like a typical business man. now? Scary freak. Strange because silverton is an agricultural area with heavy immigrant population, although it is a bedroom (no pun intended) community for Salem too.

He attributes his victory to his deep knowledge of the issues.

And an uncanny sense of style -- always knowing which pumps and handbag best accessorize his ensemble for that day.

Btw- he's GUILTY !!!and then some!.

Just who are the dimwads who live in that town?
