With a little luck and a lot of support Oregon may get a great new Senator. These are the kind of people who we need to find and support for office. Born without an arm or fibula’s in either leg wasn’t tough enough but at 14 his high school was closed because the school budget didn’t pass. By the time he was 21 he had graduated from Harvard Law. He knows what it means to have to fight the vested interests and to have people underestimate him. As long as candidates like this are willing to go into government we might just have a chance.
The best part is he uses his hook as… wait for it… his hook! (ugh)
With Hillary sinking in the polls and Barack rising they were going to have to do something. The first plan, using the “D” word, didn’t work. What to do? Enter Bill Clinton on Charlie Rose last week. Where in his smoothest slick willie tones warns america that to vote for Barack Obama is to “roll the dice“. Be afraid! Be very afraid!
After all Hillary relied on her experience when she voted to authorize the Iraq War. She used that same experience to give George Bush the green light to invade Iran. She trusted her experience to support torture but must now reject her experience because she doesn’t support it anymore.
Bill Clinton also asked, “When is the last time we elected a president based on one year of service in the Senate before he started running?” the answer? 1860. The candidate? Abraham Lincoln. Oh wait, he never won any National or Executive office.
Gimmee those dice!
Daddy needs a new administration…
