Ugh. CNN did
for 2008 presidential candidates. The choices were:
Giuliani, McCain, Gingrich, Allen, Frist, Romney, Pataki, Brownback, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Edwards, Feingold, Richardson, Warner, Bayh, Biden, or Vilsacka.
Ugh. If those are my choices, I choose "none of the above." Sorry, but not one of those people has given me any reason to vote FOR them. Just saying they're not as bad as the other guy isn't good enough for me. If those are the choices, feel free to join me in writing in "Ogre."

What about TOM???????????????
Why did they leave him out.
Hmm.
It's Ogre and Tom for President.

Either choice is fine with me.
And you know why they left Tom out. In case you missed it, this was a CNN poll...

Yeah well...they can't keep us down forever.
Not at all! They can try to prevent us from speaking and voting for who we want...but it'll come back.

Thanks Raven.
I am not quite rotten to the core yet, so I doubt I will run. Thanks for the plug though.

Raven? Yes they can. It's called gerrymandering.
Tomslick? Funny story:
When I was running for election once, I had a fellow ask me point blank, "Son, are you an honest person?"
I replied, "I think so."
He said, "Why would you want to change that?"

I have to believe that story Ogre. Comply or fly. I suspect many people in politics start out with good intentions, but are just processed into "politicians" in no time at all.
It is depressing when our own elected officials can't bring themselves to do the right thing.
The enemy is within.
Run again for something Ogre. It would be nice to have a champion in gov't (in any level) that would be vocal about what is right and what is wrong and when gov't is overstepping their authority.
Or if you would turn out like the rest, I hope you would remember me for some lucrative gov't contracts.

I consider it often, believe me, Tomslick. I think it's partly that fear of becoming part of the system that scares me. I do NOT want to tell people what to do. I do NOT want to spend other people's money. I want to mind my own business -- and in today's political world, that's the opposite of what happens.
Maybe I'll attack the State House or Senate in 2008. I just need to stockpile a little money so I can afford to take time off work to do some campaigning...

I wish you luck on that one. If you decide to run, I would contribute and help any way I could even though I am in Pa.
That would be a big sacrifice and a huge decision.

Thank you.
When I ran last time, I spent 2 months working only part time and campaigned all day, just about every day. I got more votes than any Republican ever had in that district (46%), but it was drawn to be a Democrat district, so I didn't win. It IS a giant decision, which is why I haven't run since I moved from the D district.
