Scarce as hen's teeth. A politician I can endorse.

I know Jim and his family. One of the few who understands that to lead is to serve. Worth having a look if you are in his district.

Agreed, everyone loves the pedo-stache.

I love the pedo-stache. It's better than the common "goatee" or fat-stache everyone has going on once they put a few pounds on.

You like a guy who packs a minimum of 6 hysterical bullshit talking points into his three slim introductory paragraphs?

That's sadder and more pathetic than that guys stache.

On February 18, I changed my registration from Democrat to Independent. I was not thinking about running for Congress.

Sure, Jim, sure. You're not straight up lying through your teeth here, are you?

We're friends with his son and his family who live near us. They told us about his decision. The timeline is consistent.

I no longer live in the area where he was mayor, but he had a nasty habit of not being corrupt. Made him a lot of enemies. Of course there are those who accept that as long as they toe the party line. He's certainly not for them. That's why I brought up his name. He's not running in my state and he may not be an ideological fit for many. That he left the Democratic Party to become an independent is enough to throw the lemmings off. If someone doesn't like his politics that's fine. As far as honesty goes I believe he' far more honest than just about anyone in national office, certainly more so than the last few President or our illustrious Charlie Tangle.

Its hard for someone in another State not able to vote for Jim Sheets to get worked up up over the issue. I am somewhat with Perk, an ex democrat turned independent pretending to be a tea bagger.

But chances are, running as an Independent may put him on the 11/2 ballot, but long odds a democrat or republican will win.

But who knows, if Jim feels froggie he has a right to run. Will he be a grass roots candidate or grass clipping yard waste?

I have no idea if he can win but I lived where he was mayor for some years and he was very popular. What remains to be seen is if he can beat one of the strongest political machines in the US.

Hardly a teabagger, but I'm understand that anyone not part of the Onerous Beast of Partisanship is subject to most anything. Look what your party did to Hillary when Obama seemed a better bet. That's politics.

 

[Lemon law]

What are you smoking Hayabusa to ask, Look what your party did to Hillary when Obama seemed a better bet. That's politics. "

Hillary was not entitled to the democratic nomination, and to a large extent Hillary paid the price for supporting an Iraqi boondoggle when it seemed popular. We pay our politicians for being long term correct and not short term panderers.

This would be nice, but I do not think this is realistic. Politicians prioritize the short term because the american public consistently rewards that behavior. The best proponents of rational economic analysis can hope for is that we all have such a high discount rate that the time value of money erases the longterm costs and benefits anyway.

I don't recall saying Hillary was entitled to anything. I do say you threw her under the bus and she appears a paragon of virtue compared who was selected to be President today. You know that guy who was upset about Gitmo so he decided to move things to Afghanistan? Hey how about how we were mislead in Iraq and not so much as a peep has been raised about it? Remember your saying you hope that Bush will be held up as a greater mass murder than Stalin or Hitler? Well where's that spirit with your party now? Yeah, they'll get to investigating some day. Right.


Then there is your favorite war in Afghanistan, which we're getting more involved in. You mention NATO all the time, yet it the US which guides the ship, and guess who's at the helm?

The problem is that partisans (and that includes both sides) are so used to convenient lies and liars that they no longer recognize that our selected leaders (a choice of those who parties pick is hardly a choice) have the obligation to be honest with those they supposedly serve.

Yes, that's so passe.
