Back in 2008, I campaigned as a write-in candidate for the South Carolina 1st Congressional District against the two "serious" candidates, Republican incumbent Henry Brown and Democrat challenger, Linda Ketner. I even spent money on radio ads promoting my campaign. Granted, I started late, but a couple of months before the election is not a lot of time to get your name out there. So, for the 2010 race, I am starting now. I may hold fundraisers, but running for Congress was never envisioned of becoming the industry that it is today by our Founding Fathers.
I have a commitment to Liberty, shrinking the power of the federal government, and moving to consumption taxes.
A large part of my last platform was reactionary to the two big government policies of the other two candidates. That has not changed for this run, but I think I'll be more direct this time out. Since South Carolina doesn't publish write-in votes unless they break a 25 vote per precinct threshold, I had to go find out from each County office in person. The results put it near 600 votes. I was only about 140,000 short.
Here's to a new campaign for 2010! Plus, if I get in, I can pay off my house in the first year.

As a New Zealander living in Japan I offer my support. No f**king way am I going to South Carolina though

Those pics won't help your political career, me thinks.

Dude, their Governor just got caught banging an Argentine hooker. He only wears heels and takes heavy gauge buttplugs.
Daddy's a shoe-in.

If anything, I can get the drag queen vote. I have walked in their shoes.
-
In my state, a man can legally beat his wife with certain conditions.
-
that's so weird that each state has different laws

It's absurd. You have federal law, state law, and local laws. And you're expected to be aware of them all. I think that outside of the biggies like murder, theft, etc., ignorance of the law is a perfectly reasonable excuse.
You also run into problems when you cross jurisdictions. On the radio one morning, I heard someone talking about how they drove to DC from Texas for a vacation. They had window tinting and were ticketed for it being too dark in Virginia. However, in TX where the car was registered, it was perfectly legal to have their windows tinted that dark. There are tons of ways you can break the law without being aware of doing it simply because of the difference in laws between one area of the US & the next.

Dude, Eliot In The Morning is uber gay.
-
True. But I am only in the car for 15 minutes in the morning, so I can't justify paying for Sirius & Stern and I'm usually not ready to listen to music that early.
-
That is the beauty of the system. Looking from local to state to federal, outside of mandates within constitutional standards, the 9th and 10th Amendments give a lot of wiggle room for states and localities to allow or prohibit a variety of things. And for the most part all levels of government ignore their mandates and limits of derived authority completely.

Is that DC 101?
-
Yeah. They play the show on a Baltimore station now too.

Great. Dupont Circle, meet Pigtown. Good luck, fellas...

In Virginia, everything is illegal.
In fact, I think Virginia iteslf is illegal.
-
Anything with a "virgin" in it should be outlawed, because then only outlaws will have virgins.

Not true. In most jurisdictions in VA you can legally carry firearms. And you can carry them into a bar to drink. They're trying to pass a law outlawing that but it's not illegal now.

which is the state where I get a gun for opening a bank account?
-
That would be Texas. Where they sell guns in the supermarkets, right next to the beer cooler.
Or that's how it was in San Angelo in the late 80s.

Our justice system is in need of a major make-over, imho.

At the Super WalMarts, there are guns for sale right next to the baby supplies! :o

Actually I think it was the Shopper's Food Warehouse. I bought a lovely FIE knockoff of the Beretta 92 in there.

Shit, the hoops we have to go through here to buy a firearm... but even still, I think Australia still has a higher ownership of firearms than the US on a per capita basis. My Dad is armed to the teeth, but for no real reason other than to own them.

...because guns are sexy.

Well, only when held by hot women in scantily clad clothing. Example:

More than a handful is a waste.

i've sort of been thinking about running, my own self, but, cripes,
my exit polls in an out-of-the-way forum show me to the MINUS before i even start,
so i guess i'll just have to pursue another career.
What would i be good at? Suggestions? ;)

Bondage porn.

More than a handful is a waste.
You are NEVER going to believe this ~ oh, wait. Zoomer! i was thinking that exact thing when i proofed that post! Well, actually, i couldn't remember if it was over a MOUTHfull or a HANDful, but yo

THANK you. A woman asks that question, and the men think we're, like, kidding, or something.
But we don't get to just GRAB other folks, and act like it's a drunken accident, you know? Not like THEY could! rofl

Oh I have leather. But I'm a sailor and know my way around a nice, soft length of rope...

Once you're secured to the ceiling, you're less concerned with what I'm penetrating you with. At least in my experience...

Wow, did this thread ever take an Off-Topic turn. Sorry about that, 'cuz it isn't totally impossible that you might get elected.
So, last we heard, you were going to hook us up with a link to your show, right?
And if you don't mind some "wild stranger off the street" (from another thread), i'll help, as i can. i live in Texas, so i might not be able to do much, but w/e

I know this was probably a joke, but I think it's indicative of the mentality of politicians. And that bothers me.

Yes, on both counts. It was a joke, and once you get elected to Congress, it seems people forget why they were put there in the first place.
One part of my platform is to cut Congressional pay by three-fifths, that's a historically good compromise. There is no need to pay a Congressman from my district $167,000 a year, when the average citizen makes around $32,000. That is BULLSHIT. They aren't that important, and why should they get paid that much to fuck up our lives and make us pay more? I would look to cap salaries between 60,000 and 80,000 on the high end. Not to mention bringing the Congress back to its PART-TIME status. It was never meant to be an industry. I know this won't bode well with the American political machine, but I'm more interested in cutting the fat than using it for lube.

And that's what we need, folks like YOU to be in office ~ the folks that aren't just "dazzled" by the power and money.
The ENTIRE reason for the "recesses" that the houses take were meant for them to go home, take care of biz, WHICH WAS THEIR LIVELIHOOD, 'cuz their house positions? Didn't pay SQUAT. They were sort of volunteer positions, if i'm remembering correctly.

I've often thought the congressional motto should be "Just sit there... don't do something"

That's the best thing they can do... Authorize war for defense when need be and run the courts... Other than that really, they would do us a great service by sitting down and shutting the fuck up.
