What are your thoughts on new blood running for office?

I've thought about running because I can't stand the guys in office now. However I have no political experience, which I think would be a good thing. However I'm sure the "establishment" would destroy me because I have no experience. Additionally,I think my closet is free of skeletons but I'm sure the machine could find or manufacture a skeleton or two to derail me if I actually posed a threat to their candidate. What say the board?

Sign up and run for congress. I'm sure you will do great.

Quickly looks at your post history to see if I would be comfortable with you as an elected official.

What's your platform?
Basically, be honest and represent my constituents effectively.
I'm pro 2nd amend, pro life, pro individual rights.

We need to either go in and frick their shite up or shut the frick up. I have grown tired of all the diplomatic bullshite. Either strike now are shut the f up. Actions speak louder than words. Words without action are defining in a negative way IMHO. Pick a side/course of action and follow through. Be it good or bad say what you mean and mean what you say.
Would not vote for you.

WAY too radical.
And who cares about that minor stuff anyway.
By the way, do you have Dog On Car?

While I respect your opinion, I never would have expected a vote from you to start with. Thanks for your honest reply.

Not sure what u consider to be major if that is minor other than the pro life issue. Also, dog on car???? My dogs ashes are in a box on the mantel.

The experience level has completely everything to do with office that is the goal.
I obviously wouldn't vote you for President without some track record of years of experience in important political and potentially important societal roles.

While that is a great concept and prudent course of action; I think recent elections confirm that is not required to win. Also, I'm not looking to run for President, just House of Representatives.

I've often considered the same. After college, if i wind up in ascension, i may run for school board to start

It is not mental weakness when you compare how different candidates are treated by the media. Former V.P. Dan Q. is considered a dumb arse; not saying he's not, but V. P. Joe B gets much better treatment and has said things that make Dan Q look smart.
