I feel dirty
by Jon on Sep.29, 2007, under Babble, Politics
I just made my first financial contribution EVER to a major party candidate. Yeah, it creeped me out a little. But Bill Richardson is the first major party candidate I ever thought was actually right for the job. I use the phrase “right for the job” quite precisely. It doesn’t mean I think he’s my ideological soulmate. It means I think he has the right combination of experience, leadership, and “good enough” positions on every major issue to actually do the job we’re hiring someone to do: get this car out of the ditch and back on the road. And most importantly…
Did you hear Jay Leno this week, talking about Wednesday’s Presidential debate?
“Hillary and Barack and John Edwards, they said setting a timetable for a complete withdrawal is irresponsible. And pulling out troops basically depends on the situation on the ground. Otherwise known as ‘the Bush plan.’ Hello?”
Jay got it exactly right.
Vote for them, and you get more of the same. Vote for Bill Richardson, and you get a commitment to pull our troops out of Iraq and END THIS WAR.
You can make it happen. Help Governor Richardson win!
Tomorrow night the fundraising quarter ends. Your support NOW will make a crucial difference to our grassroots campaign.
