Burnt Orange Report

Should we worry that there may exist a "Draft Goodhair" site? I shudder at the thought...

The problem with the Ten Commandments is no one reads them. Particularly the ones on display in the courtrooms around the country. "Thou shalt not bear false witness." Something the district attorneys don't seem to mind when it wins them a conviction and the defense attorneys don't seem to mind when it wins them an acquittal. Most attorneys in this country learn rhetoric not as a means of making effective argument but rather how to lie convincingly. Maybe if kids read them in elementary school, they would remember them later in life. Sorry but I agree 100% with him. I'm sick of the "Enron Ethics" that has permeated this country. So are quite a few others.

If you look at his campaign finance report, he has quite a few individuals around the state who are contributing. Power in numbers. And the numbers are there. So don't dismiss his ability to get people to the polls who stopped going to the polls a long time ago. He obviously is getting them to send in those $100 checks. Most of his money seems to be in those $100 checks from average people. Not $1,000 checks from the attorneys and the "fat cats" in the corporate offices. As someone put it just the other day, you not only get who you vote for, you get who they have sold themselves to. The only people Kinky Friedman appears to have sold himself to are average Texans wanting someone to finally represent them instead of the attorneys and the "fat cats" who as we consistently see in the campaign finance reports of the "party candidates" sometimes write $100,00 checks.

If it were between him and Perry, I would take the cokehead over the real dopehead. Sigmund Freud used cocaine for ten years. I don't see anyone dismissing Sigmund Freud because of it.
