I'm In. Are You?

I’m in. I’m running for Congress.

I’m running because I promised Charlaina and Rick that I would. Charlaina called me a few weeks ago, from the hospital. She told me that her husband, Rick, was suffering from multiple organ failure – lungs, kidneys and liver.

Rick was 56 years old. That’s three years older than me.

Rick was a veteran. But the Veterans Administration wasn’t covering his hospital bills.

Rick had had a bad liver since he was 30, when he contracted hepatitis. No insurance company would go near him.

Every day Rick survived, his family owed several thousand dollars more to hospitals and doctors. And they had no way to pay it.

I told Charlaina how sorry I was. And I told her that I wasn’t in Congress anymore, so I wasn’t sure how I could help.

She said: “You can run again.”

“You are the only person who ever cared about people like us. Rick wants people in Congress who can’t be bought and sold. Rick wants you to run again.”

A dying man wants me to run for Congress. What exactly could I say?

I promised that I would run.

Rick died on June 30, 2011, at 5:55 p.m.

I’m keeping my promise. I’m in.

For the four million people in Florida who can’t see a doctor when they are sick, and the fifty million nationwide, I’m in.

For the 70% of all homeowners in Orlando who owe more than they own on their home, and the 25% nationwide who are “underwater,” and feel like they are drowning, I’m in.

For the six million Americans who haven’t worked in six months and are seeing their benefits running out, for the eight million more who are unemployed, and for the eight million on top of that who can find only part-time work, I’m in.

For the millions of parents who have absolutely no idea how to pay for a college education for their children, I’m in.

And for everyone who is appalled by the prospect that we may cut Social Security and Medicare benefits as we spend more than $150 billion a year on three unnecessary wars and almost $100 billion a year on the Bush tax cuts for the rich, I’m in.

I’m in. And I’m going to need your help. Are you in?

Grayson is a drive-by shooter at DU, and the DUmmies are too stupid to see it.  The only time he posts there is when he is begging for money.  Hey DUmmies, notice how he never, ever responds to any posts after he gets you to send him money?  Nah, didn't think so. 
But, I liked those of you asking him to primary President PitchingWedge.  So, you'd have a dick challenge an a$$hole?  I think the taint would be offended.

Hoopster Barry isn't worried about a nutbag like Grayson, but I love the fact that the DUmmies think he should be.

Capitalism is based on self-interest and self-esteem; it holds integrity and trustworthiness as cardinal virtues and makes them pay off in the marketplace, thus demanding that men survive by means of virtue, not vices. It is this superlatively moral system that the welfare statists propose to improve upon by means of preventative law, snooping bureaucrats, and the chronic goad of fear.

Won't you run for president so that we can all vote for you?

You don't need to worry about name recognition or campaign contributions. 15 minutes on TV and viewers will never forget you.

Thanks for not becoming discouraged. America needs you.

:lmao:  Crude, yet colorful.  H5.  I'm rowing over; this is rich.  

I read the thread and laughed and laughed all the way through it.  They all immediately fall on their knees and open wide; he never returns to give a comment or a thanks to those who were foolish enough to give him their last $20.  They want him to drop these plans immediately and run for president. 

DUmmies, Alan doesn't really love you.  You should feel used, abused, and taken for granted.  Have some self-respect for God's sake.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I told her that I wasn’t in Congress anymore, so I wasn’t sure how I could help.

You could have used that small fortune you are sitting on, and helped.

I'd even contribute to his freaking campaign if he ran for President.

That's an excellent point.  Grayson is very wealthy, he may as well pounded the last nail into the guy's coffin.  Of course, the story is one of those fake "real people" stories democrats love to speachify about.  They think they're tugging your heartstrings, but it sounds sooo manipulative and slimey.  I don't buy their violin music, they're out only for number one.

Did that involve one of those plastic contraptions with a manual vacuum pump, or the deluxe electric model?

That bastard Buffer has ruined a lot of sports. Every half-assed basketball and baseball PA announcer in the country tries to sound like him,
attracting attention to himself instead of the game. It makes it better to watch on TV instead of attending live.
