billvon 3,133 #1 July 7, 2010 This guy could give Sarah Palin a run for her money: ==================== Alvin Greene: America's most unlikely politician The journey to the home of one of the most enigmatic figures to emerge into the American political scene involves a drive deep into rural South Carolina. The road, bullet straight and lined with tall firs and pines, continues for miles with only an occasional Jehovah's Witnesses church to break the monotony. . . . "I was hoping that it would be big so I would be able to get my message out to as many folks as possible: getting South Carolina and America back to work, bringing South Carolina and America back. And it's not just America. We have got to get the world back to work and bring the world back. So it's a message that has to reach folks and it's something that I'm pursuing and it's going good." At one point, he lurches off on his big idea for how to create jobs in South Carolina. "Another thing we can do for jobs is make toys of me, especially for the holidays. Little dolls. Me. Like maybe little action dolls. Me in an army uniform, air force uniform, and me in my suit. They can make toys of me and my vehicle, especially for the holidays and Christmas for the kids. That's something that would create jobs. So you see I think out of the box like that. It's not something a typical person would bring up. That's something that could happen, that makes sense. It's not a joke." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Andy9o8 3 #7 July 8, 2010 Maybe it was tongue in cheek?

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites scruffy 0 #10 July 8, 2010 Not that I haven't been enjoying this situation thoroughly, but Mr. Greene is making a pretty strong case for closed primaries. Open primaries are designed to keep candidates gravitating towards the middle if I understand the concept correctly, but there's really no safeguard from shenanigans like what's going on in SC right now. When I'm more qualified for the senate than a given candidate, things are not in good shape.Peace, love and hoppiness Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Bolas 5 #11 July 8, 2010 Quote Maybe it was tongue in cheek?
