Primaries are next week and if any of y'all live in District 42 I would encourage you to vote for my boss.  
|
well that wasn't very nice mister! Your vote doesn't even count I don't think you live in Dist. 42! quit trying to ruin my campaign thread!!   Plus if he goes to office more than likely *hopefully* I will be his legislative aid at the capitol which probably means another raise!
|
Habs, I've found young legislative assistants to be polite, very attentive when meeting with constituents, and totally without integrity when they promise something. Very much like the elected legislators they work for. You REALLY don't want to go that way, do you? 
|
Though I have only worked with my boss in the legal arena for about a year I respect him which is more than I can say for the last lawyer I worked for. I honestly do not think he will turn into a "all about me" politician. As for myself I would quit my job before compromising my integrity. Further I find it hard to work for someone for whom I have no respect for, so should he ever follow down such a path I would quit working for him. I love politics though and I thrive off of the whole atmosphere in a way. Anyway I think it would be a great experience and wonderful networking if it doesn't turn into a full time job.  but i am still young and have much to learn |
If you learn how to cook possum, you don't need to worry about that.

It all depends on the path you choose in life. Be it the political side or actually give a shit down to business side. ETA he is a Democrat So we can pretty much sum up what this man is about. You are brave coming here trying to rally our support to a person of his character and political ties. Is he pro Obama? I will put my money on yes. You guys also need to fix your website. Everything important on that thing is BROKEN. If he can not even maintain his own domain on the internet for his business how the hell is anyone supposed to believe that he will maintain his office as he should. ETA x2 Also on the topic of education, Smalley said that the possibility of allowing guns on college campuses - a proposal that failed during the 2008 session - needs to be studied more. Security on the campuses of colleges and public schools is an issue, but guns may not be the solution, he said. Other avenues need to be considered, he added. Since you are here to rally his support then this question is posed to you. What is his solution? What are these other avenues to be considered? ETA x3 Here are some more impotant questions for you and him. What has he ever done o serve his country, county, or state? What has he done for the Vetrans community? Has he ever taken cases or persued cases that he felt was in anyones intrest but his own for FREE? Did he ever go the extra mile for an obvious injustice to make things right? I will stop there at the moment. |
I am sorry that i do not have more sufficient answers for you right now Fister. And i suppose that i should be prepared to answer your questions since i did post a thread in favor of this candidate. 
|
Damn, i just got grilled by Fister, thanks for the good joke Dan!
|
I look forward to his responses. While your at it ask him if he is currently in support of the war. I am talking about today. Also ask if his view has ever changed and when and why? ETA - Habbs I am not attacking you, please dont take it personal in any way. His standpoints are in queston here, however you brought it to an open venue. Unfortionatly you happen to be my only information feed to him and it seems apporpriate as you brought it up.

I can only assume that he would vote McCain seeing how he is not pro-Obama. You're right several people raise families in the military, however, he chose not to and I do not fault him for it. Also I wasn't trying to give him credit for thinking about or intending on joining. It was simple a statement that was relevant to your question. I, personally, have not seen him pick up the tab for a less fortunate person, but I am only with him at work. I can say he buys me lunch quite often, although I would not consider myself a less fortunate person. I am not saying that he doesn't support the troops or veteran's affairs I just don't know of an example to give to you. It would be easy to go to the air port and greet the troops and I will mention that to him because I think it is a wonderful idea. he drives a 2002 or 2003 Honda accord. Yes Honda's are good cars, but I would hardly call it something luxurious. His wife drives I think a 2005 ford explorer or something similar. and I stated that yes he does pro-bono work. which is doing work on the clients behalf for free. There is no benefit for the attorney besides the pure joy of helping someone that otherwise would not be able to obtain an attorneys help. So I would consider that to be selfless and no it is not tax deductible work. Really though how many of our politicians do such things? Yes he should be different and I believe he will be separate from the stereotypical politician, but you have to remember this is his first rodeo. He is just getting his political career going. And as a beginner he is not going to know it all and do everything that you have mention/requested. They are great suggestions. I can understand some of this stuff being relevant but not all of it. what kind of car a person drives does not solely dictate what kind of person they are or how much of a kind heart they have. Fister - I am not taking it as a personal attack. I understand that i do not have all the answers to your questions and i should be more prepared to convince someone to vote for the candidate that i support. Although i do not live in dist. 42. Anyway no hard feelings! |

I asked Ivan Holmes, state Dem Chairman, point blank how the Democratic party platform differed from the Republicans on specific issues, He couldn't or wouldn't answer. I did the same thing with the Rep state chairman and got the same kind of response. It doesn't matter what party they belong to anymore. You can't tell them apart on issues. 
|
Heres one thing that I've noticed this year that really bothers me. McCain says that he will do whats best for the country, not for the party. Democrats all say that they will do whats best for the party. Reminds me of the way the communists used to speak. Now before you all jump on me I'm not a big McCain fan. I'm actually looking at third party candidates. You can also spare me the "you're throwing your vote away" crap I havent come to a decision yet. I have almost decided to leave the republican party though. Well, truth be told they have left me Habs, why is he a democrat? Sounds like he could be a republican. |
He's a conservative democrat. I think that's why I agree with some of his view points, not all, but some. I think the biggest thing we disagree on are issues concerning the military/war/etc... And I am assuming because of those issues is the reason why he is registered democrat. |
You could just tell her to shut her damn pie hole too. Thats probably just the old NCO in me slipping out. Never worked around female soldiers really.........
|
Or you could just stick your foot in her ass! That's probably the football coach in me coming out! I have never coached a female before but it works with mouthy male athletes. Ask Sumoj he has seen me do it. Now that I think of it I've seen him do it too.
|
If you are an NCO and you allow such behavior you need to be demoted back to SPC and or chaptered out of the .mil. This kind of behavior is the #1 reason our military is on the decline. |
hahahahahahhahahahahah  , just read his name.I consider myself an independant, but I'm registered as a democrat, hadn't voted for a dem in quite a while though, they been spouting out too many liberal point of views that I just can't agree with. as for mccain, I don't like some of the dude's ideas, but I see him as the lessor of two evils. |
I haven't had a chance to sit down and discuss it with him yet. I have been slammed with these two stupid cases right now. Gosh sometimes it really pisses me off how the law or certain judges will screw people over! I don't even want to get started on that shit again. Anyway I think I am campaigning with him this weekend so I should have a chance then! Don't worry I haven't forgotten about you Fister!
|
Damn, FISTer is good. He already has Habs acknowledging that he is a gun grabber!
|
hahaha.... we have yet to determine if Mr. Smalley is a gun grabber or not ETA cut me some slack. I was previously distracted tonight and am not thinking clearly enough to catch such little things.
|
Well Habbs we will be getting together at the show this weekend. You going to make it? Or join us for lunch? Maybe he can join you and we can pick on him a bit for pleasure and entertainment. |
Metcalf show in OKC this weekend Habs. I have a thread on it. I personally would rather be poked in the eye with a stick than to go and hang out in Pauls Valley. However, if I was a budding politico sucking up to voters.......................
