Caroline Kennedy

Just Say No to Caroline Kennedy

I know some of my lefty (pussy-whipped liberal) friends will debate me on this, but I don’t think that Caroline Kennedy should run for Hillary’s seat in the Senate. I think the charitable work Caroline has done is tremendous and I think she should continue that work. We have enough, Bush’s, Doles, Clintons and Kennedys serving in Washington, we need some more Wellstones, which Caroline is not.

The reason nothing gets done for the people of this nation in Washington, is because the people representing us, have no clue who we are. Caroline may be a nice lady and all but she has lived a very priviledged life. Do us all a favor Caroline and don’t run for senate.

It seems I have some people in agreement with me.

Alexander Hamilton, a deist, a founding father and our first Treasury Secretary did not run for president because he had to admit to his peers that he was paying some guy to screw his wife.

Another letter to the editor about how our country was founded under God (ironically by deists);

Our country was founded on the words “In God we trust” and “One country under God.”

The letter writer doesn’t mention Christianity, so I hope she knows that the founding fathers were referring to all references of God not just Christianity. And BTW “one nation under God” was not added to the pledge of allegience until the 20th century to scare the Russians.

It seems these upstanding members of our community can’t do simple math. Just read this Gargoyle Leader article about building a new stadium (that we do not need)

The Stats:

HOWARD WOOD

Seats: 10,000

Record crowd to date: 8,250

Upgrade costs: $6.4 million (already budgeted)

NEW STADIUM

Could seat:  15,000 – 25,000

Cost: $20-25 Million (this does not include Howard Wood demolition costs)

I guess I’m wondering why we need to build a new 25,000 seat stadium when we are not even close to capacity at Howard Wood? This is a back door attempt to build a new events center where the current Howard Wood is at.

First things first; 1) You need a funding source besides sales tax 2) you need to prove there is a NEED for the new EC. We cannot currently fill the Arena, the Orpheum, Howard Wood field or the Washington Pavilion as it is.

Like I have said before, table the EC idea for another 5-7 years unless you want to build it with private money, taxpayers are not interested in getting gouged more during this recession.
