Jerry Wilson at Viva La Revolucion:
How embarrassing, the Oregon Progressive Party bosses who invited me to run ten months ago suddenly changed their minds at the filing deadline. Or somebody changed their minds for them – somebody whose name starts with a big D I suspect.
There is no question I would have given the race to Dudley had I been on the ballot. Polls have had me as high as 7%, all coming at Kitzhaber’s expense. Had I been in the Voters Pamphlet that number would have climbed greatly when people saw what I was promising to do – end government for sale, end the drug war and found a state bank.
I accepted the invitation to run for governor knowing I could never win. I just wanted a chance to let my fellow citizens know what could be done, must be done. Maybe the winner will take some of my suggestions. Clearly, neither has a clue how to fix this mess we’re in.
My sincere apology to those of you who supported my run. Shot down in flames I was, by friendly fire.
“Shot down in flames I was, by friendly fire.”
How much is it possible?
Maybe the Progressive Party didn’t agree with your stance on chemical castration for certain criminals and the elimination of teachers unions and all other unions within the government? At least I hope they didn’t…
