Now, after I share what I have to say you may think that I have an ego half the size of the state of Arkansas but, chances are, you won’t be under the impression that My Dad thinks I am an idiot and he’s just some dude that was married to my mom for a few years. Now my FLM family knows that this is not the case because I was quite surprised how many folks were surprised to hear that Dad was “technically” my “step dad” but for a few Conservative folk who hang out in and around the capital, allow me to set the record straight and I will tell you why I feel it necessary to do so. I am running for Congress next year, and I am going to be “competitive” however, I do live in reality and I saw first hand via Bishop Jackson’s campaign that oratory alone will not take the day. I am also aware that I am challenging the best “funded” congressional candidate in the History of our Great nation. I am willing to bet that he has so much money stashed away in so many different places that in reality he has access to and control of more money than you will find on the books. He has to or he wouldn’t have tabled the First STOCK act with it’s 245 co-sponsors. And I think it’s because if he can’t buy, sell, and trade using privileged information he wants to be able to do so on behalf of his wife and kids. I believe that was the biggest difference between the first STOCK act which Majority Leader never allowed to come up for a vote and the second which was later passed and signed into law. Oh, btw, I have also made a spreadsheet of every single individual that has donated money to the Eric Cantor Victory fund and his other various funds. Because for the first time in my life I’m about “the money”. It’s funny, because I have a weird relationship with money, I understand it’s importance but in other ways I despise it. I never want to go without but I also know how to get “Everything for Free”, like the K’s choice song, or on “the cheap”. Speaking of K street and a certain someone who sometimes I think has the most sense out of everybody in the Republican Party (and he’s a lobbyist ironically) lol. A lobbyist who understands voter perception, public mood, the press, political strategy and game theory exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond that of his Republican friends. And again, he is a lobbyist, lol. Maybe I’m the only one who finds it strange that during the government strategy, out of all of my Conservative friends, a lobbyist was sticking his neck out there, and coming under fire by some of his friends for advocating that, while Obamacare might suck, the Republican Strategy sucks more and it will only hurt the party’s image with the majority of Americans. And yeah, he’s a lobbyist, and a friend who I hope has not forgotten about his friend’s mini internship request. I understand how Washington works and I understand K street, but I’ve never worked or spent anytime there and I need to if I’m going to understand it the way that I want and need to. I’m also going to be providing some half time musical entertainment at a few Washington Wizards B-Ball games this year, so I’m going to be in DC a little more so it would be nice to chat, tag along, and volunteer my services. I don’t know if I have any that might be of use to you at this point, but I am not above cleaning an office, getting breakfast, coffee, or scrubbing a toilet for that matter. I will make that porcelain shine, and do it unto the Glory of God, lol.. to quote my Daddy ;) So with that said, no my friends, Dad does not think I’m an idiot. And he loves me very, very much. And I find it amusing that I find myself in a situation where I must give evidence to prove my Dad takes and returns my calls. And, to a certain Va. Senator, I’m glad he does, because in my (maybe biased) opinion, he also happens to be THE BEST at what he does. And what does he do? A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING! But at the very least he is my Dad and a friend and wise council to talk to when I think I know what’s going on but “I just want to make sure” that my conclusions are correct. And yeah, as far as “shop” goes.. in politics and policy, I bet’cha Dad and I are in agreement 99% of the time. Because Dad is wise and so am I, I know him, his mind, his moods, and how he thinks. As I am quite fond of telling “the boss” aka my Aunt C., who is fond of asking me: “What does George think?”, and like I am fond of telling her, I haven’t asked him but I can tell you exactly what he is going to say, and then I do my Dad impression, which would be spot on IF, I could impersonate the bass and baritone in his voice, but alas, I cannot for I am a tenor, but despite this.. I usually can predict with the accuracy of a prophet how my Dad will answer a question –AND- what questions he won’t answer.. or at least won’t give me the answer that HE KNOWS I am fishing for. He’ll say “God is Good”, “Remember to Pray”, or like you will see in the screenshot of one of those pictures: “He is Risen”, lol. I knew Dad was not going to give me his legal opinion whether our Attorney General was wrong in questioning the legality of the Transportation Compromise. However, his “non-answer” told me all and everything I needed to know. You can’t imagine how much I love my Dad. I love my Dad just as much as I love my Mom. He is the only Dad that I have ever known on earth and he has never treated me as anything else other than his son. And in conclusion, To whom it may concern, please do not make the mistake of assuming that sometimes “craziness” of my personal life runs through or crosses over into my professional. Those are apples & oranges my former friend. I suppose I am like some women I know in that regard. At work they are running thing like the forces of nature in pumps that they are, but after work they are in their sweat suit watching t.v., eating ice cream, or on the phone with me hoping to laugh because they fell in love with a douche bag and they know he’s a douche bag but they love them and they can’t help it. We all have our personal drama, and some of my ex-wife and sister drama is beyond crazy and I don’t pretend to have all the answers. I know I want to marry my friend Moni but I can’t tell you for sure what will happen. I think the worst is over, I FINALLY have the divorce papers, and if you’re familiar with Downton Abbey then you will know who Mrs. Bates is. And in my honest opinion, Mrs. Bates doesn’t have anything on Mrs. Brown. I think mean Miss Bates and I could have even made things work.. the actress that played Mrs. Bates also played Catherine of Aragon on “The Tudors” but she was good and pretty in that series and that silly Henry VIII just tossed her aside to marry that sneaky Ann Boleyn (did you know that she had 6 fingers in real life?) anywho, 2013 has been an “interesting” year but I do believe that the worst is over. I can FEEL IT. As I can also feel my Dad’s love for me, even when he doesn’t always understand me. And it’s again “amusing” that I have to devote time proving my Dad doesn’t think I’m freak. But alas, I must because Dad’s opinion is highly valued around here, and I’m truly thankful that I have a TRUE FRIEND who was HONEST with me and told me what was being said about me and by whom. Because it’s kind of hard to raise money when people think you’re off your rocker. In politics, People Love a Winner. So this is why I felt the need to clarify to some of my friends what the real deal is. And Facebook is cool, I can do this ALL AT ONCE just by tap tap tapping away on my keyboard to the sounds of Chris Christie talking about his weight on “This Week” w/ George Stephanopoulos” and the aroma of my coffee, which fuels my ranting lol. Now I’m about to get Kanye West meets Tom Cruise on y’all but like the Wu Tang Clan sing in their song: “Cash moves everything around me Crème, get the money, dollar dollar bills y’all”.. so the question is not the size of my ego but on my grasp on reality. Which I believe is a lot firmer than most of the folks in the Grand Ol’ Party that I used to belong to. And to quote Amy Ferris, “This is what I know” and to quote Eric Brown: “This is what you need to know” my friends who like to donate their time, talents, and money to a candidates and/or a good cause, if you donate to Eric Cantor you’re going to be wasting your time and your money. I promise you CANTOR CANT WIN. And not because I can’t lose, but because after everything on the Dear Leader comes to light, Eric Cantor won’t be able to get elected to dog catcher. Everybody has secrets and “interesting things” in their personal life. Including me.. however, unlike with Cantor, You know about all of mine. It’s strategy my friends. I have a reason for everything I do. Including sounding like a have a huge ego ;) This is what I know: 1) My campaign will have the best strategist that I know in all of politics --- and --- you think I refer to Dad but he ain’t a strategist ;) No, I’m talking about me you silly willy :P 2) My opponent’s I.Q. is probably in the neighborhood of 60 – 70 points below mine. And I’m not accusing him of being Forrest Gump or anything. I just believe that the average reporter can trip him up because it’s not that hard. That might be why he doesn’t give many interviews.. but every once in a while he does and when he does, I never fail to be amazed that this is the Majority Leader of our country. If I had to make an educated guess I would say his I.Q. was somewhere in the 95 to 105 range. I’d put money on it y’all, lol. 3) This is a big one. I’ve got so much dirt on that dude y’all…. You just don’t understand, so my Common sense Conservative friends, it’s going to be me or the democrat. And I can’t say this for sure but when it `comes to politics & strategy 4) I might as well be prophet or the Oracle. Most everything seems to happen exactly the way that I expect it to. However I can be wrong.. I thought Cuccinelli was going to lose by 4 – 6 points, a whole lot more 18 – 24 year olds voted for that dude than I had expected. And if Republicans were smart they would take that as a sign to…….. anywho, moving on.. 5) I like writers and journalists, I don’t constantly talk trash about them and accuse them of taking their marching orders from the Obama administration and all that stupid retarted kool-aid conservative dribble drab I hear every time the topic of the media comes up among Republicans. Also.. in my opinion Journalists are MORE INFORMED than most politicians and they certainly read more bills than our legislators (IN WASHINGTON) do. Those folks literally do nothing but fundraise and caucus (to think of ways to give it to the other guys). They do NOTHING ELSE! But Cantor is King Fundraiser. As the Richmond Times Dispatch (that his wife use to own a part of ) Eric Cantor is a “gifted fundraiser” And yeah, that says something y’all.. isn’t every politician a great and diligent fundraiser. So if you are A GIFTED fundraiser than that tells you all you need to know. But between you and me, that’s about the only thing that dude is gifted in. 6) I will be the funniest politician in the history of politics, I guarantee you that! Funniest candidate in the history of politics! And I’m not going to flood the airwaives with a bunch of commercials but I will have a few, and they’re going to be funny. Very, very funny. Very, very, very, very funny! 7) And let’s say hypothetically that I cannot raise the 6 figure sum that I am shooting for.. I do have a back up plan, that might do in a pinch.. actually, I’ll tell you what it is.. no point in being cryptic here.. I can make the news in a few different ways. and once I do… then I will have more opportunities to ask for contributions. 8) I have a vision. 9) I can express this vision clearly, articulately, concisely, and consistently because, Cantor might be a gifted fundraiser.. but I am a gifted in many things. And considering that most politicians are attorneys, I could be a plumber and be easier to listen to than a lot of you folks, lol. 10) I am going to have lots and lots and lots and lots of volunteers.. the majority of which won’t be old enough to vote.. but we will have so much passion and energy, the Dear Leader aka Mr. Smug can’t purchase that. So in conclusion again I would like to thank my friend and first campaign contributor. I WILL NEVER FORGET IT!!! Or you, if I go as far as my talents, intelligence, ambition, and resources will take me…. I still am going to think of something special to do for you. Not because of the money but because you told me what was being said about me. So Playa, Mi Casa is Su Casa. And I know I might be a “good salesman” but, you also are a little ahead of the curve in “the vision” department yourself ;) So yes, I thank you and I promise that I will put your gift to good use :0 So without further ado: I would like to call this next picture series:
