Am I A Hypocrite?

As some of you may know, I'm a candidate in my home town for school committee.

Scroll down to the fourth story, School Committee Race (louis c)

Anyway, I've been going door to door for a month, and I've been very successful in putting many bumper stickers on cars.

Last night, I placed one on a Ford Expedition with a New York Yankee logo.I'm a big Red Sox fan but that didn't bother me. Tonight's did.

A young man about 23 years old came to the door and very enthusiastically greeted me. He actually knew that I favored expanded gaming to help fund the schools in our town, we have two tracks. sort of the same position as Broward County, where labor beat Jeb Bush to have slot machines installed at Gulf Stream Race Course.

Now, the rest of the story, he wanted to put a sticker on his car and when I looked, he had a Bush Cheney '04 sticker on his bumper. Anyone who has read my posts know that I depise George Bush with all my being. I tried to persuade him to cover that sticker with mine, but to no avail, I put my sticker on his back window, and on his bumper is still his President Asshole sticker.

Question again is, "Am I a hypocrite?"

1. No. He is the hypocrite. nt

[louis c]

You're correct

I'm just a politician, I guess.

Now, is that just as bad?

[strategery blunder]

4. There are two kinds of politicians

The honest kind who really believe they're in it for the public service, and the Tom DeLay kind who want to rape their authority and line their pockets.

I would bet money (if it was legal) that you are the former. Just be wary of what power you might gain, lest you let it corrupt you.;)

11. Thanks

I hope I measure up to the former, but it really is determined by what others think.

I'll try.

and I'm a DUer.

2. No, unless you don't want Republicans to vote for you

3. It means you

Have cross-over appeal.

You win, do a good job and in 2008 he's voting for the Democrat.

5. I am not a big fan of expanded gaming

but that is another discussion.
Hypocrisy aside, you could lose friends with that association. If I see another candidate beside a W sticker I would be very inclined to not support that candidate either.

6. Nope. If you can't get them to do the right thing nationally, at least you

will get them to do the right thing locally.

(Aside: but man, I wish governments would stop promiting gambling!)

[Swamp Rat]

7. No, but he might be.

He's certainly not very informed, but he's making progress thanks to you. :)

Good luck! I hope you win! :kick:

8. Ahhhh Louis,

I don't think you're a hypocrite, but if it were me.. I'd just be thankful that a Repug is voting "for the candidate", and not the party.

His taste in presidential candidates is PATHETIC. But you have to give him some credit if he thinks you're his guy for school board... because in that instance, he's right! :)

Track him down if possible and give him a sticker. B-) It shows other people of his political persuasion that when it comes to your school district, you're the guy! :applause:

9. If your goal is to get elected

You get your advertisments out wherever you can. If you goal is to win moral\political debates one on one, then you argue with the guy and maybe he tells you and your sticker to take a hike.

10. No, he's a moron
