The Pa. State Committee would not save me postage with my political mailing. The reason was given because I had a Canadian Flag along side of The American Flag on my lapel.
This was a sad excuse when Canada is one of our biggest allies. Basically I ran my campaign as an independent.
Let me try to understand this.....first your were a Democrat, then a Republican and now an Independent????? What will you be next week????
ReplyDeleteA couple things which crossed my mind:
ReplyDelete1.) The PAGOP most likely realized you were not going to win the mayoral election, and wished to focus on more pertinent races (like the Superior and Supreme court justices' election), which the GOP had a decent shot at winning. So instead of hurting your feelings by telling you that your race was not viable and you faced certain defeat, they used the "flag" issue as an excuse.
AND
2.) Another question is WHY would you have a Canadian flag on your lapel, next to the American flag? Are you from Canada? Most Americans simply wear the American flag on their lapel. Wouldn't having the Union Jack have been a better choice, since Great Britain has been more of an ally especially for the war in Iraq/War on Terror, while Canada has refused to send troops or participate in the war? ("Canada has nevertheless maintained an independent foreign policy, most notably maintaining full relations with Cuba and declining participation in the Iraq War." - Wikipedia article on Canada)
I AM STILL LAUGHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still don't know what I was waiting for
ReplyDeleteAnd my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But stil the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't tell t hem to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time
Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon you're gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time
