Common Man



The following is in response to my first post about Bobby. Granted that post might seem to a few to be edgy but it was only echoing what other blogs were posting. I did tone it down a tad, since I really did not need to re-state others opinions:

I received a phone call the other night from an irate person, with another person chirpping opinions in the back ground. Muttering stuff like: if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say it all and blah blah blah. The person on the phone went on to say we are trying to get this kid elected and you are cutting him to shreds with your posts. I told the caller, You should see how the other, more widely read blogs slice and dice Bobby and other political candidates, this is MY BLOG and it is just MY OPINION. Shortly after that the phone conversation ended.

I remember thinking to myself, Bobby maybe young but he is no kid. Just a man taking a huge bite out of the political pizza. Sometimes you get a neat bite and sometimes the cheesy strings just do not let go and the roof of your mouth gets burned. Nope, NOT a KID just a Common Man trying to do the right thing.

As a side note:
I was promised a phone call! A conversation between two common men.

Hi. Welcome to the world of backlash. All political candidates enter the public competition knowing it is a competition and that their lifestyles, words and writings will be analyzed and criticized. Lots of people don't enter the competition for that very reason. Everybody knows the old Truman line about 'heat and kitchens.'
