In a comment on my previous post, John Ballenger was nominated for governor, convincing me to, indeed, vote. John Ballenger will be my "write-in" candidate and will take Blackwell and Stickland by storm. I may assume the role of Ballenger for Governor Campaign Chairperson. Our platform motto will be: "Ballenger: Fair and Balanced" Oh... wait... that's Fox News. "Ballenger: Because Libertarian Socialist Independency is Our Only Answer"
Actually, I really am still having a dilemna as to whether or not to cast my vote on a ballot this November.
Matthew 5:38-48, NASB
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If anyone want to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? If you greet only you brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."

The other day at our church staff meeting a friend said she had watched the gubernatorial debate and her final decision was that Balckwell is a "douche bag". It was a funny statement and resulted in a hysterical reaction from the rest of the pastoral staff.
Also, I can't vote for anyone who used to body slam me onto the couch and torment me in the back seat of the car on the way to grandma's house. I would rather vote for a douche bag.
Blood, apparently, isn't thicker than body slams and torment. I think I'll pass on the campaign if I can't get my own brother to vote for me. Thanks anyway Trav...
Say it ain't so, John. Say it ain't so.
It has been an incredible ride and I appreciate all of your support and hard work on my Gubernatorial race (by "all of your support" I mean Travis and Jeremy not my brother). It seems like only last week that Travis was proclaiming me as his write-in vote. Look how far we've come since then! (pause for rousing applause from Travis and Jeremy while my brother stands with folded arms...) I entered this race to increase public dialogue, and of course to say bad things about James Dobson. I think we have at least accomplished the later. I now throw my support firmly behind anyone who can be honest for more than 10 consecutive minutes... well, how about 5 minutes? God will you spare us if you can find someone who can be honest for 10 consecutive sentences? Damn. I'm just going to go read a book. Goodbye.
