Anybody know about this guy, or have opinions? I just saw on CBS website that he is thinking about running against Hillary Clinton for the democratic nomination.
 

Maybe after becoming a Democrat he wants to be recognized wearing blue instead of red. Maybe he thinks he has something to say. That would be refreshing. No one's going to be upset about his entering the race so he has nothing to loose. This is all my idle speculation. We'll find out soon enough.
 

I certainly agree with him on Iraq and as QS has pointed out in other posts, it would be good to have more than one candidate on the Democratic side. I'm interested in learning more about him.
 
Now if we can get Bernie in.. At least we would have a primary, and debates..., and progressive ideas put out there.. hopefully bringing Hillary back to the left.
 
You are going to love Linc! His running for prez brought a giggle here in his home state and some were looking at their calendars to see if it was April Fools Day. His big accomplishment as Governor was changing our official Christmas tree to a Holiday tree. But as a senator he was one of the few to vote against the war in Iraq. He has been a local councilman and mayor and became a U.S. Senator upon his father!s death, a revered R.I. Republican senator. Not liking Republican policies he became an Independent and then a Democrat. He only garnered 34% of the vote to become governor due to the number of candidates so he didn't have a mandate, and as we have a weak governor strong legislature system with the speaker of the house the power in the state with a most recent one currently off to jail for corruption, but that is another story...
 
He is a super Lefty and the Hollywood crowd is going to love him. And you will, too, as his first career was shoeing horses...
 
All that came out of his mouth was bashing poor old Hillary. Nicole Wallace is very irritating. Sheesh.
 
What is his position on medical pot? Rand says he'll legalize, Jeb says he'll leave it up to the states, I haven't heard Hillary's position.
I'm against warmongering and Lincoln voted against the Iraq war. I like that.
 
All anyone can do is bash Hillary... THat's going to get old real soon... Folks are going to get tired of hearing it.. We need to hear what their positions are... not how much they hate hillary... We have had 6 years of Obama bashing.. and it's tiring

I don't know who "Linc" is...
 
Read my offering on this thread. I know him very well and if you like a far left politician you are going to love Linc...:love_heart:

It is probably because he is a male...

Is that what you think about my intelligence Ralph? That is pretty insulting to me. First you insinuate that just because someone is hard left that I will automatically support him.... even if he is a crackpot... Now you insinuate I may not like him because he is a male? You are cute sometimes Ralph... but this time TOO cute by half.
 
Well, you could be right about some things, but our boy is not a crackpot, at least not to some...:eek:nthego:

I can't take 19 months of campaigning. I may have to ask the Dame for directions to Coober Pedy.

Coober Pedy is in South Australia, just a bit north of Adelaide on the Stuart Highway.
Actually 850 km of endlessly interesting scenery

You could fly there of course. This is the airport

And stay in the hotel - underground like everything else, of course.

I saw a documentary about Coober Pedy and I did find it beautiful. Thank you for the 'directions'. ♡
