Originally Posted By ecdc Oh, and for the record, so it just doesn't look like I'm picking on Republicans, I could care less what the guy said, whether it was an accident or not, etc. It may not be politically advisable for a politician to use the F word, but personally, I give a rat's behind. For all I care the guy could use 100 f-bombs in his interview. What's he saying in between those words though? What policies is he advocating? Is he distancing himself from conservative crazies or is he joining them? Is he an advocate for government helping we, the people, or is he another one of these jokers that thinks government's terrible, so naturally he wants to work in it? That's what I'm interested in.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Former professional football player Jay Riemersma announced Monday that he is running for Congress in Michigan in 2010. The GOP candidate is running for the seat being vacated by Rep. Peter Hoekstra, a Republican vying to become the next governor of Michigan. Riemersma set up an exploratory committee in June, but made it official on Monday with a speech in Holland, Michigan. Comparing Congress to the National Football League, the former Buffalo Bills tight end promised to "never vote to raise your taxes." "I'm announcing my candidacy today because we need a Republican renaissance – a return to our conservative principles of governance – and I'm ready to help lead this movement," Riemersma said, in remarks released by his campaign. Since retiring from professional sports, Riemersma has been working for the conservative Family Research Council and coaching high school football. In November 2008, he penned a letter to the editor in the Holland Sentinal entitled "How could Christians vote for Obama?" In the article, he said that "faith should permeate every aspect of our lives" and said any Christian who chose to support Barack Obama's presidential bid did so "from a lack of understanding." "Too many Christians shroud their God-given light with misguided intentions and uninformed choices," Riemersma wrote. "Moving forward to the next election, I implore all Christians to base their vote not on a political party or a polished politician, but rather on Biblical principle." GO, JESUS! BEAT DEMOCRATS! TWO, FOUR, INFINITY, PI! DON'T SUPPORT THAT MIXED-RACE GUY!
