Tony Zirkle, one for the road as I depart from any thought of him and leave his 15 minutes of fame in the dust.  Perhaps he will have another 15 minutes of fame in two years, but no matter.:  In the 2008 primary, I probably had more negative attacks directed my way than any other congressional candidate in the nation.  I invited it and deserved it.  I knew that I’d take a major hit this year, especially when the democrat (sic) presidential race nearly monopolized the press.

I didn’t have a chance to explain why my positions, which surely appeared to be novel to much of the public, were correct and best for this nation. Additionally, the Republican non-leadership would not allow debates and dis-invited me to speak before voters. I couldn’t get even one of my economic proposals substantially published to the public in the local media. I was shooting for 20%, and it looks like I’ll get close to that.

And his campaign he deems a success.  The idea of speaking before a giant photograph of Adolf Hitler in a celebration of his birthday?  Brilliant campaign ploy!  But, alas, a bit disingenuous in terms of saying “don’t know what that group is all about.”  (Shouldn’t Bill White have had a problem with that line?)

I engaged in an experiment to see if the Great Porn Dragon could withstand my onslaught of humor. He can, or perhaps, I’m just not as funny as I think I am.

He has hemmoraged votes.  Down to 16 percent of the vote.  Does this make a mass movement squelched by the Republican Party machinery?  I don’t know; I don’t think so.

Meanwhile, the interesting little experiment of blogging.  Looking around, I see that two people took an especially strong interest in leaving comments to blogs relating to this controvery.  Tony Zirkle, for one.  And, Bill White.  I get Bill White, (and news reports stating he lists a website at “nazi.org” seem to fail to mention that that leads to… The Libertarian National Socialist Green Party, which makes some things hard to take seriously); this guy gets Tony Zirkle.  How one happens to one place and

But now I can turn my attention to waiting for the next election campaign of Gordon Allen Pross.  Not a Nazi, but entertaining nonetheless.  (25 percent of the vote in a 1998 general US House election!)
