Bill Foster Must Be Disappointed
by Andy Haaf
I wonder what Congressmen Bill Foster thinks of Senator Biden as the choice for Vice President? Hum, let’s see what his website has to say on the matter:
"most often our country is put at risk by good people who have been in Washington so long that they start confusing their own interests and those of their party with the true interests of our nation. And when that happens, the people of the United States have usually had the good sense to thank their long-serving party and long-serving representatives for their way-too-long service, hand out the gold retirement watches, and rinse the system clean. As much as anything, that is what this election is about."
Given this statement, Congressman, when can citizens of the 14th District expect to hear your formal protest and disappointment of this selection? If you truly believe what you say, then how could you consider Senator Biden the appropriate choice given he has been Senator since 1973? Yes kids, that is over 30 years!
Surely you will not go back on your word and proudly announce your support for this ticket, will you? Surely you believe Senator Biden should be getting fitted for a new "gold retirement watch" instead of preparing to ride shotgun in Air Force One, right?
You have a tremendous opportunity Congressman. You get to show the people in your district we can believe in you by standing up even in the face of harsh criticism from your own party.
So my question to you is this … "Will you?"
