State Sen. Nick Jordan, a Republican from Shawnee, has announced his bid to represent the 3rd congressional district, which includes east Lawrence and is currently represented by U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore, a Democrat from Lenexa.Frankly, I've never heard of Jordan. Anyone who knows anything about his policy stances is encouraged to comment. But good luck to you anyway Nick, I think you'll need it.
Moore doesn't seem to be too concerned. He told the LJW he isn't even going to start thinking about campaigning until next year (kudos for that). And he probably doesn't have much to worry about, given the current political climate.
But one of the quotes I found particularly interesting:
"He can start the campaign now if he wants, but I'm going to continue on being in Congress and serving my constituents, and I think we've done a good job."A good job? Wow, thanks for clarifying that for me Denny.
I mean, a guy could get the wrong impression, what with the fact that the approval rating for Congress is at its lowest point since Gallup started tracking it 30 years ago.
A new Gallup Poll finds Congress' approval rating the lowest it has been since Gallup first tracked public opinion of Congress with this measure in 1974. Just 18% of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing, while 76% disapprove, according to the August 13-16, 2007, Gallup Poll.But Denny, you just keep telling yourself how good a job your doing. It might just make next year's election campaign mildly interesting.

Dennis Moore is such a loser. Blech. I ran into him once at the Moose when he was there for an unapproved little rally that was being thrown for some chick running for state rep at the time. He walked up to the bar next to me and ordered a chardonnay. Then he paid for it, walked away drinking it (it wasn't for some chick...it was for him! Men drinking chardonnay should be ashamed of themselves. Just have a juice box and be done with it, for chrissakes!), and had left the bartender a whole $.25 for a tip. What a generous guy, eh?
ReplyDeleteFucker...
Heh... Chardonnay... what a douche!
ReplyDeleteI used to live in Nick Jordan's district. He is like all the other conservative Republican weasels in Topeka. He'll tell you to your face that he cares about the people, and then vote to undercut important legislation that helps the most vulnerable populations (disabled, elderly, single moms, low income) live independently, get jobs, and get back on their feet. I guarantee you that Mr. Jordan doesn't care about fixing Health Care in this country!
