some Screwballs in Massachusetts think a baseball pitcher can govern better than Kerry..

This same thinking allowed a fake Texan to steal the WH and bog the country down in an unnecessary war...

Curt Schilling...steroids?, I didn't see any steroids? What steroids?....

[MrSlayer]

1. He'll vote the straight Jesus line.

No need to think.

[JackRiddler]

32. He did once display stigmata...

Live on national TV, in a very important game. Remember the bloody ankle?

[rockymountaindem]

2. No, some screwballs in Massachusetts

think that the voters are dumb enough to embrace a candidate who doesn't represent their interests just because he's one of the most famous Boston sports figures of the last 25 years. They also think they can just tell him what to do once he gets to the Senate.

9. It didn't work with Steve Largent in Oklahoma

and it didn't work with Lynn Swann in Pennsylvania.

It did work with Bill Bradley in Delaware.
But he was a Democrat. And a smart one, too.

[Postman]

12. Bradley = New Jersey

[Art_from_Ark]

26. D'oh!

:dunce:

[Little Wing]

3. First I've heard of this nightmare

[Gman]

4. He'll do about as well as Lynn Swann

Neither Roger Staubach nor Nolan Ryan even took the GOP upon its offer for them to run for statewide office in Texas.

Sports and politics do not mix.

[AX10]

5. He'll stall at 33% of the vote.

[deadparrot]

6. As nutcase religious as Schilling is,

I would hope that the allure of a baseball-playing senator would fade fairly quickly when they heard his more extreme views. I have a hard time believing that a state that is liberal enough to elect (and re-elect repeatedly) Ted Kennedy would also elect Schilling.

:shrug:

7. Oooooh, wouldn't that be a match - This airhead against Kerry

[Little Wing]

8. To reply a second time - The Herald is a piece of shit right-wing rag like the NY Post

It does not reflect the opinion of MA voters.

Only WAAF listeners ( who are the dumbest fucks to walk the earth - but that's another story - BCN isn't any better )

[Postman]

10. I didn't realize it was a right-wing rag...thanks for the tip...

does Murdoch own that one too?

[Little Wing]

18. Oh yes

[Cobalt Violet]

29. He sure does. n/t

[Cobalt Violet]

28. Very true. n/t

[_dynamicdems]

11. LOLOL!

The next thing you know they will be trying to draft one of the stars of Survivor or American Idol. Better yet, why not one of the stars of Jackass?

[Postman]

13. We already have the "original" Jackass..

n/t

[_dynamicdems]

20. This is true. Too bad he is the WH and not where he belongs...

in an outhouse.

[we can do it]

14. Let Them Waste Their Money

[illinoisprogressive]

15. In 04 in Illinois, when Ryan's campaign imploded, the Repugs tried to get Ditka

to run in the Senate race against Obama. He was smart enough to say No Thanks. It was funny.

[silverojo]

16. I've always hated "Crybaby Curt"

Philadelphia was glad to be rid of him, he caused nothing but trouble in Arizona (always infighting with Randy Johnson), and now all he does is lick up to the Bushes.

F*ck him and the horse he rode in on.

[Postman]

19. I second that motion...

n/t

[The Witch]

17. I heart Schilling... on the mound, damn it.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

21. Well; They Would. After All, The Baseball Could Govern Better Than Their President....

[Marrah_G]

22. fortunately

Massachusetts is a bit smarter then the average fundyville. People here love sports for sure.... but we also realize that being athletic does not make one a good legislator.

It worries me not one bit that some Mitt and Muffy fan club dorks think this a peachy idea.

23. Another Reason to Root Against the Red Sox

[Blue_Tires]

24. welcome to the site!!

[bdrube]

25. Thanks!

[Cobalt Violet]

31. Please do!

Welcome. :hi:

[Auggie]

27. Schilling campaigned for George Bush! 'Nuff said!

[Cobalt Violet]

30. Kerry will beat his moronic sports idiot ass.

He doesn't stand a chance. I won't happen.

[radfringe]

33. Wingdingbats in PA thought an ex-football player/commentator

could govern better than Rendell...

guess what - Rendell won
