Here’s a candidate everyone can support
A few of us in the Telegram newsroom were kicking around some of our favorite political cliches a little while ago.
None of them actually say anything, of course. But that’s exactly why they’re perfect for any candidate, no matter what party or planet they’re from.
Staff writer Mike Hixenbaugh has a new puppy named Bowie. I’m proud to be on the Bowie bandwagon.
Here are some of the things Bowie may or may not be thinking as we approach the Nov. 4 election.
Washington is broken, and I’m here to fix it.
We have to stop thinking so much about Wall Street and paying more attention to Main Street.
Children are the future of this country.
My campaign is going to focus on the issues.
It’s time to take special interest groups out of politics.
My opponent wants to throw out the baby with the bath water.
Well, that dog won’t hunt, Mister.
At the end of the day, America will be a safer, brighter, more prosperous nation.
My opponent wants to embrace the past. I’m here to lead us into the future.
It takes a village to build a bridge to the 21st century so we can take back our streets from the criminals and break the gridlock in Washington.
Remember: Vote Bowie on Nov. 4.
