Hi, my name is Dave Crampton, and I’m reasonable. Well, as long as you don’t ask my wife, I’m reasonable. And as such a person, I have compiled a list of reasons (pun!) that would bar me from such a political office.<\/p>\n
\n- I haven’t proven myself in politics. Flip side of this coin: I haven’t been corrupted by politics. Both reasons that I’d never get elected.<\/li>\n
- I actually like living in Lansing. I think it’s a good place to be.<\/li>\n
- I have a family, which comes before everything else, including office.<\/li>\n
- The only ass that I kiss is my wife’s, and that’s rare.<\/li>\n
- Carol Wood? Seriously? (Obligatory baseless slam! Go me!)<\/li>\n
- I am The Man. I am white, male, educated, and overweight.<\/li>\n
- I have some conservative viewpoints. (Fascist!)<\/li>\n
- I have some liberal viewpoints. (Pinko commie long-hair hippie!)<\/li>\n
- I like riding CATA. Bus crazy people make me smile.<\/li>\n
- I see infrastructure as the basic building block needed to keep residents and businesses happy. Having a meaty ideal instead of an empty sound bite should scare you all the way down into your booties.<\/li>\n
- I am a nerd. I am also proud of it.<\/li>\n
- I abhor waste of any kind. I drive my wife and friends nuts talking about reuse and recycling.<\/li>\n
- I can use the word abhor in a sentence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
I’ll be expounding on these and others in other posts. Anything else that you’d like to see in a Mayor but would prevent him from getting in office?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
