Iowa?!! the ethanol welfare state

good luck. go positive and for name recognition early, then drop your negative pieces the weekend before the election, so he can't respond. and knock on doors every single day

POAC -- who is your opponent? I'd like to know so I can send him a donation in his campaign against you.

Aw Jeeze! You're killing me! I have an ethanol plant going up in my district as we speak! Thanks for the kind words and suggestions. I plan on knocking on every door in my district at least twice.

Your website does look nice and professional though

LOL, well played.

 
KaponoFor3 [recently expired TotalFark] 2008-04-24 03:37:19 PM  
On a serious note, while I disagree with you vehemently on many political issues, I applaud you for actually getting involved and trying to do something rather than fighting the good fight on fark.

 
POAC [TotalFark] 2008-04-24 03:37:23 PM  
KaponoFor3: Your website does look nice and professional though

That's really nice to hear. Thank you. I did it myself. It's not finished, but it's fleshed out enough to go "live".

I don't live in Iowa but I am the webmaster for my county's democrats and more involved in the democratic process than i should be, so if you ever want someone to bounce ideas or opinions off of...email in profile :-)

You bear an uncanningly striking resemblance to my fiancee. I've always wanted to tell you that but never have.

wonderful! nice website, indeed. i particularly like your "why i'm running."

Do I? Maybe she's my doppleganger...everybody needs one. Or four.

You lucky, lucky man :-)
No, seriously, congrats on your engagement

How would your potential constituents react if they knew that you were a member of a misogynistic, alcoholic cabal with a fetish for cats?

 
KaponoFor3 [recently expired TotalFark] 2008-04-24 03:52:35 PM  
cheshirecatsmileyface: Do I?

She has curlier hair than you and does wear glasses with rims as thick as yours in that picture, but other than that its dead on point.

does NOT wear glasses that is

Well I'm marrying her so yes, she is awesome-o.

I have a feeling they'll know soon enough.

Guess what, POAC? You're about to be responsible for everything every Farker has ever said.

Good luck. I hope you beat the bastards, though, because you're right.

 
Jaboobinator [TotalFark] 2008-04-24 03:55:34 PM  
I found a typo on your homepage.

The second bullet point under "What I'll Do" says "As Representative will do everything possible in my capacity as representative to work for the interest of our consumers, workers, business owners, and farmers in our state."

You left out the "I" in that sentence.

 
POAC [TotalFark] 2008-04-24 03:56:01 PM  
JulioSilverwolf, Thanks. I could go on and on on about why I'm running, so I cut out a lot.
albo, You know, there's nothing like seeing your pic on a website to remind you how much you need to get to the gym. Yikes!
Angry Drunk Bureaucrat, Well, the ones who know me wouldn't be surprised. =-)

ask her if she wants to join me in making a clone army of ourselves.

 
POAC [TotalFark] 2008-04-24 03:56:50 PM  
Thanks, Jaboobinator. I'm on it.

 
Jaboobinator [TotalFark] 2008-04-24 03:57:55 PM  
POAC: Thanks, Jaboobinator. I'm on it.

No problem. I'd vote for you if I lived in your district. The state legislature down here in FL causes me much "facepalm."

Well you didn't earn your own fark tag for nothin'!

If I was clever, I would have enabled voting.

Hey, congrats on standing up and doing something to make a difference as others have said. One suggestion though - I'd remove the animated flag gif from the front page. It looks a biatcheesy. Perhaps something like a static flag blended into the background instead? Just a suggestion. Good luck!

 
stargazer101 2008-04-24 04:04:19 PM  
Yes, that should be 'biatcheesy', very wonky.

 
stargazer101 2008-04-24 04:05:10 PM  
?! Have I stumbled upon an unknown filter?

 
POAC [TotalFark] 2008-04-24 04:05:44 PM  
I wasn't sure about that .gif. It is a little 1993 AOLish, isn't it? And thank for the kind words.

 
burndtdan 2008-04-24 04:06:18 PM  
so i expect your campaign slogan will be written in lolcat?

Whew! That really gets me off the hook on that whole ball waxing thing.

stargazer101: ?! Have I stumbled upon an unknown filter?

"bit" and "cheesy" were too close together. It happens. Tastes like chicken.

 
VictoryCabal [TotalFark] 2008-04-24 04:09:22 PM  
GOPOAC!

I'd vote for you, if I didn't live in a completely different state.

 
Calmamity [TotalFark] 2008-04-24 04:15:30 PM  
Well hell, as long as we're at it, I agree about the anigif, it's distracting.

And:

Just a basic run-down of my stance on the many issues raised by Iowa voters that I have met and spoken with.

Don't belittle your positions with "just"

How about: "A brief overview of my positions on issues raised by Iowa voters I have spoken with."

 
POAC [TotalFark] 2008-04-24 04:19:10 PM  
Calmamity: How about: "A brief overview of my positions on issues raised by Iowa voters I have spoken with."

Done. =-)

It's only distracting 'cause the windmills aren't moving too.

 
Angry Drunk Bureaucrat [TotalFark] 2008-04-24 04:23:38 PM  
And where's your farking flag pin, you commie!?

 
POAC [TotalFark] 2008-04-24 04:25:25 PM  
I'm getting one of those constitution lapel pins.

"with which I have spoken."

Careful, man, I'm home early from work because I'm coming down with the crud that's going around, so I can do this all day. I may feel like crap, but I'm also bored.

From the same page: Environment

I will work closely with individual citizens as well as private and public organizations to protect our natural resources. The health and wealth of Iowa relies on a clean environment. Here i detail


Capitalize the last "i".

Iowa. No monocle needed. Keep your pinky in when you drink the coffee, too.

I'm sure he damns it more.

Got it. Thanks!

Bwahaahaa, include this as an Easter Egg somewhere!
