This Looks Promising

This looks like a tough guy....he dealt with prison life....I am sure he will handle the political thugs ......

Flannery filed a video report recycling the news that new media outlets have reported for the last month (the candidate placed it at the center of his campaign) that Paul McKinley, GOP nominee for the Illinois Second District congressional seat, is an ex-offender. McKinley, who spent time in prison for armed robbery in the 1970s, has paid his time, speaks openly about the program “Street Repentance,” and is seeking to repay his debt to society through his activism.
In his victory, McKinley more than doubled his closest Republican opponent’s votes in the poorer urban south side of Chicago, a news story in and of itself, as the conservative message reached areas that had never embraced Republicans before.
But Flannery—and other reporters like the ChicagoTribune’s Bill Ruthhart—can’t get over the voters of the district selecting McKinley as their nominee and appear to see it as their responsibility to disqualify him from public life.
While the media largely ignored McKinley’s electric performances at candidate forums throughout the primary, with his victory, they find themselves having to cover a candidate who says he is “the last thing they want to see coming to Washington.”


LOVE IT!
