Hi, I’m councilor Gregg Jamison, and I am a Progressive, Â just ask me . . . or my daddy.
It seems a John McCain/Bob Jamison wannabe is running for city council in Sioux Falls;
Charlie Gaetze
Experience: former chairman of Davison County Republican Party, retired from Air Force and served on City of Mitchell beautification committee.
Three words that describe you: conservative, thoughtful, leader
Why should residents vote for you? “I think Sioux Falls is going to continue to grow and that growth really needs to be forecasted and directed rather than willie nillie.”
I about peed my pants reading his BIO. First off, beware Davison county Republicans (think Steve Sibson). Also, anyone who would call themselves a ‘Conservative’ and a ‘Leader’ in the same sentence obviously is out of touch with reality. Conservatives cannot grasp leadership, because leading means you want to move things forward, they want change, conservatism is about resisting change. But if that ignorance didn’t strike you, his last sentence will;
Events Center: Supports. “I think we have to move forward with something… If you think the tax on food is enough to take food out of your mouth, I would say you can stop smoking a cigarette.”
Oh, yes Charlie, because all poor people smoke, do drugs and are alchies’. Don’t you have a Teabag party to attend? I hope your opponent Clarence Kooistra hands you your ass on a silver platter in the election.
Oh, but the story gets better, Daddy’s boy, Gregggggg Jamison is worried that the next council will be less experienced because so many councilors are changing;
“The chance that a whole new group of people that could come in and be the majority is a threat to the status quo,” said Councilor Greg Jamison, who will remain on the council. “It’s just too many people at once. Too much of a shift of experience and knowledge.”
You are right, Greggo, I am worried to, considering that you and Kenny still don’t know WTF is going on, that will give us 6 councilors that need to find the rubber stamp that your daddy and Munson left behind. But his next statement really earns Jamison the ‘Hypocrite of the Day’ award.
With the new group, it’s a risk that they might not be as progressive as the current council, Jamison added. “We could see ourselves going backwards and be surpassed by surrounding communities instead of being the leader,” he said.
REAL progressives don’t have rubberstamps, don’t believe in taxing the shit out of the poor, don’t believe in helping the rich first and the working class second. Gregg, I hate to break you the news, but the current council, including yourself, ARE NOT FUCKING PROGRESSIVES!
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Sibson? Is that neocon still online? Had to check. Yep. Still around, albeit, talking to himself…but still around. The guy is at the very least persistant. Starts about a half dozen topics a day, straight from the pages of Free Republic, or glen beck. Had to go back 6 days to find ONE comment. And that was from Cory in Madison. What a joke sibby and his site have become. Sad really would better describe it.
My God what a fucking moron.
Any candidate using the words “willy nilly” in their campaign should be immediately disqualified.
I hope he gets quoted more – making fun of him is like shooting fish in a barrel.
What POS values and communication skills. He should have a long future in South Dakota politics.
Like I said, he is from Davison county. Have you ever seen the past two mayors of Mitchell on TV? Good stuff. I guess the last one before the current one was this old lady, and when they opened a new pool in Mitchell she decided to christen it by showing up in a bathing suit and jumped off of the diving board. Guess it was quite a site to see. Now excuse me while I get willie nillie, smoke cigarettes and bitch about food taxes.
jamison is probably afraid that if a new majority will make developers actually pay their property taxes. that would make his dad and brother really mad. btw, does anybody really know what greg jamison’s “job” really is? try looking up jamison advertising on the internet. It pretty much doesn’t exist as far as i can tell.
Scott – saw your obit in the paper today, you’re not blogging from the dead? Are you?
