Just checked out the Wikipedia article (link below) on Brock, what a riot. I agree, somebody who has never voted has no business running for Congress.

Bt - According to Wikipedia, he was a running back, not QB. And his college record looks to be much better than mediocre. But I still wouldn’t vote for him in the Republican primary if I lived in the 9th.

Garrison - You’re an idiot.

oops. perhaps the powers that be who pressed olivo into service should have done a little more research. something like,”uh brock, um ah…you do have a voting record right? it’s where you go into a booth and well, uh, you know…vote”

it’s all too bad the parties look for fluff and not function in trying to fill a slot. and that is exactly what they are doing here.

Did he even graduate from MIZZOU?

I just recently registered to vote myself, and I personally do not have a problem with the fact that he never voted previously. I never voted in the past, because I was angry with the system and wasn’t inspired by the same old politicians. I hate that people always find little things like this and blow them at of proportion. I also hate how there is some magic path people have to take to be elected to certain positions. I’m glad he’s not a state rep. because this way he is less likely to play favoritism so certain parts of the district. And as a side note he was a RB not a QB.

Surely we as Americans are above voting for someone just because of their name (sorry Arnold), which isn’t that great anyway. Please don’t let this dope get elected. How could someone that’s never even taken part in a simple election believe that he could make decisions concerning our people? That’s the most important and simplest power that we have. Show that moron how important it is to vote… by not voting for him. Maybe he’ll change his tune and cast his the next time.

Brock is a young man….Maybe he should enlist if he wants to serve his country. This isn’t a popularity contest for student council…If it was, Paris Hilton would get the Republican nomination (that was for you Nick).

Only a bigger fool would vote for him!!

Vaughn: How low does one need to go to underestimate a guy who is 31 years old and has never gotten off his butt to vote?

I think I’ll try out for the football team. I’ve never played or paid any attention to football, but what the heck! Do they have, like, rules and stuff that I’ll need to know about? I won’t be expected to play well once I’m on the team, will I? After all, I just got started with this stuff. But don’t worry - I promise that I will learn real fast!

What was it that LBJ said about Gerald Ford? Something about too many games without a helmet?

I have met Brock, but in no way would I consider him a friend or even an acquaintance. Since my time in college and now as a professional in the financial industry, I have never seen anyone with the dedication and commitment to a goal as he had. If he puts half the effort into politics as he did to sports and school, yes that’s right, I said school - he’s not only more athletic than any of us, he’s smarter than most of us. If he gives the 9th district half of the attention that he gave to his other goals, he would be the best politician we have had in a long time. Anyone that actually met him knows what I’m talking about, I’m sure he’s not running because he’s famous, he’s running because he would be good at it. For those of you that discount him because he has been successful at sports or because he is young, pathetic. Most talented people don’t run for office because of this type of unfounded criticism (most people don’t vote), and know that someone wants to make a difference, people like Garrison want to say he’s like Paris Hilton. No wonder we are stuck with the government we have, it’s what we deserve.

Nick < I stand corrected.
