Patrick Returns to Phillips Academy
August 22, 2007 by Dan.
Last night Patrick attended a debate sponsored by the League of Women Voters. Because of the institutionalized lunacy that voters must identify themselves as a member of a party to fully participate in democracy, the League gave Patrick, an “unenrolled” independent two minutes for a statement. My request for an extra minute was emphatically denied. If a rule was enforced–that no candidate may repeat a catch phrase, anecdote, charges baseless or otherwise, and commonplace things in general–the League could probably find a few more minutes, though there would hardly be a debate. Many people in attendance agreed that Patrick used these two minutes to great effect, questioning the self-proclaimed non-partisan organization and “saying more in that short time than many [party] candidates did all night.”
Patrick returns to his high school Phillips Academy in Andover for the second “debate” sponsored by the League, this time to address foreign policy. Stop by Cochran Chapel at 7:30PM this Thursday, August 23rd. It should be an interesting reunion, and a lively two minutes.
