Where was the Beef?

It was a great Rally on the Capitol Steps today as State Reps. Kim Thatcher and Linda Flores introduced to the crowd of near 300 (the Oregonian scores us near 100) the best list of House Bills we Oregonians have ever seen when it comes to solving the many Problems we suffer from the Illegal Alien invasion.

The show opened with Jeff Kropf (recently retired from Legislature) giving the Dynamic Duo a rousing send-off and then the ladies took the floor and did an excellent job of presenting their proposals. The cheers and rounds of applause were many.

So where were the Men of the Legislature we Oregonians have been looking to for these many years to deliver what Kim and Linda have done today?

Well they were there, but standing back stage as best they could hoping their faces would escape the cameras and so it was that most became lost in the crowd.

And when they were asked by Jeff Kropf if they wanted a turn at the mic and give support to the effort, only one stepped forward and he the Senate minority whip who's title and position almost demanded he make a token appearance.

I can appreciate the reluctance of the Guys to step forward one by one as unlike the Ladies they will be immediately called Racists which they all see as an end to their careers in the Legislature.

But then, if they had the courage to stand together as a group and support the Woman Folk, they would be able to silence the Racist Cries and just maybe in the process enjoy feeling like Men . . . again.
