Son of GOP nominee throws hat into ring for Staten Island’s seat
[Quote:]
It could be father versus son in the race for Staten Island’s seat in the House of Representatives.
An already topsy-turvy political year grew even more so today when Francis M. Powers, the son of GOP designee Francis H. Powers, said he would seek the Libertarian Party line to run for the 13th Congressional District seat.
“This is not about my dad,” said the younger Powers, 47, a master carpenter from Clifton who plays and sings with the Staten Island band Box of Crayons and runs an indie record label called Penny for the Guy Records. “I’m running against the Republican candidate.”
So voters get to pick between F. Powers, F. Powers, and the Dem candidate. Here’s what Fran has to say about it:
When asked about the head scratching that might cause voters, Powers said, “If people can’t tell the difference between the Republican Party and the Libertarian Party, maybe they shouldn’t be voting.”

Good. The larger the Democrat majority in both Houses in 2009 the better. We need to get some things done in this nation that better prepare us for the future. The Republicans just plain cling too much to the past and the old way of doing things.
Heh, I generally vote Democrat, but I like the thrust of Sr’s gist or whatever. Anyone who’s willing to insult potential voters for their stupidity is ok in my book!
The way I read it, the Libertarian Jr. is the one that insulted voters who don’t know how to read. That said, I agree with the sentiment.
Vote Libertarian. Repubs and Dems are all corrupt.
