Billy Long likes to gamble. He is a poker player, a high stakes poker player. A lady friend of mine has seen him in the casino just across the stateline at exit 1. She was there with some of her girlfriends and saw Billy in the place. I don't know for sure if he was gambling, he may have just been looking for a restroom.
I've got this sneaky suspicion that "Fed Up" was dreamed up as a campaign slogan, sort of like 'got milk' or 'we try harder'.
When I asked Billy why he gave $1,000 to Roy Blunt on November 23, 2009 even as he was campaigning on "fed up" with Washington, instead of giving it to Purgason, I didn't connect the dots.
Long didn't want Purgason to win. Purgason, for all the jokes about his toupee, was and is an honest man. He practices what he preaches. Long contribution to Blunt came when Purgason was in double digits in the polls and Roy couldn't crack 50%. Long hedged his bets and went with Blunt instead of Purgason. All this "Fed Up" crap that followed is just that, "Fed Up" crap.
I don't think in November 2009 Long was fed up with career politicians. Listen this exchange, I don't hear a fed up in there anywhere. I do hear a lot of whining about having to sell his business and how it ain't worth nothing without him. Naw, Fed Up was dreamed up to attract tea party crowd and boy, did they ever come! Billy swung so far right to get them, too.
This is the first instance I could find of "fed up". oh, that lady's voice is so serious, Obama, Pelosi, Billy Long, the prolife Republican (aren't they all?) with save the day! Say, Is that the newest OTC board member, Jeff Layman in that vidoe with Billy? Why, I believe it is! Does this mean the OTC supports Billy Long? And it is kinder, gentler Billy Long we see here, even if he doesn't look the part. He's starting to get fed up, getting into this fed up thing now. Look he's fed up with politiciains and their cronies---would he be talking about Roy and Tom and Jack maybe?
And thus we get to this--- Billy Long is Fed Up
But, he really wasn't fed up at all, that was just a campaign designed to get people to vote for him. And it worked! Only people didn't vote for Billy, they voted because they were fed up that their jobs are gone, that the war in Iraq is killing our boys, that economy is in the tank (thanks W2), their fed up with the direction the country is going. And Billy tapped into that and won the primary.
But Billy ain't fed up. Heck no. He's got a pretty good gig with the auction company, He's a regular at the finest restaurants and private parties in town. He hobknobs with car salesman, boot salesman and defense attorneys. He's not one of us. He went to Greenwood, fer crying out loud. 1969-1973. He gets manicures fer crying out loud! How's that going to play out down at the welding shop?
Some of us vote our pocketbook, most of us vote our convictions. We have been sold down the river. Billy Long no more believes in the tea party movement or the Spending Revolt but than I believe in the Easter Bunny.
Mark my words, if elected, Billy Long will vote to privatize social security for our younger people. He signed that Spending Revolt bus, that's one of their objectives, why else would Billy sign the bus unless he agreed with their platform.
Maybe he just signed it because he thought he could gain some votes?
