Did y'all notice the other famous Republican supporting Jones in AL?

1. Alright Sir Charles

Now you are making sense!

[Wounded Bear]

2. Successful athletes tend to vote Repub...

I guess you can't blame them, since their contracts push them into the top 1%, at least financially.

Perhaps Sir Charles is mellowing in his dotage.

3. As a Warrior fan (for 40 years) I should want to piss in his Cheerios

Like I said, he is now making sense!

4. Was never much of a roundball fan...

then, 20 yrs ago or so, they went full on urban rap and I couldn't bear to watch it.

Then, the Sonics left Seattle and the last little bit of desire I ever had to watch the game left with them. Now, I don't even check the standings.

5. My dad had season tickets from 1973-1976 and I was his co-pilot to most Warrior games

I was mad CRAZY in love with Rick Barry. But Pistol Pete was my man. Yeah I was a two timing 13 year old! I love roundball. Hope Sir Charles brings Jones some good MOJO!

6. He hasn't been a republican in some time

He said back in 2006 he was a rep till they lost their minds.

Nobody pays attention though so maybe the reps will listen to him, lol.

7. You Beat Me To It - I Remember This Quote

Charles is known for speaking his mind.

Usually more good than bad, but he's not perfect...

8. OK, you have more recent info than I do. Thanks for clarifying...

I remember him a few years ago when there were a few "sane" Repubs left. What I said about pro athletes is true, though. At least it has been over the years. In some ways, you can't fault them. When you score a big paycheck like they do, it's kind of natural to join up with folks who promise to "protect" it.

Props to Sir Charles, anyway, for supporting a rational candidate.
