Another Democrat Announces Based on Friendship

So, the other day I was getting on Al Hamburg, Wyoming’s Mr. Chaos, for not figuring out which race to run in. I also got on Nick Carter for not (potentially) running against Sen. Enzi because of the family friendship. Apparently, Nick Carter isn’t the only one, as is revealed in a recent report from a Torrington newspaper (guess who this one’s about…):

Opposing Enzi for his Senate seat are Torrington Democrat Al Hamburg and Chris Rothfuss, a Democrat and instructor at the University of Wyoming in Laramie. Both men have said they are seeking major changes in Washington, D.C.

Hamburg said that at one time he was going to oppose Barrasso in the November election but has decided to run against Sen. Enzi since Keith Goodenough, a friend of his, is running against Barrasso.

“That stupid war in Iraq is a big waste and it is not going to stop,” Hamburg said. “It has been going on for five years now. You have to support the troops. I was in the Army three times. This (war) is getting people killed over lies and is wrong. Price of oil is up. Price of food it up and it is all due to the stupid war. Everyone is paying the price.”

Hamburg said he also wants to make changes to social security.

“People who make so much money could pay more (social security),” Hamburg said. “Other people need jobs, educational benefits and other things. People who make lots of money need to donate more.”

Apparently Mr. Hamburg is not a friend of Professor Rothfuss, the one that’s confused about who the current “tyrannical majority” is.
