Roberts Says Wolf “too Inexperienced for Debate”

Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 20 July 2014 | John Semmens

[John Semmens]

Senator Pat Roberts (R-Kan) continued his refusal to debate challenger Dr. Milton Wolf prior to the upcoming August 5 primary election date on the grounds that “Wolf is not qualified to hold such a high office.”

“I’ve been in this political racket for nearly 50 years,” the 78 year-old Roberts pointed out. “I didn’t just leap into the national arena as my first venture into joining the governing elite. I served on the staff of Senator Frank Carlson and Representative Keith Sebelius for over 12 years before I ran for Congress in 1980. Then I put in 16 years in the House before I ran for the Senate.”

“Dr. Wolf wasn’t even born when I began my political career,” Roberts pointed out. “He was just a fuzzy-cheeked kid when I first started bringing home the bacon for the State of Kansas. Even as an adult Wolf made no effort to work his way into government. So he has no track record by which voters can judge his suitability to participate in ruling them. If I debate him it would lend a sheen of credibility to his candidacy that would only make it easier for every upstart outsider to gain unearned attention. This would shake the foundations of the way we do business in Washington. I won’t be a party to it.”

“I’ve been in this political racket for nearly 50 years,”

best argument that could be said for voting him out.

Who needs skilled “playaz” in the political “racket”?

Racketeers and their connected interests.

SATIRE.

Got me. But my point regarding 50 years still stands.

So he has no track record by which voters can judge his suitability to participate in ruling them.

That is a huge slip. Gives good insight into his thoughts. But eff him and his years of experience. Does he think he's some kind of wizard?

Politicians and diapers need to be changed regularly,
and for the same reason.

Didn’t realize it was satire!

All Roberts needs is for Bob and Elizabeth Dole to cut a commercial for him, and he’s as good as in.

Good one MrB, good one.
