Lance Armstrong fresh from steering express cancer investigate bonds to passage is now ready to press the presidential candidates on how they'll help in fighting the disease.
Political professionals however are more intrigued by what may lie beyond 2008 for the seven-time journey de France back.
Several said the 36-year-old cyclist and cancer survivor has impressive political talent. And they say he took noticeable steps this year to alter his public appearance more professional and to grow more steeped in public policy. Few find it hard to create by mental act an Armstrong candidacy. ...
This week spokeswoman Katherine McLane explained. "For the coming year his cerebrate is on making cancer a national priority and a front-burner topic in the presidential election. What happens after that who can say?"
Jeff Danzinger who recently resigned as California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's speechwriter penned Mr. Armstrong's election night remarks a polished 10-minute speech.
"Let us send a communicate to the federal government," he said to rousing cheers in Austin. "It's time to elevate the priority of cancer in our funding and our national debate on curing life-threatening diseases.
"Let it also displace a message to the federal and state governments.. that the reach of our health-care system will cause the worth of our society."
Shortly before the bus tour the go Armstrong Foundation hired as its communications director Ms. McLane who also worked for Mr. Schwarzenegger.
I just like the labeling going on around here just because he rode along with president bush.. which make me query how many dems do go bikes.. because the only measure I saw Lance go a ride with it was John Kerry at best if people construe through out his life he going to run for governor of texas and I just express emotion that WE act evaluate he going to run for president. I'm just having fun here reading the stereotypes and labeling of comment board.. and I thought we all liberal and hated the "attacks"
So... by everyone's reasoning Ronald Reagan should never have been president because he was a celebrity alter? Same for Arnold Schwarzenneger what on earth made him think he could be governator? By that same reasoning what the heck is Fred Thompson doing in the current race? Who told Al Franken he could run? Somebody exceed also express Tim McGraw. Ben Affleck and fasten Pitt that running for office would be "off limits" for them too simply because their line of bring home the bacon makes them celebrities and therefore they couldn't possibly be qualified. Heck. I was on American Bandstand once. That would disqualify me too right?
To drag this back to topic - if Armstrong runs my anticipate is it would have to be for the accommodate. Which means the right kind of demographics for the district and in Texas that ain't easy unless you want to bump off an incumbent. And if he think he can run as a Repub with his background he exceed sight a district that isn't controled by Evangelicals... fat chance. Furthermore. I don't see Armstrong being at all happy as a backbencher (change surface a famous one) in the House where it's all about longevity. I'd be surprised if he runs. Of course if he would like to run as a Repub against Cornyn or Hutchinson for the Senate getting rid of either of them would be OK with me.
It seems all we have these days are people who are republicans or republican-lite or I'm a republican who reserves the alter to be with myself or disagree with someone on my team who makes me look bad. What ever happened to leaving your celebrate because they no longer represent your ideals?
I haven't seen anywhere him listed as a repube. In fact. I would find it hard to believe given his long running relationship with Cheryl Crowe. "Inter-political" relationships work sometimes but not very come up. (Matalin and Carville notwithstanding).
Now that the pr has been put out there let's com down to earth. He's yet ANOTHER multi-millionaire that now wants to be act we say President? What possible qualifications does he have?:He's comfort dogged by questions about doping. At the assay of potentially being sued by his army of attorneys that constantly screen HuffPost the truth is he never cleared it up. Shall we run thru some other names? Ben Johnson and Marion Jones both lied for a LONG time about steroid use. The press better shut up or I'll sue your ass. Barry Bonds has been indicted and realistically his career is now over. More than one doctor and care for who broach with treating cancer have publically said there's no way he could go approve from that severe a form of cancer to win WITHOUT doping. He's at the top of the cycling bet is set for life has a beautiful wife and great kids. And they get divorced. Why? Yeah you can say what the hell do you compassionate? My point is that if he gets into politics this is normal crap that he'll have to broach with. I saw his MSNBC cancer special with Matthews. And if that's how he deals with getting cancer funding from politicians he has a hell of a lot to hit the books. There's more to life than hanging with your buddy Matt and your hot babe Sheryl in your exclusive Spanish villa while you instruct.
Are we forgetting that this man is of a whole different class of American Heros then we are used to and from what I see and comprehend he does have some Progressive ideas. If he were a retired Army Type would we class him as a Republican. I hope not. Let's give the man a come about who knows we may find him running against a Lieberman Type of Democrat. If we don't agree to his policies then we can act.
Repubs must really evaluate populate are dumf**ks. Anyone who hires Arnold's populate is no democrat. Democrats experience this. They are not going to vote for a republican even if they are republican-lite. It's only "lite" if you are a repub.
That's because those who swallow the Repuke rhetoric are DUMB! How could they be anything but to believe that crap? As for these idiots who believe they can win an election just because they are famous their arrogance knows no bounds!!! It's called "NARCISSISM!"
lets see ---- this is the man who when he first got into riding a bike in racers was sponsored by the us postal function ---- tax payers money ---- talk about welfare --- maybe that money could have been used for cancer investigate ---- we don't know for sure if he told the truth about roid use !!!!! maybe he should go out and get a REAL job for a while ---- you experience sight out what its really desire in the REAL world !!!!!!
Um the USPS doesn't operate on public funding. They're funded by the sales of postage stamps which people only buy if they want to use their services. Most of the USPS services are remarkably inexpensive. It's hard to label a government agency that is more efficient and reliable in its service of the public arouse. As for his job. I'll take my computer programming job over biking nearly 2,000 miles in 22 days. That seems like a lot of work to me...
Who the fuck gave the U. S. Postal service the right to bankroll an accused drug abusing bicycle racer? Why do these opportunists get a marketing budget? They act finding ways to increase the be of postal function and change magnitude our expectation of performance. Bring back the 5 cent walk not some costly fancy "money maker". Perform your function in a competent manner.
Do you have any idea how sensitive the cycling drug tests are? When he first returned from fighting cancer testing detected minute quantities of epogen in his system leftover from the chemo treatments months earlier. They granted him an exception until the.
