The guy was so competent, so action oriented and motivating, I thought I was dreaming. Watch the video to fully understand. I ordered his book, 'The Troops Need You, America' and devoured it. My 'Victory' mindset that ensued was unprecedented. I immediately started to brainstorm about how to implement his six action steps to immediately provide real support to the troops in Iraq, in addition to the care packages and prayers. However, it quickly became apparent to me, that with a Congress crammed with Corruptocrats and Crapweasels ( to borrow 2 terms from MM), and with a hectic day job and kids, it was going to be a real miracle to pull off anything tangible from Egland's suggestions in his book, namely gathering as large a group of people and get in front of the media to strongly encourage members of congress to implement some or all of Maj Egland's common sense action items to help the troops in Iraq. (Sorry for crazy run on, had a few cold ones :) ). And when the realization that besides the MM interview on Hotair, and besides a cable news show appearance here and there, that his book and ideas was so quickly lost in the shuffle of the day to day...I have to say that I had written his cause off. Shame on me. Then this morning, what GREAT news...I was so happy to see that he is running for Office. I was so so silly for ever thinking that he may be down in the dumps that his book and action plan not being a runaway smash hit. Running. For. Office. Silly. Me. That made my day. Man I love MM and her blog. Really and truly. When I first saw Michelle’s interview with Eric Egland at CPAC I was really knocked out of my chair.

I think we should start with the premise that if their an incumbant, they should go. Let them prove to us that they are worthy to remain in office. It's happening on both sides of the aisle. Term limits at all levels should be the norm even for mayors like Joe Riley in Charleston who has been the mayor for 32 years. His Fire Chief lost 9 firefighters in one fire and the mayor doesn't see anything wrong with his policies even afer OSHA fined them the maximum for not having up to date policies which most likely contributed to their deaths. The "Good Ole Boys" are as strong as ever. Time for them to go. As far as I'm concerned, losing 9 firefighters on one fire is prima facia evidence of incompetence. Sorry, had to vent that frustation. No one in Charleston seems to be listening. I am so sick of everyone in congress pulling the old CYA crap. I think we should start with the premise that if their an incumbant, they should go.

This liberal is impressed that you can see both sides of the corruption issue. There are two levels of corruption. This one is simply lawbreaking, mostly bribery. The other is votes and earmarks in exchange for campaign contributions. Do you support sunshine regs that would help get rid of this too? Congratulations, MM.
