Robert Enriquez kicked off his campaign today against incumbent Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
“I am tired of the constant appeasement by this administration,” Enriquez proclaimed on the front lawn of the White House.
Reminded by reporters that he was running for Illinois secretary of state and not US secretary of state, Enriquez appeared dumbstruck at first.
After conferring in angry hushed tones with his coterie of unpaid interns, he blurted: “We will never issue a drivers license to Fidel Castro!” and stormed off.

He will run for office and NOT raise any money to win….
Other candidates run from him … because they know he is going got ask for some cash.
He uses Starbuck’s Gift cards to have his coffee on the road.
He makes reporters give donations to his campaign…IF they want to see if he is for real.
It costs MORE for him to fax his D-2 to the ISBE… than what is reported IN the D-2.
Volunteers bring used staples to use again.
His phone bank consists of strings, cans, and 4 very loud retired carnival barkers.
He has 4 great TV ad ideas, if he could afford to pay attention to them.
HE IS ….
The ILGOP’s answer to Jesse White.
“I don’t always raise money, but when I do … I pefer to just watch it burn.”
“Keep Jesse, my friends.”

Enriquez takes stand against tumbling at White House, calling on all those who agree with him to contribute to his campaign.

He personally knocked on my door to collect a signature for his petitions. He seemed clueless to say the least, yet a very polite and nice man.

“I’m not accepting any large corporate donations (not that anybody has offered). Instead, I’m going door to door to solicit funds from registered Illinois voters. As I understand it, there’s someone residing here named…um…I think it’s Mr. Barack, and then there’s Mr…um…Emanuel Rahm. Both of them from Illinois, I hear. So I’m hoping they’re both Republicans. And that they have cash in their wallets.”
