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.”

Thinking … “Do Not freak … how the heck am I going to swing the trip home? I got less than 4Gs in the campaign account, and I am on the WH lawn … and now I get the souvenier picture … how much is THAT going to cost? … I have … lemme see … a Ten … ok, so maybe I can take the train back … Smile ….”

“As Secretary of State I pledge to not take campaign contributions from special interests, lobbyist, anyone who does business with Illinois, single mothers, first born males, or anyone else who resides in the boundaries of Illinois.”

Robert: My mama told me to always smile, stand tall, and dream big. She probably would not have liked the royal purple tie, though.

Robert Enriquez before he participates in the formerly annual “Bongos for Bush” on the lawn of the White House.

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.

The Dad from the “Wonder Years” show looks pretty spiffy in his bright new purple tie.

“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.”

I am the highest ranking Latino Republican in Illinois!
Oh wait, my campaign manager John Aguilar is the highest ranking Republican Latino in Illinois.
Ok, we both are, and together, we are taking over!

My plan to shake down illegals didn’t work. Who would have thought that illegals prefer to buy fake ID’s rather than get IL driver’s permits for $100.

If the voters don’t elect me because I’m latino, maybe Jesse will hire me because I’m latino.
