Auntie Charo's Soapbox

He ran for governor the last election....he wasn't as they say, 'dry behind the ears'(I really hate that saying, but guess it applies). The time away from the legislature, away from the beggers for jobs, freeloaders for this that and the other and all else gave him a better view on how he the government should run. He didn't come back to the legislature as the wimpy, slurpy-smiley Eddie-rich-boy Calvo. I have to say, (in my humble opinion and it's worth two cents in today's economy)he came back a man, with ideas of his own, with some real masculine strength. Today, he stood up to the Andy Jordanau, probably a former banker of one of his family's company's during another lifetime. He asked the hard questions and he didn't let up. He didn't do the stupid dance like the other guy did the other night with the locust tenement(purposely mispelled)issue. He says what he wants to say and asks what he wants answered and doesn't waste anyone's time.....and I think that he wouldn't be the kind of leader that would exit a back door because he couldn't face a reporter who wanted to ask him any questions. I don't see this new Eddie Calvo playing 'dodge' anything. He's a real asset to the republican party, and although he's got the strength of a bull dog, he's still got his mother's heart.
Up until these budget hearings, I was beginning to think that there was no prayer for a republican candidate for the gubernatorial election........I think we should watch Mr. Calvo, he shows great promise....all he needs now is a running mate that shares his vision for a government that operates within its means.......
Mr. Calvo, you're doing a great job and showing a great example. Please keep up the good work!
