Tebow To Washington?

[Earthman]

Tim Tebow eyed for open Florida House seat, 'a shoo-in'

 

[LongTimeListener]

Unfortunate that he has been so persecuted all these years.

 

[Dick Whitman]

Which party? (LOL.)

 

[Jake_Taylor]

Too bad he's not running for president this year instead.

Might not be a bad move for him to hang around Cleveland this summer and act like he has the next four years free.

No, if he did that there'd be too great a risk of ending up with the Browns.

He still won't replace Heath Shuler as the worst quarterback ever to reach Capitol Hill.

 

[DanOregon]

Sure he could run, just hope nobody expects him to pass anything successfully.

So if Shuler was the worst, who was the best ?

Unless I'm forgetting someone, Jack Kemp wins in a landslide.

He won't be eligible till the 2024 election cycle.

Not to mention the big birther problem he would have

J.C. Watts, of course. It's only a group of two.

Steve Largent?

Seriously though, Tebow has probably already done a better job handling (or deflecting anyway) questions about faith, abortion, gay marriage, etc. than about 90 percent of the Republicans in Congress.

But he has been able to, because ultimately his opinion has no bearing.

"Would you vote to outlaw same-sex marriage?" to a Congressman is a much different question than "What's your opinion on same-sex marriage?" to a quarterback.

After reading the thread title, Sonner instantly **** his pants.

Steve Largent?

I thought we were talking about quarterbacks.

EDIT: And I missed LTL's post about Jack Kemp, who I clearly had forgotten about.

 

[terrier]

Reminds me of the line when Colin Powell was considering a presidential run. Great numbers, but his approval rating would drop 20 points the first time he took a side on ANYTHING, no matter which.

Nevermind.
