Aaron Schock: GOP rockstar

November 13, 2009
By Billy Dennis

Look at who’s wowing the GOP in Kent County, Mich.:

Following Steele to the stage was U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill.

The 28-year-old congressman has been deemed one of the GOP’s rising stars, and came out in rock star fashion with lights turned off, techno-like music and a stream of images on the big screens.

“My first nine months in Congress has been thrilling, frustrating at times and challenging many days,” Schock said. “This administration’s policies are out of touch with mainstream America. Our time is now.”

Rock star? Sounds more like a WWE wrestler entering the ring at Peoria Civic Center.

    Aaron Shock: Future U.S. President.

    I’m more convinced each passing day.

      Schock is a puppet of John Boehner and Eric Cantor. Maybe he is a right wing nut’s dream candidate, but when one looks at the country as a whole, it is Schock’s views that are out of touch with the mainstream. He simply parrot’s the Republican talking points and has yet, to my knowledge, come up with a thoughtful, workable idea to address the problems facing the country. Rather, he destructively criticizes any idea from the other side. It’s all to gain partisan political advantage and to help assure he gets RNC money to get re-elected. Aren’t you tired of this?

    Schock said. “This administration’s policies are out of touch with mainstream America. Our time is now.”

    Really? So like Schock, mainstream America supports coups, private health care, tossing aside Habeas Corpus, and judicial due process? I think the mainstream public would beg to differ.

    Wait…A Republican said the administration is out of touch? That’s like a VCR calling a Blu-Ray player outdated.
