‘Peter Pan’ Randy Constan, who you voting for?
October 31, 2008 at 7:10 am by Wayne GarciaOne of Tampa Bay’s more colorful characters gives us his assessment of the presidential election today. And you can express yourself, as well, by taking our unscientific survey after the jump.
Randy Constan, guitarist, inventor and club habitué better known locally at “Peter Pan”
He’s voting for: Barack Obama
Why? “First, as a Christian, I’m disgusted with the overall Republican trend to legislate personal morality. I believe we should treat each other as equals and abstain from judging each other as much as we’re able. My ‘family values’ consist of helping those in need, funding education for children and medical care for everyone. And I want someone who sees such a philosophy as being our ‘brother’s keeper,’ rather than a collection of ‘entitlements’ to be continually cut.”
What he would say to an McCain supporter: “I’d ask whether they want another president who believes he’s always right on all things, who won’t consider other views. It has been said that for a president to admit error is political suicide. Yet Obama seems to possess both the vision to see the best course of action, the willingness to listen to all sides and the humility and courage to change course when a better path is revealed.”
Local candidate who most interests him: Hillsborough County Commission candidate Kevin Beckner, who is challenging incumbent Brian Blair. “I’m tired of the rampant overdevelopment of our natural wetlands, and to me, Blair seems much too well supported by land developers.”
