Several people have sent me this sign for Republican candidate, Phillip Wight.

Yeah, Phillip is running for county commissioner in North Carolina.  Once the word got out that some people were upset by the sign, Phillip said …

“I have no words for that,” he said. “I’m not that guy. If you want to go in that direction, anybody who knows me knows I’m not a racist. I hate to even use that word. I don’t care about the color of your skin, I don’t care about your gender, I don’t care about your politics, or your religion.”

Really?  Well, he’s running in the Republican primary so you’d think he’s care about my politics and if he doesn’t care about my gender, he’s apt to follow me into the wrong bathroom.  And I imagine Phillip might not care about my religions, just so long it’s Christianity.

But during Mr. Wight’s 15 minutes of fame, he also wants you to know …

What he does care about, he says, is elected officials raising taxes, violating rights and bypassing the Constitution.

He said his priorities are loving God, his family and supporting the Second Amendment at all costs, but the 50-year-old small business owner and confessed Rodney Dangerfield fan also said he’s “an equal opportunity offender when it comes to jokes” and that the thought of using the slogan had crossed his mind during previous campaigns.

Y’all, I think he does care about my politics.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
