Rocky Anderson, Again
I’m aware that not all leftie Salt Lakers (let alone those other Salt Lakers) adore Rocky Anderson. Yes, he has a large ego (as well as “enormous balls,” according to some). I don’t necessarily think that’s a bad thing–I mean the ego. Or either. I know there are many more complaints. I just want to say this before I launch into the love letter I’m about to write.
- I would vote for Rocky Anderson as Mayor.
- I would vote for Rocky Anderson as Governor.
- I would vote for Rocky Anderson as President.
I want someone who thinks and speaks like Rocky Anderson to represent me and my family to the larger organizations that claim to govern us.
- I want someone who isn’t always being diplomatic and taking important points off the table.
- I want someone who sees big issues like climate change and connects to those issues on a local level.
- I want someone who isn’t afraid to hear what is on the minds of people who elected him.
For exactly the reasons so many Utahns hate and fear Rocky Anderson, I admire him. I agree with him. How often does that happen? Not very–especially when one lives in one of the most reliably red districts of one of the most reliably red states. I’m not alone.
Sasha Abramsky has written another article on Rocky Anderson for The Nation. The cover is scary, but the article is great. This creates more national exposure for the oasis that is Salt Lake City. An article on “Blue-ing the West” will appear in the next issue.
It’s time to listen to the Rocky Anderson mix of “Soul Singing” (by Jon Fox of 12th Harmonic) again. Get your soul singing. Then wonder what he was thinking when he endorsed a Republican to replace him. Wha?
