DISQUS

While the election is over Simmons' "conversion" is hardly an example of Obama's appeal but of Josh's desire for the spotlight. I am a UF student and volunteer who worked along with Josh and Jessica Corbett in organizing many McCain events. Josh was terrible to work with going behind peoples backs and undoing things you had already done. In addition if he felt compelled to support Obama why did he not resign immediately instead of voting for Obama secretly while continuing to obstruct our efforts from the inside. It is one of the most dishonest actions I have encountered. It should also be known that he already scheduled media interviews for the time of the Biden rally before the local Republican Headquarters had spoken with him about his resignation. Clearly he had planned the conversion long in advance as a way to garner the spotlight and perhaps help with his stated goal of attending University of Chicago for Law school where Obama is well connected. Basically Josh Simmons is the ultimate illustration of why so many people hate politics because it is full of self serving corrupt thieves and lairs.
