Alas, among its many leaders, Oregon doesn't have anybody like this:
His primary is June 1.

Thank god we don't. He lost me when he talking about those "illegals" being bused in. Politicians talking in buzzwords to make sure the "right" people get what he is talking about sounds appropriate for Alabama, not Oregon.
What a amazing caricature of human being. This is the twenty first century and we have a clown who has watched to many western movies getting confused. Go republican party!!!

We have plenty of people like him in Oregon. You can find them just about anywhere outside the Willamette valley with the exception of places like Bend and Sisters. In truth, they don't like how the state is being run by those in the valley.
I find this less offensive than Rex Burkholder's ridiculous Ad campaign with all the People "high" on Rex frolicking in the field. Darrin your comment about finding them outside of the Willamette Valley is off the mark; there are plenty of these people among us here in the valley.
I remember reading the Voters' Pamphlet in the late 60s - one edge candidate, Jack Ripper, I believe, ran for senate on the platform of physically moving the national capitol from the corrupt fever swamp it now occupies to the clean air of Eastern Oregon, I laughed then; I'm not so sure, now...
Jack....your presupposition of "many leaders".....who, pray tell, are they? methinks Oregon suffers badly on this score: Kulo???.....Kitz????...to name 2 losers.
Oddly, the "enlightened" commenter's here make fun of and belittle the straight talking Republican cowboy, but, will undoubtedly embrace their own Democratic one this fall.
One advantage of the Oregon cowboy: he has been shoveling horsesh*t a lot longer.
"One advantage of the Oregon cowboy: he has been shoveling horsesh*t a lot longer."
The Oregon cowboy has real cowboy boots and a real cowboy belt buckle the size of a salad plate to hold up his real cowboy jeans. Yep, you could not find a more real cowboy in Gov Kitz, unless you went deep into the stands of the Pendleton RoundUp and dug up a wannabe_Cowboy vacationing from Portland.
The only thing that Gov Kitz is more real at than being a real Oregon Cowboy, is being a real emergency room doctor. Except that he hasn't practiced in 30 years. So I guess Randy Leonard is more of a real Oregon Fireman than Kitz is either an MD or a Cowboy.

Nice hat. And a special moment when he points the rifle at the viewer (voter?), over his shoulder, as he walks away.

He said "A Marine during Vietnam", not a Marinie "in" Vietnam.
Can't be too careful these days.
Also, the rifle looks like a prop: it wasn't on his horse so somebody handed it to him before a cut.

aww, he uses facebook. That's sweet.

He shouldn't have his finger on the trigger. That's Hollywood, not NRA.

That Riffle will not fire unless the hammer is cocked. So its bad form only, also it's a good way to get GFW's to wet themselves.

You paddle riffles, fire rifles!
I can hear the director hollering Cut! Cut! as fast as he can wedge in another snippet.

there are plenty of these people among us ...here in the valley.
As a matter of fact, I recall that Governor Vic Atiyeh once appeared in an NRA advertisement while he was in office.

Maybe he and I can have dinner at this place.

Hey Lc Scott, I had to look up your acronym to find it stands for "Gun Fearing Wussies."
Well, I think the only people wetting themselves over this ad are the GLMs.
That stands for gun-loving morons.
