Politics, politics, politics.
 
If its not the war in Iraq, its Afghanistan.  If its not the fight on terror, its oil prices.  If its not oil prices, its immoral behavior in office.  If its not that, its the economy, stupid!
 
Politics.  Don't you just get sick of it?
 
If you're as tired of wading through the verbal diarhea as we are, you just may be in luck this upcoming election.  A paintballer is running for the Florida's Governor's Office.
 
Karl Behm owns 'Gotcha Paintball' in East Palatka, Florida, and he's running as an independant candidate this year, vowing to address issues that the professional politicians can't or don't want to touch, like eliminating taxes once whatever they were put in place for have been paid off, or helping Florida become a leader in the development of alternative fuel systems.
 
Behm is an 'everyday' kind of guy, owning and operating his paintball field and working with a tree service company;  he's served in the National Guard and, if his brushes with the law are any indication (no convictions, by the way) he's the kind of guy who stands up for what he believes in.
 
Forget trying to analyze the party politics of the Dems and the GOP and get your hands around a candidate who knows and loves something you're familiar with - Paintball!
 
Check out Mr. Behm and his candidacy and see if you're not willing to be a one-issue voter come this fall.  A paintball field owner has GOT to be good for the game!

Please note that 68caliber.com has not officially endorsed Mr. Behm for Governor;  we're checking into him and will have more reportage in the future - but we do endorse the idea of candidates familiar with paintball running for office!
