MANDEVILLE, La. — Louisiana’s Libertarian Party Senatorial Candidate Anthony “Tony G” Gentile told supporters on Sunday not to fret about the lack of attention from the press. Jokingly he told friends and supporters, “If I take my shirt off to win votes I’ll actually lose votes, my belly’s too big! I also have no need to seek out a madam.”
Gentile’s Web site has more than 9,200 hits in a little more than one month. “The word is getting out and the offers of help are rolling in, it’s very inspiring,” Gentile added. “On my website, to my knowledge, I am the first and only candidate to have a written guarantee, if I do not perform in a positive fashion, fire me. I will resign. Every November we’ll look at the feedback from you the voters and my voting record. If I cannot reconcile my actions with your concerns, I will resign.”
He continued, “We all know when we’re doing a bad job. If I can look at myself in the mirror regardless of the image I see and can say I did my best yesterday keeping my principles and values intact with a goal of striving to do better today, then I am doing well. If I can’t do that and it becomes a habit it’s time to find another line of work. I would have to believe that if the current candidates who are in office gave the same offer when they were elected they wouldn’t be there now.”
In his closing statements Gentile reminded his supporters of some of the candidate’s promises from prior elections. “They come with big money and big promises. The results aren’t there. In every life ranking Louisiana is nestled in the bottom. That’s not the result I am looking for and I do not believe that is acceptable to you.”
