Ken Wahl on possible congressional run: ‘I don’t want your money’
So @KenWahl1, are you running for Congress?

“Wiseguy” actor Ken Wahl has attracted a conservative Twitter following for his tweets supporting wounded warriors, blasting Obamacare, slamming Hollyweird politics and skewering limousine libs.
The Daily Mail reports that Wahl is now considering running for Congress.
TY @DailyMailUS Ken Wahl-one-time 'sexiest man on television,' may run for Congress supported by Playboy Barbi Twins http://t.co/gon7mUN79x

If Wahl tosses his hat in the ring, he would run as an independent.
‘If I were to do it, one of the reasons would be to go against this antiquated two-party system.’
‘Now, I don’t think that I would win,’ he conceded. ‘Maybe I’d wake up a few people. But I think it would be worse for me personally, and for the country, if I ran on a Republican ticket.’
But don’t whip out your checkbook for Wahl for Congress or WiseguyPAC. The potential candidate would rather you donate to charity instead.
I believe in free markets but US elections shouldnt b 4 sale-It's been "whoever has most $ wins" 4-2 long-Vote 4 principles not fund-raisers

Wahl continued slamming the Obama administration today and took a couple of swipes at Hillary 2016.
When Obama said "Hope & Change" I took it to mean,I hope we have some change left after he's done taxing the hell out of us #tcot #TeaParty

Obama says he's 4 the poor but had nothing but uber-rich "limo-liberals" at his fundraisers-shame!-Think Hillary will b any different? #ccot

If Hillary is such an independent woman why doesn't she use the name Rodham instead of Clinton? Obvious-She's all about $ & marketing #tlot
