ORANGE COUNTY, CA -- Hair Consultant candidate Laura "Laloo" Johnson (see adjacent photo) brought it up a notch in her attacks - and made things a lot more personal - when she mocked her opponent Phil McWilliams for allegedly supporting liberal presidential candidate John Kerry.

"Phil is a TOTAL LOSER who supports John Kerry." said Laloo, during the chat room debate, who admitted greatly benefiting from President Bush's tax cuts.

At this time, it is unclear which presidential candidate Phil actually supports. The 23-year-old was unavailable for comment.

"Steve told me lots of his supporters in Manitou are liberal types who support legalizing drugs ... birds of a feather flock together as they say." wrote Laloo.

Earlier in the week, Steve "ColoradoGuy" Garufi admitted that he noticed that many of Phil's most passionate supporters such as Mark O'Shea, Rich "Pony66" Harland, "Elf Child " (who rejected Steve) and Ex-Mayor Bud Ford, are pretty darn liberal in their political views.

Laloo's attempt to nationalize the upcoming mid-April Hair Consultant election may be a "double-edged sword." While she may attract political conservatives to her camp, she might also push away liberals who support John Kerry, the liberal Massachusetts senator who apparently relishes in being seen publicly with Ted Kennedy.

Aaron Dourque, a supporter of President Bush in Lincoln, Nebraska, is an undecided voter in the upcoming election and stated, "(His liking of John Kerry) may have swayed me from voting for Phil."

Boki Evans (see adjacent photo), the campaign manager for Phil admitted he's "one of those liberals in Manitou" and had derogatory remarks upon learning the news.

"On the face of it, (Laloo) sounds like a dummy. If that's her argument, that Phil shouldn't be Hair Consultant (because he supports John Kerry) ... what an idiot woman!" said Boki at Spice of Life Cafe, who typically rants (quite annoyingly to Steve) about his left-wing political perspectives at the local hangout.

Ben Paulson of Bellingham, Washington (known as One with the Tao on the Politics Forum; See photo below), challenged Laloo immediately after her ridicule of Phil in the chat room debate.

Ben wrote: "Am I a loser because I support Kerry? What does american politics have to do with hair care?"

Laloo wrote: "With hair growth, there must be good hair government also."

Ben wrote: "That's fine, but calling someone a loser because they support Kerry is different. What I get out of that statment is that I am a loser in your book. And my Washington (electoral college) votes may not be headed your way."

Earlier in the chat room debate, Paulson wrote that he was leaning towards voting for Laloo "because nobody else showed up" to the chat room debate. "Laloo must be the only one who cares." he reasoned, but this was written before Laloo turned things political.

Steve, the owner of this webmaster, is maintaining neutrality throughout the Hair Consultant election. However, he "weighed in" on the controversy surrounding Candidate Phil and John Kerry.

"I don't really care where a person stands politically if they're my Hair Consultant, but I've got to wonder: If Phil loves John Kerry, who's weak on national defense, would Phil show some of those weak, permissive and liberal traits with me if I ever thought about cutting my hair short?" said Steve, who supports President Bush.
