Republican House Candidate Who Said Autism Was the Result of God’s Anger Just Won her Primary
Susanne Atanus, the 55-year-old Republican who told a local newspaper that God put autism and dementia on Earth as punishment for marriage equality and abortion, just won her primary for a seat in the House of representatives. She will face off against incumbent Democrat Rep. Jan Schakowsky this November:
Voters in the Republican primary will have two very different candidates to choose from in the 9th Congressional District, as David Earl Williams III and Susanne Atanus vie for the right to face Rep. Jan Schakowsky in the fall…
“I am a conservative Republican and I believe in God first,” Atanus said. She said she believes God controls the weather and has put tornadoes and diseases such as autism and dementia on earth as punishment for gay rights and legalized abortions.
Party leaders in the state urged her to drop out of the race, but she didn’t. Worked out for her (and maybe the rest of us, too); she came away with a narrow victory over her opponent David Earl Williams III

That we don't control both houses of Congress when republicans keep putting up these nutbags!!!
Wow! 
Gave me nightmares when I was a kid (art by the great Mike McMahon).
But it sounds like her opinions are from:
Susanne @Anus
that is in no danger of going over to the GOP. this is a safe seat,
thank you for reassuring us of that. 
Susanne [font size="5"]A[/font][font size="1"]ta[/font][font size="5"]NUS[/font] doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell against Schakowsky. Jan will eat her for breakfast.
Little known fact: God causes conservatives to lose their marbles because they make a liar out of Him. 
Just asking..
