As if it's not bad enough in the 2nd District ...

[LisaLynne]

The guy "challenging" Chocola in the primaries is a real piece of work ... He wants to send dead-beat dads to guard the borders, but only if they have 20 or more kids all by different women because they are "fornicating orphan-making alpha males" or something ... :eyes:

1. So what's his PARENTING background?

Any signs of divorce? Children? A brain?
That is one weird dude; what rock did he crawl out from under?
Anyone have any background info they can share on him? He obviously likes seeing his name on the Internet...

2. So idiot dude thinks there are a whole lot of "dead beat dads" with

20 + kids? Ya that will do a lot to help single mothers, and will simultaneously help the border problem :sarcasm: What an idiot.

3. At this point...

I wouldn't be half surprised if this guy is just some sort of ringer to make Chocula look good. Kind of "Sure, Chocula is a tool of the corporate kleptocracy, but at least he won't draft us!!!"

4. That's true.

And it's sad that they'd have to find this much of a nutbag to make Count Chocola look back, but that's the state of things.

5. If this is the case than the State Democrat Party leaders havent changed..

meaning I tthought this year we really had a chance to win the 2nd district and have a real challenger..rather than the same ol'same ol' token candidate. ( I said State but I would think the district could at least recruit a real candidate which still leads back to the State Democratic leaders)

6. this isn't the main dem candidate. I believe that the challenger

from 2002 is running again, and that a number of national congressional race observers call it a near toss-up, slightly leaning republican. Meanwhile I think that Soderal's and Hostettler's races are now considered full toss-ups.

7. Well then ..that's great news

So it looks like we could gain at least 3 seats ..and I dont think I'm being overly optimistic to say 4 because I think the 6th district could swing our way..

8. You are right

This guy is not the main challenger. He is universally hated by the dems working up there.

9. With ideas like this

He sure won't get elected as a street cleaner. Oooops, thats a deadbeat dad job.
