What local candidates don’t want voters to know

by Matt Coker

Orange County congressmen ED ROYCE, CHRIS COX, KEN CALVERT and DANA ROHRABACHER are BIG, FAT PUSSIES!!! And if it’s okay to call a chick a pussy and mean she’s a wimp without having it interpreted as a reference to her vaginal orifice, then, yessir, Congresswoman LORETTA SANCHEZ is a BIG, FAT PUSSY, too!!! But our big, fat pussy parade does not end at the House, my friends. State Assembly members TODD SPITZER, JOHN CAMPBELL and LYNN DAUCHER? PUSSIES—BIG, FAT ONES!!!

Okay, so why are all these clean-cut cretins two balls short of a full set? It’s because they won’t answer simple questions that would let their constituents/would-be constituents know where they stand on the issues. These were not questions crafted by the liberal pinko faggy OC Weekly. A nonpartisan, nonprofit group that wants nothing more than for average folks to feel connected to their representatives—and vice versa—is behind the 2004 National Political Awareness Test. So why did all these candidates—who’ve been pestered for six weeks by the group, Project Vote Smart, a bipartisan slate of national political leaders and media representatives (including one from liberal pinko faggy OC Weekly)—essentially hide under their desks when we all came a-calling?

Well, when it turned out that only 56 percent of the congressional candidates and 50 percent of the state legislative candidates in California took this year’s test, Project Vote Smart decided to ask. Increasingly, the answer was that candidates feared that if the public knew their views, opponents would use the information against them.

After a brutal campaign for U.S. Senate in Arizona in 1985 left Democratic nominee Kimball disillusioned, he started his national research organization, which is funded entirely by foundation grants and individual contributions from 46,000 members. The man who beat Kimball in that Senate race, John McCain, is now on Project Vote Smart’s founding board along with Newt Gingrich, George McGovern, Geraldine Ferraro, Michael Dukakis and Senate speaker Bill Frist.
