He's Crazy and He's Local
Normally I wouldn't pay any attention to who is running against my Congressman, Rep. Dave Weldon, since it's a secure seat for the conservative Republican, but, since Allahpundit and Rusty Shackleford are both posting about his Democrat opponent, Dr. Bob Bowman, maybe I should look into this one. Apparently Bob is pretty sure that it's Dick Cheney who was behind 9/11.
We have a live one here!
Again, my district is an extremely safe one for Republicans (our only locally elected Democrat is, appropriately, the tax collector), so you'd only expect a nut to actually waste the time running against Weldon. Still, maybe I could do some undercover work on this one to expose exactly how nuts many Democrats have become.
I'll need one of those glue-on mustaches and a fake name. Too bad "Rusty Shackleford" is taken.
UPDATE:
Here's Dr. Bob's campaign site and his views on 9/11.
More Views:
* CIA: It should be abolished.
* Crime: "If I were President, I would pardon thousands of nonviolent offenders and political prisoners." (not sure who the political prisoners are, but he supports a surrender on the war on drugs)
* Defense Spending: He wants to end our occupation... of Germany and Japan. Time to finally put an end to WWII!
* Gun Control: "Until we can disarm the crooks -- and the FBI and the DEA and the IRS and the INS and the CIA and the military -- we MUST allow citizens to bear arms to protect themselves against tyranny."
* North Korea: "Then why did we go to war against Iraq and not North Korea? Two reasons: (1) our leaders really knew Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction, and therefore Iraq would be much easier to defeat militarily than North Korea, and (2) North Korea doesn’t have any oil."
* Moral Issues: "I do agree that public servants need to set a high moral standard for themselves, as an example. As Presiding Archbishop of the United Catholic Church, I'm used to having to do that. And I favored the impeachment of Bill Clinton -- but for the right reason. Not over poor Monica. I would have impeached him for the bombing of Baghdad and the rape of Yugoslavia."
* Violent Videogames: He's against violent videogames because they're used by the U.S. military to desensitize our troops.
I so have to be a part of this campaign...
