as a write-in candidate. He want to strip all Americans of Marriage Equality and introduce laws that only allow children through a man’s sperm and an woman’s egg. Because, I guess at some point he saw “Queen of Outer Space” starring Zsa Zsa Gabor and is concerned that eventually, men will become obsolete and the human race will become like Bees. After all, this is why there are no humans living on the planet Venus, isn’t it? Not the runaway greenhouse effect! Or the inability for human interplanetary travel, yet!
He asked that people spread the word “quietly”. So can we get our own Todd Akin disaster going right here and once and for all shame the Republican Party out of Massachusetts? Let him be in the debates! Please let him be in the debates!
Happy Friday!

…he is an independent candidate and the Republicans have no responsibility for him so any Todd Akin moments he has don’t reflect on the GOP. What might harm the GOP, however, is peeling away whatever right-wing vote there is in MA if he gets traction, but I’m not holding my breath.

But because he has history as a Republican and being so far out there in his own insane little world, eventually by declaring his only point in running is because Gabriel Gomez is pro-marriage equality, and that because of his wacko ideals are in-sync with the Republican platform, it might, IMHO be fun to watch the Republicans run away from him, while having their pathetic platform thrown back in their faces over and over again. I agree, I am not holding my breath, and I suspect even RMG will crush this before it goes anywhere.
I see this as being like the “Who are the REAL Republicans” fight like they had over the delegates to their convention last summer.

A write-in candidacy violates the sanctity of traditional balloting. It’s one signature-one vote-one ballot, we can’t mess with nature folks.

impact the election.

Mr. Howard is not taken particularly seriously over at RMG, either. It’s not as if the social conservatives who post their are all eager and excited to support him and his particularly kooky take on the world.
jconway says
He is truly a constituency of one, I am quite sure his brief attempt at ‘purple mass group’ was a one man show.
He reminds me of the guy who has been protesting circumcision in front of the U of C hospitals for the past twenty five years. In rain or shine he will tell you getting it snipped is unsafe and against God’s law. And God bless him, he is a walking advertisement for the first amendment in all it’s glory and all it’s flaws. John Howard is much the same, I doubt he’d crack 100 votes.

endlessly fighting a battle no one else cares about. So basically we agree, but with different examples.

Just described that episode to a friend the other day, and Mad Men made a satirical reference to it last season. Let that Be Your Last Battlefield. And yeah its the Riddler!!

and keeps his powder dry for next year’s gubernatorial election, which Scott Lively says he’s likely to run in. đŸ˜‰
