agilebritI went poking around my state's election website today. Now, I knew, peripherally, that Dell Schanze was on the ballot, running for Governor on the Libertarian ticket. And I knew, peripherally, that the man is nutty as a fruitcake on his good days and totally off the rails when he forgets to take his meds.
And, seriously, if he wasn't so darn crazy, I might be tempted to vote for him, because I probably agree with him on more issues than I disagree with him on. Other than a couple of pretty fundamental issues, I'm more of a Libertarian than I am a Republican, and probably don't disagree with the Libertarian Party of Utah on those issues--at least, not if they're going to field a candidate like Schanze.
But then he puts this as his qualifications:
SUPERDELL is your only choice because YOU didn't file. Huntsman took away your freedoms and raised taxes more than any governor in the history of Utah. Springmeyer has admitted that he doesn't care about the Constitution. The definition of the word insane is voting for the same people and expecting change.
"There is no question that Dell Schanze is different. There are only 3 people on the ballot and SUPERDELL is the only one that is NOT socialist. If you are unsure then fill your heart with love, completely open your mind and pray to God earnestly. You can't afford to get this wrong and will be held accountable for your choice."
That's verbatim, quote marks and caps included.
Oh, Superdell. Don't ever change, man. The combination of your batshit insanity and your total sense is excellent exercise for my brain.

Of course, Cynthia McKinney is the Presidential candidate for the Green Party, so...I guess that's true.
