No More Mr. Nice Guy!

"I'm God, and I vote."

Not that he is at all relevant to the presidential race, but if you needed any more reasons to oppose the corrupt, racist Duncan Hunter, here's one: he is endorsed by godvoter.org. This far-right outfit (which hides behind a proxy domain registration) sent an extremely intrusive and dominionist questionnaire to all the candidates, seeking to rank them on their slavish adherence to fundagelical dogma.

Only two candidates replied, Hunter and Tom Tancredo. Tancredo subsequently withdrew his answers, citing bigotry against Mormonism (he had at that point dropped out and endorsed Romney), so Hunter won by default - and his answers are very scary. For example, in answer to "If you had to choose between God and country, which would you choose?", he wrote: "By choosing the Lord, I honor my country."

Although none of the Dems answered the questionnaire, apart from Hillary (C-) they all get grades of D, D+ or D-. The lowest ranking candidate of either party is Romney, who gets an F (and a disdorsement [sic]) specifically because of his Mormonism.

The fact that Hunter has happily accepted the endorsement of these batshit raving christofascists makes him flat-out unacceptable for any office of public trust, let alone the presidency.

In a way it's amusing to watch the rethug candidates frantically chasing the loonie extreme-right christianist vote, and hopefully scaring the few remaining sane Republicans into voting for the Democratic nominee. Still, it's scary that the American Magisterium combines so much power and insanity.
