Slipping closer to an Idiocracy, Illinois Republican Primary Winner Amazes.

Frequently I like to feature comments from the regressive right's candidates and/or lawmakers trying to convince us they should make all of the decisions for us. They want to "lead."

Nothing more insane than this recent primary winner. And like you, I'm seeing a real world "Idiocracy" playing out before my eyes. It really is possible. People liked her...message?


According to the Daily Kos:

Craziest person in Illinois wins Republican primary: "I am a conservative Republican and I believe in God first," Illinois congressional candidate Susanne Atanus said. She said she believes God controls the weather and has put tornadoes and diseases such as autism and dementia on earth as punishment for gay rights and legalized abortions.

"God is angry. We are provoking him with abortions and same-sex marriage and civil unions," she said. "Same-sex activity is going to increase AIDS. If it's in our military it will weaken our military. We need to respect God."

Atanus just won her primary. Back when she was saying those things even other Republicans were calling on her to withdraw from the race. Meet the new official, not-kidding Republican challenger to Rep. Jan Schakowsky.
