Your Republican nutjob of the day

9th congressional GOP hopefuls differ on many issues

snip:

Atanus was outspoken on several other issues, as well.

"Abortions should not be used for birth control," she said during an endorsement session both candidates had with the Daily Herald editorial board on Monday.

Williams said he also is pro-life, but said the decision should be between a woman and her doctor without government involvement.

"I am a conservative Republican and I believe in God first," 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."

When people look at these nuts vs corrupt bullies like Christy, Christy gets a pass imo.

What a shamefully stupid individual. It is an embarrassing that someone this stupid and crazy is running for office. People like her make our country look ridiculous. She should be in an institution, not a representative of the people.

5. Yeah, this lunatic says she's "focusing on the economy" during the campaign, but I'd bet real

money that abortion would be her primary focus & "the economy" would fall by the wayside if she ever got elected. These nuts just can't seem to help themselves.

that "tornadoes and diseases such as autism and dementia" might be God's punishment for the way they've been treating gays, the poor, the environment, etc... and that conservative nut jobs are actually the source of the wrath of the almighty? It couldn't be their behavior, right? (Disclaimer: I don't believe that God is responsible for any of these things)

But putting aside the "Oh THAT's the part of this you find unbelievable" element of these statements, wouldn't treating people badly be a more likely source of retribution?

OTOH: I believe that the Lord bought disease to earth because of Republicans.

On second thought, Republicans ARE the disease.

There was no dementia, autism, tornadoes or other diseases?

I hadn't heard that. None of my history classes ever mentioned it.

Oh, wait idiots have no f#$king clue they are even stupid.
