Michigan candidate wants gays purged from GOP

The "Big Tent" party just keeps shrinking. No matter how crazy you think they can get, they never fail to get even crazier. Perhaps some Log Cabin Republican can explain why he/she remains in the Party of Madness.

A new candidate for a Michigan seat on the Republican National Committee wants gays "purged" from the GOP and claims homosexuality is a "perversion" created by Satan himself.

Mary Helen Sears of Houghton County in the state's Upper Peninsula, elected vice chair of the Michigan Republican Party's 1st District last year, posted a rant in April on the Schoolcraft County GOP website.

In the post, Sears claimed that homosexuals prey on children, argued that "Satan uses homosexuality to attack the living space of the Holy Spirit" and advocated that Republicans "as a party should be purging this perversion and send them to a party with a much bigger tent."

And Mary Helen Sears says she worked as a critical care nurse for 20 years? That's pretty scary, frankly.
