Reply #33: There were 6 GOP candidates during their primary in 2006 for that seat in Congress. [View All]

[Major Hogwash]

The top 3 were far more qualified than Sali.
But, the top 3 candidates split the vote so bad amongst themselves that Sali was able to win a narrow majority.
Nobody could believe it, most of all, the Republicans!!

Sali is an extremist - he believes that abortion leads to breast cancer.
No one supports his belief because there is no scientific evidence to back it up, but the anti-abortion attitude is prevalant here, so he was able to count on those people to vote for him that fall.

However, the anti-gay attitude here is just as prevalent.
Idaho is the state that time forgot - we're stuck in the year of 1954!
People here don't want gay marriages, or civil unions.
They don't even want to talk about men living with each other, it drives them crazy even thinking about it.
And they think about it a lot here.


So, we might even wind up getting a Democrat in the U.S. Senate next year because of Senator Larry Craig's daliances in airport rest rooms, as a result.
Not even the Republican governor wants to be seen with Craig, and Risch (the GOP candidate for his Senate seat) doesn't want Craig's endorsement!

Oooh, the irony of it all.
The best part of irony is the ironic part.

LoL
