RW nut running for US Senate sends campaign mailer to Tiller murderer
Kansas blogger Carolyn Marie Fugit somehow obtained a copy of an anti-abortion mailer that was sent from Todd Tiahrt's Senate campaign to Scott Roeder, the activist accused of gunning down abortion provider Dr. George Tiller in a Wichita church four months ago.

The letter says nothing about the nature Tiahrt's campaign, only that Roeder's name popped up on an anti-abortion mailing list and the congressman's forlorn campaign spokesman told the KC Star, “Oh great … We’ll make the vendor aware of it.”

My Commitment to:

Mr. Scott Roeder
Overland Park, KS

Halting moral decay in America is imperative and will be a top priority during my service in the United States Senate. I pledge to you to fight for the rights of the unborn, for traditional marriage, and to allow blocking trash on the Internet and in the media.

I will oppose the ACLU and those who wish to remove “In God We Trust” from currency and as our national motto, the 10 Commandments from our courthouses, Boy Scouts from public facilities, and “Under God” from our Pledge of Allegiance.

Congressman Todd Tiahrt

1. how in the hell do people like this tie together abortion rights and "In God We Trust" on currency
and as a national motto? Not to mention the other stuff with the commandments and the Boy Scouts.

Speaking of which, he wants to move Boy Scouts from public facilities? Or keep them there? Are the Boy Scouts mentioned in the Constitution?

3. If "blocking trash in the media" means stopping Fox News, it might almost be worth electing him.
Just kidding. An agenda of controlling women's bodies, discriminating against gays, censoring the Internet, killing freedom of the press, and mandating Christianity, sounds like a real recipe for a right-wing purgatory.

4. As a Christian
putting In God we Trust on our currency is a dangerous thing.
