Abortion foe (Randall Terry) plans Obama (PRIMARY) challenge

[jenmito]

An outspoken anti-abortion activist says he wants to unseat President Barack Obama next year — and he wants to do it via the nearly impossible path of a Democratic primary challenge.

Randall Terry, who founded the group Operation Rescue and has been arrested numerous times for his aggressive approach to opposing abortion rights, plans to announce a primary challenge against Obama on Thursday outside the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington.

Besting a sitting Democratic president from far off his right flank is exceedingly unlikely. In an interview with POLITICO, Terry was blunt about being an underdog and said his main goals are to bloody up Obama politically and draw more attention to the abortion fight.

[jenmito]

5. Now THIS is a primary challenge that could make Obama stronger. n/t

[brooklynite]

6. Makes sense to me...

Running as an anti-abortion yahoo in the Republican Primary, he'd get lost in the crowd...

7. Anti-Abortion Terrorist (Randall Terry) plans Obama (PRIMARY) challenge

[MountainLaurel]

11. A terrorist running for president

[Arkana]

12. Randall Terry is a Democrat? Since WHEN?

[jenmito]

13. He's NOT, but I guess he's planning on changing his party ID to Dem. so he can

primary Obama.

[MadMaddie]

20. This is what Republicans are doing

claiming they are Republican or Independent....Joe Lieberman comes to mind. Extreme Bluedogs come to mind....

[jenmito]

21. Randall Terry ran as a Repub. twice and lost. He's supposedly going to become a

Dem. just to run against Obama. We'll find out tomorrow.

[MadMaddie]

27. Shoot I meant to say "Democratic"

[zulchzulu]

14. Randall Terry has admitted he did LSD in the past

So it was shitty acid. Funny how that works out...

[jmowreader]

29. It must have been time release shitty acid

Normally that stuff wears off in a few hours.

[onenote]

15. you know who has to hate this idea? Sarah

Terry's quixotic run in Democratic primaries will suck money away from Sarah from the anti-choice crowd. And since you can't vote in both the Democratic and repub primaries, any voters that follow Terry's lead and switch parties in some misguided quest to "bloody" Obama are going to be voters that most likely would have supported Sarah in the primaries.

Its actually quite funny.

[MadBadger]

16. Interesting location

[davidpdx]

17. Hey Randy, you flipping wack job

I'll bet you $100,000 and give you a 80 point spread that you don't win. Want to take the bet?

[11 Bravo]

18. Translation: Randall Terry shouts, "Hey! Over here! Look, I'm still alive!"

It has to be killing some of the RW whack-jobs that crazy has been so thoroughly mainstreamed into the Republican party that they no longer even cause a raised eyebrow.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

19. Huh?

I didn't know Terry is a registered (or soon-to-be registered) Democrat? Who knew?
:wtf:

Are fundie heads exploding in churches everywhere right about now? Will they be voting enmasse for a........"Democrat"?

This is like, seriously wierd. :crazy:

[treestar]

22. Maybe he'll find the two Dems who would vote for him

Somewhere in blue, blue, blue dog country.

[Ter]

23. Suppose he wins

Who do we vote for if it's Palin vs. Terry? :D

[rasputin1952]

24. Terry is a whack job, and appears to be a masochist as well...

the whole thing is to advance his agenda, a single issue, and the only good thing is, he'll be the one to get bloodied...:D

ETA: Delusional asshole. It's all about cash and notoriety.

[wndycty]

26. Well some folks did want Obama primaried

:kick:

[Monk06]

28. Terry is doing this in the delusional hope that he can force the President of the United States

to debate him. The man is too dumb to be allowed to ride
a bicycle without a helmet.

[slackmaster]

30. There's always a clown in every election

I hate clowns.

[jenmito]

31. Well, he announced his run according to Politico:

Anti-abortion activist Randall Terry formally declared his candidacy as a primary opponent to President Barack Obama Thursday, promising a campaign that would be heavy in graphic imagery intended to inflame the national abortion debate.

And that Democrat is Lee L. Mercer Jr. (All three!)
