Let's all mock the stupid person

And Orion asks me why I vote against our State Rep., Mike Kelly, at every possible opportunity.

Allow me to present Exhibit A:

Now it's not JUST that I disagree with him on this particular issue, and it's not that I've never seen these arguments before, considering that they're pretty standard. It's primarily the air of frothing, paranoid idiocy oozing out of the whole opinion piece. (I think perhaps my favorite non-argument is his suggestion that legitimizing gay relationships is a slippery slope to heterosexuals living together without benefit of matrimony. GOOD GOD NOOOO!) This is his fairly standard approach to pretty much every issue that I've ever heard him speak on.

And this is why I intend to continue voting against him until someone (PLEASEFORTHELOVEOFGODPLEASE) defeats him.

Wow, I could only make it about a third of the way through that special piece of brain leakage before I started seeing red. And thinking about things that shouldn't be put online, considering it's about an elected official. Going somewhere else to breathe deeply, now!

oops, thought I was logged in

Yeah ... I think it's precisely *because* he's an elected official, and on a fairly high level (locally speaking), that this pisses me off so bad -- I mean, moreso than the same fevered rantings from someone else. It's just ... GRAAAAHHHHH.

honestly, it sounds like the crazy rantings of an old homeless guy on the bus. You know, the one wearing carhearts that you wouldn't use to insulate a doghouse and the smell that hurts you in the eyes?

*laugh* SO TRUE!

But in Alaska, of course, such people can actually get elected to office ...
