Why Do I Live Here, Again?

[bloodyrosemccoy]

I got my voter pamphlet! I hope you all remembered to register. *adjusts Good Citizen Halo*

 

Here’s why I love living in Utah:

 

“… I believe in fiscal discipline and a strong military.  I oppose abortion, and believe that marriage is a union between a man and a woman. We must stop illegal immigration at the border and protect American jobs. Combating global arming (sic) and moving America towards greater energy independence is vital. America must win the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and bring our troops home. I firmly support the right of Americans to bear arms. …”

 

Thank you for that statement, Democratic candidate for Congressional District 3! I am glad I live in a different district!

This is Bennion Spencer, right? The guy who used to be a Mormon missionary, said Jesus Himself would vote for him? And who got the Democratic nomination despite having had never won any offices, because absolutely nobody else wanted the job?

UT-03 is insane. Absolutely nuts. It's the third most Republican district in the nation, only superceded by UT-01 and some place in the Alabaman hinterland. People there actually primaried out Chris Cannon, one of the most staunch neocons in Congress, for being insufficiently rabid. He wasn't wingnutty enough, basically. Jason Chaffetz, who is in favor of walling off the border and shooting illegal immigrants, will win this thing handily.

*grin* That's the dude, all right! Doncha love it?

I feel sort of silly registering to vote, since I'm pretty sure there's no way in hell it matters. But by god I'm doing it anyway, just in case ...
