Paging Senator Nutjob.....
This is real, this is not a joke. I scanned these myself earlier tonight, and this is the state of American politics. Please feel free to spread this around so people know what's going on here...because they'd never believe it if they didn't see it themselves. Send this to folks in other countries so they can have a good laugh too.
Take a look at the 2 scanned pages. They are from the most recent Voter Pamphlet- in other words,
these 4 people are my choices for the next Senator from Washington State. Out of the 4, only one appears not to belong in an insane asylum. The other 3 are certifiable crankcases that may end up representing my State as a
UNITED STATES SENATOR,
one of the most powerful elected positions in the entire country!
For your convenience, I've summed up their campaign platform statements for you below, but for the full effect, you just HAVE to look at the scanned pages.
As Dave Barry says, "I am not making this up." This is 100% true.
NOTE: The names shown below are indeed the ACTUAL names of the candidates competing for U.S. Senator. See the scanned pages for proof.
---------------------------------------------
1) Michael Goodspaceguy Nelson: "We must colonize outer space immediately, and build orbital space colonies around the Earth, the Moon, and Mars. The government should employ people with 'problems'."
2) Mike The Mover: "1) Iraq is a bad place to be. 2) Stop picking on girls. 3) I want to go into the boxing ring for 3 rounds with Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, who is a 500 lb sissy."
3) Mohammad H. Said: "I had a couple of minutes to kill, so I decided to run for the position of United States Senator. Israel is a mistake.

4) Hong Tran: The only sensible candidate, she wants us out of Iraq and wants to protect our civil liberties. I repeat, she is the only one who doesn't sound like she should be involuntarily committed to a mental hospital. I don't how the hell she slipped through.

No shit, this is NOT A joke- these are my choices as to who to vote for to be my next Senator. And they wonder why Americans aren't more involved in the political process. (sigh)
