From Wonkette:

To most American political fanatics, Ron Paul is just a goofy hobbit whose hilariously doomed online presidential campaign provided standout entertainment in a year that offered a wealth of hilariously doomed campaigns.

But to many of his constituents in Texas Congressional District 14, Ron Paul is just a blame-America-first attention whore who completely ignores the people who put him in office. There are no Democrats running in the 14th District primary next Tuesday—so if Ron Paul loses, he will have the honor of being a double loser in the eyes of his beloved constituents. With this in mind, Wonkette enthusiastically endorses Chris Peden for Congress.

Of course, Wonkette is not serious about its endorsement, but I couldn't resist paying Peden's website a brief visit. I only had to read the first paragraph to realize the man is no friend of mine. I quote the paragraph, with my own elucidations in square brackets:

My name is Chris Peden. I'm a Pro-Family [he hates gay people and single parents], Pro-Life [he puts foetal rights before women's rights] Christian conservative [meaning: his church is right, yours is wrong] who believes in free markets [good], smaller government [good], and individual responsibility [but not individual liberty!].

Not only Wonkette endorses Peden, so does a bunch of Texas pastors. A letter of endorsement is published on the website. I just love the opening phrase, "Greetings! Jesus is Lord!"

I wonder if Jesus, too, endorses Peden?

(This is the kind of silly writing the combination of Wonkette and good wine makes me do.)
