Local Dipshit, Tom Metzger, to run for Congress

We have talked about Tom Metzger before. In July, his home was raided by the ATF in connection with an investigation of into Dennis and Daniel Mahon who are suspected of mailing a bomb that injured three in Scottsdale, AZ.

Well. That was pretty awesome. As we know Tom Metzger is among America's greatest douchbags. Well there is some news on the the dipshit front. The Times-Union is reporting that Metzger is going to run for congress, we assume of the dipshit ticket. Quoting:

Warsaw resident and avowed white supremacist Tom Metzger is seeking the Third District U.S. Congressman seat as a write-in candidate.

Mark Souder currently holds the seat.

Souder (R-Fort Wayne) is seeking his ninth term and was elected to Congress in 1994 after working for U.S. Senator Dan Coats (R-IN) for 10 years during Coats' tenure in the House and Senate.

Ann Torpy, chief deputy clerk, said a write-in candidate for U.S. representative is not required to have a petition signed by voters.

They will only need to file a declaration of intent to be a write-in candidate with the Indiana Election Division by noon July 6.

Torpy said Metzger's name will not be on the May 4 primary ballot or the November 2 since he is a write-in candidate.


So there is that. I do not know what we here at Sith ought to be do about this. Any ideas?

Write-in a vote for Tom Selleck?

"is seeking the Third District U.S. Congressman seat as a write-in candidate."

I do not think that one "seeks" a Congressional set via write-in candidacy.

I mean, if we get to use "seeks" to describe write-in candidacy then I have "sought" every office, ever, as a write-in candidate. My Miss Teen America write-in candidacy was especially awesome.

If fuckhead is effectively saying "I hope people write-in my name"? That's not "running". That's not "seeking". That is articulating a desire.

Fuck-all anyone can articulate a desire.
