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?
ReplyDelete"is seeking the Third District U.S. Congressman seat as a write-in candidate."
ReplyDeleteI 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.
except.. that one has to notify the election division..
ReplyDeleteso.. seems.. like.. on this.. one.. technical.. detail...
Metzger's not.. un-right?
