This is beyond disappointing and totally frightening.

Has the entire country gone insane ????

Idaho (even though they don't make the news much) is overflowing with crazy. The current governor (Otter) was bragging about how he couldn't wait to be able to kill wolves as soon as the federal govt. (illegally) pulled ESA protections through a rider in a spending bill.
I'm hoping they are nuts enough to elect Harley. Then things can really fall apart.

It's made even worse by the fact that the two fuck-nuts in suits are every bit as crazy as Harley Brown and Walt Bayes. They just clean up prettier, but Butch Otter is a two-faced ass-clown corporate whore, and Russ "I want to fuck Ron Paul" Fulcher is a racist, libertarian tea-party jackass who sympathizes with the dumb-shit criminals in Nevada.

The sad thing is, if these guys get elected, they will be up there with TED CRUZ, finding ways to shut down the government and making people suffer for just trying to make a day by day living. These are probably the type to think that it would certainly be easier to have a dictatorship than to run the country on the principles it was founded on. Scary.

Regardless, don't let the clothes fool you into thinking their ideas are all that different. Some are just way better at subtle.

The biker guy is truly abhorrent, but the other three are worse.

Is to chew into the time available to his one legit primary opponent and it worked like a charm. Sure these guys are idiots bit they are... Useful idiots. Don't get me wrong - Idaho is full of goof balls but those in power still know how to use the system to stay in power...
