Oh, FUCK no! If drafted I will not campaign, if nominated I will not run, and if elected I will not serve.

That’s only because he’s in the MN 6th district- the most conservative district in MN. Formerly held by Michele “crazy eyes” Bachman. He’s a dim bulb alright- went to U of Alaska Anchorage to play hockey. Yikes.

I do not blame you at all. I once read a statement from a man who had been elected mayor of some small town, and he said that the worst thing about being elected to public office was the unexpectedly vast number of assholes he had to work with every day. I would not be able to do it. I would, however, accept a lifetime appointment as Benevolent Dictator of the Universe.

In his defense, in response to previous electoral defeat the Republicans vowed to change and soften. They then got worse and more hateful and it worked. At least now they're being honest about not doing shit.
