[font size=5]Tea Party Candidate Puts Out Most Bizarre Political Ad Ever[/font]
If there is a weirder and more bizarre focus in a political ad, I'm not sure what it is.
Tim Donnelly is definitely one of California's fringier lawmakers. ThinkProgress:
Thats the image Donnellys decided to present to voters in a surreal ad starring himself and Cuban-born singer and actress María Conchita Alonso. At one point, the ad degenerates into a discussion of whether Donnellys wife or Alonso is more sexually attractive. Also, Donnelly wants voters to know that hes very angry. And that he thinks McDonalds restaurants in his state should pay $20 per hour because were Californians.
Though the decision to include Alonso, who speaks exclusively in Spanish during Donnellys ad, is likely an attempt to appeal to Latino voters, hes probably facing an uphill climb with that particular constituency. Donnelly is a founder of the Minuteman movement in California, a group of anti-immigrant vigilantes. Indeed, Donnelly was featured on the Colbert Report proclaiming that it is a great day to be a vigilante. He then discusses how he considered hiring illegal aliens to build a border fence at the California-Mexico border.
Guns, big balls, extremist vigilantes and a sexy wife. What other qualifications could he possibly need for re-election?

Long live the legacy and policies of the late great Hugo Chavez.
I am still in mourning.
What a great man of the people.
