Wisconsin GOP U.S. Senate candidate wants to outlaw homosexuality and pornography.
Source: http://thinkprogress.org/2010/07/08/pagels-homosexuality

Ernest J. Pagels Jr. is a long shot contender for the Wisconsin GOP Senate primary, vying for the opportunity to run against Sen. Russ Feingold (D) this September. And perhaps there’s a reason. Pagels recently ran an ad on a local Milwaukee television station outlining what he plans fight for as one of Wisconsin’s two U.S. senators:

PAGELS: Hi my name is Ernest J. Pagels Jr., I’m a born again Christian, a U.S. veteran and a very conservative Republican. I’m running for U.S. Senate from the state of Wisconsin and if elected I will initiate a bill to outlaw homosexuality, abortion, and all forms of pornography. I think these are three ills that are plaguing our nation and bringing it down. And if elected, I will also initiate a bill for a Constitutional amendment which prohibits Congress and the President from spending more money than they bring in. My name is Ernest J. Pagels, Jr. and I hope you vote for me on September 14.




Republicans have long been plaguing this nation and bringing it down. I think we should initiate a bill for a Constitutional amendment which would outlaw all republicans from ever running for any government office.

3. I posted about this guy in the Wisconsin forum.
He had an ad on channel 12 out of Milwaukee.

Half his ad was him saying the views in your post, and the other half was Biblical verses on the screen.

He's a fundy asshole.

4. So does born again Christian mean that
He goes away from Christian principles when he wants but then when it's necessary, he says he's born again?

I think like you guys have said "dead" at nights and on the weekends born again Sunday through friday 8-5 ;)

8. For the umpteenth time a conservative who wishes for a good ol' society.
And he might also think that liberals "hate freedom". Meanwhile I wonder what he'd do about brainwashing fundie homeschool parents or Glenn Beck.

12. Reminds me of "V for Vendetta".
Strength through unity.
Unity through faith.

Orwell was wrong on one thing, his dystopian vision will not come true through the left wing movement. It will be the Flying Monkey right.
