Oh I don't think he's really even gone off his deep end yet, but it's coming. What is pretty trippy is that by virtue of running the race he has, once Mitt gets his butt handed to him in the general, that the 'Pubs will start screaming that "we didn't run someone who was a real conservative (i.e. think Handmaiden's Tale), and that's why we lost," and old Rick will be the de facto front runner for 2016 Republican nomination. Though they still long in their hearts, souls, loins and wet dreams for St. Sara to run, but she's too busy being Oprah these days to worry about any sort of 'change' that isn't money in her pocket first.
Re: Bob Katter (pulled from Wiki)
- During their 1964 Australian tour, The Beatles were pelted by eggs from some unknown assailants. Katter, then a university student, later came forward and admitted his involvement, in what he explained was an "intellectual reaction against Beatlemania." (Because throwing eggs is the highest level of intellectual discourse in Australia?)
- He is critical of climate change and has been an opponent against enacting legislation to control emissions.
- In November 1989, Katter claimed there were almost no homosexuals in North Queensland.
- Katter described critics of Burgess as "little slanty-eyed idealogues who persecute ordinary average Australians."
- In 1997, Katter advocated changing the Child Support Scheme to lessen the financial maintenance obligations for non-custodial parents. He claimed there was an "anti-male bias" in the scheme, and that "in 90 per cent of cases the bloke has done nothing wrong [and] the woman was at fault".
And my favorite...
- Katter was accused in 2001 of signing a petition promoted by the Citizens Electoral Council (CEC), an organisation that claims the Port Arthur massacre was a conspiracy.
Oh no, he loves the conspiratorial claims too? He's just as nuts as our people are, you just have a shorter leash.
