President Obama’s first announced primary opponent has stepped up to the plate. No, it’s not a progressive challenger from the left – it’s anti-abortion nutter Randall Terry! What could possibly go wrong? Just listen to his platform which will warm Democratic hearts everywhere.
“We will focus on a theocentric libertarian platform,” Terry told the crowd of maybe a couple dozen supporters and press.
What’s that? Pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Terry said he will run an “unashamedly theocentric campaign.”
“The Constitution of the United States of America is a phenomenal document,” he said. “But it is not the primary document that was given to the human race to govern themselves. That would be the Ten Commandments and the Sermon On The Mount.”
His plan is extremely well-reasoned and logical. He plans on taking advantage of the open caucus process.
Terry also says running as a Democrat provides him with the chance to “humiliate” Obama in Iowa. It’s less than likely that Team Obama will mount a vigorous campaign to take on Democratic challengers like Terry, which Terry suggested could be a big mistake. Using “two RVs,” his collection of volunteers and his large mailing list, Terry plans to storm the Hawkeye State starting in March to convince voters to become Democrats just to throw a protest vote Obama’s way.
“The Iowa caucuses are designed so that people — Republicans, Democrats and Independents — can walk into the caucus, the night of the caucus and say ‘tonight, I’m a Democrat,'” Terry explained. “Together, we can take this primary train, with pro-life and tea party values down Democrat rails.”
“Even if I get 35-40% of the vote in Iowa, it’s a massive embarrassment to President Obama and it shows the level of voter rage against this man,” Terry said.
I don’t see how this plan could possibly fail. :eyeroll:
