Election Fasting and Praying
The Center for Arizona Policy, which Len Munsil resigned as president from to run for AZ Governor, has begun 40 days of prayer and fasting for the Arizona elections.
This freaks me out. Even when I was at my most devout, this would have freaked me out.

Um, yeah. This is definitely scary. As a church-going progressive Christian, I can say this has destroyed any chance of Munsil getting my vote. Yikes. Religious extremists and politics don't mix, people. It never has, never will.
Well, I guess it has, but to disastrous results. Just read the paper and the history books.
What a bunch of freaks!
And how do they get the right to use the old Senate Chambers in the AZ State Capital on Thursday morning for a wackjob prayer session?
Can just anyone hold a meeting there?
Hold on a second now-- let's just consider this idea for a moment. I mean we could see this as mutually beneficial— perhaps if they get so wrapped up and food deprived whiling pray that all the “spicks, queers and far beneath the poverty line minimum wage workers” stay away from the polls or, more likely just go forth into that good night. Perhaps they themselves as a consequence of food deprivation and unintelligible speaking in tongues all become delirious and forget to vote themselves.

That's what freaks do. They freak people out. It's really all they're good for, and they should not be given positions of political power.
When freaks do obtain political power, all they do is freak out a lot more people.
Munsil, from everything I've read about him, and from what CAP itself puts out, would simply not be a very good politician.
Compromise? He's completely unable to do do.
Empathize with others? Not on his to-do list.
Honor differences among Arizonans? Givest unto mine self a break.
He's a freak.
hey, you know what's awesome about this?
As election day draws nearer, each candidate's most hardcore fanatical supporters hit the streets even more, canvassing and phone banking for hours or days more than they had at any other time in the campaign. Consequently, the stress wears them down, and the stress combined with the increased workload makes you hungry all the time.
But now, Munsil's supporters, using their finely-tuned rational minds, have decided, hey, you know what, as election day draws nearer... lets all eat less.
