    So Rammell thinks of himself as the fullfillment of an LDS prophecy? And, doesn’t believe that anyone but men should be able to discuss the issue?

    Wow. Just. Wow.

    ” Guv candidate Rammell calls meeting for LDS elders only/Rexburg Standard Journal”

    Wow indeed, what a complete nut.

    I say have non-LDSers attend these meetings incognito to see what this budding theocrat is up to, and report back accordingly.

    And if they are denied at door do to lack of magic underwear, well then, make a big deal out it. Wear their boxers and tightie-whities OUTSIDE of their clothes. Generally just make this the farce that it is.

    “Meridian teacher, GOP hopeful, faces burglary charge/KCBI”

    This teacher was defended by many parents when the incident occurred where he shoved an 8 year old kid up against a fence as a “traditionalist”.

    Politically, O’Neal was being supported by the Idaho Values Alliance, of course.

    From his candidate website:

    “I will lead this State and District with Fine Tuned Conservative specks. I will call on the talents of all in the party and engage and encourage my opponents to abandon the views and ideologies the Federal Government has currently backed and advocated for even though the Public has made their opinions noted in various polls and demonstrations.”

    “Fine Tuned Conservative specks”? What the hell does that mean? And this guy’s a teacher?

    “We also lost a Congressional Seat in the US House. This has to stop now, as it will halt the further growth of any Democratic Dust Storm that might be brewing in SW Idaho by defeating Sen. Nicole LeFavour and putting an end to all this progressive nonsense.

    However, pointing out how Progressive and Liberal my opponent is needs to address in the future weeks and months ahead. ”

    Nice grammar there, bud.
    Good luck campaigning from your jail cell. And getting your teaching job back.
