Larry Craig Challenger Changes Name To "Pro-Life"

A Senate candidate has legally changed his name to Pro-Life and will appear on the ballot that way this year, state election officials say.

As Marvin Pro-Life Richardson, the organic strawberry farmer from Letha, 30 miles northwest of Boise, was denied the use of his middle name when he ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2006 because the state's policy bars the use of slogans on the ballot.

Larry "Pro-Bono" Craig

[Felicty]

Surely you meant "Pro-Boner."

I'm so glad I don't have to call Idaho home and hear about these idiots every day. Spitzer paid for straight sex and lost everything, WideStance gives a BJ to a complete stranger in an airport bathroom and still in power? This reeks of Repug BS. Batshit crazy, to be sure.

[bajaboy]

Uh...no, he didn't. What he did was embarassing enough, but no sexual act was ever consumated. Get your facts straight, or you do more harm to the cause than doing nothing.

[ThePhilosopher]

He never ended up doing the sexual act when he was caught, but it's highly probable that he solicited sex numerous times before being caught. Chances are high that he consumated many sexual acts in bathrooms in the past.

[bigdaddyvike]

I stand corrected baja- soliciting sex from a complete stranger. My bad.

LoRiseAntlers: "Um,Larry Craig isn't seeking re-election,so how can this whack job be a 'Larry Craig challenger'?"

Um, Larry Craig stepped down (as he promised) so how can he 'not seek re-election' (as he also promised) ?

[bajaboy]

Get your facts straight. He's still in the Senate. He's just not running for re-election. Jeez, how can people continue to ignore the truth and the facts when they make comments. Makes me think the progressive movement has been infiltrated by chowderheads.

How about Biggus Dickus

[SCG]

I feel sorry for the voters.

[JohnCochtosten]

Wow, what a nut.

"David Ripley, executive director of Idaho Chooses Life, says he knows and respects Pro-Life but fears some voters may think Pro-Life is a position rather than a candidate and mistakenly mark their ballots both for him and for another anti-abortion candidate for the Senate, thus nullifying their choices. " -- Irony: Pro-Life on the ballot may cause voters to nullify their choice.

"was denied the use of his middle name when he ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2006 "

The same year that "Butch" Otter was elected governor.

Oh those wacky Idahoans! Whether it's the Mormons or the Patriots, the Nazis, or the Toe-Tapping closet homosexuals, what a bunch. Great potatoes!

[Cardhu]

Exactly what Idaho needs: another wacko as senator. Very sad.

[LoRiseAntlers]

Um,Larry Craig isn't seeking re-election,so how can this whack job be a "Larry Craig challenger"?

[JohnFromCensornati]

How is Marvin "No-Brain" Richardson a "Larry Craig challenger"?

[chuckgraner]

Richardson has a wide stance on the issues?
