This story, from the Associated Press, describes the North Carolina Republican Party's attempts to derail the candidacy of Tim D'Annunzio, the favored Tea Party candidate in a district now represented by a Democrat. D'Annunzio won the GOP primary in the district, but still faces a run-off against an established Republican candidate.
Why does the GOP fear this guy?
Well, an excerpt from the story:
"In Hoke County divorce records, his wife said in 1995 that D'Annunzio had claimed to be the Messiah, had traveled to New Jersey to raise his stepfather from the dead, believed God would drop a 1,000-mile high pyramid as the New Jerusalem on Greenland and found the Ark of the Covenant in Arizona. A doctor's evaluation the following month said D'Annunzio used marijuana almost daily, had been living with another woman for several months, had once been in drug treatment for heroin dependence and was jailed a couple times as a teenager."
He also describes the government as "the antichrist."
Good luck with that!
