Conservafool refiles as Democrat

Former Utah State Rep. David Hogue asks, "Why, after 47 years as a Republican, am I filing as a Democrat in the state of Utah?" Because the Democrats have been taken over by the Vichy wing that accepts ultraconservative kooks, perhaps?

Now I'm really thankful for the Greens! You know the Democratic big tent has gotten too big when this right-wing maniac is welcomed so gushingly.

As a legislator, Hogue was so right-wing that he introduced a bill to make it a felony for a parent to supply their kids with a "violent" video game. This idea was even more extreme than other legislative efforts to censor games, because at least other bills wouldn't have made it a crime for parents to buy their kids a game. Hogue also blamed video games for Columbine.

He went on to cry about a game called Bully because in this game "you can get even with bullies."

Hogue's support of school harassment and video game censorship earned him a Conservative Fool Of The Day entry on the old blog.

But now the authoritarian fascist has changed his party affiliation from Republican to Democratic to run for his old seat. And the Democrats are welcoming him with open arms, despite his extremism.

I sure as shit hope the Greens have a candidate. I realize suburban Utah probably has about 3 Green voters total, but there has to be an alternative to what otherwise looks like a gag election.
