Bevin's weird presidential pick

Look, folks, you can vote for whoever you damn well feel like voting for. Just don't expect to be free from ridicule for it.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Matt Bevin, for instance, admits to voting for some straaaaange people (and not just himself). In 2004, Bevin was a staunch backer of Michael Peroutka for President. Peroutka, as you may recall, was the candidate of the far-right Constitution Party. Last year, Peroutka was elected to public office in Maryland as a Republican running on a dominionist platform.

Bevin boasted, "I have a 'Peroutka for President' t-shirt from 2004 in my drawer."

Peroutka has stated that he wishes Maryland had joined the Confederacy. The Human Rights Campaign has called Peroutka an "active white supremacist."

But it's not fair to pick on only Matt Bevin over his 2004 presidential choice. Most other Republicans voted for George W. Bush, also an active white supremacist.
