Another Day, Another GOP Crackpot Candidate

Today it's "constitutionalist pastor" (i.e., talibangelist) Stephen "He's No Bro" Broden, Rethug / New Confederate Party candidate for the 30th Congressional district in Texas. As Think Progress reports, Broden thinks the violent overthrow of the U.S. Government is "on the table" if the government is not producing results (to his liking). Fortunately, it's not considered likely this crank will ever enter the halls of Congress (he's running behind incumbent Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson), but the fact that he's their nominee tells you all you need to know about the increasingly fringe Rethuglican / New Confederate Party.
