Homophobe Wingnut Del. Bob Marshall to announce GOP run for U. S. Senate

There are few Virginia elected officials who are more obsessed with gays and driving us from Virginia that GOP Delegate Bob Marshall pictured at left (he has actual said he'd be happy if gays would pack up and leave the state). He's just about as hysterical as Robert Knight, Peter LaBarbera and the men at Concerned Women for America when it comes to the "Gay Agenda." Like Knight and LaBarbera his obsession is so crazed that I often suspect him of being a self-loathing closet case out to punish those of us who have the convictions and integrity to leave openly and honestly.

In any event, this (in my opinion) lunatic has announced he wants to run for the U. S. Senate seat being vacated by John Warner's retirement. Marshall actually makes Jim Gilmore look somewhat rational and reasonable. Seeing these two try to out fascist the other to secure the GOP nomination could provide some interesting entertainment. I doubt either one of them can prevail against former Governor Mark Warner who is unopposed for the Democratic nomination.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Del. Robert G. Marshall, one of the House's most persistent abortion opponents, will announce his Republican candidacy for the U.S. Senate. Marshall, 63, of Prince William County, has scheduled a state Capitol news conference Monday afternoon.

His announcement makes him the second Republican in the race. Former Gov. Jim Gilmore is also running. The GOP nominee will be selected during the party's statewide convention in Richmond in June. Former Gov. Mark R. Warner is unopposed for the Democratic nomination to succeed retiring five-term U.S. Sen. John W. Warner, a Republican. The Warners are not related.
