Maine Tea Partier Announces Snowe Challenge At CPAC, Flaunts Birth Certificate

[sasha031]

Andrew Ian Dodge, a Maine tea party activist, announced at CPAC earlier today that he will challenge Sen. Olympia Snowe in the Republican primary in 2012, touting his slogan "Snowe has got to go" and flaunting his birth certificate, which he said was a response to accusations by his opponents that he is not a U.S. citizen.
Dodge said he is running because he believes there "needed to be a strong grassroots voice for fiscal conservatives." He slammed Snowe for her "glee" at hanging out at the White House, and for helping get the health care reform bill out of committee. "There's a reason she's a tea party target," he said.
He also said he supports Rand Paul's much maligned call to cut foreign aid, and mentioned something he had read about an "internet bailout," though in an interview with TPM later he couldn't provide any more details.

At the end of the Q&A session, Dodge remembered that he had brought his birth certificate to the event to prove his citizenship, since some of his political opponents had questioned whether he was a U.S. citizen.

4. what's even more fun

Dodge told TPM that his friends sometimes joke, "oh my god Andrew, you have something in common with Obama," and said the rumors probably stem from the fact that he's spent a lot of his life outside of the U.S., was educated in the UK and even married a UK citizen.

"They think because I've spent so much time in the UK I'm not really American," Dodge said. "It's xenophobia at it's worst. I find it despicable in this day and age."

[tularetom]

7. If ME Democrats were smart

They'd figure out some way to covertly support this doofus's candidacy in the primary and get rid of Snowe.

It doesn't seem like it'd be too much trouble to find a Democratic candidate that could smack the shit out of this silly lookin fucker.

Regardless of where he was hatched.

At 0:25, I think I heard "I'm taking it to the lext level as a physical conservative activist."

[RandySF]

24. I think Olympia Snowe is safe

[bluestate10]

30. Nothing would please me more than to see that psycho.

Defeat Snowe in the republican primary then get filleted, Christine O'Donnell style by the democratic nominee. And if the democrat somehow loose (channel Martha Coakley), having a teabagger nut case in Washington won't do much damage to democrats, but a lot to the future of republicans all over the country.
