After yesterday's primaries in Illinois, one of the more interesting "winners" seems to be Republican Susanne Atanus in the 9th Congressional District.
This was Atanus' third run in the GOP primary. She lost in 2010 and was removed in 2012 when it was discovered she didn't have enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.
Just some of the "interesting" things Atanus has said:
• Atanus says she believes God controls the weather and has put tornadoes and diseases such as autism and dementia on earth as in response to gay rights and legalized abortions. "God is angry. We are provoking him with abortions and same-sex marriage and civil unions," she said.
• Atanus says same-sex activity in the military will weaken our armed forces because AIDS.
• Atanus would abolish the major stock indexes including the S&P, Dow Jones and Nasdaq to improve the nation's fiscal troubles.
Atanus will face eight term Democratic Rep. Jan Schakowsky, whose district hasn't elected a Republican to the House in 66 years.
Atanus' primary opponent, David Earl Williams III, is apparently so incredulous that Atanus beat him that he alleged on his Facebook page that Schakowsky urged her supporters to cross party lines and vote for Atanus.
“What is wrong Jan, are you afraid of a real challenge?” Williams said. “It seems like our favorite Congresscritter can’t handle a true fighter on your side.”
