Wire Hangar Chandler Gets Another Repug Challenger

Anti-choice, anti-health care, Blue Dog DINO Ben "Wire Hangar" Chandler is still drawing the wrong opponents.

Repug Andy Barr has now been joined by a political virgin who apparently finds the recession unamenable for salemen.

Matt Lockett, a Republican from Nicholasville, is challenging Democratic incumbent Ben Chandler for the 6th Congressional District seat in Central Kentucky.

Lockett said in a news release that he filed Tuesday for the office. He could not be reached for comment.

Lockett’s Web site, www.mattlockett.net, says he is a Paducah native who currently holds a sales position. It also says he has a Master of Divinity degree from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville.

The Web site describes Lockett as “a true conservative, standing up for conservative ideals.”

You hear that, Wire Hangar? You've been called out! Go on, announce that you are the Bluegrass' true conservative, standing up for true conservative ideals. Ideals like restoring back-alley abortions, making people die quicker from lack of health insurance, and letting banks steal every last dime from working people.

Demand that the Sixth District's liberals put forth a Real Democrat to challenge you in the primary, so you can prove that the voters of the Sixth prefer their "Democrats" to be wingnut freakazoid bush/cheney worshippers.
