That’s the scuttlebutt from the New Hampshire Union Leader, which says former California Republican Rep. Bob “B-1” Dornan is considering throwing his hat into the ring for 2008. His platform? Purge the adulterers and gays from the GOP:
“I can’t stand the thought of my party having as its three front-runners three open adulterers, Newt Gingrich, Giuliani, and McCain,” Dornan said.
“I’ve got one mission left in me, to come up to New Hampshire and tell the truth, and tell the Republicans you better find yourself a fresh face and not Rudy Giuliani who took his mistress around with him and then divorces Donnna who learns she was divorced sitting at home watching TV with her children.
“We need a fresh face if the Republican Party is going to appeal to an Orthodox Jewish, Evangelical or practicing Catholic.”
Aside from adultery, Dornan’s other issue is homosexuality, which he called “a cancer in my party.”
He said he’d consider backing the right candidate or even running for President himself.
“Fifteen hundred bucks (to file for President)? It would be worth it if I could stand in front of a huge audience again and say, folks, is the Republican Party the party of values, the party of life?”
Oh, this is gonna be good. Let’s see if this—unlike many of Dornan’s pet military aviation projects—can actually get off the ground.
