Only the political brother seems deranged. Maybe he was dropped on his head as an infant?

There's something wrong with this man. As a little indication, life begins at conception (serious contraception issues), assault weapons legal, no tax increases for the wealthy, get rid of Social Security (pro "privatization" ), Obamacare is unconstitutional, bar EPA from regulating greenhouse gases, and he wants to designate the first weekend in May as 10 Commandments Weekend.

From Rep. Gosar himself:

Dr. Gosar Mourns the Day Religious Freedom Died

Dr. Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S released the following statement in regards to the (ACA's) contraceptive mandate, which goes into effect today and will require all non-exempt employers to provide health care coverage that includes abortion-inducing drugs or else pay a steep tax:

“Today is a sad day in America. The contraceptive mandate is unconstitutional and a gross violation of our First Amendment right to freedom of religion,” said Dr. Gosar. “We are witnessing another event in a pattern that shows this Administration is the biggest enemy to unborn children than any prior administration.” ...


Dropped on his head or perhaps the moral and intellectual runt of the family litter.

That race is not on any of the competitive lists, nobody is offering wagering on it, and the partisan index is +21 red.

Even more strange for an ad like that when they have to know he is a cinch

Arizona is my state and it needs to turn BLUE! The GOP has screwed things up and we need to fix it.

Before Giffords was shot and we lost the seat due to the inept successor there were 5 Democratic Congressmen to 4 Republicans.

AZ is a purple state in the General Election years and only has right wing legislature because of the low off year voting by dems.

This isn't the first time his family has 'run' against him.

AZ 4th is the lunatic district in AZ

You must have a note from a board certified Psychiatrist certifying that you are nuts to live there.

He won with 70% last election where Trump won with 68%

Trump did not get 50% in AZ and only won by 3%


His family has publicly denounced him before (I think the fly in from Colorado). Everyone has a big laugh and he wins by huge margins.

If the Democrats win this district it means that the Republican caucus will be so small that they could meet in a McDonalds and only fill half of it up.

Did not see that coming. What kind of a person has their relatives come out full force to indorse your opponent. I'm thinking that Thanksgiving will be interesting!

Just because you're related doesn't mean you cannot/should not be objective! Works for me.

Principles above relationships, even blood relationships.
