Indiana GOP candidate: ‘No one has the guts’ to let poor people ‘wither and die’

[doxydad]

A northwest Indiana Republican has backtracked on outrageous comments he made on Facebook about poor people.

John Johnston, who is challenging Democratic state Rep. Chuck Moseley for the 10th District seat, said during a social media discussion on poverty that “no one has the guts to just let them wither and die.”

And people will vote for this ass hat anyway. Sad.

3. I've given up hoping to see any signs of intelligent life in Indiana state government.

So, yes, people will probably vote for Johnston in droves, although I'd like to think that Moseley is safe. But this year who the hell knows -- and that's what's so scary.
