Westboro Baptist candidate for Kansas Board of Education only raises $5

Source: Rawstory.com

A Kansas State Board of Education candidate linked to the Westboro Baptist Church only raised a measly $5 for his campaign and doesn’t plan to spend it.

Jack Wu’s financial disclosure report, published by the Kansas Secretary of State, shows the Republican candidate only raised $5 from July 27, 2012 through October 25, 2012.

"I don’t like asking for money," Wu told the Associated Press. "It’s not my style."

In contrast, his opponent Democrat Carolyn Campbell raised $13,518 and spent $12,101 during the same period. Much of that money was spent on ads that highlight Wu’s relationship with the Westboro Baptist Church.

Any TV Commercials running from his campaign to promote god knows what issues for the WBC? The right wing fringe sure seems to treat running for public office as nothing but a joke. Right up to the idiotic crew in the Republican Presidential primaries.
