Chamberlin, who is from Durham, N.H., concluded his chant by crying, Rick Santorum! We dont like bigots in New Hampshire!
The protesters continued their chant of Bigot! Bigot! Bigot! after Santorum entered the building and pounded the signs on the ground.
Speaking to reporters, Chamberlin, who has participated in both Occupy Wall Street and Occupy New Hampshire protests, said problems with the election system prompted him to demonstrate.
Im here tonight because we believe that our system really is run by who can raise and spend the most money, which means that they pander to corporate contributions and anonymous PACs instead of responding to the constituents that they allege to represent, Chamberlin said.
Chamberlin continued that voters shouldnt have to settle for the lesser of two evils when selecting presidential candidates and the bane of democracy is settling for the person whom you find the least deplorable.

That man is such a fuckup on every level, might as well go after him on homophobia as on anything else irrational that comes out of his mouth.
And I agree, it's a shame in this day and age that we have to settle for the lesser of evils, but hey, that's where we are in human evolution, and we know the banks and investors control and own our elections, anyway.

How DARE they accuse him of being a bigot because of his sincerely held religious beliefs?
