Because he's just bigoted enough to win

Happy Birthday, supacat!! I hereby join your campaign. You'll get your real present tomorrow... but hint hint it's a little 'super'! ;)

Meanwhile, let's take down that independent sonofabitch running as Senator for Kansas... Lex Luthor may be a corporate mastermind and he may not give a fuck about the environment (well, the fishies at least) and sure, he does have a few megalomaniac tendencies... but when it comes down to it, he just ain't right-wing enough, y'know?! Go crazy people = vote 1 Jonathan!

(What was that, Lex? was I bribed? No, I wasn't bribed! Oh... that money that changed hands? I'll have you know that was a private matter. Now stop it with your smear campaign!! Unless there's any diamond earrings going begging... In that case, you can pick me up at 8. *smirk*)
