Pat Powers has a post that announces a GOP candidate for Congress that he would consider a paranoid black helicopter hillbilly. Excerpt:
"It is with great humility and honor that I, Thad Wasson am announcing my candidacy for the U.S. House on the Republican ticket. This a decision based on many prayers and consultation with my wife, Michelle, and the future of our three children Hannah, Henry, and Vivien.
For the past 60 years this nation has slowly given away her sovereignty, from joining the United Nations to NATO to trade alliances from NAFTA to the WTO. This has lead to military conflicts that never end and the loss of a manufacturing base that we as a nation need to survive. Forward to the year 2009, when there is no talk of American greatness or American prosperity or American pride. It has been replaced with global initiatives and one world solutions and a common good. The current Democratic agenda is set on solutions which result in government control.
I will strive to bring back the American dream – Freedom from an oppressive government, freedom to succeed and freedom for this country for decades to come.
Watch the South Daktoa GOP turn their back on a true conservative.
No Steve, that's just you.
And please note your own words.. "Pat Powers has a post that announces a GOP candidate for Congress..."
Admitting your fixation is the first step in getting over it.

Now, Steve, that's unfair to Pat. He actually sounded sympathetic to Wasson's announcement and the potential challenges he may face against an unreceptive party machine.
I'm the one who comments on the distinct whiff of black-helicopter paranoia in Wasson's opening rhetoric. If overreaching global initiatives are goign to be the centerpiece of his campaign, he'll go nowhere in the primary. If Wasson wants a chance, he'd better poish up some relevant, practical, bread-and-butter South Dakota issues.

Cory,
As you can see from Pat's response, he is not being consistent in applying his rhetoric. Not surprising from one who lacks credibility.
And Pat...sadly the biggest fixation on Pat Powers is coming from you.
