An Idaho organic strawberry farmer named Marvin Richardson announced he was running as an independent to fill the U.S. Senate seat left wide, gaping, open by Senator Larry Craig. Richardson, who wants to outlaw abortion and subject abortion doctors to the death penalty, lost his race for Governor in 2006. And, since filling Senator Craig's tapping and wide stance-ing shoes is a daunting task for anyone, a Richardson victory seemed unlikely. But that was before Richardson did what no man before him was brave enough to do... legally change his name from Marvin Richardson to Pro-Life.
Why did the Strawberry farmer/ anti-choice crusader legally drop Marvin and Richardson and change his name to Pro-Life? Well, in all honestly, a lot of people have legally changed their names from Marvin. But Why drop the Richardson and add the Pro-Life? Because Pro-Life would be listed on the ballot as Pro-Life, which Pro Life knows would be great for the Pro Life movement, if not candidate: "You never know when someone is contemplating an abortion.... Just because my name being Pro Life will save babies. I can say this election cycle somebody is going to change their mind about killing their babies." Sounds like a plan! Unfortunately some hater/ baby killer introduced legislation that would require the ballot to say that Pro Life was formerly known as Marvin Richardson. But Pro Life formerly known as Marvin Richardson is such a mouthful and probably doesn't even fit on the notorioiusly small Idahoan ballot. So I propose a compromise: give Pro Life's former last name its traditional nickname: Dick. Pro Life Dick For Senate!
