WWJD? "Vote for me," says Bennion Spencer.

Every so often, a candidate says something so dumb, so conceited, and so self-righteous, you have to question their grip on reality.

Bennion Spencer just had one of those moments. Let's let the man speak for himself, according to the Salt Lake Tribune story: http://www.sltrib.com/ci_10207723

"If Bennion Spencer wasn't the Democratic candidate in Utah's 3rd Congressional District, he'd be working on publishing a book he wrote about how Jesus might vote - and he recently said he thinks the son of God would vote for him. "I think he would," Spencer told The Tribune, although he later backed away and said he couldn't say for sure how Jesus would vote....Spencer said he thinks the Bush tax cuts hurt families and Jesus would oppose making them permanent..."

Sorry, Bennion, but I'll leave saying who Jesus would vote for to...Jesus.

Can we all just agree, right here, right now, that any candidate using this sort of rhetoric is disqualified from our support? Because I can tell you one of the following is true about Mr. Spencer:

1. Bennion is so religiously inclined, he doesn't even realize how silly these remarks are, and is thus unqualified to serve.

2. Bennion is literally off-his rocker, and thus, unqualified to serve.

Mr. Spencer, good luck against Chaffetz. You are going to need it. For any faults Jason Chaffetz may have, choosing his words poorly in public is certainly not one of them. That's the main reason he took Cannon down: His grass-roots organization combined with an eloquent public speaking style made Chaffetz the perfect storm.

And his response to Spencer's comments was picture perfect:

"I believe there is a proper role of religion in our society and we ought to promote that and not run away from it, but I don't think it's appropriate to guess which candidate Jesus Christ would support. That's sacrilegious to me."

Score one for Chaffetz, in a battle where he didn't need any more advantages.
