Is McEwen really your white knight? That would be quite odd. Hasn't he found some alternative productive line of work yet?
I have some theories:
(a) A lot of trolls have come out of the woodwork campaigning against Republican incumbents. They post smear articles (though none as bizarre as this) and claim to be on a Quixotic quest for a nobody candidate.
(b) A Murtha fan.
I never mentioned anything about McEwen. And in last year's special election I voted for neither McEwen nor Schmidt.
Since McEwen was bounced out of Congress, he has done some lobbying work for Focus on the Family. During the 2005 special election, James Dobson endorsed him over Jean Schmidt. McEwen thinks Evangelicals owe him a cushy job in Congress.
