(5,479 posts)Looks like he is one of the typical 'far-right rhetoric in your face (until election time, then we scrub the past)' tea party crazies.
Here is his voting record:

He has also forgotten about the Wayback Machine - here is an archive of one of the sites he used to write for, with links to some of his extreme articles:

There's some *very* weird crap in there...no wonder he tried to have it all scrubbed before he first ran for office.

(576 posts)Zeiger wrote several controversial articles, including commentary on the Girl Scouts and public schools. He wrote on the website Intellectual Conservative, "The Girl Scouts allow homosexuals and atheists to join their ranks, and they have become a pro-abortion, feminist training corps."[3] On public schools, Zeigler wrote "I spent most of my K-12 education at my local government indoctrination center. I was also home schooled during the seventh and eighth grades. The corridors and classrooms of the modern public school are so polluted with the filth of moral relativism that the typical public high school graduate moves into the world devoid of character, conscience, or courage. And while he may have self-esteem, tolerance, and a grasp of diversity, the public school graduate is incompetent in academic comparison to the rest of the free world. [4]
