GOP 2010 Candidate For Hawaii Gov. Tied To Eliminationist Religious Movement
(note: here's a definition of eliminationalism)

please read the article and spread the word about this movement. I would regard the religious beliefs of these people with curiosity if they were not so embedded in politics with theocratic aims.

He gonna get reamed....
