You're Not Paranoid if They're Really Out to Get You

From the “WTF Department,” we call your attention to Republican Kathleen Conti, who is challenging incumbent Democrat Joe Rice in HD-38. We don’t have any idea about the back story to this rather odd page on her campaign website, so we’ll just let you see for yourself:

There have been many false implications about my positions on a recent phone survey. At this time we are trying to get the complete list to answer them all…

…I have also been told that I am reported to be “Paranoid” about Al-Queda training camps that exist here in Colorado, and that I want to allocate more state money to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to fight against these camps.  

The Truth is:

I am not paranoid, and have not advocated that any more money be allocated to CBI for anything.

Terrorism experts however, tell us that in addition to drugs, and honest people that are just looking for work, thousands of Terrorist training camp leaders have been smuggled in across our Southern U.S. Border with Mexico, in the last few years; usually at a hefty fee per head. These fees are paid to the drug cartels.

Colorado with it’s vast open spaces and many wooded areas, makes a friendly environment for any type of Camp, even Terrorist Training camps.  If these unlawful camps exist, and again we are told that they do, because of the threat to the public safety that they present, I have said that they should be on the top of Home Land Security, and CBI’s priorities. [Pols emphasis]

As We become aware of any other False representations about my positions we will also address them.

Thanks for your patience in this situation.

Kathleen

To recap, apparently Conti is not at all paranoid about “Al Queda” (sic), but Colorado is a good place for terrorist training camps, and she has been told that these camps do exist in our state. Or perhaps they don’t. Either way, she’s definitely not paranoid about it. What the Colorado Bureau of Investigation — which, of course, is really not like the FBI even though they sound the same — has to do with this, we’re not clear.

At least, that’s what we think she’s saying here. We’re having a hard time following along, frankly.
