Question for politically conservative candidates with Tea Party support: What do you do if your backers are 9/11 Truthers? Do you play footsie with them, as Debra Medina does? Or do you take a principled stand and cut the Truthers’ nuts off? You have to cut them off. The Truther movement is toxic, both on the left and right. How to do it? Happily, we’ve seen this movie before.

Quote from : Wikipedia : Project for the New American Century
The Project for the New American Century (PNAC) was an American think tank based in Washington, D.C. that lasted from early 1997 to 2006.
It was co-founded as a non-profit educational organization by neoconservatives William Kristol and Robert Kagan.
The PNAC's stated goal was "to promote American global leadership."
Fundamental to the PNAC were the view that "American leadership is both good for America and good for the world" and support for "a Reaganite policy of military strength and moral clarity."
The PNAC exerted influence on high-level U.S. government officials in the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush and affected the Bush Administration's development of military and foreign policies, especially involving national security and the Iraq War.

I don't 'love' most politicians, but a truther politician = a horrible combination
