Some of the funnier reactions I've seen to the pirate for congress website on a forum:

Yeah, but I can't shake the feeling that he's just parroting the party line.

I hear he is not very good in political debates. In fact, at times it seems... He doesn't have a leg to stand on. I understand that he leans hard starboard in his politics. If he wins, he'll be known as Representative James Hill (Aaarrrr - Iowa).

I was under the impression he worked at Home Depot. Everytime I would place an order for decking material he would Deliver me Timbers.

At least he's not repeating the standard cannon.
