He's got my vote
 

I actually believe that he couldn't be any worse than our current politicians.

Can't really laugh at that as it seems he is mentally challenged and not just an idiot.

Too bad his first name isn't Marcel.

Or last name isn't Fawlty.

Even better!

There is a bit of a resemblance:

HAHA! Awesome.

I have no audio output at work, so I have no idea what the guy is saying in the video.

I think there is a decent chance that his campaign manager might be jbmagic. Here's his website:

Huh???

Is he drunk?

Edit: Just went to his website. Is there a web site template that all these loony ass people use that make them all look the same and from 1995?

How can you not take this guy seriously.

His son is also running for office!

Classic:

"WHAT IMPORTANT:
1.Education
a. School violents
b. Add reading of the minutes to the U.S.Congress mandatory
c. Get more of the lottery money to 1-12"

Apparently, in all of his education and training, reading and writing were never covered or he was sick that day.


Edit: Ok, I'm trying to figure out what he means by "fly the flag right" and the "the right flag". Is it being flown upside down or something and are they using an outdated flag?

As I suspected, he's not a new character, this is at least his third try for governor. This article mentioning his '06 campaign references his '02 run.

See how much smarter we all become now that we have the interwebz?

Oh this is too fun, I'm glad it's almost lunch time.

"The dictionary says in a democracy all members are democcrate----- I am a republican what does that make me ? a traitor"

This guy definitely needs to get him some more interwebz then.

Yes, his bandwidth is extremely low. I'm thinking about 300 baud.

And probably configured for 7/E/1 instead of 8/N/1

This is like the greatest moment in Tennessee politics that I can remember. Mumpower=ubercunt, couldn't stand the fucker in college.

Profile of the son below. It turns out he's reproduced also. Also there's a phone number. Who's going to call it, do a candidate interview on the issues, and post it here? Or maybe we can setup a debate?

General Information: He was born in berks co. PA, on 11/05/1975 and came to Chattanooga Tn in 1981.
He now has three children and two step children, basil 3, tyler, ivey, andrew, and maggie. His hobbies include; art, reading, martial arts,and survival training. Some of his favorites are: food-steak and watermelon, color-blue, music-rocknroll. Basil Jr. is a very big animal lover (can't even stand to see an insect hurt).He has been in construction management for over 15 years and has been politicaly involved since 1999. Want to know more about who Basil Marceaux Jr. is feel free to ask, call 423-296-1900 or email to [email protected] or campaign manager at [email protected]

And while this guy's a little more mentally together than some of the others highlighted here, he has started what I hope is a trend to legally change your name to the issue you support most when running for office. That would make voting way easier.

YES!!

Looks like our favorite candidate got some air time on the Colbert Report last night

Starts at about 2:20 in.

I thought Captain Kangaroo died a few years ago???

Palin/Marceau 2012!

Further proof that one party has ponies and unicorns and the other party's got...every other fucking thing. :)

It's the "Big Tent" ;)

Clearly, it was his principled stand on the Mill Park flag/stun gun issue that moved him from Independent to Republican:



I'd like to get this on a bumper sticker..

I want to see him debate Alvin Greene. That would be epic.

Well, my dream of him debating Alvin Greene will have to wait. In the meantime, here is a page with info and vids from a candidate debate yesterday in Nashville.

I'm honestly not sure if he means waist or waste here. I mean, he could be against government waste, or he could be concerned because he's a rather large fella, you know?
