Jesus, where do we begin? The latest testimony/embarrassment to American democracy comes to us by way of Basil Marceaux, the Republican candidate for governor of Tennessee.
It seems that a renewed interest in the political process and easy access to the internet is spawning the most bizarre crop of candidates for office this country ever did see. The latest comes by way of Chattanooga, Tennessee. And he's a doozy. Let's just say he makes Alvin Greene look like Barack Obama.
He recently began a Youtube Channel spreading his message of
Marceaux is a former marine who wants to be the governor of Tennessee. And like every good politician Basil has a platform consisting of issues that he will address if the good
One of his campaign promises is "VOTE FOR ME AND IF I WIN I WILL IMMUNE YOU FROM ALL STATE CRIMES FOR THE REST OF YOU LIFE!" OK, that would be kind of awesome. But what else is Basil offering...?
On his website, which looks as if it was designed on a Commodore 64, he lists some of his political priorities:
What Important
1.Education
a. School violents [sic]
b. Add reading of the minutes to the U.S.Congress mandatory
c. Get more of the lottery money to 1-12 2.Equal Health care
a. a free gift program
b. take a look at and redo all mandtory [sic] insurance programs
c. See why dental is not in most plans a tooth aches hurt more than a back aches and no teeths depresses people [sic]
3. Citzens Safety+Citizens Constitution Rights
4. Improving Our Environment
5. Budget
6. Open doors more for Tn.food manufactures
7. My plan will give the state free gas for all governmental cars and trucks
8. Make the U.S. Flag in all state buildings and court fly right. if you fly a U.S.Flag you will fly it right
But Basil isn't all talk and empty promises. He brags of the things he has done for his fellow Tennesseans:
Things I done [sic] for my citizens:
1. Filed suit against Governor Sunquest for promoting Slavery in Tenn.
2. Filed a suit against Soddy Daisy Judge for promoting slaving at traffic stops.
3. Filled a suit against Chattanooga Free Press, Tennessean, all TV stations , Hamilton county attorney, D/A for extortion jury fixing, racketeering, promoting slavery at traffic stops.
4. All cases was [sic] taken all the way to Tennessee Supreme Court all dismiss allowing counties court to overruled the U.S. Supreme Court concerning traffic stops and media protect them Let me us put me in office. [sic]
5. Ran for governor for three times, state senator 4 times, U.S. Senate once. I don't know about you but I think its high-time a politician had the balls to take a stand against traffic stop slavery. I've been complaining about it for years. Get involved Tennessee and support this true man of the people! He needs your help in raising funds! "i welcome anyone who wants to be a A SUPPORTER. I need up to $90.00 @ PERSON for campaign funds to pay for spots on tv "
He urges like-minded citizens who are also outraged at traffic stop slavery to send donations to:
ELECT AND SUPPORT:
BASIL J MARCEAUX FOR YOUR NEXT
TENNESSEE SENATOR # 10
or
BASIL J MARCEAUX FOR YOUR NEXT
TENNESSEE GOVERNOR 2010
Soooooo...is he running for the Senate and governor? Simultaneously? That would be truly awesome though a victory by Basil in both races would likely throw Tennessee into some sort of constitutional crisis. But who has time for such trivial, elitist issues when our very freedom is on the line!
But Basil isn't just a smooth-talking politician, he is also an scholar of sorts, ready to break down the history of our great democracy at the drop of a hat: "Can our country be a republic when the founders free usin 1776-then one the founder became a traitor to a republic and became a democrate then a democrary republic took charge of our time line then split in 1825 and 1866 the congress said we were invaded by the domiment party and today we say a pledge to a repulic , but democacy must live on and we say no oath to it...this is all Thomas Jefferson fault he took us doun the wrong road while the real founders were kiled and jailed. "
Alvin Greene is looking better and better. God Bless America.
Basil Marceaux 2010!!! For freedom!! And teeths!!!
