I'm offended that he isn't more like Hercule Poirot >:(

Equal Health care

Citizens who get food stamps and S/S checks can not afford to buy where food nhow can they afford to pay Insurance? we would need to find a way to pay the insurance for them.

Improving Our Environment

I find it hard to take a campaign fund donations from anyone because if they give me money they always expect something and then they seal it with a hand shack. I think this is bribery so to keep everybody honest lets put all funds in one bucket pot, then divide the bucket pot among those who ever once want to run


how very...progressive, how did this guy get to represent the republican party with these blatantly socialist views?

he actually doesn't seem like that bad guy once you realise he just needs a little nudge in the right direction away from libertarianism and his USMC outlook I may email him to say hello and show him things like the The Universal Declaration of Human Rights :)

Actually, there are 5 people vying for the Republican Nomination for Tennessee Governor. The five were given time on the news to make their case and Basil Marceaux was randomly chosen to go first.

He's everything I would have come to expect from a genetic fusion of a fragrant herb and a famous mime. :)
