KFOR in Oklahoma reports that Timothy Ray Murray believes Rep. Frank Lucas (D-Okla.), his opponent in the congressional Democrat primary, was executed three years ago and is being represented by a look-alike. Because he believes Lucas is really dead, Murray said he will challenge the results of Tuesday's Democrat primary, in which Murray received 5.2 percent of the vote. Lucas won the primary with 82.8 percent of the vote. Link
In the statement, Murray, who did not respond to an interview request, also reassured voters that he is not a body-double. "I, Timothy Ray Murray, am a human, born in Oklahoma, and obtained and continue to fully meet the requirements to serve as U.S. Representative when honored to so. I will never use a look alike to replace my (The Office’s) message to you or to anyone else, as both the other Democrat Challengers have," he said.
If you're going to use your middle name at least have the decency to be a famous assassin or serial killer.
Reagan did nearly the same thing in his second campaign. His dementia by then was obvious to most Americans, but he was propped up with that silly grin and a few jumbled sound bites against the weakest of opponents.
Surely he's not one of barfo's creepy republicans. You know, like Bob Filner, Anthony Weiner, or Bill Clinton.
Apparently he watched the movie Dave and decided to use some of the plot elements as part of his challenge.
http://kfor.com/2014/06/26/congressional-candidate-feels-opponent-is-a-body-double/ For the past 20 years, Lucas has been working in Congress, and he’s faced Murray in past elections. “He was the Democratic nominee for Congress two years ago. This time, he chose to run as a Republican,” said Rep. Lucas.
Hahahaha! It's about time someone caught on. I edited the original story when I posted it here and every where it said republican I replaced with democrat.
the headline to that link is "Oklahoma Republican claims congressional opponent is dead, replaced with body double" so theres that personally i couldnt care less, just wanted to see who did
His outrage was usually sarcasm about the quality of posters. I'm outraged that you're not outraged. It's not legal to discriminate against zombies. Well, I guess I'll talk about the candidate now. Yep, Republican, I could tell even before Sly admitted it. Okay, back to zombies. So, Papa's going to have a beer with you, Sly?
In the past, Papa returned as a body double stand-in until the mods gave in and let him return under the name of PapaG. Possible zombie appearance soon.
