IT BEGINS! OK GOP Candidate Announces His Opponent Is a Replicant

Rise of the machines
Weird • Views: 29,759

Oklahoma Republican Tim Murray was defeated in the state’s Congressional primary this week, but he’s not finished fighting, folks. In fact, he has a BOMBSHELL announcement about his opponent, Rep. Frank Lucas: he’s been replaced by an “artificial or man-made” replicant.

According to the press release posted at Murray’s site, Lucas and “other States’ Congressional Members” were “executed by The World Court on or about Jan. 11, 2011 in Southern Ukraine,” and replaced by some kind of freaky man-machine hybrid.

Here’s that gloriously insane press release, still visible at his website:

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 Republican Challengers have.

Rep. Frank Lucas, and a few other Oklahoma and other States’ Congressional Members were depicted as being executed by The World Court on or about Jan. 11, 2011 in Southern Ukraine. On television they were depicted as being executed by the hanging about the neck until death on a white stage and in front of witnesses. Other now current Members of Congress have shared those facts on television also. We know that it is possible to use look alike artificial or manmade replacements, however Rep. Lucas was not eligible to serve as a Congressional Member after that time.

The World knows the truth and We must always display and communicate the truth. I will always share public information with the truth when honored to serve as your Representative.

June 24, I need your vote. The vote cannot be overlooked by the Judicial Branch, however the vote must be there and in order to be heard as the will of The People and not cast-off.

But it gets even weirder! Another press release, just posted today, shares more details on the nefarious replicant plot; it involves DNA, the Defense Department, Senators from Kentucky, and that sinister white stage.

News Person,

The election for U.S. House for Oklahoma’s 3rd District will be contested by the Candidate, Timothy Ray Murray. I will be stating that his votes are switched with Rep. Lucas votes, because it is widely known Rep. Frank D. Lucas is no longer alive and has been displayed by a look alike. Rep. Lucas’ look alike was depicted as sentenced on a white stage in southern Ukraine on or about Jan. 11, 2011.

This is a situation similar to the Senators’ from Kentucky situation in the 2012 election. I am contesting that this matter has happen since his election was blocked, because of the U.S. Defense Department’s use of Mr. Murray’s DNA. To my knowledge, the U.S. Defense Department has not released to the public that information, as it is their confidential information about many people. Congress is likely wanting me to state that all my DNA used will not result in benefits to people I have never had relations with of a family nature. I have been bound to protect that information unless it causes harm to The People.

The contest of election and or petition will be correctly filed with county election boards and with federal offices. I, Hon. Mr. Timothy Ray Murray, fully meet all Constitutional, Federal and Oklahoma requirements for election and for holding Office if the voters’ results show that is the case.

Thank You for your service in giving Oklahomans great current news and information.

Sincerely,

(Digital signature was recorded)
Hon. Timothy Ray Murray

Don’t worry, Tim — those men in white coats with butterfly nets are election officials, coming to take you to your swearing in ceremony.

So, is his opponent a toaster? Replicant?

Can we get Deckard to weigh in? Do we need dogs to sniff and sort this out?

Every time you think the GOP can’t attract ever more batcrap crazy candidates, they show that they’ve got an endless supply of folks even more unhinged from reality.

Time was, these folks would get mental health treatment. Now? They attract followings and get elected to political office. Not quite the march of progress we were promised.

When confronted about the possibility of being a replicant, Frank Lucas issued the following statement.

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die…”

While he may not be a human body double the fact that he claimed Lucas a human body is half-true.

Attorney Mark Mayfield was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound Friday at his Ridgeland home.

Mayfield, vice chairman of the Mississippi Tea Party, and is one of the three men charged with conspiring with Clayton Kelly to photograph U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran’s bedridden wife in her nursing home and create a political video against Cochran.

The Bush White House Employed 70+ Gay Staffers

Today Politico Magazine’s Timothy J. Burger looks back at the “gay underground” of the George W. Bush administration, whose leaders famously supported amending the U.S. Constitution to federally ban gay marriage, and even paid off newspaper columnists to defend the amendment. So how big was the Bush White House’s velvet mafia? We finally have an answer.

I’ll never understand the mindset of a gay conservative who votes GOP…..voting for a party that despises you.

The crazy. It burns…. brightly among the new crop of GOP candidates across the nation…

In Colorado this week, state House candidate Gordon Klingenschmitt, who was court-martialed while a U.S. Navy chaplain and later claimed he performed an exorcism on a lesbian soldier, advanced to the general election, the Colorado Springs Gazette reported.

Klingenschmitt runs the Pray In Jesus Name Project, which is listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an anti-LGBT hate group. He defeated Dave Williams in the Republican primary by about 300 votes - 52.5 percent of the vote - to earn the right to face unopposed Democrat Lois Fornander in the GOP-leaning district on Nov. 4.

Colorado voters who backed Klingenschmitt were either unaware of or support his views that gay people are possessed by demonic spirits and that Obamacare causes cancer, according to Right Wing Watch.

Klingenschmitt spells out many of his controversial, anti-LGBT views on his radio show, where once said, “The ultimate hate speech is to endorse homosexuality.”

Yeah, this is the all-inclusive GOP we’ve been warned about.

There used to be arguments every year over when it started and you’d end up with one group of people starting/ending a day before/after the other one. Now most people just follow ISNA/Fiqh Council of North America which “recognizes astronomical calculation as an acceptable Shar’i method for determining the beginning of Lunar months including the months of Ramadan and Shawwal.”

Enter co-host Simon Hobbs: “I think Tim Cook is fairly open about the fact he’s gay at the head of Apple, isn’t he?”

Silence from the panel. Everyone turned to look at Stewart, who responded, “Hmm, no.”

“Oh, dear, was that an error?” Hobbs asked. “I thought he was open about it.”

After shaking his head in disappointment with Hobbs, Stewart said: “I don’t want to comment about anybody who might or might not be. I’m not going to out anybody.”

There’s even weirder stuff at his website. He seems to believe that President Ford made him some sort of ambassador and he lists many accomplishments in that capacity. I’ll list a few after his preamble.

As your Ambassador, I speak for The People of The United States and their best interest as their diplomat to help protect and defend The United States Constitution. I was sworn to lifetime duty by U.S. President Ford.


I haven’t received any United States funds currently or in past for my lifetime Duty. I and those that assist me will not fail in our duties to The People of The United States.


As your Ambassador, Hon. Timothy Ray Murray, for The People of The United States, I have:


* * Requested and obtained in 2013, Protection from partial or whole life placement on Starship without the knowledge and or will of any person(s) on Earth or in Space, and the storage of partial human size life on Earth or in this Solar system. This matter is sealed with The People, The U.S. President, and The U.S. Supreme Court.


* * Helped Prevent further un-needed Investment Bank Stimulus to the focus on The U.S. People. Congress finalized their legislation which became The “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.”


* * Helped Prevent an, self only interest and strong arm leverage, agreement with Japan, of American origin, that would have very negative effects on Japan Markets and our Technology and other Markets.

* * Helped prevent illegal and miss leading land and oil deal in the Middle East, of an American origin, after “Desert Storm” major operations in Iraq.
.
.
.
.

* * Requested and obtained protection of Freedom to Pray on Public School property and Official times by Students that want to lead and participate in such activities. The fore-mentioned Right is sealed by The People, The U.S. President, and The U.S. Supreme Court.

The official account given hours after the killing on Monday by the governor of Hilla, 92km (57 miles) south of Baghdad, was that militants had attacked the convoy killing 10 prisoners and one policeman in the crossfire.

“The convoy protection force fiercely responded to the terrorist attack,” Governor Sadiq Madloul told reporters.

But a police captain, a second police officer and a senior local official from where the prisoners died in Hilla, all speaking on condition of anonymity while giving an account that differed from the official line, told Reuters no attack took place, and the police had executed the 69 men.

A third police source who would not contradict the account that the convoy had come under attack nevertheless confirmed that all 69 had been killed and said some had not died in the crossfire but were gunned down to prevent them from escaping.

The deaths in Hilla came less than a week after the killing of 52 prisoners in Baquba, a regional capital north of Baghdad.

The police account there also was that the prisoners had died in the crossfire during a battle with insurgents. But local Sunni officials including the mayor and the provincial governor, medical staff at the morgue and relatives of the dead all said the victims were gunned down in their jail cells.

Any Lizards who ever find themselves here in Ostrava one day, we have tourist attractions!

According to the CzechTourism agency, over 676,000 people visited the former Vitkovice ironworks and the Landek Park mining museum in 2013.

Only four other historical sites, all in Prague, were more popular last year.

The Lower Vitkovice area opened to the public two years ago. It shows the history of iron making, people may visit an interactive technical museum and go up a blast furnace.

The adjacent Hlubina mine has been under reconstruction and art studios and workshops have been taking place there.

“Do not tell me what you believe. Show me what you do and I’ll tell you what you believe.” There’s a lot of truth in that observation, and it is very applicable to the case of gay GOPers.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in still hot pan.

While butter is melting, add a dash of curry powder and a dash of Ponzu sauce; swirl to mix.

Pour over popcorn.

Dust lightly with butter seasoning, white cheddar seasoning, and Parmesean/Romano cheese; toss to coat.

No. He didn’t. And the Vatican won’t change their mind about it, either.

One of the biggest rifts in the church, at least here in the States, came back in the 60’s with the advent of the birth control pill. Catholic couples started using it in droves and the church pretended to listen to the faithful who used birth control and saw nothing wrong with it. There was even speculation that the Vatican would approve because it was a way to plan families and to avoid the possibility of unwanted pregnancy and abortion.

The end result of that supposed Vatican support? Humanae Vitae. People have been ignoring the Church on sex and marriage ever since. Hell, people openly rebelled at the time, too.

The Vatican will make noises that sound supportive of gays and even gay marriage, but they will never change their minds.

When I advocate for policies to starve and oppress the poors, only my self-declared motives matter. In this case, I’m increasing their chance of getting into heaven.

re: #177 Killgore Trout

Yes, the article states that an actual policy change is unlikely but the Church is making adjustments to modernize its attitudes on social issues. Better late than never.

The Catholic church can start by disowning Humanae Vitae and repudiating the teaching that homosexuality is “intrinsically disordered”.

Unless that happens, there is no change taking place that is worth noting.

My God. These people have web design skills that would embarrass a 12-year-old with a One Direction blog.

Not to mention that the “Back to the first page” link at the bottom is misspelled. It’s got “Index.html” instead of “index.htm”.

It. Won’t. Happen. They aren’t going to change their minds.

The Vatican will make noises that sound supportive, but in terms of doctrine and their actual practices, nothing is going to change anytime soon, if at all. It’s Galileo all over again. It will be centuries, if ever, before the Church makes any significant progress when it comes to LGBT people.

Does the Castle in the Iron Heart have an Iron Throne?

RBS

This one looks like it might possibly have an Iron Throne;

The RCC is an organization that claims to teach eternal unchanging truths, and they also keep good records. That means that any change in their positions needs to occur on a decades or longer time scale.

As I recall, the Roe v. Wade decision had a fine analysis of the evolving RCC position on abortion.

Tim Murray has failed in his assigned mission to replace Rep. Frank Lucas as one of the human overlords of Oklahoma. The same faulty logic processors that led to his defeat have now caused him to openly betray his mission by accusing his opponent of being a replicant model 1.21 like himself.

The Hive Mind has determined that the faulty unit known to the humans as Tim Murray must be cut off from any further input from the collective. This should be sufficient to ameliorate any lasting damage or exposure caused by the faulty unit’s revelations.

As output by the Hive Mind:
“The Republicans will not notice anything abnormal in unit Tim Murray’s functioning.”

“The Democrats will ascribe this to being nothing more than another Republican lunatic.”

“Thus we are safe and the assimilation of the remaining human overlords can continue as planned.”

That is all.

Saw/heard Joe Biden say the “Show me what you do and I’ll tell you what you believe” line up close and personal, and he rocked the room with it. (OK, it was up close and personal at a dinner with 500 other people, but still…)

Not sure if he originated it, and too lazy to look, but Ole Handsome Joe truly said it with conviction.

Like when they accuse the other Republican of being a replicant, and it turns out that they are one also! /// ??

There have always been whack-jobs throwing their hats into the political ring, but until the lunatic fringe who call themselves the Tea Party crawled out from the woodwork, these delusional crackpots had not been given ‘the blessing of legitimacy’ by party leaders.

According to ballotpedia, Ballotpedia Details Murray’s Election Results Timothy Ray Murray got 5.2 percent of the Republican primary vote in the 2014 race to see who would be the Republican candidate for Oklahoma’s Congressional District 3.

This has provided readers endless opportunity for derision of Republicans. What party can be so stupid as to even entertain having a man like that in their midst, and get as much as 5% of the vote?

Well, here’s the answer. Also from ballotpedia. In 2012, this very same Timothy Ray Murray won the Democrat primary, with not 5 percent, but more than 50%, of the primary vote. He lost the general election, gaining only 20% of the vote.
