This story line was shared by a friend who has similar interests as I. After his posting, we engaged in a lengthy conversation where we pondered the source of such delusional thinking (and I do mean delusional) and where we think it is leading humanity as a whole. Two hours later I don't think we came to any solid conclusions, though it was a fun conversation. That aside, I haven't been able to shake this story from my mind - this guy had a campaign office, ran a campaign which he ultimately lost, had supporters and donors. People can't be this dumb in real life, or can they?

Even if you remove the obvious references to sovereign citizen ideology we are left with this.

Yep. He accuses his opponents of being replicants, or perhaps zombies or golems. The exact technology hasn’t yet been identified, but they are NOT who they claim to be. See, here’s what happened:

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.

Sadly, in Tuesday’s primary, it appears that the nonhuman replacement for the late Frank Lucas was able to fool — or hypnotize — 83% of the voters, while certified human Timothy D. Murray was only able to get 5% of the vote. The only scrap of good news here is that, with the electoral success of Lucas and apparently several other androids, the United states has clearly surpassed Japanese android technology.

One point the Wonkette story doesn't highlight,,,

Murray claims the Defense Department is in on the scheme and it isn't the first time a human political candidate has been replaced with an artificially intelligent look-alike:

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.

And if the scenario below sounds vaguely familiar, it should. A point made by a comment over on PZ Myer's blog Pharyngula, it was part of the plot of Eddie Murphy's 1992 movie A Distinguished Gentleman. 

A Florida con man named Thomas Jefferson Johnson uses the passing of the longtime Congressman from his district, Jeff Johnson (who died of a heart attack while having sex with his secretary), to get elected to the United State Congress as a freshman Congressman, where the money flows from lobbyists. Omitting his first name, and abbreviating his middle name, he calls himself "Jeff" Johnson. He then manages to get on the ballot by pitching a seniors organization, the Silver Foxes, to nominate him as their candidate for office.

Once on the election ballot, he uses the dead Congressman's old campaign material and runs a low budget campaign that appeals to name recognition, figuring most people do not pay much attention and simply vote for the "name you know." He wins a slim victory and is off to Washington, a place where the "streets are lined with gold."

Farm Bill Agreement Reached By House, Senate Negotiators

We shall see, ",,,preserves food stamp benefits for most Americans who receive them and continues generous subsidies for farmers."

A House plan to make major cuts to food stamps would be scaled back under a bipartisan agreement on a massive farm bill, a near end to a more than two-year fight that has threatened to hurt rural lawmakers in an election year.

The measure announced Monday by the House and Senate Agriculture committees preserves food stamp benefits for most Americans who receive them and continues generous subsidies for farmers. The House was expected to vote on the bill Wednesday, with the Senate following shortly after.

The compromise was expected to cut food stamps by about $800 million a year, or around 1 percent. The House in September passed legislation cutting 5 percent from the $80 billion-a-year program. The House bill also would have allowed states to implement broad new work requirements for food stamp recipients. That has been scaled back to a test program in 10 states.

The Democratic-led Senate had twice passed a bill with only $400 million in annual food stamp cuts, and had signaled it would not go much higher. The White House had threatened to veto the House level of food stamp cuts.

The final bill released Monday would cost almost $100 billion a year over five years, with a cut of around $2.3 billion a year overall from current spending. Committee aides said they were still waiting for final numbers from the Congressional Budget Office to assess exactly how much the bill would cost.
