Are you thinking about Ron Paul, but saying "man, I just wish he was a little more overtly racist and sexist?" Well, then have I got a candidate for you--Chicago native Leo Stoller has proclaimed he will be running as an independent.
What qualifies Stoller to be president? Apparently, his prolific history chronicled in his Wikipedia entry as a pro se trademark litigant, resulting in sanction orders from both the Chicago federal courts and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Basically, Stoller claims to have "ownership" for all purposes of a number of words (including STEALTH, HAVOC, STRADIVARIUS, and, most recently, GOOGLE). But what are Stoller's policy positions? What does he stand for? Let's find out after the flip!
In his announcement of candidacy Stoller claims that he (and his "EJ" party) has a "7 day solution to our "middle east problem". EJ PROMISES NO MORE LOSS OF ANY AMERICAN LIVES IN THE MIDDLE EAST! EJ PROMISES THAT MIDDLE EAST WILL BECOME PEACEFUL within seven days after EJ takes the election, equal justice." He also promises that "Ben Leden" will "seize to exist within Seven days after Stoller is elected president EQUAL JUSTICE!"
There's also the none-too-veiled racism and sexism when Stoller claims: "The Democrats do not even have a candidate that "looks" like a candidate for an American President!"
Stoller supports abolishing the minimum wage!
Stoller has stated that all Palestinians are terrorists, and the way to solve the terrorism problem is by killing all of them.
Stoller claims that Hillary Clinton is a lesbian. (Of course, that post would seem to subvert his promise to keep his campaign positive..
Stoller claims that Democrats want to establish Sharia Law in the United States, because they are not "strong."
So, who's with me? I think we need more insanity in the White House! I write this not as an endorsement of Stoller who seem a bit unstable, even leaving aside the bizarre political positions, but to note that Stoller's politics are no more or less offensive than Ron Paul's. Paul and Stoller should get an equal amount of attention around here (which is to say, none).
