And this gives us another example of the word serious. Anybody can "file" to run it doesn't mean they are serious or have any chance. The "beauty" of the American electoral system is in fact that if you run and are not already rich you don't have a chance in hell whatsoever of getting elected. And then if you are rich you better be a good brown noser to corporations. That's the real "beauty".If you file for office, that means that you are seriously running. Not that you are going to win. Personally for as out there as this guy is it shows the beauty of the american electorial system as anyone can run for president that is over age 40. I wish more people would just step up and run as I'm not sure he is any more kookier then some of the other canidates running. Dude is running as a Republican and I'm not sure he is worse then Bachmann or Perry.
He has described his policy on crime as follows: "Certain criminals, instead of being put in jail, they should be brutally tortured and impaled.... Upon them being found guilty of their crimes I'll beat them, torture them, dismember them and decapitate them."
