Frank Dean Lucas, a Republican, is the U.S. Representative for Oklahoma’s 3rd congressional district. Prior to representing the 3rd district, he served the 6th district from 1994 to 2003. Lucas currently chairs the House Committee on Agriculture. He also serves on the House Committee on Financial Services and the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology. Last Tuesday, Rep. Lucas won his Republican primary easily—garnering more than 80% of the vote. His primary opponent Timothy Ray Murray—who received only 5.2% of the vote—is planning to contest the election. Murray’s reason for contesting the election: He claims that Lucas was executed three years ago by the World Court and that the Congressman has been replaced by a body double. Murray even suggested on his campaign website that the “Frank Lucas” who bested him in the primary might be an artificial look alike or a man-made replacement.
In a press release posted on his website, Murray wrote, “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.”
From Murray’s 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.
In a telephone conversation with Jaime Fuller of the Washington Post, Keith Gaddie at the University of Oklahoma said, “A lot of stupid things happen in Oklahoma politics, but this may be the stupidest I’ve ever heard. Welcome to Oklahoma.” (Note: Gaddie asked Fuller to make sure that the word “stupid” appeared in his quote.)
More “stupid” from Murray’s website:
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.
Talking Points Memo reported that Murray had previously challenged Lucas in 2012—while running as a Democrat.
I’m wondering about the 5.2% of the Oklahoma electorate who voted for this crackpot.

It is normal to have stress reactions after a traumatic event. In this case it’s losing. Your emotions and behavior can change in ways that are upsetting to you.
Even though most people have stress reactions following a trauma, they get better in time. But, you should seek help if symptoms:
• Last longer than three months
• Cause you great distress
• Disrupt your work or home life
There is help out there. Here’s a therapy session. Hold on to your seat!
I wonder if the medical profession in America still performs lobotomies. Does anyone know? Back in the 1960’s they were still a weapon of choice for real wackos. Someone on the blog here once said that the shaved head governor guy in Florida had a lobotomy.
BarkinDog – I think they are back in favor.
This guy has clearly been watching to many Star Trek Enterprise reruns on cable.
@SaucyWump
No problemo. I am a Republican (now) who will probably support Hillary for president sooo I guess that makes me a strange duck.

@NickS
Hi Nick!!! Thank you for missing me!!! The last 5+ months I have been in a long term rehab place trying to heal up from an accident where I fell off something and whacked my back on the way down. It should have only been maybe two weeks but the rehab people screwed up my knee and then they discovered an infection (NOT an STD!!!) But I am going home in few weeks.
And yes it is a lot scarier when the once and maybe future Speaker is a delusional twit. Funny how all the cheesy Democratic partisan hacks keep missing the important stories.

Squeeky Fromm, Girl Reporter wrote “other nutburger story … Pelosi waxed moronic in an equal and opposite direction”
Okay, I apologize. You appeared at first to be one of those who blame one party for everything. I often get jumped by lefties and righties and I thought I’d get ahead of the curve.
Yes, I agree, Pelosi (and Reid and Paul and Ryan and …) are all bottom-feeders. George Washington eloquently warned us against political parties and we ignored that advice.
Churchill and Hitler had doubles. What is the problem?
Squeeky, Where you been?? Welcome back. Many here are using the Tea Party as diversionary. Their President has failed miserably and their party is in the toilet. As I said on another thread to Saucy, Every group has their idiots. As you pointed out, some are “respected” leaders in the duopoly. Here’s the obvious point the cultist miss. They often ELECT THEIR MOONBATS. This idiot got beat.
@ SaucyMumps:
??? I read the story. I just happened to notice the other nutburger story this weekend wherein Pelosi waxed moronic in an equal and opposite direction with the “We’re all Americans!” insanity. They seemed to compliment each other. But then again I tend to be a non-partisan enjoyer of public insanity. Nicht wahr???

Tea Party going crazy. They can dish it out, but they can’t take it.
Just when we think we have reached the top of the T-Bag, the peak of batsh*t crazy, along comes a new pecker head.

Tea Party’s a hot mess: Inside a noisy disenchanted movement.
Sadly, Republicans have been co-oped by the Tea Party, or were they really this wacky all along?
Elaine,
I saw this story last night. Glad you covered it. You really can’t make this stuff up.
I posted this story on “Mississippi Tea Party attorney commits suicide” last night, but only Annie commented.
Instead of a photo of Lucas, Elaine should have included the photo Murray proudly displays on his website (www.timothyraymurray.com). I think he resembles Uncle Fester.
“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.”
A white stage?
More from Murray’s website:
“This is a situation similar to the Senators’ [sic] from Kentucky situation in the 2012 election. I am contesting that this matter has happen [sic] 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.”
At least he didn’t mention “precious bodily fluids.”
Still more from Murray:
“I will NEVER use Artificial Intelligence look alike to voice what The Representative’s Office is doing nor own a robot look alike.”
That’s comforting to know.
P.S. Squeeky Fromm, perhaps you should try reading the article before blathering. Both Lucas and Murray are Republicans.
He must have read Here There Be Dragons by James A. Owen. In it, clockworks of parliamentary representatives were created to fool everybody into believing that everything was still running smoothly in the kingdom…at least until they malfunctioned.
Truth is stranger than fiction sometimes…
This guy is an equal opportunity nut case. Last time around he ran as a Democrat.
Well if the winner really is a doppelganger from outer space it is comforting to know that Nanci “Loose Screws” Pelosi will welcome him to Washington as just another “American.”
