At Least He's Not Your Candidate

  • 17 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

Feeling frustrated with Colorado’s crop of gubernatorial candidates? Well, it could be worse. In another edition of “At Least They’re Not Your Legislators,” we head to Minnesota:

Yesterday I added the name of Jonathon Sharkey to the lengthy list of candidates running for Minnesota Governor in 2006. Sharkey — the candidate of the Vampyres, Witches and Pagans Party — previously was a political activist and GOP congressional candidate for office in New Jersey and elsewhere under his former semi-pro wrestling name of Rocky “Hurricane” Flash. Anyways, I had mistakenly described Sharkey on the Minnesota page as a “Wiccan Dark Priest.” Because of this I quickly received the following email from Sharkey’s campaign: “Thank you very much for placing Jonathon’s name for the race for Governor. However, he is a Satanic Dark Priest, not a Wiccan. Wiccan’s do not believe in Christianity at all. Satanist are against the Christian God … Can you please update this as soon as your time allows, to avoid the Wiccan Communities becoming angry at Jonathon.” We certainly don’t want to offend the Wiccans, do we. FYI: Sharkey has also filed paperwork with the FEC to run for President in 2008 as the VWP nominee.

  1. Greetings my fellow Americans,

    At least unlike Bush and the other politicans we have in DC, I am completely honest about my beliefs, as well as who and what I am.

    Here is my agenda. What do you think.
    1)  Improving education/school systems,
    including school bus transportation.

    2)  Farming – helping Minnesota farmers
    with state grants and tax-breaks, so
    they can keep their farms, and make a
    significant profit.

    3)  Start an Anti-Drug task force to go
    after drug dealers, especially in and
    around schools.

    4)  Better benefits for all Minnesota
    Veterans, especially those who were
    injured in the Gulf Wars, Vietnam, any
    and all combat operations, along with
    those who were injured during military
    service.

    5)  I will not allow the activation of any
    Minnesota National Guard Units to fight
    in Iraq. I will lobby to bring our Guard
    troops back from Iraq ASAP! I will defy
    President Bush if need be.

    6)  Any one found committing an act of
    terrorism in Minnesota will be IMPALED
    by me at the State Capital. If the US
    DOJ wants to prosecute me for it, then I
    will take my chances in Court.

    7)  Blacklist – I will blacklist all
    companies that have left the US and
    relocated to another country. No
    company will prosper as a result of
    causing Americans financial hardship
    from losing their jobs, as a result of
    that company relocating to another
    country.

    8)  DWI/DUI – Those who are found guilty
    of DWI/DUI of drugs and/or alcohol in
    Minnesota will serve time in jail for
    their criminal and dangerous actions. A
    minimum of 3-months without a stay of
    judgement.

    9)  All religious beliefs will be
    protected under my administration. I will
    erect the “Wall of Religious Beliefs” in
    the Capital. This wall will have
    everything from the Wiccan Rede to the
    10 Commandments.

    10)  Judicial Reform is a major personal
    concern of mine. I will enact a law that
    holds judges and prosecutors liable for
    wrongly incarcerating innocent people.
    In addition, I will have people who file
    false complaints against another
    person imprisoned for their illegal
    actions.

    11)  Boot Camp for juvenile offenders.
    If parents are unable to cope with an
    out of control child, who is repeatedly
    breaking laws and/or are failing to
    attend school regularly, the child will
    be placed in a “Boot Camp” program ran
    by reserve or former military drill
    sergeants.

    12)  Casinos – I will issue 13 land base
    casinos licenses in Minnesota. These
    licenses will be issued to the highest
    bidders. The highest bidder will receive
    the best site. The money from these bids
    will go to fund all aspects of
    education, farming and veterans
    programs. The tax revenue will be used
    to help lower taxes throughout the
    state.

    13)  MEDICAL CARE AT A FAIR PRICE. 
    Minnesotans work too hard, to have to
    worry about the rising cost of medical
    insurance and prescriptions. Everyone
    should be able to enjoy their free time
    to the fullest. I will introduce an
    ?Universal Medical/prescription Payment
    Plan,? for those Minnesotans who do
    not receive medical insurance from their
    employer. This plan will allow everyone
    to pay a set rate for medical/presription
    insurance, in accordance to what they
    make, not what the insurance companies
    say they have to pay. Hence, allowing
    all Minnesotans to receive the same
    type to medical treatment as The
    President, without paying outrageous
    premiums and/or co-payments. Those who
    are unemployed, indigent, disabled or
    unable to work will receive emergency
    medical care and prescriptions
    regardless. 

    Nel Sangue,

    Jonathon “The Impaler” Sharkey

  2. First of all just because he thinks he’s a vampire doesn’t matter all that much to me.
    When you read his platform personally it sounds pretty fair to me. Also when you think
    about it if he hadn’t said he was a vampire and told everyone his beliefs do you really
    think you would be acting this close minded. Think about it!!!

  6. I am wiccan and do try to give everyone a chance.  I have went to Mr. Sharkey’s website  http://www.jonathonforgovernor.us/Home_page.html  I’ll give him this.  He has cajones the size of Texas.  With as right wing as President Bush is, most liberals (although liberal is not really what he is, is he?) are running scared.  I do not, however, feel that he has much chance of making it.  He takes it to the extreme, almost contradicting himself in the process.  I also do not like being put into the same party as him.  I do not have such extreme views.  “In ye harm none” is the wiccan rede.  Well, he wants to harm.  True, it would be “bad people”.  He really should take wiccan off of his party.
