Locally Sourced: Meet Democratic Presidential Candidate Vermin Supreme

National politics may steal most of the mainstream media’s time and attention, but a look at local politics can reveal personalities who are less filtered, less primed for prime time and, most importantly, aren’t the same politicians discussed ad nauseum. In that spirit, here’s an ongoing look at some of the more noteworthy, surprising, and/or inspiring personalities working within local politics today.

When local “friendly fascist” Vermin Supreme places his giant boot hat on his head and thoughtfully strums his impressive beard, he means business. Business and dental hygiene. Described as a “performance artist, anarchist and activist,” whom, per his website, is “not to be confused with Waffles the Clown,” Vermin Supreme has participated in elections at various levels of government, this time focusing his efforts on his 2012 run for president of the United States.

Speaking at New Hampshire’s Saint Anselm College back in December, Vermin Supreme rightfully noted that “gingivitis has been eroding the gumline of this great nation long enough,” adding that our country has been suffering “a great moral and oral decay, in spirit and incisors.” For truly, how can we, as a country, hope to “bite back” when we are essentially a “nation in dentured,” our “very salivation at stake”? These are the questions no one else is asking.

In 2006, Vermin Supreme underwent surgery to give his mother a kidney — a fact he shared during the lesser-known candidates forum — and hopes to make kidney donation mandatory when he is elected President. A kidney in every body, and a pony in every home. Speaking of viscera, Vermin Supreme is also keen on harvesting energy from a natural, renewable energy resource: Zombies.

Vermin Supreme closed his speech in New Hampshire by glitter bombing fellow candidate Randall Terry, a pro-life activist and newly-minted Democrat, because Jesus told him to “turn Terry gay.” Par for the course.

Have a look at his speech (in multiple clips) in New Hampshire, via C-Span:

“And you should let me run your life because I do know what’s best for you…”

Definitely a Democrat, no doubt about it.

Sounds like someone’s arguing for the stupid, I mean, liberal vote. Needless to say, we can expect more stupid decisions from Obama to keep this guy out.

I am not a big fan of ‘glitter bombing’ but doing it to Randall Terry is pretty awesome. Hope Mr. Supreme doesn’t get mysteriously firebombed soon though by one of Terry’s supporters

How do you feel about the anti salt, anti soda pop, anti light bulb, anti hate speech (aka anything non progressive), anti gun, anti right-to-work, anti-trans-fat, anti smoking, anti home thermostat adjusting (see link below for that laugh), anti-spank your kids, legislation?

If Obama started wearing a boot on his head the media would still only ask him questions about his NBA picks or his favorite color and completely ignore the boot and call anyone who mentions it a racist!

Well, as long as we are waiting for congress to pass bills before we can see whats in it…no we cant.

vermin’s hilarious. in 1992 i was campaigning with tom harkin in new hampshire and up came vermin hand outstrectched and asked to what his position was on “the weather”

vermins platform that year was all about how it was “too damn hot in the summer and too damn cold in the winter” and that he as president would dome all major cities and keep it a comfortable 72.

id vote for him over obama or mitt myself.
Tim Howe

find?

the political press has known vermin for decades now.

heck i threw a party for him in dc in 96nor 97.

hes a funny dude.
Henry Wood

Derp. It’s like conservatives have no ability to process humor.
Henry Wood

Please show examples of laws that prohibit the purchase of salt, light bulbs, or soda pop. Likewise, please show examples of gun laws passed by the Obama administration.

There are no anti-right-to-work laws. There are anti union laws, though.

The funny thing is I won’t have to vote for the guy, while you will be forced to vote for Romney if you want any chance of winning the White House!! Lol!!

As for gun laws, I never said Obama did pass an anti gun law, its always done at the state level, and the main offenders of the 2nd Amendment are Dems.

And the anti-right-to-work laws….your right, the Administration did not pass anything. They just used the Justice Department and the power of the Executive branch in order to Keep Boeing from moving operations out of Washington State to South Carolina…No legislation needed!
