Alvin Greene says he was born to be President

Alvin Greene, former Democrat candidate for senator from the great state of South Carolina, has set his sites on an even loftier goal – the Presidency.

It’s his destiny, his fate, his raison d’être. Or, perhaps, it’s just the drugs kicking in.

Alvin Greene, former senate candidate, future President of the United States

The Columbia Free-Times reports that and other little nuggets:

Former U.S. Senate candidate Alvin Greene was pacing the second floor of the Richland County Courthouse around 9 a.m. Tuesday in a pair of wind pants, a gray Army T-shirt and a green baseball cap, which an officer later told him to remove when he entered the courtroom without his attorney.

It’s just a roll call,” Greene told Free Times. “At most a not guilty plea.”

Greene was indicted this summer on charges that he showed pornographic material to a college girl on the University of South Carolina campus.
While in the courtroom Tuesday, Greene said he didn’t want to see a story on his hearing in Free Times and if the paper published one he would take legal action.

I’m going to sue y ’all,” he said, adding that the court bailiff was his witness. Instead, Greene wanted to talk about something else. “Write about me running for president,” Greene said. “I’m running for president of the United States.” Greene said he was born to be president and that he turns 35 in August of 2012.

“I’m the next president,” Greene said, while sitting on a bench. “I’ll be 35 … just before November, so I was born to be president.”

Alvin Greene. America’s second black President.

What the hell, he couldn’t be any worse than the first one.

Go, Alvin: Greene may run against Lindsey Graham in 2014

Alvin Greene is our man in 2014

The Daily Caller has the details:

Though Senator Jim DeMint is projected to have won reelection by a long shot by the major news networks, Democratic challenger Alvin Greene has yet to give up hope on ballots that haven’t been counted yet.

“I don’t know,” Greene said in a phone interview with The Daily Caller. “They aren’t all in yet.”

Greene has also told TheDC he is mulling a possible run against Republican Lindsey Graham in 2014.

“I would have run against Graham three years ago if I wasn’t in the military,” Greene said. For a potential 2014 candidacy, Greene said, “I have to see where my priorities are.”

We’ll make you this pledge right now, Alvin:

If you decide to run against RINO Lindsey Graham, we’ll throw the full support of IHateTheMedia.com behind your campaign. You couldn’t be worse than Graham and you’d give us a lot more laughs.

Alvin Greene makes an interesting campaign appearance. Yeah, let’s go with “interesting.”

In this clip, South Carolina Democrat Alvin Greene works his way into the background as a local TV reporter does a live story from the fair.

Apparently, when your campaign’s on a limited budget, you’re forced to do whatever you can to get TV time. Even if it means paying your way into the South Carolina State Fair and making a fool of yourself.

In this clip, South Carolina Democrat Alvin Greene works his way into the background as a local TV reporter does a live story from the fair. That’s Alvin wearing the green T-shirt and cap just over the reporter’s left shoulder. Yeah, that’s right. He’s the one waving and making rabbit ears over the reporter’s head.

Amazingly enough, 11% of South Carolina voters still say they’re going to vote for this guy.

If that South Carolina election doesn’t work out for you, Alvin, move to California. We’ve already elected Governor Moonbeam and Barbara Boxer, so your odds are considerably better out here.

The kind of hard-hitting interview that will make MSNBC number one…one…one (insert echo sound effect here)

New MSNBC host Lawrence and South Carolina Senate Candidate Alvin Greene. Dumb and dumber. Literally. O’Donnell apparently thought it would be funny to interview Greene and prepared a series of stupid questions like “Why was your high school nickname ‘Turtle?’”

New MSNBC host Lawrence and South Carolina Senate Candidate Alvin Greene. Dumb and dumber. Literally.

O’Donnell apparently thought it would be funny to interview Greene and prepared a series of stupid questions like “Why was your high school nickname ‘Turtle?’”

But Greene one-upped him in the stupid department by answering every question with the same answer: “Jim DeMint started the recession.”

This, of course, offended O’Donnell, because everyone at MSNBC knows that George Bush started the recession. And the War in Iraq. And the Great Depression. And the Boxer Rebellion.

Are Democrat voters even dumber than Alvin Greene?

Apparently, those southern rednecks are just as ignorant as Democrats say they are. It appears, however, that it is the Democrats themselves who are making that gross generalization accurate.

21% of South Carolina voters think Alvin Greene would make a dandy senator.

According to a new Rasmussen poll, 21% of the voters in South Carolina are dumb enough to vote for a completely unqualified, possibly intellectually impaired candidate.

Rasmussen reports the details:

Republican Senator Jim DeMint earns his highest level of support yet in his bid for reelection in South Carolina.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely South Carolina Voters finds DeMint, who is seeking a second six-year term, earning 64% of the vote, while Democrat Alvin Greene earns 21% support. Ten percent (10%) prefer another candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.

In the 2004 election, DeMint’s Democrat opponent got 44.1% of the vote. Since Greene is now getting 21% of the vote, that means that half of South Carolina’s Democrats are willing to overlook the fact that he is dimmer than a 25-watt bulb and give him their votes. What kind of thought process leads these people to a conclusion that says, “I think he’ll do a bang up job representing me and my state in the United States Senate.”

But if could be worse. Looks like damn near every California Democrat is going to vote for Barbara Boxer and she’s only marginally smarter than Alvin Greene. And that’s giving her the benefit of the doubt.

Alvin Greene demonstrates what most Democrat candidates will be doing on the night of November 2

Just in case there’s anyone left out there who doesn’t think South Caroline senate candidate Alvin Greene is, shall we say, different, this video clip should change your mind.

Alvin turned away a TV reporter at his front door, so the reporter began talking to his brother in the front yard. Alvin’s response? He began howling from inside the house.

“Noooooooooooooooooooo. Noooooooooooooooooo.”

Far as we’re concerned, this makes Alvin Greene a leader. He’s merely demonstrating the mournful sound so many other Democrat candidates are going to be making on the night of November 2.

Coming soon to a store near you: Alvin Greene action figures

A reporter from the Guardian UK spent a couple hours with Alvin Greene, South Carolina’s Democrat Senate candidate. He discovered that Greene has some…uhhh…interesting ideas about job creation.

But wait! There's more! Order your Alvin Greene action figure in the next ten minutes and we'll throw in a Barney Frank action figure absolutely free!

A reporter from the Guardian UK spent a couple hours with Alvin Greene, South Carolina’s Democrat Senate candidate. He discovered that Greene has some…uhhh…interesting ideas about job creation.

The Guardian has the details:

…It is clear, too, in the course of the two hours I spend with Greene that he has some pretty wacky ideas that, were he to win in November, would put him among the more unpredictable members of the senate. At one point, he lurches off on his big idea for how to create jobs in South Carolina.

“Another thing we can do for jobs is make toys of me, especially for the holidays. Little dolls. Me. Like maybe little action dolls. Me in an army uniform, air force uniform, and me in my suit. They can make toys of me and my vehicle, especially for the holidays and Christmas for the kids. That’s something that would create jobs. So you see I think out of the box like that. It’s not something a typical person would bring up. That’s something that could happen, that makes sense. It’s not a joke.”

Instead of an action figure, perhaps Alvin should consider the Alvin Greene talking doll. Pull the string and it says absolutely nothing intelligent.

Jon Stewart says, “Don’t blame Alvin Greene, blame the rest of the South Carolina Democrats”

Here’s his point of view on Alvin Greene winning the right to represent the Democrat primary in South Carolina’s United States Senate race.

We’re not willing to say that Jon Stewart is fair, but he’s as fair as his world view allows him to be. There. How’s that?

Here’s his point of view on Alvin Greene winning the right to represent the Democrat primary in South Carolina’s United States Senate race.

“This is the political equivalent of running yourself a warm bath,” Stewart notes, “falling asleep next to it with your hand in the tub, wetting yourself, and then blaming the Republicans.”

There’s more. Lots more.

New poll shows Democrats really are dumb enough to vote for Alvin Greene

We don’t know how to break this to the Democrats gently, so we’ll just be blunt: It looks like Democrats are dumb enough to vote for Alvin Greene.

According to a new Rasmussen poll, Republican Jim DeMint leads Democrat Alvin Greene by a 37% margin.

Here’s how Rasmussen describes the situation:

While South Carolina Democrats fret over how an unemployed political unknown with a felony charge hanging over him won their party’s Senate nomination, the first Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of the general election contest finds incumbent Republican Senator Jim DeMint far in the lead.

DeMint, who is seeking a second six-year term, earns support from 58% of Likely Voters in South Carolina, while Democratic nominee Alvin Greene picks up 21% of the vote. Nine percent (9%) like some other candidate, and 13% are undecided.

Rasmussen says DeMint is “far in the lead”, but we don’t think that’s the real story told by this survey.

The Democrats – nationally and in South Carolina – insist that Greene must be a Republican plant, that a dimwit like this couldn’t possibly win their primary honestly, that their voters can’t possibly be dumb enough to give him their votes, that voter fraud was committed with magnets.

Yet according to Rasmussen, Greene would still garner 21% of the votes if the election were held today even though his own party calls him a fraud and he’s revealed himself to be, shall we say, less than a genius.

There are 2,585,911 registered voters in South Carolina. voter turn-out was 34.6% in the last non-presidential general election. If these totals hold up in this election, it means that Greene’s 21% of the vote translates into 187,892 votes, which is, of course, substantially more than he received in the primary.

We don’t know how to break this to the Democrats gently, so we’ll just be blunt: It looks like Democrats are dumb enough to vote for Alvin Greene.

Which one’s crazier? Olbermann interviews Alvin Greene.

This Keith Olbermann interview of Alvin Greene features awkward moments of silence. Long, awkward moments of silence. And those were the best parts of the interview.

You’ve probably heard about Alvin Greene, the guy South Caroline Democrats nominated to run against popular Republican Jim DeMint for the U.S. Senate.

This Olbermann interview features awkward moments of silence. Long, awkward moments of silence. And those were the best parts of the interview. In fact, they may have been the best moments of any Keith Olbermann show we’ve ever seen.

Greene is a Democrat, so of course, Olbermann treated him with the utmost respect despite the fact that he has a felony obscenity charge pending against him and despite the fact that he appears to be certifiably insane.

Greene, that is, not Olbermann. Although he’s pretty damned crazy, too.

We knew this guy sounded familiar: Alvin Greene inspired by Peter Sellers character?

The story. The voice. The mannerisms. No doubt about it, South Carolina Democrat Alvin Greene is bringing Chauncey Gardener, the Peter Sellers character in Being There, to life.

South Carolina Democrats nominate unknown, unemployed loser with pending felony obscenity charge

Republicans. They’re more informed. More educated. And, apparently, more likely to nominate someone like Alvin Greene.

Alvin Greene can run for office, but he can't run from his past.

Those Democrats, we’re often told, are just plain smarter than Republicans. They’re more informed. More educated. And, apparently, more likely to nominate someone like Alvin Greene.

Greene won South Carolina’s Democrat Senate primary on Tuesday, but no one is quite sure how. A lot of candidates get labeled unknown outside their own states, but Greene is unknown inside his own state. That may explain why he won the primary.

In addition to being unknown, Greene is unemployed. He says he paid for his entire campaign with his own funds.

“It was 100 percent out of my pocket. I’m self-managed. It’s hard work, and just getting my message to supporters. I funded my campaign 100 percent out of my pocket and self-managed,” he added.

South Carolina Democratic Party Chairwoman Carol Fowler says blind luck may have propelled Greene to victory:

“[Greene may have] won because his name appeared first on the ballot, and voters unfamiliar with both candidates chose alphabetically.”

Unfortunately for Greene, he is not completely unknown in South Carolina. Police seem to know him pretty well. In November of 2009, he was charged with a felony for showing “adult” photos to a University of South Carolina student. A conviction could mean up to five years in prison and if he should he win in November, that would overlap rather neatly with his six-year senate term.

Greene may become the first Democrat to be convicted before going to Washington, DC, effectively reversing the typical Democrat career path.

UPDATE: We found his Alvin Greene’s inspiration.
