Dayton area man running for president
Fat chance you’ll ever see Timothy Brewer on a nationally televised presidential debate, but the Republican from Dayton is on the primary ballot in New Hampshire as a presidential candidate.
His views don’t exactly match his party’s national platform.
Brewer vowed that speaking with Jesus through “afterlife orbs” would solve the world’s problems at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics and Political Library two-hour forum for the lesser-known presidential candidates, according to a recent Associated Press article.
Attempts to reach Brewer about his candidacy failed.
He was among 10 Republicans and seven Democrats to appear. Here’s what the news service said about two others.
“In a thundering voice, Ed O’Donnell, a Democrat from Wilmington, Del., called for a return to ‘love, kindness, mercy, tolerance, friendliness, forgiveness, second chances and old-fashioned manners,’ and said he would outlaw all guns. And performance artist and perennial candidate Vermin Supreme — he yanked up his shirt to show off a scar from a kidney transplant — made his familiar pitch for better oral hygiene.”
It takes just $1,000 to get on the ballot in New Hampshire.

Hmmm, any whackjob with gumshun and a thousand dollars can run for President. Jeez, that sounds like the 7 other Republican candidates too. (I’m an independent.)

One can only imagine getting rid of the past century…LOL, Since everything is unconstitutional according to Ron Paul. His ideas on war are good but the rest of his idiot ideas …….Well by the time you are old and can’t work, you will love Social Security and Medicare. And no, putting a bullet in the head of weak people is not an option. Ask itler…..

yea, for one fleeting moment, I thought maybe, just maybe, this might be a story about a person with a real grass-roots message that makes sense; a person that maybe could represent Dayton, but alas …

Had this mentally unbalanced person stated the same “orb” info…and been a Democrat…his party affilation would not have been mentioned in this article… with most of you political idiot savants out there still wondering why this country is being divided by political polarization. Keep reading the DDN, prolitariats…it feeds you your daily “Pravda”. (Russian for “Truth”). I continue to access the DDN online because of the fantastic George Orwellian writing that never ceases to entertain and amaze me.

My after life orb tells me trollies in Cincinnati and streetcars in Dayton are a bust. Cincy is broke, Dayton is bankrupt. No one will use them except Karon.

Get Real, if Rhine McLin was running, at least we’d know that the main news each day was what hat she was wearing, rather than the political precedents she was attempting to set or her viewpoint on anything. No one can get past the hypnotizing effect of some of her headwear to actually pay attention to what she’s saying. Might be an improvement, who knows? :)

There is no one decent running this Election, wRong Paul, has everyone fooled. The man casts no reflection. This election, a broken vacuum cleaner shows more promise. Don’t be swayed by these people espousing the virtues of wRONg Paul, he is just as evil as the rest. Washington NEEDS a CLEAN SLATE with innovative thinkers, not the same old grandstanding from the pulpit crap.

Streetcars will be wonderful for Cincinnati! Dayton should be considering the streetcars also! Cincinnati breaks ground for the streetcars in January creating jobs!
