Related: About this forum"GOP Candidate Charges Opponent Is Dead, Represented By A Body Double"
You can't make this shit up:
KFOR in Oklahoma reports that Timothy Ray Murray believes Rep. Frank Lucas (R-Okla.), his opponent in the congressional Republican primary, was executed three years ago and is being represented by a look-alike. Because he believes Lucas is really dead, Murray said he will challenge the results of Tuesday's Republican primary, in which Murray received 5.2 percent of the vote. Lucas won the primary with 82.8 percent of the vote.
"It is widely known Rep. Frank D. Lucas is no longer alive and has been displayed by a look alike. Rep. Lucas look alike was depicted as sentenced on a white stage in southern Ukraine on or about Jan. 11, 2011," Murray said in a statement posted on his campaign website. The statement claimed Lucas and a few other members of Congress from Oklahoma and other states were shown on television being hanged by The World Court.
"I am contesting that this matter has happen [sic] since his election was blocked, because of the U.S. Defense Departments 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," Murray's statement said.

Murray in a statement assures voters that he, unlike the Lucas body double/robot, is human:
"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 Offices) message to you or to anyone else, as both the other Republican Challengers have," he said.
So where's your proof of that, Timothy Ray Murray? Huh? Huh?
