Byron "Low-Tax" Looper (R-Obviously): Proof that Repukes were just as crazy a decade ago...
Byron (Low Tax) Looper (born Byron Anthony Looper on September 15, 1964), is a former RRPUBLICAN politician in Tennessee. In order to advance his political career, he legally changed his middle name from 'Anthony' to "Low Tax". After being convicted for the October 1998 MURDER of his election opponent, incumbent Tennessee State Senator Tommy Burks, he is now serving a life sentence in Tennessee state prison.

Interestingly, he would have been elected had Burks' wife not run a write-in campaign against him (owing to his being the only name on the ballot).

1,531 people voted for Looper. I hope they're being well-taken care of by competent authorities.
