Hobo Hall of Fame

You may ask, "what is a hobo?"  I will answer.  In the political context it is an unqualified “candidate” who travels around and begs for money/support. Once he receives money/support, he usually wastes it on drugs/prostitution/gambling.

The following song gives a good example:


So who fits into this category?

Lee Wrights: "As Andy said, find a homeless man,  take him to a local goodwill,  buy him a cheap suit, and you got Lee Wrights."

Wrights is a "publisher" who ran for president in 2012. He lost. Then he decided to run for governor of Texas.  After receiving donations and using it on God knows what,  he decided he wouldn't run for governor after all.



"Hobo Bob" Robert Milnes: I found Hobo Bob in Philadelphia sleeping on a park bench. He couldn't afford the bus fare back home because he lost his wallet.  He claimed the government stole his wallet to prevent him from becoming president.



Michael Badnarik: A "computer programmer" without any political experience that the Libertarian Party nominated for president in 2004. Wasted the party's full ballot access by receiving one of the lowest percentages in the history of the party.



Ted T. Ganaway: Cartoon version of Badnarik. A King of the Hill character who wants to be elected president so he can move out of his parent's basement.  Probably works there as a "computer programmer."
