Basil Marceaux speaks on Campaign Finance Reform

[garywingrove]

[basilmarceaux]

hey all my friends marceaux for hamilton county , tn mayor

[rot1221]

He's special. Lol

[EdFugg]

Ol' Baze would make a darned good security guard, I bet. Or is he already?

[Adhdcomic]

This is the greatest thing ever.

[briskier]

Typical politician, promising the world and delivering nothing. We need serious reform from corporate people with craploads of money who come to our state and buy their way to your heart to make them vote for you.

[raytyler1000]

wow this guy is crazy

[aznlalaland]

You are one hell of a website.

[AustinOConnellVideos]

@aznlalaland i laughed so hard at this comment. holy fuck.

[schahi3213]

@aznlalaland no he just needs to have a brain

[xPearlWolfx]

So this is the guy who is going to try to be Tennessee's governor. What is this world coming to?

[basilmarceaux]

a citizens who reads this page expand several months since the election am glad to see that you are all coming to see my video I'll be on some new ballots comes, 2012 I will see all you their. I want everyone to go to my new website basil Marceaux.com

[JESUSanswers1]

I know, I know who he reminds me of. It's something that is so enduring about him and kinda cute. You ready? He IS the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz!! He found his courage :o)! Thumbs up if u agree he looks & talks like the lion from the Wizard of Oz?

[jasonchearn]

0:13 ftw

[iditarod9]

God grief", a white Obama............

[nowwithmorekick]

Mentally handicapped should be allowed to run as governor if they want.Who are we to tell him what his limitations are in the land of the free?

[cocolike1]

i have one question is this guy drunk??????????

[darkwings10001]

is he retarded?....lol

[BootyFister]

Is he drunk or high? Or is he both?

[basilmarceaux]

@BootyFister i not

[basilmarceaux]

Respond to this video...no i am not

[BootyFister]

@basilmarceaux It's okay if you are. I'd still vote for you.

[MrJdT65]

I love his metaphor about the locomotive. He has such a way with words...

[basilmarceaux]

@MrJdT65 thanks

[grayfeild]

so slow, blah blah blah........SILENT PAUSE.......blah blah blah, lol

[YTRadioBeta]

Before judging him, you should watch the movie "Being There" beginning to end.

[metallegion501]

i'm gonna make your life happy in many places!

[Zackasourus]

Hahahahaha, pause at second 14

[WMDimes]

If anyone says they would vote for this man, you're fucking insane.

[Vberg56]

he seems like a nice guy but WHY would you vote for soemone who wold fine you for not having a gun?

[Borat911]

He seems like a nice person

[leahdahl]

this is the only reasonable idea he ever expressed. his other "policies" are based in insanity and would create chaos

[bigdroz1982]

Politicians, stop being greasy and selfish, open your ears and pay attention. This man may not be a genius but he can teach you a thing or two about ethics and responsibility and treating those who trust you the way they deserve to be treated.

[bigdroz1982]

When you spend your entire term trying to butter up companies to give you sweet, cushy, MASSIVELY well paying easy gigs for you and your family when you get out of politics you CAN'T be working for us, the people, those who entrusted you with such great power. How can you make a decision against the interest of some1 who you want to give you a $2 million seat on their board or $250,000 speaking engagement fees? YOU CAN"T and so you screw us! This guy may not be smart but he is genuine and decent

[bigdroz1982]

This guys name is Basil because he is as dumb as a plant. That is why it is so astonishing that a few of his ideas are good. Running based on your merits instead of your checkbook, brilliant. Not taking kickbacks or special interest funding, genius. Why the hell can't um, EVERY OTHER POLITICIAN figure this shit out. It's not hard to be decent and fair and to truly work for the people and not your self. If he can do it any1 should be able to. Forget the seats on company boards after your term!!!

[KINKYG11242]

I wish he could speak better, then people would take him seriously

[knlio]

Fifty Five Hundred Thousand Dollars to run for congress

[knlio]

Fifty Five Hundred Thousand Dollars

[mrbarr911]

"Transcribe audio" clears it all up for us!

[TheAngelus0712]

I really miss my life being happy...for the past 144 years.

[Akirathedon92]

ALL HAIL BASIL MARCEAUX.COM

[basilmarceaux]

@Akirathedon92 thanks

[J88Wolf]

I'm Shubswibing.

[92rs25th]

19 people have crap-loads of money.

[stridetide155]

Bless him...

[oJKBo]

pause at :13

[Explosiveelm]

Basil Marceaux.com promises not to perform dental on you. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if he could hook you up with a tank of nitrous.

[mostaryankidyouknow]

anyone know if this guy won

[Explosiveelm]

@mostaryankidyouknow He lost.

[BrendanStuart]

@Explosiveelm

less than 1%

[basilmarceaux]

@mostaryankidyouknow i won a higher court decision while running for governor all city court are civil not criminal

[dewaynehart]

i would have voted for this man over fail Obama anyday!

[NoMayo]

@dewaynehart lol, except Obama used this same type of rhetoric in the 2008 Presidential campaign. Granted, his delivery was much more eloquent, but they essentially have the same message hahah.

[BIueMax]

he talks like the world is coming to an end...

[mulebreath]

"Make me give 'em dental" ...

That sounds very wrong.

[EpiTone900]

pause it at 0:13 HE LOOKS CRAZY!!!

[Aljapone]

yeah the idea of money standards for campaigning is a good idea indeed. But what will the media say if all the money they could have earned is spent elsewhere?

[carnesod]

This guy is to politics what Wesley Willis was to music.

[fenderozzman]

@carnesod huzzah! best comment i've read in years

[brandonpconley1]

@timeoftroubles & @nerull What you two say is very true. But just because he is honest, doesn't mean he would make a good leader. The man obviously has mental issues. However, if a simple man who was mentally capable came along, I would be the first to vote for him.

[btarrh]

So he's going to run a train through their state house to find corruption?

[madsniperjosh]

hey hes better than nikki haley..

[ZSpark14]

I actually really like the idea of money standards for campaigning. Money could be spent for better stuff than running propaganda and smear campaigns.

[VFVFCo68]

0:14 LOL!!!!!

[VaticanIscariot]

he has some good ideas.. but he just dont have the capability to put it all into a sensible plan. i really believe that he wants a more equal/happy society. and yes.. we all only hear about republicans and democrats, we rarely hear about the little guys. the little guy's job is basically to take a few votes away from the republicans and demos

[JOZZ145]

Turn on transcribed audio, it makes it even more funnier.....

[TheProf1988]

These ideas are actually great.

[TheBarred123]

those wernt bad ideas

[rockyscatman1]

BASIL MARCEAUX VS JIMMY MCCMILLAN 2012 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

[IronRobben]

Basil! Please run for New Jersey Governor, Christie is destroying our state!

[mrbobbydo]

Im going to vote for his mustache.

[billskev12]

DOT COM!

[brianhau529]

This guy seems like if he got his perspective correct, he could actually do a good job

[practicalwhacktical]

Basil Marceaux is too damn high.

[MrNoexcuses]

@practicalwhacktical One thing he is not, is high. Come on. This man is slow, but he is HONEST. And he knows what needs to be done. Be respectful yeah?

[MrNoexcuses]

@practicalwhacktical Have some respect. He is HONEST. And knows what needs to be done.

[timeoftroubles]

@ JaysGOP Would you like some salt & pepper with that hat?

[gykmeister]

Does this guy even know how to spell his name let alone speak coherently?

Plus did anybody else get scared when he scared he is "gonna make you happy.... in many places?!?!" o.O

[magictoast5]

I voted for basilmarceaux. com

[ff6605]

better than bush

[JMWPros]

Everybody either search "JMWPros" and watch our parody of Basil Marceaux or go to

youtube.com/watch?v=0qWZDFBYce­­g

[bagelsandstuff]

5 million for Congress? I think you're aiming a little low there, BM. I think the price tag for the California candidates is well above 100 million right now, and growing every day.

[TheGingershavenosoul]

THIS GUY HAS FUCKING DOWN SYNDROME HE MAKES NO SENSE

[historyman8]

this man is smarter than all your us politicians combined,any who laugh at him,well you are the reason the usa is suffering.this man is uncorrectable.

[MegaFarthammer]

So people want to tease Basil but they're OK with all the bankers and politicians that ran our economy into the toilet. Basil's honest and forthcomnig, I'd vote for him.

[cocolike1]

@MegaFarthammer u are damn right i hate those fucking people with their $10,000 suit and they really fuck up the economy

loved what u said and i agree with u 

[jonas11hex]

@MegaFarthammer Hitler was pretty forthcoming too. This is a rare situation of someone who is a PERFECT representation of "oh there is a camera and I can say jackass statements in front of it and I have no idea what the difference is between people LAUGHING IN MY FACE and people agreeing with me." He's not making the government better or helping the situation @ all, he's making anyone who agrees with him on any point LESS CREDIBLE.

[FlawlessRevelation]

@MegaFarthammer They tease him because he talks like a fucking retarded person

[shoopwhoopX]

there better be at least 2 guns in my house

[lazlo09]

Wow, just when i thought that there cant be a dumber politician in America then George W Bush, this guy comes and does the impossible. And that is to be even dumber then George W Bush, what is it with you Americans and inbreeding?

Damn it, dont have sex with your familymembers! Sure, the banjo kid in Deliverance is funny, but George W Bush and this guy aint!

Greetings from Sweden...

[lordjanitor]

Good point about campaign money. Lobbyism is actually banned from elections in many european countries.

I also seriously ask myself if this wouldn't be a better choice of politician in many cases. Politicans isn't perfect people, they just pretend they are.

[speedtypermananswer]

WTF! pause at :06 on the bottom left side of the train it says "Incest"

[bb21nla]

:12 - :14 hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

[TheeMikester]

His face at 0:13 is great

[Squashedstrawberries]

@An8thLegionModeler smoke cock bitch

[rollinmitchell1]

The idea about all candidates campaigning with an equal amount of money is honestly not a bad idea.

[KillaCamCorte]

So...if somebody shakes his hand, then he feels obligated to owe them dental?

Is that right? Did I just hear him say that he is a dentist as well?

[popomczowzow]

I'm standing here today....at this locomotive.

[brandonpconley1]

Say deh pwedge aweigance befaw ya go...

[brandonpconley1]

55 hundred dollars.

I personally breeve that's a crapload of money.

[psychomajic666]

Basil Marceaux for president in 2012!

Please Basil, don't ever leave the public eye.

Your videos and words are an inspiration to us all!

Say the pledge of allegiance to the replublic, and pray and say AMEN - YESS!!!!

[ridewave444]

Well, he probably has more integrity in his little finger than most other politicians have in their whole body.

[orangetokyo]

Very persuasive!

[teofthe1]

well he's different so he's got my vote.

[Olaboy808]

I actually like this guy. He's genuine. Most politicians have long lost that characteristic. And campaign finance reform is something overlooked that really does need to be addressed. When companies, even foreign companies, are allowed to fund campaigns, there's something wrong.

[Squashedstrawberries]

retard.

[dismo77]

BASIL MARCEAUX!... FUCK YEAH!

[XxXiCarlyFan3594XxX]

if he ran in texas, his fellow retarded inbred shits would definitely vote for him

[SonicPatch]

@XxXiCarlyFan3594XxX T_T In Texas alteast people know that iCarly is for short minded retards and that Basil will be elected president in the year 2013 after Obama's assassination.

[XxXiCarlyFan3594XxX]

@SonicPatch texas is full of fat stupid shits like him and you

[SonicPatch]

@XxXiCarlyFan3594XxX Lawl AHHAAHHAHAHAHAHA "Run and tell that, Homeboy!"

- Antoine Dodson

[seige184]

@XxXiCarlyFan3594XxX stfu. Basil is awesome!

[XxXiCarlyFan3594XxX]

@seige184 because his pancake tits are the size of your face?

[timeoftroubles]

If you set aside the obvious trouble this man has expressing himself, and listen very carefully, you'll find that his ideas are reasonable, honest, and sound... I can think of only a very small handful of politicians that are both reasonable and honest... Sad state of affairs when so many people point and laugh when they should be listening and learning. I'm not saying this man is fit for sitting in the Governor's seat; but if this man can problem solve, why can't mainstream politicians?

[wiggles19841]

@timeoftroubles How are his ideas any good?? He has no freaking ideas

[wiggles19841]

@timeoftroubles How are his ideas any good?? He has no freaking ideas. I take that back i like his mony idea for political candidates flat fee and rich men get no leg up. Just a small FYI thats UK politics rich or poor no candidate can spend over 12k

[popomczowzow]

@timeoftroubles

He also has some crazy ideas- no more gun control laws?

[lepthymo]

@timeoftroubles fair enough, can i still make fun of him though?

[mgalusic]

@timeoftroubles he obviously is slightly autistic. I also do not agree with a lot of his policies on gun control and law enforcement. Also I don't think "sellign plantation for gas" will work.

[RichardMNixon]

@timeoftroubles

No, they aren't. He wants to sell grass from vacant lots, force people to carry guns, and has something against traffic lights.  The man is out of his mind.

[JaysGOP]

@timeoftroubles If your not a Palin loving tea party retard I'll eat me hat.

[harryfromwork]

@timeoftroubles That is so F***ing true, it's actually quite sad.

[AngryScissor]

@timeoftroubles Mainstream politicians certainly CAN problem solve, they're just corrupt. Basil Marceaux is honest but completely retarded.

[daland24]

you know, the first time i saw this guy i laughed, and thought he couldnt be for real. But you are EXACTLY right. this guy is what our Government actually needs. He has very good ideas and VERY Patriotic beliefs that our USA founders would be proud of. Instead we are full of politicians who are nothing but greedy and in it to better themselves and their bank accounts. Too bad more people dont have the passion this guy does. He just needs to work more on his public speaking.

[daland24]

[J88Wolf]

@timeoftroubles That's Politics For you.

[timeoftroubles]

@J88Wolf

Sad... But very, very true.

[CuMbUsTeD]

@timeoftroubles this guys nutt case

[Dandramere]

@timeoftroubles This man cannot problem solve he talks absolute nonsense, I wouldn't trust him to make me fucking eggs in the morning. There is nothing respectable about this mans positions on any of the policies he outlines. I challenge you to use every ounce of articulatory ability you have to talk for any of the points he makes. ;)

[basilmarceaux]

@Dandramere  hey guy i will challenge you anytime on anything i ever said -basil marceaux 423-362-0088

[Dandramere]

@basilmarceaux I ain't phoning your arse I am based in the UK, but if you are really Basil I will spank you all over the internet, you send me a message privatly explaining how you're fine people$10 for not having a weapon?

[failtolawl]

@timeoftroubles Hitler had decent ideas that were sound, honest, and reasonable.

[jtube420]

could be worse we could have the terminator as governor

[cdbertole1]

@jtube420 haha

[vixelpixen]

@jtube420 hilarious!!! I'd wager this guy would do a better job than Pelosi and others in gov't offices

[sandmonkey322]

whats with the dot com moniker?

i dont think your not winning because your getting screwed by your fellow polititions, i think its because your wearing a badge infront of a train for no reason and sound like a drunk

[nerull1025]

@sandmonkey322

He's wearing the badge a FBA would give a civilian to grant them the authority to arrest anyone hindering the constitution, such as police who could normally arrest the civilian just for looking at him funny. He talks that way because apparently Tennessee has the same standard of dentistry as the British, unless you're rich enough to have dental.

Everyone who mocks Basil does so because they are too ignorant to find out the details of what he's actually fighting for.

[Eseress]

@nerull1025 No, it's because he's a fucking moron who can't even complete his thoughts, and is living in the past. Do you even know that he was found not guilty by reason of insanity for some traffic violations? He's a fucking nut. Yeah, he doesn't take bribes, awesome, but he's a hack.

[TheFlashFrame]

he's gonna make my life happy? in MANY places?

[bloodman54]

0:13, Death stare.

[k77jones]

reaally cool train but some should have at least washed the bird do off it!

[Streetmastaalex]

"Craploads of money" hahah oh Basil Dot Com

[mefipulate]

if i was american i would vote for you

[njschmidt]

If he works half as hard as that button on his shirt, I don't think you can go wrong voting for this trailblazer.

[whidekitty]

@njschmidt that was the funniest shit i have ever read

[kristina1097]

i never thought i'd see the day when i'd say this, but this guy is a bigger idiot than George Bush

[RapiDEraZeR]

aw fuck at 2:51 i understood "ima make your WIFE happy...in many places"

xD had a good laugh on that

[rolfalmao]

if you can put aside his mannerisms, his positions are actually worth considering

[gangsta9181]

I'm from Tennessee and I like him. He may not be the most suitable candidate, but he has the good for Tennessee at heart. And let's be honest folks, Tennessee is in real trouble, financially and with violence and the murder rate. Memphis has competed for the murder capital almost every year. He may not be articulate, but he's right, Tennessee needs some real change!

[Gandon95]

LMAO. HESE GOING TO THROW IT IN A "SPECIAL" FUND. LOLOLOLOLOLOL

irony.

[AdamBomb669]

Nobody has done anything in 144 years.,,,,, You heard it here first.

[SyphusBatterus]

Is he retarded? LoL!

[aligzanduh]

You got my vote Basil. I'll help you with technical issues. You have a great heart.

[j82b]

Good for him.

[j82b]

Good for him. That is great.

[laughingwarlock]

It's so sad when somebody puts their heart and soul into something the love but fail miserably / spectacularly at it. You can tell that this guy really wants to do the right thing and hold a leadership position where he can help the country that he loves, but he's completely inept in every conceivable way. Honestly, you couldn't TRY to sound that stupid while running for Governor even if you were a classically trained actor with 4 conflicting lobby groups.

He's the Tommy Wisseau of politics.

[AdamBomb669]

@laughingwarlock Completely inept in every conceivable way, as opposed to Palin, Bush and Obama.

[laughingwarlock]

@AdamBomb669 Ha ha ha oooooh burn on them.

[nerull1025]

@AdamBomb669 too true.

Basil has something as rare as a 5-leaved clover among politicians, a conscience.

[alexgillespie1]

@nerull1025 until someone offers him a brand new choochoo train :)

[wgamador]

Gotta love this country.

".........Make me want to give them dental or something."

This guy is awesome.

[lin2k4]

Fucking insane!

[asmith140]

I don't believe he has the mental capacity to run a freight train through Tennessee's budget. Could he spell corruption?

[OregonAlleyCat]

I actually agree with him. Socialized campaign financing would be a good thing IMO.

[MasterFhyl]

this may not be a "joke" but he is obviously a Democrat plant

[flynice100]

He has A Gore beat hands down and he's already smarter than Obama!

[MasterFhyl]

@flynice100 I agree with you, but hes still a Democrat plant

[Jerry35551312]

This guy may not be very book smart, but his hearts in the right place.

[NekanChicle]

Was he flipping the camera off at 14 seconds? :o

[p8ntb0ll]

Just because someone doesn't have exactly what someone would call "great speaking skills" doesn't mean that they don't know what they are doing.

[Rexem96]

@p8ntb0ll

1. bush

2. your a complete dumbass because this guys got the whole stupid package. if he says that we shouldnt need licenses for guns, then thats what he means, and will enforce if hes elected, which is bad. wtf is wrong with you?

[88Meters]

Mr .com deserves to be president.
