The guy's a bit cooky. He's been in New York for years. Apparently a few years back he tried to sue the M&M's company claiming that they copied his image for the blue M&M character (which is when I learned of him - I collect M&M's memorabilia).

No, but I have seen him many times when I worked in the area. Very, very popular with the old ladies. Very successful "small" business owner.....lol Claims to make $150/hr-200/hr cash. Probably understated, because you put a senior next to him, she will empty her pocketbook for a picture.

Hey, you got to give the guy credit, he knows how to turn a profit with low overhead.

This guy has learned how to turn a buck. At first thought he was a fugative from a Nut Hut, but after looking a little deeper I realize he is a marketing genious. Bet he don't claim $150.00 to $200.00 and hour on his taxes, if he even pays taxes.

That may be but how many of you have a business where you can deduct the cost of your underwear?

I do see no problem with, and the enjoyment in shaking up "the hill". billy clinton and his sax was bad enough, not sure I'm ready for a guitar player in his underwear. What would his executive orders be like? Would congress and senate stonewall him at every turn until he "performed"? This type of thing is what the media will have a very good time with.Folks want the tea party taken seriously, will this do it? Maybe the tea party in NY is a "different sect" ? $:-\$

teddy12b · « **Reply #13 on:** October 07, 2010, 08:41:42 AM »

I don't think anyone who considers politics seriously would vote for this guy, but I certainly hope that the TEA becomes the third party and acts the way the republican party should have been all along.

Since he's not 42, he's just blowing smoke. Can't be president for another 3 years. gypsyman

I Have to agree with ya , on the surface it's funny, outside pf politics its funny, but below the surface, given the political environment it just emphasizes to serious voters that the Tea Party has been infiltrated with extremists and nut Jobs (one of the main reasons I disassociated myself with Tea party) was good idea at first for me , now it's just a circus in my eyes..., so the serious voters who have aligned themselves with Tea party now face another uphill battle to be taken seriously at the polls. The guy is a marketing genius though.

gypsyman · « **Reply #17 on:** October 07, 2010, 09:01:00 AM »

oops, sorry, just checked it out. Only has to be 35. Don't know why I thought 42. gypsyman

Probably not a good idea to post such pictures in the main thread. That takes to to a NSFW (Not Safe For Work) area.

from what i gather, the tea party has not endorsed this guy. he said he would run on a tea party type agenda....... there is a HUGE difference between running on a platform similar to and being endorsed by the tea party.
