The [Alabama] Montgomery Advertiser has a little story about two men and their dream of serving their country, and how some are working to keep them down:
- Alabama's Democratic Party is distancing itself from two Democratic candidates for state office who think all illegal immigrants must leave or be killed.
Party officials described the platforms of candidates Larry Darby and Harry Lyon as ridiculous, unconstitutional and offensive. Darby is running for attorney general, and Lyon is a gubernatorial candidate.
Both agree the influx of illegal immigration into Alabama must be stopped, either through public hangings or martial law.
The party didn't know the men's views before they qualified, said Jim Spearman, the party's executive director. Spearman learned of Lyon's views from the Montgomery Advertiser.

Lyon said if elected, he would sponsor a law to get all illegal immigrants out of the state within 90 days, or be hanged in public.
"It would only take five or 10 getting killed and broadcast on CNN for it to send a clear message to not set foot in Alabama," said Lyon, a Pelham lawyer. "Anybody that breaks into my home is a threat to my life. I remember the Alamo."
Spearman called Lyon's proposal ridiculous and unconstitutional.
"I think you get some candidates who want to get name (recognition) by issuing outlandish statements sometimes," he said.
Darby, though, said he would support Lyon in his election bid.
"If he's willing to have public hangings of Mexicans, that sounds like he's the right man for the job," Darby said.
Err. Wow. But, the fun doesn't stop there! Oh no. These guys have other ideas, too. Go read the rest!
