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:<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Both agree the influx of illegal immigration into Alabama must be stopped, either through public hangings or martial law.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
\"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.\"<\/p>\n
Spearman called Lyon's proposal ridiculous and unconstitutional.<\/p>\n
\"I think you get some candidates who want to get name (recognition) by issuing outlandish statements sometimes,\" he said.<\/p>\n
Darby, though, said he would support Lyon in his election bid.<\/p>\n
\"If he's willing to have public hangings of Mexicans, that sounds like he's the right man for the job,\" Darby said.\n<\/ul>\n
Err. Wow. But, the fun doesn't stop there! Oh no. These guys have other<\/i> ideas, too. Go read the rest!<\/a><\/p>\n
