I wonder when Larry David will sue him for copyright infringement for using the theme music from “Curb Your Enthusiasm”…

The best part is he drives a hummer with the hooters logo on it and his Senate logo… he’s been hitting campus bars trying to draw people in

The contribution part of the page looks pretty legit. It links you to a paypal site. I would assume that if the contribute section was legit, he must be a legit candidate. I doubt you would be able to donate to a fake candidate.

I saw a bumper sticker with his name on it a few days ago. Was wondering if it was an old sticker from another state. Still, I’m sure Al Franken is a much bigger douche.

LOL, this Broom nutjob thinks Wellstone was assassinated!
June 3rd, 2007 at 7:30 am
The “issues” part of his website states that he has dealt with many mental health professionals! Hmmm!!??
June 3rd, 2007 at 9:23 am
I bet this is some college buddy of Robert Fitzgerald, seems kinda like a joke, but hey it’s the Independence Party so he may want to play it out. I’ll have to check it out a little further.

You’ve GOT to visit this clowns website. He’s 1) incredibly arrogant, 2) on drugs and 3) potentially the biggest losers on the political planet.
I’m working on the greatest prescription drug plan in the history of America.
He’s clearly smarter than everyone else. For years the brightest people with vastly more experience in the heathcare industry haven’t figured it out. This clown has The Answer. Uh-huh.
I presently have a plan that will squash 95% of the meth produced in Minnesota
Of course, he doesn’t share it with us. His website is full of statements like this. “Vote for me and you get what’s in The Box” (he wouldn’t want to tell us what this big, secret plan is, would he?). Yeah, and I’ve got a plan for warp drive engines.
His answer to “energy reform”: This issue is actually quite simple: we utilize the wind more.
Yep, this guy running in a third party has all the answers. Wind! (He’s got lots of it on his web site.) Yep, prop up a sail on your car and all your fuel problems are solved.
Love his “global warming” alarmism: We have already done irreversible damage in this area. This one proves he’s just a gullible lefty.
On that all important Rosie/Donald Feud: They are both very funny people. Obviously this guy’s a flake. What serious Senatorial candidate even addresses this issue? Who cares?!? Worse, he thinks Rosie is funny. That proves he’s a loser.
If this guy gets .1% of the vote I’ll be shocked.

I see that he’s attempting to use the loser UMD professor James H. Fetzer who’s been attempting to say that Wellstone was killed. Too bad that this dimwit has absolutely no knowledge on aviation in the fist place has been called a fraud by leading independent aviation experts.
Also Fetzer has what’s called ANOTHER credibility problem.. You can see it here.. http://screwloosechange.blogspot.com/2006/07/professor-fetzer-admits-his-classes.html
This part will not shock you but will be a call to arms for academic reform.
Fetzer.. “To have a course you got to have readings, you got to have a syllabus; you got to have exams, none of that is true of any of my undergraduate courses.”
Well now that we have him on record admitting his classes are academic frauds, it makes his conspiracy theories that much easier to understand.
June 3rd, 2007 at 1:37 pm
BTW Bill O’Reilly exposed Fetzer as a fraud.

“I have dealt with tons of psychologists…some very reputable…”
I’m pretty sure “dealing with” psychologists and getting therapy are two different things. This butthead’s mis-representations have begun already.
I also think it’s funny that he’s got Wild-Wellstone’s Iraq war speech on the site, but his clown music plays louder than the video. If only this guy could have been around to silence Minnesota’s second most embarrassing senator (Dayton wins first prize) back then!
BTW — under T-Paw’s leadership, haven’t we already killed 95 percent of meth production in Minnesota? … and as a Senator in Washington… how is he going to legislate Minnesota policy?
What a dickhead.

Does she pay for ad space? She should given her (ab)use of MDE’s popularity for shameless self-promotion.
June 3rd, 2007 at 4:49 pm
Yeah I didn’t give this nut a good look over. This guy is a complete nut, kind of reminds me of that guy that lost the 2002 nomination for the Independence party Alan Fine or something like that.
June 3rd, 2007 at 5:29 pm
Please, please let there be a debate between this guy and Michael Cavlan who’s running for the Green Party nod. Those two make Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel seem sane…almost.
June 3rd, 2007 at 5:31 pm
One thing is for sure– it ain’t me, or related to me, or from the same universe as me.

I would like to correct the above statement.
Mr. Wellstone IS still the biggest embarrassment to this state! Dayton was a joke no doubt about that but it is just because the Dayton laughs were more recent. Wellstone still takes the cake for being the biggest flake and fake ever to enter MN politics!! Always fun to find a Wellstone sheep out and about and grill them on why they thought he was so great. I have yet to have one give a decent argument for their support.
Wellstone was in it for the money and power and nothing else. You can tell this by his total failure to accomplish anything for the people of his state and not to mention when he stated out he was only going to run two terms and felt everyone else should to. Then when he sees the end coming of those easy large paychecks he decides he needs to run again. 
The guy was a snake oil salesman at best and an outright lair and thief at worst. Could not be happier he is gone from MN politics.

[...] I just received this from James McBroom: In response to the MDE heading Broom or McBroom for U.S. Senate? I will be legally changing my name to James Broom Wellstone in the near future. It looks like Wellstone will beat Norm after all!!! I'm no genius but I'm definetly above the NORM [...]

For those of you who are quick to judge should know your role, you are a voter not one who is voted for. Sounds like jealousy and envy coming from the enemy. Remember what you dont like about other people is just a mirror reflection of what you dont like about yourself so everybody needs help.

check out scott county website. this loser is in jail for rape and drug charges. Just thought you all should know!

I’ve met Jim McBroom. He’s crazy, he always has been. Get him some more meds and don’t vote for him.
January 16th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
THIS GUY IS A TOTAL JOKE! HE IS CRAZY! HE IS IN JAIL RIGHT NOW ON RAPE CHARGES AND SHOULD BE EXILED TO ANOTHER PLANET WHERE HE CAN BE DEGRATED, ANYONE WHO HANGS WITH THIS FREAK SHOULD BE THERE TOO!
March 25th, 2008 at 11:28 am
James Mcbroom or Broom as most people know him is a cancer. All he he does is go around saying stupid things and being freaking insane. When he’s not out rapin and smokin and snorting he’s talking about how he can stop time and catch bullets in his teeth or what he calls teeth. He used to drive around in Hummer that was not his that he painted up all stupid with Hooters logos on it. Yeah that truck got repo’d. Oh and he’s been banned from all hooters. Smart guy . Jail is the best place for him actually. It keeps him safe from everyone that he’s screwed over. By far the dumbest person I’ve ever met. Did he rape a girl?? Probably. If you see him out and about do your best to avoid him a huge shit cloud follows him where ever he goes. This guy has burned every bridge he’s ever had and screwed over everyone he’s ever met. The guy is the bottom of the barrel ,no job ,no money,no house,no car,no license,no future.

Sounds like the right wing crazies that post here are a bit scared!

let it be known that mcbroom was convicted on rape charges and will soon be sentenced.

I have known Broom well for the last 15 years….was roommates with him for a few years within the last 5…know his family well. It is really an opinion but although he has never been what you would consider “sane” he has fallen off the deep end over the last few. He actually defended himself in his rape trial and after talking to him last week he says the prosecutions final offer before the trial was 120 months….now convicted hopefully he gets the full ride…although I am not sure he actually raped anyone he deserves to rot in jail for an eternity….he is a clear cut sociopath with serious delusions of grandeur…he milked investors for over 300k with a “white buffalo pharmacy” scam involving high risk investments…back in the day he was up to no good with credit card scams and armed robberies….believe me I know…I was there. Over the years his mental health has completely deteriorated. I am AMAZED that he was found competent to stand trial much less defend himself…Have literally witnessed him within the last 2 years driving around a stolen car with a sawed off shotgun and that was AFTER the hummer got reposessed…the bottom line is that he is scum slithering around on his belly and the world has been blessed by his demise. Poetic justice times 10. ANYBODY that still has ANYTHING good to say about this scumbag has ALOT to learn. He got EXACTLY what he deserved and the handfull of people that were there for him from day 1 that got stabbed in the back numerous times can all breathe a much deserved sigh of relief. HAHAHAHAHAHA Broom can ROT in jail.
