Tee Barkdull is running for President. One thing strikes me as an immediate positive, which is that his name tells it all. The guy is dull as a piece of bark.
That is, unless he's either on one of his misogynistic rants, or planning to take complete control over the United States. Then, he becomes quite a colorful character.
I ran across Tee on the politicsone blog, where he posts regularly in the reader comments. I honestly didn't pay much attention to Tee, until after the Jacqueline Passey blog entry about the Nevada LP debates. Someone suggested he contact Ms. Passey, and he posted a rather bizarre comment on her blog. When she and her blog readers reacted negatively, he called her a "jack ass", a "witch", a "female dog", and a "bimbo".
When confronted about his behavior, Tee at first just generally freaked out. Eventually he tried to save face by saying he calls anybody those same names, if they say what he claims Ms. Passey said (which, incidentally, no one has ever seen; he claims it occurred in email, but never posted the exchange despite having threatened to do so, and despite requests that he do so).
The funny thing is, Tee didn't differentiate between calling men and women those names. I'd really like to see how a man would react to being called a "bimbo" - or any of those other names - by an obvious loudmouthed bully like Barkdull. But, I digress.
It got really funny when Mr. Presidential Candidate asked the blog owner, 16-year-old Daniel, to help him stop people from picking on him. The funny thing is, no one was picking on him. They were asking legitimate questions about his odd behavior, and he was responding with highly intelligent comments like "shut your pie hole".
Based on Tee's behavior, I decided to look into him a little bit closer. Here are his qualifications for the presidency: He served in the military. He .... well, that's about it. His platform is pretty weird too. In fact, that's what started this whole debacle. He posted on Passey's blog that he wanted to wrest all power from Congress. In other words, like Gene Chapman, Tee also wants to be a Dictator, but he's surprised when the normals think he's nuts.
However, I can say one more positive thing about Tee, which is that he's not running for the LP nomination (he started his own party). The last thing the LP needs is yet another frickin' 'tard embarrassing us all by running for President.

WOW....Please don't scream...but I am standing up, because I am the real Louise E. Barkdull, and am very much still alive, LOL. I am Tee Barkdull's EX-wife.
He told me about how he was running for President, so, while using my roommate's computer, I decided to look him up.
I came across the thread from April, this year, on the Last Free Voice. I must admit, I am still in shock.
Sorry, but I just had to let everyone know, "I'm ALIVE", before my son and grandkids find out that my demise may prevent me from going to the Speedway with them on Saturday, ROFL.
I actually have a couple of questions for you, if you have an email I can send them to, I would appreciate it. If you do not feel comfortable communicating with another "Barkdull", I totally understand, LOL. They were general curiosity questions anyway.
Thank you for your time and have a good evening.
Hiya, Lisbeth - glad to see you're among the world of the living. LOL
As I'm sure you are aware since you've already done your homework, Tee threatened my entire family and is known to regularly pretend to be other people. So I'm not real keen on giving out my email address or other identifying information when it comes to anything involving him, as I'm sure you can understand.
However, I'm more than happy to chat. Feel free to contact me via this blog anytime. :-)
I completely understand about threats from him and have no problem with you not giving out your email.
Because you pegged him before, you usually can tell when it is him, from his style of writing...I gotta tell ya, I was blown away when I saw postings from Mrs Barkdull. Not because of another Mrs, but because I had met his girlfriend almost 7 years ago, and she really did not seem the type to get involved in something like that! So I was relieved to see that you pegged him, LOL.
My main question, was how you did your homework and found out about me... I believe you mentioned something about property and 2004. I left Nevada in 2001 and did not return until 2005.
So now, my curiosity is in gear, and I feel the need to do some digging on my own, as he and I divorced in January 2000, and had already sold our property in 1999.
Just want to make sure of what is still out there.
Thanks again!
Hi, again, Lisbeth! To be honest, I don't remember exactly what I looked up on you when Tee claimed you were dead, or where exactly I looked, because it's been so long. I can tell you that I checked property records and marriage records in that county, which is how I found out your name, and then I checked both social security death records and obituaries nationwide to determine that you were, in fact, not dead. :-)
If you don't mind, tell me about Tee. Does he have some kind of mental illness, or a drinking problem, or both? Or is he just the world's biggest jerk / pathological liar? I'm very curious about him, needless to say. I've never run into a guy who'd say he was widowed, and go on and on and on about the death of his wife, ad nauseum, when in fact his wife is an ex-wife, and very much alive and well. That's incredibly, horribly sick and twisted. I guess I don't have to tell you that your ex has some serious problems, though.
What do you think about Tee running for President? Is he actually serious, and does he really think he is the best qualified person even though he has no real qualifications of which to speak?
Do you mind if I write an entry for Last Free Voice about our interaction here? I think it's important that everyone know you're not dead, for obvious reasons, and I think people will find it interesting. If you don't want me to do that, though, I won't. I do realize that you might have to deal with Tee over it if he sees it (although I haven't seen him online since he showed up on Last Free Voice) and I would never place you in that position without your knowledge and consent. :-)
Thank you for the info on what you looked up. Does everyone have access to Social Security Death records?
I understand your curiosity, and wouldn't mind chatting with you about it....but not on a blog at this time..for the obvious reason that you stated in your last paragraph. I would be really hesitant to air that much dirty laundry in such a Public Forum. I don't know how you feel about a chat room or another alternative that you would be ok with?
I am curious too, as to what happened about anyone turning him in for the threats and profanity. I wonder, because when I first read everything and posted here, his website was "temporarily" down. I of course thought it had something to do with that. But it is back up now...so now I am not sure.
As to the entry to the Last Free Voice - at this time, I don't mind you letting them know that I am alive and well, and that I am an EX since 2000. If anyone Googled my name, they would also find me on the earnings list of the 2005 Ladies Event of the World Series of Poker. Hard to collect 18th place winnings when you are dead...LOL. And yes, I was living in Chicago at that time. So there is more proof that I was alive and kicking after my "Untimely demise" LOL.
Let me know your thoughts on how we can chat more.
Thanks again and take care.
A poker champ, huh? That's pretty doggone cool. I actually did see the stuff about the poker championship back when all this was going on with Tee, but I didn't know if it was the same person since the location was nowhere near Vegas.
Do you have a myspace? We can talk privately there if you want.
As for reporting Tee .... I figured that even though he was making a lot of threats, it wasn't worth reporting to law enforcement because he doesn't know where I live.
That's not to say that someone else hasn't reported him, or won't report him for something similar. I can only speak for what I have done (or, in this case, haven't done). :-)
Oops, forgot to answer your question about the Social Security Death Index.
Yes. (LOL)
Seriously, they are online at a number of geneaology sites (just google "social security death index", and additionally the entire Death Master File can be ordered from the Social Security Administration at http://www.ntis.gov/products/ssa-dmf.asp
Obviously, the Master File has to be updated regularly.
It's a nifty little tool, especially for actuaries and genealogy buffs (I'm neither), and comes in quite handy when some freak of nature running for President falsely claims that his wife is dead. ;-)
Let me know when you make a Myspace, if you don't already have one. I'd very much like to talk to you, but I can certainly understand why you wouldn't want to talk here.
Hi there...
I will have more access to the computer over the next week.
I will check out making a Myspace page, so we can chat.
Thank you for the SS Index! I dabble in some geneology, so it will help to piece some things together for my family!
And yes, the poker thing was totally cool!! I moved a few times after Tee and I divorced. I had nothing tying me down, so I had a few adventures! LOL
I look forward to chatting with you sometime this next week!!
Elfnino's mom,
I am an old friend of Louise's. She was actually my boss. (And ya I know Tee....all I can say about all that is WOW!) I was looking to see if I could find some contact info on her and found this. When was the last time you talked to her? Are you still in contact?
Hi, Tallicagrrl. I haven't heard from her since the last time she posted here. Sorry I couldn't help, but maybe she will see your comment and you can get back in touch.
