Old Nov 4th, 2003, 10:17 AM        Felons Legally Run for President
I really don't understand how in most states a felon cannot
vote yet felons can run for president. of course that would
mean that george w wouldnt be able to run so maybe it does
make sense. then again GW's record has been wiped pretty
clean by some shady erasures.

I happen to believe these guys running for pres are innocent by
reason of self defence but they are legally on the ballot as 'murderers'

http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.j...toryID=3750000

if they let felons run they should let felons who are out of prison and off probation VOTE damnit..
denying this basic right of citizenship after release is cruel and from my perspective makes rehabilitation less likely.
oh well, i don't think the goal really is rehabilitation anyway :/

does the fact that a majority of convicts would probably vote liberal have anything to do with this?

That was an uncharacteristically dumb comment. Unless I didn't get it.

Ranx, it's certainly ironic, but right now it really isn't an issue on my radar. There are too many other pressing things to keep track of.

Clinton was convicted guilty on Federal charges. He was our first convict to entire the White House. Who gives a fuck, get over it, and get busy on something you can change.

i give a fuck or two and will keep asking questions till i stop breathing.

clinton had the nickname slick willy for many reasons.. i campaigned for his opponents in a couple elections.. don't think for a second that because im anti-GW means that somehow i'm pro-slick willy.

I realize that brother, I was simply saying that there existed precedent for such ilk to make the run for Presidency, I wasn't attemping to imply you were being hypocritical in the least.

I just see it as a moot point, Mumia Abu Jamal was reqarded as quite the martyr in Hawaii, Refuse and Resist holding many benefits to try and raise money for his court fees -though I confess I know little about his trial, arraignment or precedings save that he claims to have been framed- but in any case, I still don't think there is much you or I can do about it regardless of whether or not we see their claims as legitimate, save but to vote against them

"No suprises here."
-Vinth

Say, that's catchy! If you ever start up a web site of your own, it could be the subtitle. I'd been think "Telling it like it is" should come right after Catholic Samurai, but "No suprises here." has more of ring to it.

I think he should start a website of his own. I'm certain it would be a great site, and he'd put a lot of care and upkeep into it. I mean, it's not like he's a quitter or lazy. Sure in the early days people would give him shit about how low his traffic was, but he'd come right back and say "Just you wait, man, I'm a well spoken guy and my web site will grow to boot! I'll get all kinds of great writers and my board will be real busy becuase I'm the kind of guy who follows through on... follows... Ah, screw this sentence, I'm depressed."

200 bucks and you can have my web site. Wire it to my pay pal account. If you want it so bad, you can buy it from me.
