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 :/
