A run for office?

[poptart]

This board is fairly political - and has a lot of know-it-alls who waste their time here huffin' and puffin' at anonymous dumbfucks who just don't get it.

Does it help anything?

Why don't you do something constructive?

Sack up, get in the game, and run for office.


Can anyone in here realistically picture that as a possibility?

Or will you just sit tight and wait for anarchy to break loose so you can pick up your gun, blow somebody's brains out, and play Billy White Shoes Johnson over their body?

A lot of you could campaign well - and maybe not fuck things up too badly in office.

For example - I could picture trev in a position.


errr ...

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

Why don't you do something constructive?

...and run for office.

This, coming from the guy that tells us that government isn't the answer and that we should seek answers in scripture?

Are you drunk? Be honest.

[poptart]

I'm contemplating a run.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

Make it at full speed, into a brick wall and you'll have my full endorsement.

[Terry in Crapchester]

I did, a few years back. It didn't work out.

Turns out it was a blessing in disguise, as I've been dealing with some family issues since then. Had I won, I probably would've had to resign the position.

[trev]

We are all poptart and friends and would vote for him.

[poptart]

What did you run for, Terry?

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

What did you run for, Terry?

"His life. You've seen his wife, correct?"


Sincerely, mv

Hope and change! Hope and change!

What did you run for, Terry?

Town Justice.

[Trampis]

I was campaign manager for my best friends run at 9th grade class president. We lost to the hot girl who wore a short skirt to the school assembly where the canidates gave there campaign speeches before the school. My buddy, the class act he was/is, wore a coat and tie.

Lesson learned.

[Political Operative]

I'm contemplating a run.

Not sure if he posts here, but I believe that Fixer was an elected official somewhere in Canada, and he may run again for something. If he thinks it will help him stalk talk with that Chinese curler, then he'll definitely run again.

Been there, done that. If you want to know more, PM me...

As a government official, he clearly endorsed a particular religion, in no uncertain terms.

Unfit for office, since he apparently hasn't read the Constitution, and should be immediately impeached.

I assume you ran as a Dem in your hometown?

Pretty much explains why you lost.

I have never run for office, but I have worked on more campaigns than I care to remember. I can think of nothing more revolting than the thought of being a candidate for political office, especially running for town board or a village council. The wear and tear that campaigning puts on a candidate is brutal. Especially when you consider that candidates for most small town offices have to work a regular job in addition to whatever small salary they might draw as an elected official.

[Screw_Michigan]

PO is NOT Otis and IS cool - just an FYI

I know. He's that sick fuck named Fixer from tards.net with a wife and kids that travels across Canada stalking some unfortunate Chinese curler. Have you ever seen his threads? If she (the curler) knew he was doing this, she'd have him arrested. If his wife knew he was doing this, she'd divorce his mentally ill ass.

See for yourself:

Holy fuck!


I'm smelling the greatest trolljob in history... or one demented motherfucker, not sure which.


Why couldn't he have set his sights on LTS? That would have been perfect.

[Dinsdale]

This guy has identified a goal, and with steadfast focus, he is taking steps to achieve it.

RACK!

Last I checked, just being stupid isn't a violation of the Constitution.

[Dinsdale]

But it does prohibit the establishment of religion, and it's accepted that "official endorsements" are a step toward establishment.

[BSmack]

I had no idea Notah Begay also stalked teenage Chinese curlers. No wonder his game has been off for so long.

[Dinsdale]

Then again, maybe dude just really digs curling -- to each their own.

[poptart]

But it does prohibit the establishment of religion, and it's accepted that "official endorsements" are a step toward establishment.

A lot of things these days are "accepted" to be a violation of the first amendment.

It's gone WAY out of control.


This guy has in no way violated the constitution.

Poor judgement?

Oh yes.

Actually, it's even more elemental than that. I lost in the primary, so can't blame that one on party affiliation. I lost to the former Chief of Police, who has lived here all his life.

Most people who live here have had families who've lived in this town for 3-4 generations, at least. I've lived here for 13 years, which makes me the newest addition to the town over the age of 13.

A good old boys' network here, to be sure. Tough for an outsider to crack.

[Mace]

Last I checked, just being stupid isn't a violation of the Constitution.

You should give consideration to that being your campaign slogan.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

This guy has identified a goal, and with steadfast focus, he is taking steps to achieve it. He may or may not succeed, but damnit, he is trying. Rack him.

So let me get this straight. You're racking a dude whose goal you presume is to leave his wife and kids for some chick he's been stalking who happens to look like a 9 year old boy? I'm not the morality police, but that ain't exactly high on my list of rackable pursuits.

How many of you sad fucks work in some bullshit job that you really hate, or are staying with your wife even though she doesn't like you and you don't like her?

:?

That's a fair question, one that I'd need more time than I care to spend answering.

so suffice to say... go fuck yourself. You don't have a better alternative and even if you did, you'd abort it.

[War Wagon]

here we go again, defining what a person is... or is not.

Cute pictures.

Go ahead and post one from the 3rd trimester and tell me that isn't a person.

Or don't. I know where you stand, you know where I stand.

Nobody can win this debate in this forum, but at the end of the day, I'll be able to sleep a bit better knowing that I was not an advocate for murdering the defenseless.

Sleep well, Jsc. That shouldn't be a problem knowing the arm length list of pain scripts you own.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

So no, you won't sleep better than I will.

Half empty bottle of Jim Beam says you're wrong.

[poptart]

I'll be able to sleep a bit better

You won't sleep better than I will.

A new twist on IKYABWAI.

[War Wagon]

Yes, my then girlfriend got pregnant in college. She was on the pill. Neither of us were ready to be parents. She got an abortion. She earned her PhD, I became a lawyer, we got married and had 2 children.

I like how you mitigate the circumstance by stating she was on the pill, as if to say, we didn't plan this. Oops, tough shit, counselor. Your fuck up doesn't excuse the murder of an unborn child because you weren't 'ready to be parents'. Guess what? Most aren't, but they go thru with it anyway because it's the right thing to do.

Oh, but you had two children later, so that excuses the murder of what should've been your firstborn, right? Right?

Do you ever wonder what that child might have become in your peaceful slumber? Of course you don't, because you're a selfish prick.

And now you advocate murder trying to justify the actions you're guilty of.

Until now you've written about rape, incest, and genetic disorders being just cause for abortions. Now the truth comes out. You murdered your unborn healthy child.

No, you won't sleep well even if you swallow a whole bottle of Oxycodone.

[War Wagon]

No justification is necessary.

You've posted reams in here about this subject and others I want to punch you in the face for. You damn sure better justify it.

That's what we wanted. That's what we did.

Yeah, noted. You're a selfish prick.

Stay the FUCK out of our medical decisions, and we'll stay the FUCK out of yours.

Do what you want, but post your bullshit up in this paint, I will reject it like Hakeem Olajuwan.

Sleep well.

I'll try.

[Diego in Seattle]

No justification is necessary.

You've posted reams in here about this subject and others I want to punch you in the face for. You damn sure better justify it.

Done any walking on water lately? Unless you have, just STFU. Who do you think you are?

It's attitudes like yours that makes many of us want to return to the practice of feeding you thumpers to the lions.

Yet you conservatives claim that you want less government in your lives....sure you do.

[BSmack]

You damn sure better justify it.

How about trying to justify forcing a woman to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term? Have you ever really thought about that? How exactly would you go about doing that, and why would you want to?

Where are you coming from? Is it a Bible-based morality, or what?

It's half bible and half Bud Light.

[poptart]

One way to solve the abortion dilemma might be to make it 100% legal - with one small caveat.

If mother wants to terminate the life of the unborn, she will herself be terminated at the same time.
































:wink:

[Diego in Seattle]

That's hilarious, Phelpstart......not really.

If one of the arguments against making abortions illegal is that it'll create more "back alley" abortion clinics, how do you explain this:

At filthy clinic, babies met an inhumane end, grand jury says
By DANA DiFILIPPO
Philadelphia Daily News

difilid@phillynews.com 215-854-5934

IN HIS SQUALID West Philadelphia abortion clinic, Kermit Gosnell had a surefire way of dealing with the unwelcome complication of a live birth: He'd allegedly plunge scissors into the squirming newborn's neck, killing it by severing the spinal cord.

Sometimes, the elderly physician didn't do this right away. Often, he allegedly gave the chore to his unlicensed office staff. One premature infant wiggled around on a counter for 20 minutes before an untrained worker slit his neck - after first playing with him.

Those allegations were among countless bombshells in a 261-page grand-jury report that District Attorney Seth Williams released yesterday.

Gosnell killed "hundreds" of babies and at least two women during abortions from 1979 to last year at his Women's Medical Society at 38th Street and Lancaster Avenue, according to the grand jury. Further, he and his unlicensed, unskilled staff overdosed patients with drugs, perforated their wombs and bowels, and spread venereal disease by using unsterilized equipment, the report said.

And although red flags mounted about wrongdoing at the clinic, those with the capacity to stop the carnage, such as the Pennsylvania Department of Health and Department of State, looked the other way, Williams charged.

Gosnell, 69, and nine of his staffers were arrested yesterday morning on charges including murder, infanticide and abuse of a corpse.

Williams said he might seek the death penalty for Gosnell in the murders of seven babies born alive and then killed.

"My comprehension of the English language doesn't and cannot adequately describe the barbaric nature of Dr. Gosnell and the ghoulish manner in which he 'trained' the unlicensed, uneducated individuals who worked there," Williams said.

The atrocities were discovered by accident.

Police last February raided Gosnell's offices after reports that he ran a "pill mill" there, giving out prescription medications to anyone who would pay.

Once inside the three-story brick building, they discovered horrors that would haunt them forever.

Semiconscious, moaning women sat in dirty recliners and on bloodstained blankets. The air reeked of urine from the flea-infested cats permitted to roam the clinic. There was blood on the floor and cat feces on the stairs. One investigator likened the scene to "a bad gas-station restroom."

In the patient areas, equipment was rusty, dirty and broken. Paramedics who were called to remove the patients during the police raid had trouble getting them out because clutter blocked the hallways and the emergency exit was padlocked shut.

But even worse horrors were hidden in the basement and staff-only areas.

Detectives found a row of jars containing just the severed feet of fetuses. Fetal remains filled bags, milk jugs, orange-juice cartons and even cat-food containers; some were stored in a refrigerator where staffers chilled their lunches. In all, authorities found the remains of 45 fetuses in this "baby charnel house" and gave them to the medical examiner, who determined that at least two of them had been born alive, according to the grand-jury report.

The scene was so filthy that grand jurors, visiting the clinic months later, wore hazardous-materials suits, Williams said.

Investigators soon developed a picture of a practice that preyed on poor, ill-informed women desperate to get illegal late-term abortions.

Pennsylvania law prohibits abortions past 24 weeks. Many doctors won't perform them past 20 weeks because of the risks.

But Gosnell would allegedly take any patient, no matter how far along. He fudged state-mandated ultrasound reports to mask abortions done after 24 weeks, according to the grand-jury report.

The bigger the baby, the more he charged; his fees ranged from $325 to $3,000 per abortion, Williams said. Anesthesia was additional, although he and his staffers would "sedate to stupor" patients who screamed or moaned too loudly, according to the report. Investigators estimated that Gosnell's salary for one year was $1.8 million.

Because late-term abortions are complicated, Gosnell and his staffers induced labor, which resulted in "scores" of live births that led to the gruesome "snippings" of their spinal cords, the grand jury found.

Although this allegedly occurred routinely, investigators could document the cases of only seven viable newborns killed in Gosnell's clinic. That's because Gosnell routinely destroyed his files, according to the grand-jury report.

In one case, a staffer told grand jurors, Gosnell joked that the aborted baby was so big he could "walk me to the bus stop." On Sundays, Gosnell, with the aid of his wife, Pearl, performed abortions that promised to be particularly complicated because the office was closed with no office staff, according to the report. He then took the records home and destroyed them, the report said.

Gosnell ignored other requirements of state abortion law, too, such as providing abortion counseling, obtaining parental or judicial consent for minors, and waiting 24 hours after a patient's first visit before performing an abortion, according to the grand jury.

Within days of the February raid, state officials yanked Gosnell's medical license. The clinic was shuttered immediately.

Those moves were decades overdue, D.A. Williams charged. "There's more oversight for women's hair salons than for abortion clinics in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania," he said.

An attorney for Gosnell could not be reached last night, but in an exclusive interview with the Daily News after his office was raided last year, Gosnell insisted that he was helping an underserved neighborhood and running a proper clinic.

"I feel in the long term, I will be vindicated," he said.

Grand jurors blamed racism and politics for inaction.

"We think the reason no one acted is because the women in question were poor and of color, because the victims were infants without identities, and because the subject was the political football of abortion," the grand-jury report stated.

Gosnell was charged with infanticide in the deaths of seven viable infants and with murder in the Nov. 20, 2009, death of Karnamaya Mongar, 41, a Nepalese refugee who died of too much anesthesia at Gosnell's clinic. Other charges against Gosnell include conspiracy, solicitation to commit murder, abuse of a corpse, corrupt organizations, corruption of minors, drug offenses, hindering prosecution and violations of abortion law.
