Kevorkian to run for office

I thought this guy was dead. So how 'bout it, would you vote this guy for office? I think most don't feel he is necessarily a bad guy, it's just a weird subject that seems impossible to pick a stance on.

What does everyone else think?

One thing we know about Jack is that he's always fought the power. That's a good thing I guess.

Is it even possible to use smear tactics against this guy anymore??

Peace

I don't think it is, Dr Love.

I just couldn't believe the story when I saw it and had to post it. You gotta give this guy credit for never giving up.

"Fine, charge me for it! When I get out of jail, I'll just get into politics and change it!"

I posted this in another thread, same topic. Thread closed. So reposting here.

So is your issue him running for congress, or that he does assisted suicides or both?
Going out on a limb here and for those who wish to attack my post , go for it.
I do support assisted suicide.
I find it completely ridiculous that we see animals as beneath us but will put them to death to keep them from suffering, but will not show the same compassion to our fellow man in the time of fatal illness when there is no hope of recovery.
Ask anyone who has had a loved one die in pain after suffering at length when no medication brought relief. It is gut wrenching to see someone you love go through that.
Why is it that it is not acceptable for someone to make their own decision to die? Because it says so in the bible?
Because they are condemned to be born again?Reincarnate again and learn the lessons they did not in this life?
Would it be a pain free life? Of course not. No life is pain free. Physically or emotionally. But every man and woman should have the right to choose how they die as they do how they live.
As for Dr. Death running for congress...
Considering his criminal record and lack of popularity...you would think he would have the brains to know better. I see this as a publicity stunt and nothing more.

I can see the headlines now...

"Congressman Death (Formerly Dr. Death) found in Hotel room with dead prostitute."


(Joke! Not an ACTUAL news quote)



Seriously, though. Is a convicted felon allowed to run for public office? I know who he's not going to vote for, that's for sure.

Funny Cuhail...
I had the same question...How can he run with a criminal record?

I wonder what is his stance on capital punishment. Hmmmm?

Besides, if he's allowed to run, he couldn't possibly have more unexplained/coincidental/mysterious deaths surrounding him than Clinton did.

Not sure I'd vote for him but I might be willing to hire him if I ever get a really unpleasant diagnosis.
