This unfortunately dows surprise me. It's very disturbing but I'm not shocked.

I would be shocked if 100% of these criminals weren't democratic voters.

 

JP,I'm sure if you put your mind to it,you can come up with a more moronic statement.

 

[Jointpleasure]

Come on Judge,

Give us a percentage you think would be democratic voters. Think about it.

 

I have found that thieves and scum in general cross pretty much all social,political,and economic lines.

 

BTW,having lived in NY,I know most of the homeless aren't registered to vote.

Look at the counties won by Bush and the counties won by Gore in the 2000 election. Compare that with crime rates and I think you'll find they run higher in the Gore counties.

 

Still a gross generalization.

Joint -

Look at the white collar crime in the areas Bush won I bet that is higher

 

[Jointpleasure]

I'll accept that

 

Inner cities usually vote Democratic.Inner cities have higher crime rates.Do you really think that most criminals are politically active,or bother to vote?

 

[Jointpleasure]

Codeworks - now your starting that class warfare stuff again.

Judge,

Unless these folks were prior felons they had just as much right to vote as you or I.
The inner cities seem to be getting out the vote pretty good latley with the free packs of cigarettes that the politically active hand to them. Whether the know which hole to puch or box to check I don't know - but I'm shre there told to look for the name with a D by it.

Joint

My point was a juxtaposition to your crime statement.

 

[radiofreecostarica]

They got ripped off the moment Bush decided to go after the WRONG GUYS!

 

[Jointpleasure]

Codeworks-

Why did it take a Republican president to bring down the Enron's, Global Crossings, etc...

Here's why - Clinton wanted a FALSE economy as this would keep him in office. He didn't choose to go after them.

I think the white collar criminals will line the pockets of anyone who will let them get by with their crimes.

 

JP,I know they have the right to vote,just don't know many crack dealers that exercise that right.

 

JP,I agree on your Clinton point.Why wasn't impeachment seriously considered?Because corporate America was making a shit load of money.

33 were arrest recently including those in shelter and GOVERNMENT EMPLOYESS. A total of 245 have been arrested and not all are homeless.

This of course is a biased report of danrather news probably putting a somewhat ( to bad ) effect on the story.

Better yet why did Enron under GW's watch screw a bunch of his people out hard earn money ?
