Paging Dr. Death: Kevorkian planning House run

Speaking of attention-seeking lunatics, I hear rumors that Alan Keyes is bolting from the GOP and plans a third party run at the White House.

Why does the government need to get involved when there are two consenting adults and there are no victims?

Cheryl, that would be awesome if Keyes ran as independent. It's already a 3-ring circus, so why not add another clown, huh? :-)

Good for Kevorkian. It's interesting how the prosecutor tries to marginalize him. I guess the prosecutor has something in common with Kevorkian they both like the lime light.

Ron Paul was the best candidate for America. It's too bad the sheeple couldn't see the direct benefit he would bring to America. Shame on the Prosecutor, for discounting Paul. With 9 billion people straining the planet resources. I don't know why everyone is so against Kevorkian's policies?

Mr. Kevorkian's resolution to run for elected office is nothing more than a continuation of his sincere agenda to advance human rights in a society that attempts more and more to control every decision of its own people.

What I find interesting is that, apparently, a convicted felon can qualify to serve in the U.S. Congress. In many states they can't even vote, obtain professional licenses, etc. Travel out of the country is restricted. Maybe if we tightened up standards we wouldn't have so many bums "serving" us in D.C.

As I've written on my blog, I wonder whether or not the media will treat Kevorkian as a real candidate or as a sideshow.

For one thing, Kevorkian's lawyer claimed - several years in a row - that Kevorkian had "less than a year to live." Seems that Michigan voters have a right to know whether or not Kevorkian will live out the term of office. If his doctor says he can, then Kevorkian has to answer why his lawyer apparently misrepresented his health status while arguing for his early release from prison.

"If you're dying for change, vote Kevorkian."

I thought this nut died years ago!

Even I know that "government sponsored death for anybody" is a miserable campaign platform. I challenge Jack K to a debate....

This answer is for "Alan". Alan, fortunately the rules cannot be changed for Dr. Kevorkian and for any other U.S. Citizen.
The U.S. Constitution is very clear on this subject: He has not only a Right to run for Congress without limitations but he can also run to be the President of the United States of America.
Perhaps, I should add,to "your dismay" that our founding fathers had more wisdom than the present rulers of this Country. It's in the Constitution and cannot be changed by Statutes.
And when it comes to what you say "Felon", pay attention because if you, by misfortune happen to give a bum check, or shoplift or underpay your taxes,just to mention a few, you might have that title of "felon" which is a colonial relic from the British,totally unacceptable in a Republic where the ultimate authority rests in the people and not in our elected dictators.

The article is wrong in one respect. There is only one Democrat running in Michigan's 9th District:

Gary Peters, a successful former State Senator and Michigan Lottery Commissioner, has drawn the enthusiastic support of the national Democratic party and is one of the DCCC's "Red-to-Blue" candidates.

Nancy Skinner, who ran against Knollenberg in '06, started a campaign but dropped out and endorsed Peters in late February.

In general terms, I support assisted suicide, just as in general terms I support abortion on demand.

I am an attorney who happened to be in court (on another case) during Kevorkian's trial. Perhaps a better harbinger for such an important issue was warranted: Kevorkian is a small, frail, self-promoting weasel-looking person who had a history of trying to draw attention to himself, including by trying to sell his artwork, which was extremely bloody and violent. People stayed away from him.

The dems get popular again and all the nuts are coming out. First Al Franken and now this fruitcake. Let the good times roll

"newspaper he is planning to run as an independent in the Michigan’s Ninth District."

Terry,
Please read 'independent'. Not Dem.

Also, I'd vote for Al in a MNYM.

Easily as qualified as Bush was, or Reagan when they first ran for office in TX and CA. Terminator also.

ANd talk about 'nuts', just two names;

Keyes
Paul

OC,

I'll compare Paul's and Keyes remedy for economic ort foriegn policy issues to Dr. Death anyday.

Wonder what Dr. Death's solution to SocSec would be, when you turn 80, come and see me?

Anon,

In what universe did I say I would vote for Death Breath? I said he wasn't a Dem, but an Indy. Terry implied he was a Dem.

Anonymous,

Not to get 'tween you and OldCreaky, but the overwhelming majority of Republic primary voters seem to agree with OC, they are nutty. Paul, of course, a likable nut, Keyes, not so much; more of a 'Grand Inquisitor' type.

Please someone out there, explain how someone who has been convicted of a felony run for public office. I was under the impression that once you were convicted of crime you lost your right to even vote, let alone run for office.

Paul,obviously you haven't read my post above otherwise you would have found the answer to your question.
Please, understand that running for Congress falls under the jurisdiction of our U.S. Constitution. The Constitution gives Kevorkian the right to be a Congressman or .U.S. Senator if he gets more votes than the others. It's as simple is this!
As for State convictions, wheter Felonies or others, times have changed and laws have changed so you will have to refresh the old thinking and realize that people have a right to a second chance dependent on the gravity of the crime committed, when it happend , the different circunstances, whether the crime involved intentional violence and the dimonstrated rehabilitation of the ex-offender.
Almost all the States now with the exception of Virgina, I believe, (there maybe another one), give back the right to Vote and Run for office to all those who have served their sentence or satisfied their probation requiremets.In addition these people can request a Certificate of Good Conduct, or a certificate of relief from Criminal Liabilities or an ouright expungement of their conviction.
This is only for States convictions.
On the federal level we don't have any remedies for obtaining a Cerificate of Good Conduct or Expungement no matter how many years after serving the sentence and or probation.
Only a Presidential Pardon can help but Presidents Pardon only a few of their own friends leaving millions of others with NO recourse.
A new House Bill 623 introduced by Congressman Charles Rangel may remedy this injustice and disparity between the federal and States system but it keeps being stalled in the Judiciary Committee and never gets to the floor for consideration.
Honestly Congress can care less about the people they are supposed to serve!
Those with States conviction can have all their rights restored and will be able to get whatever license they want relatively easy.
After having re-acquired the right to Vote and Run for office which in many States is automatic what is left is petition a Court or the Parole Board to get back the right to seat in a Jury room and that meets the Federal requirement to also be a Police Officer and possess firearms.
In conclusion those convicted under States Laws are in excellent position to have a Second Chance but NOT those with Federal Conviction no matter how minor they are.
The U.S. Constitution only requires a candidate to be U.S. Citizen and has age requirement. and nothing else.

You will learn in time that we don't have a Republic in this Country. People are still oppressed by our Legislators and by the Judiciary.

In closing basically we have in Congress 537 politicians who are imposing their will on 300 millions of Americans, whether we like it or not.

On the State level it's the same.
