The Executive Branch's (ie, the President's) capacity to felonize anyone is precisely why we can't keep felons out of public office. Meanwhile, millions of felons who have paid their debt to society, and more, remain unable to vote.
I hate the fact that so-called leftists are still using the felon thing as a talking point. At least it gives you neo-liberals/neo-cons a way to out yourselves I guess.
Y'all spend so much time on character assassination, and near-zero time distinguishing "leftist" policies, and therefore candidates, from fascist ones. Its pathetic.
Bush W snorted cocaine. Obama smoked pot. Made zero difference their times in office.
