It’s a done deal. But he’s too strong. He’s still solidly in the green.

Not to say that I think all things that are felonies should remain so.

There is no such thing as a “minor” felony. That’s called a misdemeanor. Things are felonies for a reason.

Are you saying Mike Vick is a minor felon?
He ran a criminal enterprise for SIX YEARS. He violated bail (illegal drug use!). He didn’t cooperate with the feds as per plea agreement. He failed a lie detector test. His bankruptcy filing was a blatant attempt to keep from paying his creditors by making all his friends and family rich instead.

Dude is no minor felon. He’s a mess.

No one may take you seriously anyway. Depending on what you say.
By the way, your pretend last name wouldn’t be “Doe” would it?

That’s assuming that Icky would remain nonplussed.

Oh wait, Isarus is always nonplussed.

You should use your real name. Otherwise no one will take you seriously.

I am a different Jane. In fact Jane is not my real name anyway.

How do you think Joe Kennedy became the first head of the Securities and Exchange Commission?

I’m amazed that people discriminate against minor felons [those that spend less than 5 and haven't murdered someone].
Think what you could learn from Bernie Madoff and others of a lesser stature.
I know a few businesses that hire ex felons [ mostly drugs and stock market fraudsters] almost exclusively and these people turn out fine much better than the typical young ignorant HS grad.

Who better to watch the crooks than a reformed ex crook!

Yeah, it’s too bad that Vick signed with the Eagles or he would have been a great candidate for the Dems. Even Icky might support him since he wasn’t charged with killing any imaginary dogs.

Obviously felons have not studied their right run and to be elected even while serving in prison.
