Mr. King isn't running for president. He's just a guy that spoke out for Bush and the job he's doing. Mr. King isn't a threat like j. F'n Kerry, J.Jackass., McLame, and on and on...

Mr. King isn't a threat

Tell that to the families of the men he killed.

[spunkets]

" Tell that to the families of the men he killed."

The first was a bad guy trying to rob him and the second was manslaughter during an argument over debts.

[sharktrager]

I am well aware of that.

I would say beating a man to death because he owes you money is a pretty good indicator of what kind of man he is, unless we have clear evidence that he has changed in the interim, which we don't.

[EQAndyBuzz]

"You seriously want a convicted killer to speak on our behalf for the next 2 months?"

Well Kerry says he killed and he is running for President. Ok, ok.. I am not praising Don King. He is however not in jail, runs a business and understands what is good for America at this time.

Would I give him money to invest for me? Probably not.

"I would say beating a man to death because he owes you money is a pretty good indicator of what kind of man he is, unless we have clear evidence that he has changed in the interim, which we don't."

Yeah, 1965. The fact is that the guy knew who he was dealing with and refused to pay up. No one forced him to deal with him, or engage in that little underworld. Those other folks I mentioned use force under the color of law and will kill you if you don't obey them. They are far more vicious and dangerous than Mr. King ever was, or ever desired to be.

[sharktrager]

OK...let's get even more recent to get an idea where he stands, and more relevant to the issue of King the Republican.

King donated to 3 Presidential candidates this cycle: Daschle, Mosley Braun and Bush. In the past he was a huge supporter of Bill Clinton (although generally with other people's money)

Now, do you REALLY think he is doing what he is doing for the good of America? King is supporting Bush because he will win, plain and simple.

[spunkets]

" Now, do you REALLY think he is doing what he is doing for the good of America? "

I don't care why he's doing it. He said something nice about president Bush and the Rs, and is promoting his reelection. That's what matters here.

I don't know how to tranfer you to the thread.
But look at the thread about Brittany Spears singing at the RNC.
Some of them have the same idea you or I have.

While I don't embrace him. I do accept his alliegence to vote for our party. It's a vote. Nothing else.

He is not the face of conservatism. And who thinks that?

We are a political party. If he wants to vote our way, what in the world do you suggest doing to stop him?
And why would you want to?
I'm sorry. But I do not understand your viewpoint.

He does not represent what I believe.
But neither do a lot of other people that vote in our party.
Look at the Log Cabin Republicans........I certainly don't agree with them either. But I'm not going to stop voting
Republican, because of them. And what about the pro-abortion Republicans? Do you not want their votes either?

I just want you to see the inevitable destination we will get to, if we don't want certain folks talking on TV about supporting the Republican ticket!
We would end up with the dims in charge, if we do not allow these people to exercise their right to vote for their choice.
And I do not want that!!!!

Burger King is more coherent than Don King.

[sharktrager]

He also said "We can go back to being Democrats the next election."

BTTT

[spunkets]

The next election isn't here yet.
