Democrats Meet Alvin M. Greene Can't Make This Up
 

This is just too funny the guy had no money, no cell phone, and no computer and beat out SC 4 term senator. You just cannot make this stuff up. Didn't someone say the Rep. party was done?

Re: Democrats Meet Alvin M. Greene Can't Make This Up
 

I am glad you put this on here. Basically, this is corruption at it's best. Holding a charge over a man';=s head and then causing him to humiliate himself. Doing this to display power? or ignorance? Hopefully this gets exposed. How you gonna enslave someone because they are facing a charge you can drop if he does as you wish? Is that legal? I don't think so. I'm from dysfunctional South Carolina. They want office just to have office. Tt's waht happens when taxes are cut and the rich takeover. Back in time we go.

It's obvious the only reason he ran was because he was forced to. Someone in giovernment is uinsg the chargege to force him to do it. What does that amount to? Start with Lott.

Now I get what your saying. Even if a Rep. got him to run people still had to vote for the man. LOL

Re: Democrats Meet Alvin M. Greene Can't Make This Up
 

jtf, sometimes, I don't even begin to get what you are saying. How is anyone enslaving him? How does this relate to tax cuts and the rich? And how is it back in time? to when?

Re: Democrats Meet Alvin M. Greene Can't Make This Up
 

The whole thing smells mad fishy. So basically politics as usual. Nothing surprises me anymore.

Scenario:

You facing 5 years boy!!! I might can get your sentence ligtened up a bit while me and the boys get a big ole laugh at the liberals. Run for senate, but sir I don't want to. You want to go the pen for attempted rape. Do it boy do it, Toby! If you saw the interview where someone was standing off camera and he had to wait for that person to tell him what to say after every question. He looked scared. I would be scared too. Facing 5 years knowing the jury they select will be lily white, and you gonna be getting the max. He trying to stay outta jail.

but,
a) he is not facing attempted rape - the charge is showing porn to a college student...
b) he won, beating a 4 term incumbent, so obviously there was some support
c) do you have ANY support for your accusation?
d) I still don't see how this becomes like days past. are you saying that blacks have been put up as straw puppets and won the opposing party's nomination in the past?

[quote=joethiesmanfan;705960]....Facing 5 years knowing the jury they select will be lily white, and you gonna be getting the max. He trying to stay outta jail.[/quote]Nice scenario, now we return to reality and 2010.

If this guy wound up with a "lily white" jury in Manning, SC (35% white) or Columbia, SC (49% white), depending on the jurisdiction for the charge, then his attorney should be prosecuted. There would be plenty of justification to declare a mistrial or an appeal would certainly win.

Do you understand how juries are selected in a criminal trial?

[URL="http://www.judicial.state.sc.us/jurorinfo/jurorSelection.cfm"]SC Judicial Department[/URL]

You're scenario is also making the assumption that even if the jury was "lily white", a white person is going to automatically convict a black person because of racism. I don't live in SC but I do work with the some of the Navy civilians in the Charleston area (the folks I work with down there happen to be white) and none appear to be racists. I find that premise of your scenario to be offensive and racist.

I have several friends who go by boat and we will probably go out in our boat and raft up with them but probably come home before dark. It becomes a made house out on the water and I don't want to have my 3 yr. old out there with all the drunks.

Got to pay the bills. Do you guys deliver or is it only eat in?

The past Harborfest when I'm out in the boat after dark I have a person watching either side and one person looking back to make sure someone does not run up on us. Its bad enough people don't know how to drive a boat then throw in beer and its even worse.

We deliver, but only in about a 2 mi. or so radius of the VB City Center.

Wait this one out you will see. I know that state. Lindsay Graham is the exception not the rule. U get himmed up by a local solicitor no telling what might happen. SC aint your average conservatives. Trust me that charge is related to him running.

Don't assume they are smart. The state treasure got caught with a half a kilo of cocaine. The governor in Argentina. This is gonna turn out to be some stupid shit that backfires on them.
