Right? Five year prison sentence? I've heard of scammers, thieves, abusive parents, hell even child molesters who get off with lighter sentences than that. At the very least if we're going to make vote buying/selling illegal then we should make lobbying a captial offense (which probably wouldn't be a half bad idea).

I dont think theyve gone after real criminals in a while scalywag66 Posted at 11:42 am on July 4, 2008 sounds a little overboard. I mean, it's not like politicians dont buy votes in other ways anyway. scalywag66 Posted at 11:41 am on July 4, 2008 Good to see that the court is spending their time on more serious issues, such as putting child molesters and serial killers in jail... mellx Posted at 9:54 am on July 4, 2008 I don't think he should be fined that much. It was a joke. What the hell. iloveflute Posted at 9:45 am on July 4, 2008 this is just stupid stiicky iicky Posted at 9:43 am on July 4, 2008 I think that's ridiculous. No one even got the vote, so wtf. yazmo Posted at 9:41 am on July 4, 2008 Thats way over the top =/ who cares? he has his right to vote, therefore he should have the right to choose what he does with his vote. circa Posted at 9:36 am on July 4, 2008 Does anybody want to buy my vote for this poll? $10 starting price. BananaPancake Posted at 9:29 am on July 4, 2008 People do the dumbest things on ebay. But, no, I don't think it was necessary to punish him for it. iconoclast Posted at 9:28 am on July 4, 2008 Anyone who says that the punishment is fair should do time in prison. MushroomSatsujin Posted at 9:28 am on July 4, 2008 At this point, none of our votes dont matter anyway. Now, lets say that it did, then yes, its fair. EDIT: DIdnt read it. He shouldnt of gotten a felony but this is still pretty fucked up marshmellowman Posted at 9:27 am on July 4, 2008 Yes, that cunt clearly doesn't care about his country. What a joke. circa Posted at 9:27 am on July 4, 2008 I laughed, but it's sort of sad at the same time, because it really sounds like something I'd do, too. storyofmylife223 Posted at 9:27 am on July 4, 2008 no it was just a harmless joke. it really didn't matter Most recent 15 of 16 previous replies displayed.
