    So why was would’ve-been President Debs incarcerated? Did he rig the voting or something?

    Meanwhile the guy who actually WON the election, Warren Harding managed to combine the qualities of some of his successors into one neat, lil’ package.[]He had Bush Jr’s intellect, Bill Clinton’s libido, and Richard Nixon’s honesty

    RE: the first three comments—Socialist Party leader Eugene V. Debs was imprisoned by Woodrow Wilson for opposing the USofA’s entry into “The Great War”. On Xmas Day 1921 Debs was pardoned by Wilson’s successor, Warren Harding, who invited the man formerly known as “Convict 9653” to dinner at the White House. Debs accepted the invitation.

    This was probably THE only worthwhile thing Harding did during his tenure!

    It’s what every good rightwing patriot knows:

    A Republican is innocent ’until proven guilty in a court of law.

    A Demcrat is innocent until proven ACCUSED in the court of public opinion.

    And the Republican is innocent no matter WHAT he does if he, ’accepts Jeezus into his heart. "

    So, the Ancient Romans knew that having raw, red feet would really get a criminals Goat… not to mention getting rid of unsightly callus’ while reducing the risk of escape attempts!Hmmmm , I wonder if we could reinstate that punishment? Nahhh, the ASPCA would probably deem it Cruel and Unusual punishment…For the GOATS.
