MINNEAPOLIS AP - A college student claimed it was all a joke when he put his vote in this fall's presidential election up for sale on the Web auction site eBay. But prosecutors didn't see the humor.
"We take it very seriously. Fundamentally, we believe it is wrong to sell your vote," said John Aiken, a spokesman for the office. "There are people that have died for this country for our right to vote, and to take something that lightly, to say, 'I can be bought.'
That's right you gutless pricks, go after a college student while every damn member of Congress is not only selling their votes to the highest bidder. Congress has, to date, sold the minds, bodies and souls of 4,100 young Americas to big oil. Have you damn hypocrites charged Bush or anyone in his administration with selling our country's integrity?
It would be most interesting to see how a damn hypocrite like John Aiken would handle it if students and their parents from one end of Minnesota to the other put their votes up for sale. Hell, this guy might even start a trend all across the United States.
Aiken, since you used our troops as fodder, what branch of our military did you serve in? I'm betting you've never had on a uniform. It's usually assholes who haven't served that do the talking. Yeah, I know, you're just doing your job. John is a perfect name for you.
