Chelsea Manning, the former US intelligence analyst who was jailed for leaking classified documents, is seeking the Democratic Party nomination to run for the US senate in Maryland. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42679005 |

Yes. Most of our politicians are criminals. |

Can convicted felons be senators? I'm curious... how many votes could I get? |

A convicted felon could also be President. Odd that you wouldn't be allowed to have a .22 plinking rifle, but could have the codes for nuclear weapons. |

The felony conviction isn't an issue. "Chelsea" received a pardon from Obama. Instead of a pardon, he should have been hung for treason! |

Has America gone totally crazy!? Unbelievable. Maybe the world is flat and maybe pigs can fly, I don't know anymore. Thank goodness my dad and his generation never had to see this outrageous crap. God help us. |

Doesn’t an espionage act conviction mean that you can never hold public office? Will he be trusted with classified information again? Does a pardon wipe all that? |

You can only vote multiple times if you're a Democrat. |

Manning (He-She-It, Sheeeit!) had his sentence commuted to 7 years served out of (I believe) 30. He is still a convicted felon |

Obama wouldn't have been given a security clearance or hired for a job requiring one if he wasn't elected. He still shouldn't have been allowed access, or hired, IMHO. |

It's an odd thing about the President. He/she is automatically assumed to have security clearance, regardless of his/her background. I think this may have been an oversight on the part of our founders. Then again, it's kind of like the warning sticker telling me to not stick my hand into the auger of my snowblower. |

This is a test of the Dems professed embracing of transgenders. This person is not the poster child they wanted. If it weren't for having his/her sentence commuted, Manning would still be in prison instead of an embarrassment to the party (how does anyone oppose Manning and not be called a bigot, homophobe or other pejorative?). Now the Dems can say, "Thanks, Obama". |
