Socialists: Give apes human rights

Apr 25, 2006 10:59AM PDT
LINK

The Spanish Socialist Party will introduce a bill in the Congress of Deputies calling for "the immediate inclusion of (simians) in the category of persons, and that they be given the moral and legal protection that currently are only enjoyed by human beings."

Not too surprising when you think about it.

Spain doesn't have democrats and republicans. It is a system that involves many more parties than the American. Franco is gone whether you like it or not!

counting on a "monkey's vote" in this sub-thread--party affiliation is, as demonstrated by the DNC over the last many decades.

Do you need a "program" to track these conversations?

Link to what?
Apr 25, 2006 10:12PM PDT

You want a link to Democrats using cigarettes to bribe homeless people to vote for them or a link to Democrats registering illegals? Or a link to Democrats bussing ******** people to polling places and telling them how to vote? Or a link to Democrats registeriung dead people?

There are so many possibilities, aren't there?

How do you link to that?

It's my opinion. Do you deny that Democrats try to register every person dead or alive, qualified or not, citizen or non that might vote their way? It's a long history.

Well
Apr 26, 2006 12:22AM PDT

you DO make a statement by writing ""Exactly the opposite" (meaning that monkeys would vote Republican and meaning that you probably support the Spanish Socialists on this matter). All I did was asking for a backup for your statement.

No...

I was disagreeing with Dave's assertion that apes sre smart enough not to vote Republican.They are apes. Not smart enough to make such judgements; in other words, the perfect Democratic voters.

I don't give a toot what idiot Spanish Socialists do. They are clearly not entirely sane.

Well == deep subject and you are floundering
Apr 26, 2006 5:16AM PDT

Track back to DK's post and you should see that no support of Socialists has even been remotely hinted at as you seem to have erroneously assumed--just an observation by some of us that simians are most likely more intelligent and thus would likely vote more intelligently than the average Democrat.

If you can't grasp that, a banana may fit the curvature better.

Hang on, Ed...
Apr 26, 2006 2:24AM PDT

Hang on, Ed, I'm about to regster to vote here and I'm curious to see if an unusual situation develops. My father passed on a while back and was registered to vote. I now live in the same house in which he lived and have the identical name.
If when I try register I am told that that name at that address is already registered, I'm going to ask an interesting question, "When was the last time that name/address voted?".
