Don't Discount Paul Chehade who is Running for U.S. President. By Geniusofdespair

I always like to look at the lesser known candidates to see what they are saying, to get a beat on the 'real people' candidates. Here is Paul Chehade's views on 2 issues that I found on his website:

Death Penalty: "I believe it should be abolished. The death penalty is unjust - if you’re rich you get away and if you’re poor you’re more likely to be convicted and killed."

Animal Rights: "The animals worked “with us” and “for” us “even worse than slaves”… since “our creation”. They provided us with love, loyalty and friendship… they will even give their lives for us humans. No tractors? … Bulls were there, No milk?... Cows are still there, Feeling lonely and spiritual?.. Cats are there for you… definitely by your side... Your friends...

Very often animals are considered “a thing”… no rules, no rights, no mercy.

There is nowhere in the constitution of our Nation that states that we should provide “animals” the right to life, the right to a descent(sic) environment to live in, the right to survive!

“Owners” should have the right to defend their friends (pets) if someone abuses them… it is a HUMAN RIGHT! Because it affects HUMAN feelings, HUMAN emotions, HUMAN hearts. Animals should have the right to have “rights” and so do you. They suffer, they feel and they need our help… GOD BLESS AMERICA"

Paul, you almost had some support until you opposed a woman's right to choose. You were good on civil liberties, stem cell research, assault weapons and the environment (however a little kooky on animal rights). I will have to keep looking. But thanks for running!

Paul Chehade is running as an Independent and he is from Miami.
