"Star Trek" Captains campaign for Ohio Democrat. . .

Well, Star Trek always WAS a bit Politically Correct.

However, with Shatner, a Canadian National, doing an appearance for a US politician, isn't that TECHNICALLY a Foreign National making an illegal campaign donation to a US Federal Candidate ?? Especially as they talked it up at the "Trek" conventions. . .

Of course, there IS a Shatner-Ohio connection precedent: Jim Traficant and HIS bad hairpiece, to match the famous "Shatner Turbo 2000". . . .

Beam me up, Mr. Speaker.....

[alloysteel]

I thought, in the future, along with no Iraqis to be found aboard any "Star Trek" vehicles, there would also be none of their supporters, the future evolved liberals....

[arkfreepdom]

Janeway is easily the worst captain in Star Trek history....Hagan is toast.

[finnman69]

Go figure. The Federation always a bit on the liberal side.

[Lancey Howard]

Shame.
I never thought Shatner would campaign for a parasite-party candidate.

[Fides et Ratio]

Does this mean her campaign slogan is going to be RESISTANCE IS FUTILE?

[Wolfie]

Never fear...Shatner's hair is supporting the Republican.

[B-Chan]

The Federation is communist!

[cuz_it_aint_their_money]

Humans can be so illogical.

[hattend]

And Seven of Nine has become a preachy, liberal, Clinton-worshiper (kneel before him!) on 'Boston Public'. Kids, prepare to be assimilated into NEAbots

Oh Ms. Ryan! How the mighty have fallen!

I agree. Kate Mulgrew won't help...she was the worst.

I've only seen one poll on this race - from last week, and it was closer than I expected. Taft - 42%, Hagan - 33%. But I don't know anything about the polling firm (Dykes), or who commissioned the poll. Margin of error - 5%.

DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!!! At least during lunchtime (as I'm wiping spewed Diet Coke off the keyboard...)

LOL!

[Jonah Hex]

I remember reading one of Shatner's biographies (honest, I didn't buy it, it was just lying there!) where he compared Checkov's uptight character to a Rush Limbaugh listener. The comparison was not flattering.

Our choices are pretty sad here in Ohio. I think we have a Constitutional Party candidate. Guess I'll be one of the .067% crowd.

[Grig]

Isn't Shatner still a Canadian citzen?

[Salgak]

Yep. Says so in the article as well. . .

Me too. I've never done that before. But this November for the governor's race, I will.

I've got a couple RINOs for senators also. DeWine is cosponsoring a gun control bill with hillery, I'll never vote for him again.

I voted for DeWine in the general last time, against in the Primary....not that it mattered. Why can't we have Blackwell in the Senate instead?
