If Martin Luther King Jr. were alive today . . .?

Question

Chances are he would be an liberal (democrat) and probably run for office in the elections . . . Would you vote for him and why?

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

Yes. Unfortunatley for Eros.....Republicians dont either. Look at the Americans Bush has killed in the past few years. I'm still waiting on the evidence of WMD. Democrats are not as stupid as you might think. I'd rather be an *** than an elephant any day. Martin Luther King was a good man from what I've heard. I dont know if he would be politically inclined for the job. But he sure knew how to make the races come together, just as God intended when he made us.

Answer 3

Not if he turned into a Jesse Jackson.

Chances are that his affair would have ruined his political career. Also, we cannot assume that because he stood for a liberal issue (which many Conservatives supported) that he would join the Democratic party. In fact, when he died and their party started taking God out of EVERYTHING that the federal government supports - I'm sure he would have stuck it to them.

Also, running for office wasn't on his agenda.

So -> No Vote -> for the dead man who would never run.

Answer 4

IF Martin Luther King were alive today he would be retired, and so senile that he would be in an old age home in diapers. when was he shot and how old was he then. His legacy does live on in the persons of C Rice and The General

Answer 5

I doubt Dr. King would have ran for office. He reluctantly agreed to head the Montgomery bus boycott and become the face of the Civil Rights Movement. He doesn't come across as a very public person to me.

Answer 6

MLK was a great man and I'm sure that he would have been a liberal but I wouldn't vote for him because I don't believe the democrats have a plan for anything, especially when it comes to protecting America from terrorists.

Answer 7

He would have been shot again. American government do not like to be embarassed in the eyes of the world that is how they undermine other governments. MLK, Malcolm X, Megar Evers etc.... allowed Americans little secret of racism and social injustice leak out all over the world prompting the government to clean house on both sides.

Answer 8

He would probably not run. Jesse Jackson has is his modern day equivalent & he has learned he is not electable. Far left or right can not get elected because you need the moderates to win.
No I would not vote for him but I would not vote for Rush either.

Answer 9

Good question. I am not sure. I like the ideas he had and the attitude he created in the 60's. However, I don't know that the same platform would win him the election in today's society. I guess to answer your question, it would depend on his platform and who else was running.

Answer 10

If Rev. King were alive today I believe he'd be disgusted with the way we live and treat each other and he would still be fighting for equality. so hell yes he'd get my vote.

Answer 11

fOR COMBS, LOOK DONT EVER COMPARE MARTIN LUTHER KING TO JESSE JACKSON, COME ON, MLK WAS AN HONEST MAN JESSE JACKSON HAS ILLEGITIMATE CHILDRE, AND SECOND IF MLK WERE ALIVE TO DAY HE WOULD PROBABLY COMMIT SUICIDE, IT IS NOT A RECIST COMMENT, THINK ABOUT IT, HE DIED TO PROTECT AFRICAN AMERICAN, HE FOUGHT FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN RIGHT TO VOTE, RIGHT TO SIT IN FRONT OF THE BUS, TO SEE HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS DO WHAT THEY DO NOW, COME ON PEOPLE HE NOT ONLY DIED FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS HE DIED FIGHTING FOR THE CAUSE OF ALL PEOPLE OF ALL COLORS WOULD ONE DAY HOLD HANDS, AND I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT, WE NEED TO LEAVE AS SIDE RACISM AND FOCUS ON HOW TO BETTER OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY INSTEAD OF TRYING TO DEPORT PEOPLE, IF WE ONE DAY EVOLVE THE ILLEGALS INTO LEGALS YOU DONT THINK WERE ARE CONTRIBUTING TO MR. KINGS SPEACH, AND YES WE NEED A MINORITY PRESIDENT EITHER HISPANIC OR BLACK, IF YOU ARE A GOOD , GOOD MORAL AND ETHICAL PERSON WHY NOT.
