Supreme Court allows Adul poll run

By: BangkokPost.com
Published: 7/01/2009 at 11:33 AM

The Supreme Court’s election cases division ruled on Wednesday morning that Adul Luangboriboon of Chart Thai Pattana party is qualified to run in the Jan 11 by-election.

Mr Adul’s application to contest the by-election was rejected by election officials in Uthai Thani on the ground that he had not been a member of the party for at least 90 days as required by the election law. Mr Adul appealed to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court’s ruling has effectively put Mr Adul back in the race. It also set a precedent for the qualifications of 11 other candidates of the party with the same problem.

The court's ruling represents a big relief for the Democrat-led government whose stability will be at great risk if the Chart Thai Pattana candidates are disqualified to contest the forthcoming poll.

    To Sloth and wtf.

    You are all both so right in your views on the political issues in Thailand of today. It is nice to see that we have such enlightened people in our growing PAD movement. Now I fully understand that we have spent our money wisely.

    Come to think of it. Now that we have kicked this toxic Usurper (Yes that’s THAKSIN) out of office and reclaimed our birth given right to govern this country, now we really have the opportunity to stop this nonsense permanently and set up hinders for such an obscure situation to ever reoccur again. These ignorant, poor, northern excuses of non human low life must once and for all learn the basic fact that their opinions never again will bear any weight when it comes to governing this country.

    Now that we can rightfully claim we gained power in a democratic fashion, we must learn from history and set up solid barriers that secures our future for the next one thousand years and secure us the position where we belong; in charge of the political power of this amazing nation. To obtain that goal we must make sure we can stay in control of courts, the army and the police as we have established the last couple of years. This is the very important lesson history taught us. Then we of course must make sure that the press continue to write the stories we want them to tell. Obviously we’re in good progress there already.

    But of course the sad fact will still remain, that there will no matter how much we suppress the media, remain a few of these dreadful, poor, ignorant losers up north and in Isaan. Well history have given us a lesson there to; we can put up special camps to relocate an re-educate these people in what is truly in their best interests and sole true conception of life. Simple, but the final solution to the problem this nation now and ever after is going to face.

    And for this BLASTING AND IRRITATING DREY; please remember that it not only Saddam who have weapons of mass destruction. I guess gassing you will be the appropriate answer for you.

    So thank you both, one more time wtf and Sloth for joining our fantastic PAD movement. Really hope you were satisfied with your payslip, don’t worry there’s a lot more coming now that we’re back in the control of government. You know what they say; if you’re not with us you’re against us and if so we must crush you literally like an insect.

    To LAUGHINGSTOCK (Levenfeld),

    YOU DID A VERY CORRUPT WROTTEN DISGUSTING ILLEGAL THING YESTERDAY. YOU USED MY SCREEN NAME "DREY" TO TYPE WHATEVER MESSAGE(S) YOU WANTED ALL OVER THIS BOARD.

    IF I DO NOT RECIEVE AN APOLOGY FROM YOU POSTED ON WHERE YOU USED MY SCREEN NAME ILLEGALLY I WILL CONTACT THE BANGKOK POST, GET YOUR REAL CONTACT INFORMATION AND TAKE YOUR DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR TO COURT.

    SO, YOU HAVE OPENED YOUR TRUE COLORS FOR ALL TO SEE. ARE YOU NOW ANY DIFFERENT THAN THAKSIN? THE MAN YOU VILLIFY AS BEING SO CORRUPT, WROTTEN, ILLEGAL AND DISGUSTING? ARE YOU THE BEST EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE OTHER SIDE HAS TO OFFER? I REST MY CASE.

    AS FOR THE GARBAGE YOU SPEW CLAIMING EVERYONE IS ME THAT DOESN'T SEE EYE TO EYE WITH YOU AND WALK YOUR WALK OR TALK YOUR TALK. NOBODY CARES. ONLY YOU!

    This is not surprising.

    The rules are first made to sideline the previous government's candidates, and then bent to favor the Abhisit supporters.

    Thais have nothing to say about this. There is no real opposition with enough clout to stop the powers that trample on democracy again, and again and again.

    End 2007 the king of Thailand said something like (I paraphrase):

    "the soldiers and the people are like the two legs of a body. When one moves forward the other must stay behind or it risks making the body wobble"

    We have been hearing this over the past year and a bit more on the radio, often.

    Interpret what the king said as you like...

    But as long as the military continues their historical repetitions of coups, it seems to me it is democracy that is wobbling, and maybe even crippled. Soldiers wear boots, peasant go barefoot.

    Wow, did you see Thaksin's son campaigning for Peu Thai up there in Roi Et? Flanked by UDD and with the lowly Issans kneeling on the ground.

    You don't see this as a sick cult of personality? You don't see how the UDD is simply another set of slave chains for the poor to carry?

    No - the poor people are poor because they DO lack an education and a means to provide for themselves. They must be given the means, not handed the end, then wait until next election again and again for it to be handed to them.

    I'm sick of this back and forth. Anyone sitting there saying support this pack of criminals or that pack - wear this shirt or that - are your enemy. Stand on your own - friends family and community, and let these politicians ALL be damned.

    To Levenfeld or whatever other alias you are using today.

    I see in #thread 65# that you in your little conspiracy driven uneducated mind of yours, have big problems with the fact that most people in this world disagree with all your Nazi opinions on politics and of course every other useless opinion you create in your uneducated little brain. And that there are many of us who use our natural given right to express that disagreement on the internet, just as you unfortunately use your freedom of speech to express your gutter Nazi opinions, is obviously incomprehensible for you to understand.

    Just for the record then. I don’t speak for the other nick’s you mentioned, I am not to be confused with Drey but I am absolutely True Democrat and I speak only on behalf of myself no matter what your shitty, Nazi brain think about that.

    NOTICE TO ALL READERS, there is a cancer among us. His job is not to communicate. His job is to poison the truth and spread propaganda on these boards. He is paid for this. He uses many names and seems to dump some of them when caught. These are names he definitly uses: DREY....VOICE OF REASON....LAW....GENT....TRUE DEMOCRAT....THONG These names are also probably the same person: N or n....KAWEEKA....KASIT.

    He lies and disorts all facts, including his own board name.

    Supreme Court gives nod to Adul's poll race.....................................................ha! ha! Ha!

    You bribe me, you win. Democrat-led government is all corrupted, pay and pay till someone betray you. No money NO TALK. You cannot escape, just a matter of time, top officials are guilty, they know themselves. They will go to hell, cheat people - you will pay with your life, a very high price indeed!

    WHY THEY CAN DO IT? Very shameful, disgrace government. Mr. A is guilty of money political matters. BEWARE, DO NOT BE BLINDED BY HIS stupid policy statement. HE IS A LIAR, SO IS ALL COURT OFFICIALS.

    Say Robert, what about the decision that initially kept Thaksin in office, even though he had hidden assets. Remember his defense, "he was sorry, he had made a mistake".

    Discussion 3 : 07/01/2009 at 08:00 PM3

    If you are going to make a list True Democrat, then why does it not include Thaksin? Should he not also be in a cell with all others on your list?
