ODESSA, Mo. -- A 24-year-old man is facing accusations that he tried to sell his vote to the highest bidder on eBay.

"All of a sudden, the deputy sheriff shows up at the front door. I almost fell through the floor," said William Hubbard, the man's father.

Hubbard told KMBC-TV in Kansas City, Mo., that he had no idea what his son was using the family computer for.

But according to the Lafayette County Prosecutor's Office, Tim Hubbard placed an ad on eBay offering to sell his vote for either President George W. Bush or Sen. John Kerry to the highest bidder.

"I think the minimum bid was $25. Our right to vote was bought by the blood of our veterans and it's priceless," prosecutor Page Bellamy said.

1. Yeah, right...............

"Our right to vote was bought by the blood of our veterans and it's priceless," prosecutor Page Bellamy said.

That is of course unless you're a Democrat. Then your vote has very little value in some States. For instance, Florida. Hell, I think the guy should be able to sell his vote. He's probably lost his job due to the "Bush economic miracle" and could use the money. The millions of dollars that are spent on political ads by Bush to smear Kerry are a a form of buying votes, this guy is just being more honest about it. He's coming right out front and saying "I can be bought", just like the Bush Administration. They don't do it on Ebay though.
