The next logical step... let the "rest of the world" vote who our president is.

After all, they all have opinions. The "chosen person" CAN and/or WILL affect their lives (by increasing or cutting handouts to them or just straight bombing them).

By all means.

P.S. Especially the French and Russians.

In my old country, this kind of stunt is NOT allowed!  NO PRISONERS allowed!  You do your time!  When you're finished that's the time you can vote again.

This is the first time that I'm outraged!

I'm always relaxed with my posts...

with every presidential election since carter the democrats have looked for some new class of people to givethe vote to in an attempt to sway the outcome.
i am an ex-felon twice over so i come to this discussion with the prior experience of having met thousands of ex-felons.
first, your NEVER an "ex"-felon, you either have just not been caught lately or have found something to do to keep you busy enough that you dint have time to get into trouble (thank you aces high!) but that is subject to change at any given moment or mood swing.
second most felons have a 6th grade or lower education and mentality. childish and selfish tends to be a way of life.
third the majority of felons believe that the rights of others are meaningless and that the violations of the trivial rights of others (say being safe in your own home, going to work or school without fear of bodily harm, or to own and derive personal pleasure and benefit from personal money and property) should not be held against them. obviously it must be your fault that you allowed yourself to be a victim.
really think about it, are these really the kinds of people who you feel have retained the right to make decision that may affect the lives and wellbeing of your children? (aside from the fact that Alot of those "ex"-felons are child molesters, and all of them believe they are victims of their upbringing and not really criminals. thus they and their families push to decriminalize child molestation and to classify it as a illness like alcoholism or drug addiction. believing that instead of being punished it should be treated) go look in the eyes of your child, take a long deep look inside them, then ask yourself if you would trust their life in the affectionate care of the neighborhood pedophile.
sorry if I'm a little abrasive about this type of topic, but the safety and long term wellbeing of my family lays in the hands of the dumb tulips that think this trash up.
anyways just my quick thoughts on the subject

The law is not consistent from state to state. In some states if they are a felon they lose it forever. In others they get the right back only if their civil rights have been restored (same for owning a gun). In other states they get the right back after serving time and fewer states allow felons to vote as long as they are felons of non-violent crimes and first time offenders and have served their time.

A.C.O.R.N. is one organization that pushes the limits by actually going to the prisons and waiting outside for prison releases so they can sign them up right then and there.

Felons vote Democrat by a very very very wide margin giving credit to the 6th grade education/mentality comment.

You're misinterpretting.  Felons in the USA, lose the right to vote, after they are convicted, for the rest of their lives...at least in most states.
I think that that is fair.... you commit a felony, you forego the right to choose.  But, for clarity, the push is not for inmates to vote.
