Title: Felons to vote?
Post by: wrag on May 27, 2006, 06:18:01 PM

Interesting article.

At this point with no address to look at an actual bill I'm inclined to call it an allegation.  But someone may have a connection to such online?

Hillary has been pushing to allow felons to vote for a while.   Desperate to get the presidency, she would sell her childs soul for the power she seeks.  Selling out the American people wouldnt bother her for a minute.

I'm just baffled by the Hillary thing. As far as I can tell, she's done nothing to prove that she's presidential. Likewise, she's done nothing worthy of such fear and loathing.

All in all, she doesn't seem to be all that effective. She's simply recognizable.


What's the word from New Yorkers? They should know best. After all, she is their representative.


Back on topic. My first emotional response is hell no, felons shouldn't have the right to vote. Then, it occurs to me that millions upon millions of people in this country do not exercise their civic duty and vote. If a man has paid his debt to society and done his time, why not? I guess I'm with the 47% that doesn't think it's such a big deal. That said, I don't think prisoners should be allowed to vote as they do in Vermont and Maine.

So this hispanic guy goes to Mexico on vacation and loses his ID.

He gets back to the border and explains to the guards, "I lost my ID, but I am an American."

"Yeah sure buddy, we get that all the time."

"No really! I am the most American man you have ever met.  I have a picture of Ronald Reagan tattooed on my right butt cheek and a picture of GW Bush on the left cheek!"

"Ok buddy, if you show me that, I'll say you're an American and let you through."

So the guy moons the border guard and the guard says, "Sure enough, you are American.  Have a safe trip back to Boston."

"How'd you know I was from Boston?"

"Well when I saw that picture of Teddy Kennedy in the middle..."
