Youngsters incarcerated at the Manson Youth Institution in Cheshire, Conn., cast ballots in a mock election yesterday:
The election, which Kerry won 93 to 40, wrapped up an 11-week educational program on the political process that organizers hope will encourage the men to vote when they leave prison. The program taught about the history of the political parties, how to register to vote, and their rights under state voting laws. Inmates also analyzed the issues, debating about the economy, abortion rights, and the war in Iraq.
Kerry scored 70% of the juvenile-offender "vote" (because they're behind bars, and some are minors to boot, they can't cast actual ballots).
Meanwhile, the Associated Press reports that in a survey of military families, "Bush, who served in the Texas Air National Guard, was more trusted by 69 percent while 24 percent said they trusted Kerry more"--almost a mirror image of the juvenile-hall results.
BTTT lol
This "who would kids vote for" tripe is showing up everywhere, it seems. Kids are natural libs, whether they're incarcerated or not. Back to the 60s, when the country stupidly listened to the uneducated young masses and we lost our first major war, along with our morals.
These clowns are the CITIA minions of kerry. Criminals In Training In America. This is just a view of the twisted pieces of trash who would support a Kerry, Progressive Nationalistic Democratic Peoples Republic Of Amerika. Soros was probably down on his knees servicing these teenage convicts. SOros should be banned from America. Bush/Cheney 2004
Where you gunna send him?
We don't want him here.
LMAO!
I see 1/3 of the delinquints backed Bush. Are they the retarded third?
There is a large percentage of prisoners (blacks, mainly) who have been prosletysed by Wahabbists who are allowed to come into the prisions as "religious chaplains," and have accordingly been brainwashed.
I can tell you this accounts for a gret deal of the anti-Bush vote in prisons.
"Manson Youth Institution"
Appropriately named institution.
Roger that Mate!!
Good on yer, digger!!!
