Massachusetts Dems: "Let Illegal Immigrants VOTE!" (Dems Despoil Democracy)
Boston Herald ^ | April 7, 2009 | Michael Graham

Posted on 04/07/2009 5:28:14 AM PDT by suspects

The election of President Barack Obama was supposed to usher in a post-racial and post-partisan America. But who knew that some Massachusetts Democrats dreamed of a post-American America?

Rep. Pam Richardson of Framingham wants the Massachusetts Democratic Party to advocate voting rights for illegal aliens.

You read that right. A handful of liberal Massachusetts towns already allow legal resident aliens to vote in local elections. But Richardson wants illegal immigrants canceling out your vote for school committee and town selectman.

And she wants the state Democratic Party to lead the way.

Last month, at a local party platform meeting in Framingham, Richardson looked into a video camera and bemoaned the unfairness of the crimmigrants’ plight:

“We have a large population of people living here who don’t have the same rights and opportunities of the rest of us,” she complained. “I’m talking about undocumented immigrants.”

Most “unfair,” she argues, is their exclusion from our democratic process.

“They don’t feel that they have anyone to represent them [in government]. It’s because they’re not part of the democracy,” Richardson told fellow Democrats.

You’re right, Rep. Richardson. Illegal immigrants are not part of the Massachusetts voting population. Nor are felons, children, legal residents of other states or the criminally insane.

A large plurality of people knew that.

Let’s hope that MA residents finally rise up and either vote these clowns out - or - tar and feather them, and let them sink into the bay. (I’d rather the latter...)

Why not just have illegals as the only group that can legally vote. Also, make illegals the only folks eligible for office too. What better group to vote and govern - complete “impartiality” and “objectivity”. No more partisanship bickering. Instead of partisanship, just illegalalienship.

Of Course, if the illegal alien votes AGAINST a Prop 8 like type of bill, then that illegal aliens vote will not count and that illegal alien will be reported to INS!!!

The socialist part of this country is going to, in Catholic terms, “excommunicate itself”...

But that will only happen when the rest of us decide we don’t want to be part of this mess anymore.

Oh, and for folks saying that we can’t take our ball and leave, that we have to work within the political system, work hard, get our folks elected to change the rules to how we want them, let me offer an analogy:

Five men and three women vote on whether rape should be legal. Ooooh... sorry, gals, you lost the vote. I guess you’ll have to “work hard and win the next election”. Meanwhile, game on, so to speak.

Easily demonstrated.

Given - God is Good, the ultimate Good.
Given - He provided us with laws.
Given - Actively promoting the thwarting of those laws is by definition, evil.

Now, step through the horizontal commandments (5-10). The left actively promotes the opposite of every one of them.

QED: Leftists (liberal democrats) are evil.

How about letting people who live out of state, but work in Mass. vote.

Talk about taxation without representation, those thieves take $7500 from me each year and what services do I get in return.

Illegals have been - LEGALLY VOTING in Chicago for over a decade for the local School Boards, which hires Principals, teachers (iirc) and set school budgets and spending.

This was done, 'out of necessity', as a good percentage of local school 'districts' didn't have ANY US CITIZENS with school age children to serve on these local boards.

So women are fair game unless they arm themselves.

Ohhh,,,, this is Massachusetts, sorry no permit so women are just along for the right in that state.

I hope they can swim.

My point was that I’ve had someone tell me that, since our side lost the election, that our only option is to work hard for the next election.

Meanwhile, we have to put up with being raped?

Here’s a bit of insight on Ms Richardson. Her voting district is centered upon Framingham MA [west of Boston], which happens to have a very large Brazilian immigrant community, many of whom are illegal aliens.

What is the value of citizenship if it requires nothing more than drawing breath (and a monthly welfare check)? Politicians, even those such as Ms. Richardson who dwell in virtual one-party fiefdoms, will come to rue the day when they put their own electoral interest over that of their state and their nation.

We are well on the way to becoming a bipolar country: a minor contingent composed of working citizen taxpayers on one side, and on the other a majority of non-taxpayers who have no definable interest in US citizenship, or who are in fact not citizens at all.

I need not point out the perils inherent in such a division. Except perhaps to liberals, who have a history of missing the point in these matters.

From her website: www.pamrichardson.com "A socially progressive Democrat, Richardson is a former School Committee member and Town Meeting member. She stressed, "Having served in local government I am very committed to providing the best municipal services we can for all of our residents. Strong public schools, quality programs for our seniors, and outstanding public safety services are not optional. We need to work together to make sure that all of our residents have access to what they need without increasing their financial burden." "

Oh, and check out her picture. She definitely was a two at ten, and a ten at two in college. (BEER GOGGLES)

Undocumented immigrants my ass.

They’re illegal aliens.

I guess squatters are “undocumented home owners.”
Burglars are “undocumented property owners.”

Logically, we can explain away any crime by attaching the word “undocumented” to it.

I’m a little short on cash, so I’m going to become an undocumented cash withdrawer at my local bank. It’s ok - right?

MANY churches are pandering to illegal aliens. the Catholic church with their support of ACORN, La Raza, Maldef. Protestant denominations are almost as bad and in soime cases worse. Many evangelicals are becoming Obama loving phonies like Rick Warren.

“social justice”.

Immigration laws, to them, are inhumane.

However, my small hometown had problems with the Catholic church harboring illegal Guatemalans. It would have been OK, except that many of them committed crimes, and the CC didn’t take any responsibility for them.
