You seem to be shilling for some other candidate, I won’t speculate who.
This is a federal law saying that ex-felons should have the right to vote IN FEDERAL ELECTIONS after they have served their time and cleared parole.
I hate to say it, but if you leave it up to the state politicians to decide who can vote and who cannot, AFTER they have paid the full price for their crimes, then it is usually the DEMOCRATS who cheat and lie. It’s the DEMOCRATS who would restore voting rights to Democrat-voting ex-felons and refuse to restore them to anyone who might vote Republican.
Notice that Santorum did not even say that ex-felons should have a right to vote in state or local elections. That’s up to the state or locality, although I’m sure there is a lot of DEMOCRAT and MACHINE corruption involved, deciding who gets to vote and who doesn’t.
I have not seen the figures, but given that most voter corruption these days is DEMOCRAT, I would imagine that it’s the Democrats who profit most by those state rules about lifetime elimination from voting in federal elections.
I don't appreciate your personal insults. Read my previous posts if you want to see my opinions.
Like I have stated in post #1, I had thought Santorum was the best candidate though I did not think he was perfect and I do not agree with all of his positions.
Check my previous posts before making stupid accusations.
The true rub on this particular vote was that Santorum was only one of three Republicans to vote FOR it, the others being his pal Arlen Specter and Dewine from Ohio. Plus this particular amendment was sponsored by Harry Reid, Russ Feingold, and Arlen Specter, not exactly the cream of the conservatism.
Me, I don’t care one way or the other. I don’t support Santorum for a variety of other reasons.
Amen, Cicero. I’m a Newt supporter, but once felons do their time, they should have ALL their rights restored, including the one to keep and bear arms.
