Go look at the DeMoines Register website. Bernie is advocating to allow felons to vote. Most Democrats have little or no values and are criminally-minded, just like Trump has said. So, it makes sense.
Criminals: Large part of the Democrat Party base.
They already do. Usually several times.
Well, after all, the Dems let the actions of criminals and mentally ill dictate their ideas on gun control (as opposed to the law abiding). This is not too much of a stretch, isn’t it?
Hey, Bernie, do you realize that felons would never support dem attacks on the Second Amendment?
Along with grave dwellers.
Well, why shouldn’t jailed and paroled felons not be able to vote for their fellow felons. They are one and the same. Slime makes more slime. Crooks produce more crooks. Cheats birth more cheats. And, criminals like the present day Dimocrats birth more and more and more Communist Criminals.
My my. Not much Christian charity here.
Ex-Con voting isn’t particularly liberal anyhow. It won’t change any elections. And if they’ve paid their debt to society why shouldn’t they get their rights back?
forget it,Bernie...
HilLIARy and Obama will never vote for you
Well it really is the “DEMOCRATIC CRIME SYNDICATE”.
Well it really is the “DEMOCRATIC CRIME SYNDICATE”.
Agree. If you did the time you should be able to vote, but nit while in prison.
I don't know the breakdown but I'd bet a shiny penny that 'not all felons are democrats'. We have a whole bunch of FReeps that seem to 'think' otherwise.
“And if theyve paid their debt to society why shouldnt they get their rights back?”
Why the hell not, why not give the Democrats MILLIONS MORE VOTES?
Won’t hurt us a bit!!! NOT ONE BIT!!! Whatever could go wrong? Why are you so paranoid, BobL?
If AOC and her bunch get to implement their FINAL SOLUTION on Americans who simply want to be left alone, please LOOK IN THE MIRROR and realize you’re a SUCKER for being one of their Useful Idiots.
Sorry, you too. Let the Democrats EARN THEIR VOTES - we don’t need to hand them MILLIONS MORE. No different than Amnesty.
I don’t want us to become a THIRD WORLD COUNTRY, and I NEVER allow steps to be taken in that direction, even if they do appear “Kinder and Gentler”.
Maybe you should do some research on how excons actually vote before flying off the handle.
“Maybe you should do some research on how excons actually vote before flying off the handle.”
Got some data? I can tell you their ethnic makeup. If they vote ANYWHERE CLOSE to that, then yes, we are talking about handing the Democrats MILLIONS OF VOTES.
And for what in return? Voter ID, cleaning up the voter roles, checking for citizenship? Nope, not a damn thing - just MILLIONS OF NEW VOTES for Democrats.
If we’re not willing to FIGHT for ourselves, how about our kids? Or do we not give a crap about them either?
“I don’t know the breakdown but I’d bet a shiny penny that ‘not all felons are democrats’. We have a whole bunch of FReeps that seem to ‘think’ otherwise.”
I’m sure you’re right, so they get net 2 million new Democrat voters, rather than 3 million. How, exactly, does that help us?
Past studies show 80% of felons vote Dem.
“Past studies show 80% of felons vote Dem.”
Thanks, I figured that was the case.
Hispanics vote 30% to 45% Republican, so even a large-scale Amnesty would not be as bad for the country.
One thing that I noticed about a decade ago when this issue came around was some very well-spoken ex-cons who claimed to be conservatives. It was weird because they obviously were NOT representative of the 80%, yet they flooded talk radio, at least here in Houston (typically by calling in).
So, if people on our side are getting tricked by the Dems on this, I would not be a bit surprised.
