“That is not true,” Scrivens said. “NAACP is non partisan. Our goal is to encourage people to register to vote and go to the polls.”

Non-partisan??? Whatever.

How about a new drinking game from now until the elections are over...anytime you hear the word "disenfranchised", take a drink. Alcohol poisoning is just around the corner.

WWWWWHHHHHAAAAATTTTT!!!!!! Thought that if one is a convicted felon, the bloody person loses the right to vote. That's part of the punishment. And the NAACP is one of the biggest partisan (demoncRAT) organizations in existence.

"NAACP is non partisan..."

Well, that settles it. The Leftists truly think that we're idiots.

Sure...the NAACP is nonpartisan. And the KKK is just a social club.

the votes of prisoners, inmates, those on probation, parole or former felons could change the outcome – that is if they could vote.

Yes, and if my auntie had bollocks she'd be my uncle. So what?

Felons for Kerry - I like it...
Maybe if they don't like the consequences of the act, they should not perform the act??

Or is that being too obscure???

Here's a tip for the NAACP - it you want to keep your right to vote - DON'T COMMIT A FELONY!

They had a right not to commit crimes for which their right to vote could be revoked. They chose to violate the law with no regard to the consequences.

We always hear how blacks are disproportionately held in prisions. The answer to that is simple. Blacks disproportionately commit more crimes for which they are imprisoned. To many in the black community, being arrested, jailed or senteneced to prison is looked upon as a badge of honor, something to be looked up to and admired. Then the leaders of the blacks complain that blacks are sterotyped. They act in outrageous manners and then want to know why they are avoided.

And I have it on good authority that George Steinbrenner is not a committed Yankee fan.

Interesting article and definately something we will hear much more about between now and when Bush is inaugerated in January.

I am so glad that Drudge got to "out" the Kerry Campaign race card where the DNC wants to claim voter intimidation, even if it doesn't exist game plan.

At least now people and news paper editorial boards will have an inkling of what this story is really about.

This is a fundamental question that should be debated within state legislatures. Who should be able to vote. Should illegal aliens be allowed to vote in local school board elections like was suggested in San Francisco California? Should illegal aliens be allowed to vote as was likely the cause of Congressman Bob Dornans defeat. Should convicted felons be allowed to vote? Should those who have been judged as mentally impared be allowed to vote? Should the dead be allowed to vote? Should people who are no longer residents within an area (i.e. foreign expartiates - remember the voter registration activities in Canada and France?) be allowed to vote? Should active military be allowed to vote and if so from where and in what kind of elections?

All questions that a democratic society can decide in a state legislature. My hope would be that voting is a not a "right," as in the bill of rights, but that it is something reserved for those who are not criminals and not mentally incompetent. In other words, I have no problem with denying convicted felons a right to vote.

We deny them the right the excercise their second ammendment rights of keeping and bearing arms, so why should a right to vote be considered more special than a right to protect themselves?

“They [former felons] are concerned about domestic spending and sending jobs overseas. They are concerned about welfare reform,” she said."

bwhahahhaha. Yeah, I can just see it now. a group of black felons standing on the street corner drinking 40 oz. malt liquers and smoking blunts:

"Yo bro, you see that the unemployment rate raised .25 percent last month due to outsourcing of service and manufacturing jobs?

"asa fact dog, and federal spending decreased two points over the last year, sup wit dat?"

"Dat's some fu**ing bullsh** dude. Soon as I sell these last 10 rocks I'm gonna go vote about this sh**!

"whazzat?"

"Whas what?"

"Whas that vote thing you talking about?"

"I dunno bro but I think we supposed to be doing it."

My view is that the incarcerated voted on the people that made the laws that put them in the prisons to begin with...therefore, they HAVE had their day!

Yes, let's let felons decide this election. They have proved their ability to make the correct life choices. The rest of us law abiding citizens are too stupid to get free room and board from the state.

These black felons is where Jesse Jackson and his minions get their "disenfranchisement of blacks".

If Jesse and his minons had not been such poor role models for their black community, maybe there would not be so many of them in jail.

Yes, I am sure they need welfare reform, so their children and spouses left behind have a way to survive.

I encourage everyone to go to the link and view some of the opions expressed in the forum of Blackamerica.com. The justifications and misunderstandings are very sad. There is even one person stating it is wrong for prisoners to have to pay taxes! I suppose they should have no hand in consinuing to support THEIR country as well? This truely shows that the democratic party wants votes, no matter what the cost.

I DO NOT WANT A CONVICTED SEX OFFENDED VOTING ON POLITICIANS THAT ARE LAX ON PORNOGRAPHY...GET THE PICTURE????
