Let me get this straight. If any certain party is having enough trouble
getting votes from the law-abiding portion of society, the solution is to reach
deep into the pockets, sewers and dark evil holes and alleys of the law-breaking
portion!
There is something wrong when an article brags that "had Florida felons
been allowed to vote, Gore would've carried the state in 2000." Well, no
kidding.
Isn't it obvious that if you are not law-abiding, you will definitely not vote
for the person or party that will be tough on crime?
What has happened to the days when political parties were satisfied with using
the votes of only those in the cemeteries?
