aprilcat 0 #26 June 27, 2004 It certainly does say a lot about someone when they take a vested interest in getting felons to vote. Let's not pretend that these Democrats are "getting out the felon vote" because they believe that once re-enfranchised, felons will vote a 50-50 split Democrat and Republican! No, they realize that felons are keen on putting soft-on-crime Democrats into power so that after their next arrest, they won't do as much time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Did President Bush NOT promise extensive training to current felons WITH the promise of jobs upon release? He chose this program along with educating school children on Abstinence instead of Protection. Which of these two groups are going to vote in the next election and which way do you think THAT will go?~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

One of my best friends is a good old boy. He is a democrat...The reason? He always has been, and so has his family. He does not know ONE current issue about this election...He knows nothing about any of the scandels or rumors...He vote Democratic based on the past. The felons will vote dem just cause they will not vote repub."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So who cares if they get jobs interviewing as long as they are screened and paid their debts to society? I'm all for rehabilitiation. My point is that those (graduating) schoolkids will be voting in the next election and they will most likely feel they have been shafted in favor of that rehabilitation and will swing the next election.~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!
