Is Mitch going to put up with Grimey felons voting against him or the Kentucky Gov candidate?
Ah yes, anything to increase democrat voters.
Paul is an idiot.
I agree with this... If a person has paid their debt to society, why should they not be citizens again.
and own guns too!
“and own guns too!”
Yes...
When is Rand going to say something that makes sense? The idiot has lost me..
Randy Paul has gotten worse than Marco Rubio.
“and own guns too!”
Most felonies do not involve violence. There are tens of thousands of felonies at a state or federal level (you could have committed one today and not even realized it).
If a person is not ready to be released, then keep him/her in prison.
Hey, Democrats helped the establishment in Mississippi. We’re dealing with the Uniparty now.
They're still citizens, just ones that have lost the privilege of voting. So you're fine and dandy with letting some marxist left-wing activist who was convicted of voter fraud being allowed to vote again once they're patrolled?
Actually, I think his proposal has some potential. Someone convicted of a non-violent drug felony in their early 20’s should not lose their voting rights for the remainder of their lives if they have kept their nose clean. Maybe there can be some restrictions ....like a clean record for 10 years.
You don't believe in anything in between? It's either a 100% return, or life in prison?
Scooter Libby or Martha Stewart might go on a gun rampage. /s
Yes, it has potential to ensure Democrats win all future elections, which is why the Dems are pushing for this and illegal alien amnesty. Illegal aliens + convicted felons voting = DemonRats win. Study after study has shown that:

No, Paul is a turncoat.
How about restoring the right to keep and bear arms for non-violent felons?
Now now...we must vote GOP no matter what or we hate America and love Obama. I read that right here by staunch rock ribbed conservatives.
If they aren’t rehabilitated then perhaps they should stay in jail. Otherwise make em full citizens.

Name one person who has been convicted of that. (in your dreams)
