I get pretty irritated by some of the felon voting threads here sometimes. They tend to be heavily populated by people who don't know what they're talking about. In the end those people will only help Hillary because they're uneducated about the real issue.

When I was committing my crimes voting was the last thing I cared about. When I cleaned up my act I became conservative and got registered and have voted almost exclusively republican. I think most of the other freeper felons are much the same way.

A prison inmate on the other hand will vote simply for a change of pace for a day and there is little doubt that they will vote for the candidate most likely to release them early.


Most disgusting are the freepers who have said that I should be stripped of all of my rights for good because I'm a felon who can't be trusted. Seems a little harsh for past drunk driving arrests to me. This is especially true coming from people who brag about their drinking prowess.

That statement is the key. This is exactly why Hillary and her goons want these people to be able to vote.

I still say .. once a person has done their time and turned their life around, they should be allowed to apply for voting rights. However .. if they end up back in jail for some reason .. it's easy to remove that right .. so I don't see what the problem would be.
