Oh, yes, let's use the most extreme and singular example you can think of to base your argument upon rather than looking at the sensible whole. That sure shows your intellectual rigor in forming an argument. /S
But rant on senselessly. It's your right. And I support that, as un-factual as your rants may be.
Talk about senselessly. So....you must have been one of the adoring people cheering in the audience when Bernie stated he thought the Boston Marathon Bomber should have the right to vote? And you are saying you support this? Really? You might be in the vast minority with that thought process.

The current leading Democratic candidate, Crazy Bernie Sanders, just advocated letting convicted felons currently serving sentences having the right to vote. He went on to confirm this would include convicts like the Boston Bomber. Is Crazy Bernie really this crazy and/are Democrats really this desperate at this point to get voters?MidwestRoadie wrote:
Honestly, what's crazy about it? Those who would be voting are still citizens and there are a hell of a lot of non-violent and non-victim criminals incarcerated, plenty of drug users incarcerated who are serving time for things that have since been decriminalized. I'm all in favor of doing what it takes to get more eligible voters to the polls and makes it easier for them to do so. What would it hurt? Do you honestly think the low percentage of voting in the general population is going to be overrun with massive amounts and percentages of incarcerated voters? They're serving their time in prison, which is enough punishment and shouldn't include losing the right to vote for those who will be their representatives once they're out. But call me crazy, because I believe in redemptive opportunities and grace and mercy and stuff, while still setting smart boundaries... But rant on senselessly. It's your right.
