Gabu! You've become a Conservative! This is, you know unconstitutional?
Not exactly.

"Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State."

(Fourteenth Amendment)

You do know we're both Canadian right? We have a different constitution here, and this has been through the courts, and prisoners are allowed to vote.

Wow, you live in a backwards hellhole.

It's a secret ballot. Women can make up their own minds. Kids almost always agree with their parents.

The power to vote is the power to destroy. It is the power to apply force. If that is a right, then there are no other rights.

Wow, you are the absolute dumbest person I've ever met in my life. Now we're going to let four year olds decide what our rights are. I guess that's better than Democrats, but still not ideal. A better method needs to be worked out.

And if my reasoning skills were as poor as yours, I might actually think that opposition to democracy means one should not oppose a form of democracy. Thankfully they're not, so I can just laugh at that post.

Why do people act as if discrimination is a bad thing?

Why the hell not? Someone screws up and they lose all of their rights even after they're out of jail?

The right to apply the overwhelming, near invincible force of the state must be guarded carefully. I'm sorry, someone who raped a twelve year old shouldn't be voting to lower the age of consent or something.

Anyway, someone who has served their jail sentence and repaid their debt to society should be able to oppress others.

I disagree. I see oppression as a bad thing.

I think what he meant is that he'd then consider it, since it wouldn't be pure politics. Not that that makes sense either, but it's different from being hyper-partisan.

If the Democratic Party needs the votes of outlaws to win, the Democratic Party needs to be outlawed.

By the way, someone who actually thinks murderers in jail should be able to vote shouldn't be complaining about other people's views on voting rights.

Yes. I don't want murderers voting period. I don't care if they support my party or not, because I'm not a partisan hack.

An ex-felon is a felon.

You're just stating your position. That some people should be able to vote, and others shouldn't, and that people who commit crimes of extreme cruelty should be able to rule.

The ability to vote is the ability to rule.

I don't really care what some four year communist considers extreme cruelty.
