Not all prisoners are felons congressman. I couldnt care less how they vote, but to me it seems Dem politicians pander to them, statistics show they will heavily vote for the dem party. Not surprisingly, most democrats now favor felons being given the right to vote.

Answer my question, why do you think its okay to force sex offenders to suffer through other punishments, including losing their vote, but its not okay to restrict the voting rights of all felons? Should those sex offenders be allowed to vote for a politician who will go easy on people who committed their crimes? Especially considering the repeat offender rate of felons?

Alone there are over 1 million black felons not allowed to vote.....hrmm I wonder why Dems want these people to have voting rights? Its not because they care about them, its because they want their vote to stay in office.

I'm the furthest thing away from being a democrat. So, if you're trying to draw a parralel between the me and a dem, you can stop now. :thanks:

And now, your questions (of which I will always answer, unlike most on this site.)

I have no problem with a convicted felon voting, including sex offenders. I also am against the sex offender registry, sex offender free zones, as well as cruel and unusual punishment such as castration. Yes, I'm also saying that a convicted felon who has been to prison, and paroled, (may also consider probation?), should have the ability to vote for a congressman who will be weaker on punishment for the category of crime he was convicted of. And, considering the repeat rate of felons. That what you wanted? :Thumbs:

And to clear up the matter, so you understand. Vermont and Maine allow CONVICTED FELON PRISONERS to vote. And in normal language, most always, prisoners are those who have committed felonies, while jails are for lesser charges.

Any other questions?
