Felons for Gore

FELONS FOR GORE

Got a felony conviction? Want to vote? Go to Florida!

The Palm Beach Post did a computer analysis and identified more than 5,600 Floridians who voted in the 2000 presidential election, even though their names and birth dates perfectly matched names and birth dates on a list of suspected felons. Convicted felons are barred from voting in Florida.

Which presidential candidate benefited from the votes of all these felons? It's an easy question. Of the likely felons the Palm Beach Post identified, 68 percent of them were registered Democrats.

It's a no-brainer. Democrats are soft on crime. Criminals like politicians who are soft on crime. So criminals vote for Democrats. Small wonder why Democrats want to loosen the regulations to allow more convicted felons to vote.

Do you really want to support a party that counts criminals among its constituents?

It's funny how the Dems fight for felon votes, and against military voting.

Daschle blocks bill on military voting

Daschle blocks bill on military voting
By Rowan Scarborough
THE WASHINGTON TIMES


Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle is blocking passage of a bill that would authorize polling places on domestic military installations and ease the obstacles some service members face in absentee balloting.


The Clinton administration also opposes the bill, which the House approved in a 297-114 bipartisan vote Oct. 12. Many Republicans accuse Democrats of stopping the bill as part of a larger strategy to suppress the military vote, just as the party did in Florida in challenging hundreds of overseas military ballots.


Senate aides say Mr. Daschle, South Dakota Democrat, placed a "hold" on the bill, a maneuver that would kill the measure if the Senate does not vote before the current session expires at year's end.
