DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Palus Politicus Washington, D.C., may let 16-year-olds vote for president. Is that a good idea?

You're not getting a result because you screwed up the query with the single quotation marks. Keep trolling.

Does it matter who said it...since it is essentially true....drawing attention to it being cited to the wrong person is akin to being part of the internet grammar police

Whoever first said it was spot on though.

When the Left is losing on the facts they turn to personal insults and snark...

Every
Single
Time.

History isn't fiction, you just can't rewrite it at your own will. I know facts get in the way of Cons' thinking skills, but they are needed.

Oh the irony....

Snark.

Stop generalizing... they do it when they are winning too.

Fortunately though they are the only ones that do it. Could you imagine how difficult it would be to hold a reasonable conversation if the right also acted like that? It would be darn near impossible. <smdh>

New York Gov. Cuomo grants 35,000 paroled felons right to vote; GOP sees 'power grab'

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/04/...power-grab.html

In an executive order signed Wednesday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo granted some 35,000 paroled felons the right to vote.

The move by the second-term Democrat came after state Republicans blocked a bill in the state Senate.

“I’m unwilling to take no for an answer,” Cuomo said at the annual convention of the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network in New York City. “I’m going to make it law by executive order.”

The new directive includes New York in a list of 14 states and the District of Columbia that allow felons to vote in elections after serving their sentence.

“It is unconscionable to deny voting rights to New Yorkers who have paid their debt and have re-entered society,” Cuomo said in a statement.

“This reform will reduce disenfranchisement and will help restore justice and fairness to our democratic process. Withholding or delaying voting rights diminishes our democracy.”

Cuomo said that nearly three-fourths of parolees in New York are black or Latino, and allowing parolees to vote will help them to reconnect with the community.

But Republicans disagree and already started pouncing on Cuomo over the new measure. Republican Senate Leader John Flanagan said Wednesday that the order was bad public policy and could potentially be illegal because the governor ignored the Legislature.

Ed Cox, chairman of the state Republican Party, in a statement, called the directive an “outrageous power grab” in a bid to appeal to “radical primary voters,” according to the New York Times.

Cuomo is facing an energized Democratic primary challenge from "Sex and the City" star Cynthia Nixon, who has repeatedly attacked the governor from the left and for failing to support minorities in the state.

In 14 states and DC, you can vote as soon as you are released from prison. Including Ohio, Indiana and other red states.

I guess the GOP should be accused of fixing elections for the Democrats too?

Bad policy... something like this should be done with a vote.


Was he able to finish this sentence with a straight face?


However, I do agree with his premise.. once you have paid your price to society, get on with full citizenship.
