Felons Paid in Voter Registration Drive
Political Group Paid Felons to Conduct Door-To-Door Voter Registration Drives in Least 3 States
The Associated Press
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. June 23, 2004 — A Democratic group crucial to John Kerry's presidential campaign has paid felons some convicted of sex offenses, assault and burglary to conduct door-to-door voter registration drives in at least three election swing states.
America Coming Together, contending that convicted criminals deserve a second chance in society, employs felons as voter canvassers in major metropolitan areas in Missouri, Florida, Ohio and perhaps in other states among the 17 it is targeting in its drive. Some of the felons lived in halfway houses, and at least four returned to prison.
ACT canvassers ask residents which issues are important to them and, if they are not registered, sign them up as voters. They gather telephone numbers and other personal information, such as driver's license numbers or partial Social Security numbers, depending on what a state requires for voter registration.

No kidding. Those European bastards. After we bomb the Middle East out of existence, we should go after Europe. Then, after that, we take out all those crybabies that whined until they got a 40 hour work week.
For real though, if we're supposed to hate on Europe do we have ANY allies we like?

It's like Randy Newman said - Let's drop the big one cause they all hate us anyway.

Exactly. This is the party of voting "irregularities" and this election cycle promises to be no different. I guess I can see why they don't have a problem with ex-cons working for them- they are one of their core supporting blocs! No wonder they want felons to vote. :rolleyes:
Democrats- the party of criminals, ne'er-do-wells, enviro-nuts and other fringe elements of society. As Zell Miller states in his book, that is why they are a national party no more.

And yet he's still one of them. That other party must be a little worse...

Well, he has what I call loyalty to a party's dead ideals. And besides, what's the point of switching when you're out soon anyhow? If people thought Florida 2000 was bad, I bet the Democrats will have all of the "battleground" states flooded with lawyers to file b.s. legal challenges, workers to give homeless folks cigarettes and Thunderbird to pull the Donkey lever and other workers who will help the Democrats secure a crucial voting bloc, dead people. Guess you could call that the Lazarus vote!

Actually I don't see a problem with hiring ex-cons. They need work too. They have paid their debt and served their time.

Under the reign of King George II those convicted of any offense will be shipped off to a remote island where they can form their own post apocalyptic society.
Evil leaders will have bones in their noses.
Ray Liota and the black guy from Ghostbusters will be there.
It'll be fabulous!
