Hillary Attempting To Stack The Deck
By Dave Gibson (02/21/05)
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) is pushing for legislation, which would restore the voting rights of every convicted felon living in the United States. Why is she proposing such a ludicrous bill?...Because she knows that 99.9 percent of them, would vote Democratic and would be just the boost she needs for her 2008 Presidential bid.
John Kerry lost the '04 election by more than 3 million votes. There are currently nearly 5 million Americans who are not eligible to vote, due to their felon status. If their eligibility was restored, it would give Hillary a much needed edge over any Republican challenger.
Hillary Clinton as well as other high-profile Democrats are still fuming over the re-election of President Bush. She said recently: "Once again we had a federal election that demonstrates we have a long way to go. I think it's also necessary to make sure our elections meet the highest national standards."
Allowing felons to vote is bringing our election process to a higher standard?
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) is also seeking to restore the voting rights of felons. Boxer said recently that such a measure "is meant to ensure the election debacle of 2000, and the serious election irregularities of 2004, never ever happen again."
Sen. Boxer of course, failed to mention what the "irregularities" were in either election. I wonder if the 2000 election had been won by Al Gore, if Sen. Boxer would still characterize it as a "debacle"? The only thing that the Democrats want to ensure is that their party takes back the White House!...The felon vote could deliver it to them.
It is curious that we never heard any of these liberals complaining about our election process during the Clinton years. While Bill Clinton failed to win a majority of the vote in either of his elections--the liberals were silent.
While restoring the voting rights of felons has always been an issue which is near and dear to the Democratic Party, it is only fitting that Hillary Clinton be the one who brings the issue to a head. After all, her husband came very close to losing his own voting rights. Be it not for Bill Clinton agreeing to give up his law license--he would no doubt be a convicted felon.
Hillary has a history of siding with criminals, when she thinks it will garner her some votes. In 1999, she helped gain the release of 16 Puerto-Rican terrorists, who years earlier had maimed several New York City police officers. President Bill Clinton granted pardons to the terrorists, who were members of a violent Puerto-Rican separatist group known FALN. The group went on a bombing and bank robbery spree (in which murders were committed) from 1974 to 1983. It was an obvious attempt to pander to New York's large Puerto-Rican population, which had long lobbied for the release of the terrorists. Bill Clinton pardoned the terrorists, Hillary won her Senate seat, and six innocent victims lie dead and ex-cops are still missing arms and legs.
This is the woman who wants to be our next president!
The fact that the Democrats want to see criminals (many of whom have left a path of ever-destroyed lives in their wake), enjoy the same rights that law-abiding Americans have earned...should send any Democrat with a conscience running to the other side of the aisle. The Democratic Party has truly lost their way. It has become the party of deviants and sodomites. So why not drug dealers and murderers?
The left took quite a pounding in 2004. They know that they will continue to be exposed as well as continue to lose elections. They are now literally scraping the bottom of the barrel.
I would like to see everyone who has ever had the misfortune of becoming of victim of a violent crime, to contact your Congressman and Senators. Tell them that you are as appalled as I am that United States Senators want to give your attacker the same rights you have!
