VOTERS BETTER DEAD THAN LAW-BREAKING

Let me get this straight. If any certain party is having enough 
trouble getting votes from the law-abiding portion of society, the 
solution is to reach deep into the pockets, sewers and dark evil 
holes and alleys of the law-breaking portion!

There is something wrong when an article brags that "had Florida 
felons been allowed to vote, Gore would've carried the state in 
2000." Well, no kidding.

Isn't it obvious that if you are not law-abiding, you will definitely 
not vote for the person or party that will be tough on crime?

What has happened to the days when political parties were satisfied 
with using the votes of only those in the cemeteries?
