Back Talk

Now, call me a cynical old Neo-Conservative if you wish, but I couldn’t help pondering this in terms of partisan political activism. For starters, this has the distinct smell of another Democrat attempt to garner votes for their party that is similar to voter shenanigans in the past such as the motor voter episode, not even mentioning all those dead people that manage to vote Democrat every year in places such as Chicago’s Cook County. Last election, a couple of places had more Democrat votes than registered voters. What are the odds that a person in jail would vote for Republicans, the party that is much tougher on law and order issues over Democrats who are historically soft on crime, tend to favor shorter sentences, general criminal coddling, and nominate liberal judges? Pollsters will now have to add a category called the “slammer vote.” Do you think these jail voter enthusiasts actually care whether prisoners vote? They want them to vote for the same reason the Democrats want to grant amnesty to 15 or 20 million illegal aliens – so that they can inherit a block of new Democrat voters. Since Hispanic voters already vote overwhelmingly Democrat, and with our failure to control our southern border allowing a million new illegal aliens to come across annually, the DemPols see this as a way to take permanent control of politics and therefore the country.
