Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe just granted voting rights to 60,000 convicted felons.

McAuliffe managed Clinton’s unsuccessful 2008 presidential campaign.

The liberals' infatuation with criminals is one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. They defend criminals like someone defends their mother.

[Dave22reborn]

Sure they'd change their tune if one of their daughters was a victim of a crime.

Not really. Suppose someone committed a crime when they were 19 or 20. They did their time and are now in their fifties or sixties and are a responsible adult who contributes to their community,has a job, pays their taxes, and follows the law. They should be allowed to vote.

Kinda funny that the party of Jesus doesn't believe in forgiveness.

Note: The Virginia law permanently bars all felons. I would submit that there should be a pathway for them to be able to vote after a period of time and showing that they are a contributing member to society.

Jesus Christ, between this and the FBI probe, it's really telling how nervous the Clinton camp is about Tuesday.

Yet you still want to vote for these corrupt criminal loving slimeballs.

I don't want to.

It's just there are no alternatives. Clinton IS going to win and there's nothing I can do about it.

Well the victim has to live their entire life in fear. So should the criminal. I know a woman who was raped in a parking garage and she can't even go near one without getting flashbacks. Why does she deserve that but the guy who did it deserves to move on? Just because he did the crime at 19 doesn't make it any different - age discrimination is unacceptable btw.

I'll save my forgiveness for people who deserve it. Not for thugs.

[jtaylor2010]

As usual Trump says something, gets called crazy, and ends up being 100% correct.

What about people arrested for drug related offenses like possession? Three strikes law. Should they never be allowed to vote the rest of their life?

Not for pot. But if they possessed *******, meth or heroin? Yes.

You're grasping at straws now, a FELONY is a felony....

[HoganIsGOAT]

Terry is close friends with the Clinton's and knows they need a Virginia insurance policy.

A total disgrace!

[chaunce54]

If you've "paid your debt to society" by serving your sentence, you should get ALL of your rights back. If you can't be trusted with your rights, then you shouldn't be roaming around freely.

[Cuchulainn]

And forgiveness is forgiveness. Once someone has done their time and is a contributing member of society, they should have a path to be able to vote.

Again, I personally don't think it should be right away. The person should be able to show that they are now a contributing member to society and a period of time should have passed.

Republicans are just mad because this law disproportionately affects minority voters. They can only win by closing voting locations and shortening the time people have to vote. If they have such great ideas, why don't they want everyone to vote?

[Evolutionary1]

They have to register which will take more than two days for most of them

Virginia is lost anyway

Glad to know that you think someone who is a degenerate and obtains a felony should some how have all the same rights as someone who is civilized and doesn't break the law. What rational are you using because it doesn't make sense to me. Let me give you a scenario using your logic. So four guys that are 19 rape your daughter multiple times. They go to prison and obtain felonies. With your logic they are given forgiveness after they serve their time so they should be able to have all liberties back like nothing happened and their felonies should be ignored. Is this truly your thinking?

[CalmWind]

This is why I hate early voting. It allows the cheaters to calibrate the results to their liking, based on early votes.

This is corruption of the highest kind. Creating 60k new voters in time to vote, probably most of them minorities who will vote democrat.

Do you think felons should be able to own guns as well?

"Forgiveness" doesn't mean anything. The liberal obsession with criminals is beyond surreal. No wonder liberal cities are crime ridden.

If only liberals were getting murdered/robbed by the criminals they love I wouldn't care. But that doesn't always happen - conservatives are in danger as well.

They don't "pay their debt" by just serving though. By sacrificing their voting rights, that's one of their payments.

Changing the topic. Lets talk about voting. I stand by my earlier statement on being able to vote after showing that they are a contributing member of society and after a period of time.

He obviously wasn't trying to wait for them to become contributing members of society if he went through 60k without even reviewing them on a case by case basis. Obvious liberal voting scheme is obvious

Nice deflection again you fail to show why they should have all rights restored and how this is a sham to get votes.

[Evolutionary1]

Lost all Faith in the Credibility of the Us gov

[p5165]

Don't forget to give them a welfare check. Liberal plantation at work. Defending the rights of criminals in hopes to get a Democrat vote in return.

So child molesters who did their time should be allowed near parks, and schools?

[Ramoneb87]

Would you make the same argument for their right to own firearms?

[dhawkeye1980]

Would you make the same argument for their right to own firearms?

This is a moot argument, heres the thing, there should be no laws restricting firearm ownership or possession, what laws there should be are CRIMES involving firearms. You use a firearm in a crime, automatic 20 years, no parole, homicide, death penalty. Use a high cap mag, another 5 years etc

[lockdev]

Virginia politics in general are among the most corrupt in the country. That goes for both Republicans and Democrats.

Joe Morrissey, Bob McDonnell, Phil Hamilton, Levar Stoney, Tim Kaine, McAuliffe, the entire local government in Norfolk, the Elizabeth River Tolls fiasco(corrupt foreign company bought rights to toll 3 bridges, donated tens of thousands to Democrats), the list goes on and on.

The scary thing is, it goes on out in the open and they don't even try to hide it anymore.
