Letter to the Editor,
Desperately seeking votes
Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie
Sanders wants convicted criminals to vote while they are in prison. Of
course, he wants them to vote for him to be in the White House serving as
President, while they are in the “big house” serving their time of incarceration.
Convicted criminals constitute a substantial voting block and
can make a decisive difference in a national election. It is estimated there
are more criminals in jails than there are students in colleges or
universities. Apparently both groups are radically left-leaning in their
politics.
Sanders, speaking like all benevolent, big-hearted socialists,
said: “You committed a crime, you’re in jail. But you’re still living in
American society and you have a right to vote. “Socialist Sanders” sounds great
to both prisoners and pupils.
And speaking of pupils, House Speaker, Democratic Congresswoman
Nancy Pelosi, is in favor of lowering the voting age to 16. Yes, Sweet Sixteen
year-olds voting, how sweet is that for Democrats! Barely post-pubescent and
still “wet behind their ears” teenage boys and girls just entering high school,
having the privilege and the right to vote for all the “goodies” that will make
their little hearts giddy with joy.
Pelosi said with a straight face, "I think it's really
important to capture kids when they're in high school, when they're
interested in all of this, when they're learning about government, to be able
to vote."
All the Democrats are in favor of illegal immigrants voting, but
apparently don’t want them living in their sanctimoniously set-up “sanctuary
cities”. Then why do they falsely advertise their cities as welcoming centers
of hospitality, only to reject them when they do come into their localities. Democrats
are in favor of having them vote for their candidates, but voting somewhere
else, not in their neighborhoods.
What’s next . . . any
intergalactic space-travelers landing in the United States can also vote!
All this because Democrats would rather score political points
than do what is best for our country.
The Democrats must be really desperate for votes!
