The fallacy underlying the "scrubbed voter roll" theory is that these people would have voted in any event. Voter participation in this country even with respect to average Joe Citizen non-felons is abysmally low. Is it reasonable to expect that convicted felons (albeit ones who have served their sentences) are sufficiently civic minded that they are likely to have voted en masse?

I think you and I know the answer to that question, even if I a Crap Minister (American Spirit rearranged) and some of the other demolibs don't.

Criminals & gullible Michael Moore believers will vote for Kerry. All other Americans will re-elect GW.

Jeb denied the rights of non-criminals to vote. Jeb denied them that right simply because they had the same name as someone who had lost their right to vote. He also deprived the rights of those who'd been granted clemency. Don't try to distort the facts please. Jeb denied thousands their legal right to vote and of course they were mostly blacks who would have voted for Gore, or in 2002, McBride.

And also you are called out. You have to prove I'm a liar now or apologize to me and the thread.
