There is such a thing as not wanting certain types of suppor, ya know?
A simple sign in the window of the local Barack Obama campaign headquarters has reignited a conversation about convicted felons’ right to vote in this country.
The poster board welcomed all passersby to register to vote and included the statement: “Felons can vote.” The sign, which was visible at the office opening a week ago, has since been removed.
A lifesize cardboard printout of the presumptive Democratic nominee for president has replaced the sign. A spokesman from the Philadelphia campaign office said this decision was made at the local level.
“They just realized maybe it was sending the wrong message and took it down themselves,” Sean Smith said.
Yeah, no kidding. Come on, Obamaniacs, do you really want to troll for votes amongst the jailbirds and ‘scapegallows of the United States? I realise that a person can find redemption – in fact, such a thing is central to my worldview – but to actively seek the votes of criminals? For crying out loud, shouldn’t they be working on bettering themselves and shouldn’t the Obama people be working on getting people who aren’t criminals to vote for them? Or is it that Obama’s people realise he’s on a downward slurge and they are just leaving no stone unturned? How long before we see the Kerry ’04 tactic of bribing homeless people with smokes?
