    I find it surprising that republicans, who think they need their guns to defend against government tyranny, are okay with people being disenfranchised because they didn't follow the government's rules.

    Dangerous felons and those who sell highly toxic and highly addictive narcotics to pregnant women and children should not even be allowed to live, much less vote.

    How much longer until they begin demanding that prison inmates should be allowed, no... Required to vote while incarcerated?

    And so as to not be labeled hypocrites, I'm sure the Democrats will want the 2A rights of felons restored right?

    Uh...letting felons vote would give votes to the Republicans too. It's certainly a fun and amusing stereotype to believe that being in prison turns you into a Democrat. There might even be some polls that reinforce that stereotype, ones that sampled a massive number of people, maybe even as high as :eekeyes:2,000 respondents!:eyepopping:

    But the reality is, going to prison isn't going to change you into voting for somebody like Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders if you would have been voting for a Republican(if you even vote) when you were on the outside. This is just another massively repeated nugget of stupid.

    It's going to be a mix of folks when you consider the prison population.

    Do you by chance feel the same way about prescription drug dealers and cigarette vendors?

    Dems control 36 fewer states today than they did in 2008. So where they control the State, they can run up the popular vote, but it won't help them in the electoral college vote.

    Okay, so lets say a Novatias or Bayer or some other large pharma Co. deliberately make a product that harmful and addictive that caused thousands to suffer and die as consequence. Would you not want those responsible fined and jailed?

    I say, of course. So there is no reason any person connected to the illegal narcotics trade should not likewise be sued and fined and imprisoned and have their voting rights taken away.

    Tobacco Companies have payed billions in fines and put warning labels on their smokes.

    Why don't your scumbag drug dealers put warning labels on their bags of dope????

    The three largest Democratic voting blocs:

    1) illegal aliens
    2) felons
    3) the dead

    You said those that sell should not be allowed to live, let alone vote.

    Well, guess who the biggest dope dealers in America are. Pharmaceutical companies. Are you ok with expanding the death penalty to the cigarette vendors and the pharmaceutical companies? If anyone is going to focus on drugs, they should look more into the legal drugs than anything else. Listen to all the side effects of all those drugs.

    Also, I would like a direct answer to the question I gave you. I'm be checking for double standards.

    Sorry, I do mean hang most hardcore drug dealers in most circumstances.

    Those that sell the worst narcotics, Meth, Heroin, Cocaine and have been convicted of doing so over 3 times---hang em'.

    Those that get caught ONCE for selling the above to a child under 17 or a pregnant woman (even if she isn't showing)---hang em'.

    Those gangstas who commit a violent felony as member of a ruthless street or prison gang---hang em'.

    An executive or researcher from any phama Co. who pushes through a dangerous drug that they have withheld or fudged data on---hang them as well. Being in the medical field, ALL these meds have warning labels about serious side effects, and a package insert that explains almost everything else under the sun that can go wrong. Take meds at your own risk.

    Tobacco is natural product like alcohol. The bad side effects are well known. People with any intelligence knew they were bad even before the Surgeon Gernerals warning back in the 1960's. All these products now carry warnings. So anyone who smokes is going to have a 10-fold risk of health problems, and anyone who drinks runs about a 1 in 10 risk of alcoholism. Narcotics are usually synthetic and have addiction rates around 30% and are far more dangerous. Let the people smoke and drink, but I don't think the taxpayers should fund their hospital visits.

    So you are ok with hanging pharma co execs, but I notice you have exceptions (loop holes) on it, but kill the street dealer no questions asked despite them pushing less addictive and less lethal drugs.

    "Take meds at your own risk?" Why not have the same attitude for some of the drug dealers you don't like?

    FYI, drinking is more dangerous than heroine and cocaine.

    depends, if your addicted to booze, but not heroine, then the booze is worse

    the addiction is really the issue, regardless if it's an addiction to one or the other

    an addiction to running or eating can be bad for you too....

    Isn't it telling how many problematic groups in society - felons, illegal aliens, single mothers, the unemployable on welfare, etc - all tend to vote Democrat in overwhelming percentages? Maybe it's just an interesting coincidence?

    FYI, your INFO is quite incorrect:

    http://www.drugrehab.ca/what-is-the-life-expectancy-of-a-methamphetamine-addict.html

    http://www.drugrehab.ca/what-is-the-life-expectancy-of-a-crack-cocaine-addict.html

    ON THE OTHER HAND:


    Researchers concluded that excessive alcohol consumption damages both mind and body.
    Most are fully aware that heavy drinking is hard on the body, but a new study revealed alcoholism actually reduces one’s lifespan by an average of 7.6 years.

    https://www.thefix.com/content/alcoholism-shortens-lifespan-nearly-decade-study-finds


    So, heavy drinking will take about 8 years off your life, and using mega-dangerous narcotics like crack will usually kill you in just 5 years.

    Drug dealers into such awful things deserve the rope.

    For the same reasons they want illegals to vote and minors to vote-anything for the party.

    Leftists would (and to an extent have) sell this country up the creek for their politics.

    Its the lefty way.

    Let's say that you have a good point. Why wouldn't you consider the same punishment for pharmaceutical companies among cocaine, heroine, and meth dealers? It seems odd to be lenient towards white collar drug dealers and become so harsh with street dealers when they both are doing the same thing.

    That isn't the stereotype. They're lefties before being convicted, and being convicted of a crime doesn't turn a lefty into a righty. It just means you have a lot of potential democrat votes not being adequately counted.

    This is also why lefties don't mind open borders. Let lots of uneducated people into the country illegally, give them obamaphones, obamafare, and obamcare, and then kick back and wait for them to vote D. We all know how this works, and we know that it does work.

    The Democrats know how to win elections. The Republicans don't.

    Meh, I don't buy it. Just because you cited some study, doesn't mean much. I'm sure there's just as many studies claiming the opposite.
