WHO SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE? SHOULD ANYBODY VOTE? SHOULD ANYBODY EVER LOSE THAT RIGHT?

ROGER CLEGG/PJM:

There are only four groups of people who are generally not allowed to vote in the U.S. now, and the Left wants to enfranchise more of all of them: children, criminals, noncitizens, and the mentally ill.

Now, no doubt—as National Review’s Jonah Goldberg has observed—much of this is politically driven: The Left thinks that all these groups (with the possible exception of the latter) are more likely to vote with them than against them, and it may well be right.

• CLEGG DOES A LOT OF POSTURING AND OVER-ANALYZING OF THE ISSUE.

• IT'S REALLY SIMPLE: IF YOU CAN'T WIN ELECTIONS WITH LAW-ABIDING ADULT CITIZENS YOU SHOULDN'T BE ON THE BALLOT.

• EVERYONE IN THE WORLD IS NOT A US CITIZEN.
  
• AND THEY HAVE NO HUIMAN RIGHT TO BECOME ONE AUTOMATICALLY, EITHER.
  
• THEY DON'T ALL PAY OUR TAXES, OR FIGHT IN OUR WARS, OR LEARN TO MAKE OUR HISTORY THEIR HISTORY.

• CITIZENSHIP IS A PRIVILEDGE.

• AND EVERYTHING THE LEFT WANTS TO DO WOULD MAKE IT LESS SO.

BTW: IF YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT AND OPPOSE GIVING FELONS AND NON-CITIZENS, NON-ENGLISH-SPEAKERS AND CHILDREN THE VOTE, THEN WHY NOT LEAVE THEM, ONCE AND FOR ALL!?

IF THE DEMOCRATS DON'T VALUE VOTING AS MUCH AS YOU DO THEN THEY DON'T DESERVE YOUR VOTE.
