"Al and Easy, you need to accept the fact there is no right to vote."
You need to accept that fact that you're still wrong.
"but rather the right of all qualified citizens to vote"
And the Amendments mentioned above keep states from disqualifying the overwhelming majority of people. Thus, you've just confirmed my point.
That quote from the Bush v. Gore decision is incomplete and misleading. Here is the full quote:
"The individual citizen has no federal constitutional right to vote for electors for the President of the United States unless and until the state legislature chooses a statewide election as the means to implement its power to appoint members of the Electoral College."
You've just provided two great examples that affirm the fact that there is a right to vote.
"Nice try Easy. Earlier you were saying people had the right to vote. Why don't you show me where it says in the Bill of Rights or the entire Constitution where you have the right to vote."
Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, Section 2:
"But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State."
Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, Section 1:
"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution:
"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."
Twenty-sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution, Section 1:
"The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age."
"Nice try Easy. Earlier you were saying people had the right to vote."
I never once said "people had the right to vote", liar.
Would you like to try one more time? You're fading fast.
"Easy, if voting is a right then why was Jessie Jackson Jr. in 2005 trying to A Proposed Amendment to Establish a Constitutional Right to Vote in America?"
Because there isn't a specific Amendment that explicitly ensures the right to vote. It is implicit throughout the Amendments I mentioned above though.
The fact that you are a "trough-pig" and you have the audacity to refer to anyone else by that name is highly ironic.
You feed from the public trough. When you refer to anyone else as a "trough-pig", waddle your little pork cutlets over to a mirror and oink till you puke.
Come to think of it, I thought I smelled bacon after a few of those "bitch-slaps" and now I know why. Come back for more if you're feeling porky, you geriatric, "47 percent" "taker".
"Felons did not lose their right to vote because no one has the right to vote in a federal election as along as the 14th, 15th, 19th, and 26th Amendments are not violated."
You're wrong. It's that simple.
"So you are admitting there are some felons, which include those who are out of prison that will never be re-established to vote?"
When did I ever deny that? You simply don't understand that that fact is absolutely irrelevant to your claim that no one has the right to vote in a federal election.
Losing your rights is built in to being a felon. Once you are convicted of a felony, you give up most of you rights. The fact you are trying to push as proof of your claim does not serve as any sort of affirmation whatsoever.
American citizens over the age of 18 do, in fact, have a right to vote in Federal, State and local elections.

You've got them reeling so badly that the haters are calling you a hater. Keep it up.

riverman,
You are a racist. You are ignorant. You are highly illogical. I could go on, but you get the picture.

Or quotes like this from Rep. Paul Broun, who just happens to be on the House Science Committe:
"All that stuff I was taught about evolution, embryology, Big Bang theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of hell."
You can't make this sh!t up!

Headlines like this are why Republicans/Conservatives are becoming a punch line:

May I add, Michael Burgess is the vice chairman of the House Subcommittee on Health.
