Birds of a Feather

By DEVLIN BARRETT, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a possible White House candidate in 2008, joined 2004 nominee John Kerry and other Democrats Thursday in urging that Election Day be made a federal holiday to encourage voting. She also pushed for a law allowing felons to vote. Well, of course she did. Hillary knows that there are 4.7 million felons out there who vote Democrat 65 to 90 percent of the time.

Standing with Massachusetts Sen. Kerry and other Democrats who had alleged voting irregularities in the 2004 contest, Clinton said, "Once again we had a federal election that demonstrates we have a long way to go."

"I think it's also necessary to make sure our elections meet the highest national standards," said the New York senator.

According to the Dems, allowing thieves, rapists, killers, kidnappers, etc. to vote makes sure our elections will meet the highest national standards. Well, it would at least meet the standards that democrats set for themselves.
