[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Republicans are right on this one. Citizenship should mean something.  You want to vote and participate in government, become a citizen. There is a well-established process for that.  The votes of citizens should never be outweighed by those of non-citizens.  This shouldn't even be controversial.[/quote]

This nonsense, right here is why Republicans still have the votes of moderates and some independents.This nonsense, right here is why Republicans still have the votes of moderates and some independence.

I realize this doesn’t matter in Washington DC but nationally it does. [/quote]

Agree 100%.  Allowing non-citizens to vote is simply stupid.  I have lived overseas on several occasions in democratic countries, and would never have even thought that I somehow was entitled in their elections. [/quote]

Plenty of countries allow non-citizens to vote in local elections. It’s a sensible idea and very much in keeping with America’s founding values.[/quote]

This is a throw away line spoken by people who have no idea what they are talking about.

There is a difference between the US and a commonwealth country. And they love parroting Canada, but Canada suspended the practice. In fact, most countries that at one time passed a similar law, suspended the law before it went into action or immediately after. But keep thinking you can move to Hong Kong and vote in Chinese elections. [/quote]
