1. Is it if you're old enough to have been born when birth certificates weren't standard procedure? Or if you're actually so poor that the little fee it takes may stop you from getting to eat that day? It's clearly legislation to help Romney win, that's why it's so appalling. If it wasn't with a clear intent like that it wouldn't be as horrible.
  2. Thats nice. Mine cost 10 bucks. Some of the states passing these laws give you them for free.

  3. That might be true, and it might be true that it's not unreasonable, but as Olof pointed out, none of these changes the fact that this is a non-issue.
    If it were Iran with the whole voting fraud thing we have going on, I would insist on it. But in the US there is really no need for it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?
  4. Thats nice, but the amount of dead people, and felons that voted for Al Franken was bigger than the margin of error in that race.
  5. 10 bucks. That's probably a food for more than one day for someone who still has the right to vote I'd guess. Dunno.

    The gaffe mentioned at the beginning of the article makes it really disgusting

  7. Thats nice. Most of the poor in American have multiple t.v.s cell phones, and internet. They can spare 10 bucks, for something necessary.
  8. And what about those who were born when birth certificates weren't standard procedure? I think you must have one to get an ID, am I right? At least I don't think it would be that easy to fix one. Probably especially if you're old, like these people would be, and don't know how to use a computer.
  9. My grandmother is going on 74. She has never had problems getting I.D.

    Liberal logic 101. making someone buy health insurance as a condition of being alive=good.

    Making someone get an I.D. to prove they are who they say they are before executing one of there most important rights (and that they need it for a number of other things anyway)=bad.
  10. Does a homeless person have the right to vote? Who perhaps has to beg people for money to get a meal? I think someone like that could like ten bucks.
  11. ID is required in Holland as well. Expired ones (up to 10? years old) count as well.
  12. Price of an ID is 40 euros here, passport is 48. So in that perspective, it is not that bad.
