How do you propose low income people pay for the passport? They're not cheap these days. Yeah, we're in favor of voter fraud like what happened in 2000 in Florida? right. Fraud? Nope. Just a few mis counted votes, hanging chad and the fact that Al gore kept demanding recounts until he was declared winner. Total fraud. Yet after Bush was elected by the Supreme Court, loyal Americans accepted the result. We didn't question that Bush was the president. After 9/11, Bush had something like 90% approval rating in the polls. The vast majority of the world were sympathetic and supportive. Instead of taking advantage of our remarkable position, Bush squandered it in a war of choice. Tens of thousands died, and we're much worse off, politically, financially, and morally. Now, answer the question. Already did, sweetie. No, you didn't: How do you propose low income people pay for the passport? They're not cheap these days. If we are to end up paying for health care for the poor, and not including illegal immigrants, then I've no problem with providing the poor a free passport. That could then be an ID requirement for the free healthcare. -- John H Illegal immigrants are exempt from signing up for the various healthcare programs winding their way through Congress. So, you don't mind a national id card? That's quite a statement. Saying, "That's quite a statement" is quite a statement. I said I agree with everyone being required to have a passport. It hasn't killed one European that I know of. -- John H So you believe in a national id card program? Wow... that's pretty much diametrically opposed to the Right's view of gov't intrusion into "our" lives. Would you like to rethink this or are you going to stick to your guns? I certainly have absolutely no problem with having a national id. Of course, there are logistical problems, including cost, ability to prevent forgeries, etc. -- Nom=de=Plume |

It hasn't killed one European that I know of. The problem with a national ID card is it takes away the Democrats best election tool, voter fraud... They will never let it happen. Well, the pup says that the Republicans in Florida were the voter fraud folks. So it would seem they'd be in favor of a national ID just to stop the Republican voter fraud. Something doesn't ring true here. Hopefully the pup will explain hisheritself. -- John H Something sure doesn't ring true. You don't sound like much of a Republican or Libertarian to me: http://epic.org/privacy/id-cards/ Americans have rejected the idea of a national ID card. When the Social Security Number (SSN) was created in 1936, it was meant to be used only as an account number associated with the administration of the Social Security system. Though use of the SSN has expanded considerably, it is not a universal identifier and efforts to make it one have been consistently rejected. In 1971, the Social Security Administration task force on the SSN rejected the extension of the Social Security Number to the status of an ID card. In 1973, the Health, Education and Welfare Secretary's Advisory Committee on Automated Personal Data Systems concluded that a national identifier was not desirable. In 1976, the Federal Advisory Committee on False Identification rejected the idea of an identifier. In 1977, the Carter Administration reiterated that the SSN was not to become an identifier, and in 1981 the Reagan Administration stated that it was "explicitly opposed" to the creation of a national ID card. The Clinton administration advocated a "Health Security Card" in 1993 and assured the public that the card, issued to every American, would have "full protection for privacy and confidentiality." Still, the idea was rejected and the health security card was never created. In 1999 Congress repealed a controversial provision in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 which gave authorization to include Social Security Numbers on driver's licenses. -- Nom=de=Plume |

No, the problem(s) with a national ID card is that our basic freedoms will be lost and gone forever. Cost. They are estimating the program will cost upwards of $23 billion, plus they'll have to run the program year to year. Thought you were for SMALLER government? I've had a passport for over thirty years. I know of no 'basic freedoms' I've lost forever. Do you have any idea WTF you're talking about? Yes, I'm talking about a National ID card. Issuing a passport to the poor would cost $23 billion a year? That's pure horse**** and you know it. -- John H Again, a NATIONAL ID CARD.....did you READ it? It is my responsibility to carry an id card, since I was a young boy. Why should only certain folks be allowed to go without them now? So they can game the system??? -- Wafa free since 2009 |

If you can't prove citizenship, to they kick you out unto the curb? Why not carry passports? Europeans do it, and it hasn't killed any of them. Hell, it might even reduce voter fraud. Oh, wait a minute, liberals are in *favor* of voter fraud. I forgot. -- John H Please show me where any liberal EVER said that they were "in favor of voter fraud" or apologize for the lie. I bet Harry has uttered those words before, especially if it creates one party rule like we have now. And if you think there are not millions of other idiots like him around, you are not paying attention. And what does that have to do with me? Are you responsible for every word uttered by any conservative? You said "show me where *any* liberal... " And Harry is certainly a liberal, no? I'll bet good money Harry never said he was "in favor of voter fraud". Ergo, John owes an apology. Go read all of plum's posts. You'll find it. Ergo, no apology. -- John H The burden is on you. You are the one who said that liberals were "in favor of voter fraud". Who said that and where? I wouldn't expect you to apologize. Harry has never apologized for his political lies either. |

Think PASSPORT loogy, and then get back to me. I already have a national ID card. Sure didn't cost any $23 billion. Tell me what freedoms I've lost? Tell me what freedoms a passport causes one to lose. What freedoms would a 'national ID card' cause one to lose that a passport wouldn't? -- John H Apparently it's over your head John. The National ID card idea wasn't a friggin' passport. Two different things. |

That's a lie unless a liberal actually said they were for voter fraud. And again, I'll bet GOOD money that Harry never said he was in favor of voter fraud. Harry's a fat asshole, a bigot and a lot of other things, but I'd bet good money he never said that. |
