Yeah, we're in favor of voter fraud like what happened in 2000

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

Instead of taking advantage of our remarkable position, Bush

No, you didn't:

How do you propose low income people pay for the passport? They're

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.

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.

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.

I've carried a 'national' ID card for decades, and have had a passport
for decades. I've lost none of my 'freedoms' of which I'm aware. I
paid for my passport, and I would expect others to do the same. If
'the poor' can't legitimately afford a passport, then one should be
provided them.

Of course, I'd expect them to show their ID, or passport, for voting,
healthcare, school registration, etc, etc.

Jesus H. Christ!!! That's about as absurd as John saying that his
passport is the same as the national ID card that the goverment was
trying to push. You analogy of carrying ID isn't the same as an ID card
with a tracking chip, etc. What you are proposing is like the Nazi's in

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.

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.
The problem with a national ID card is it takes away the Democrats best
election tool, voter fraud... They will never let it happen.

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.

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???

Jesus H. Christ!!! That's about as absurd as John saying that his
passport is the same as the national ID card that the goverment was
trying to push. You analogy of carrying ID isn't the same as an ID card
with a tracking chip, etc. What you are proposing is like the Nazi's in
Germany.

Why are you bringing up tracking chips? Did the Nazi's in Germany have
tracking chips? Or was it the Nazi's *not* in Germany that had the
tracking chips?

Again, I guess it's over your head.
