When I bought my cell phone (ATT), I was required to show a picture ID as well as a bill of some sort to show proof of address.
I don't have photo ID. Never did. Never will. I had to show two pieces of ID, including one with an address to get a library card. I need the same ID to vote, which I find disturbing. I never used to need any kind of ID to vote.And our geese will blot out the sun.

My question is: Why don't you want them to vote? Are you afraid of what they might vote for? Fair treatment, maybe? The kind of things your government is sworn to uphold? Heaven knows you don't want a bunch of people coming in and pressuring the government to do what it's supposed to do. In short, I hope every leftist keeps claiming that there is no desire for illegals to vote....And our geese will blot out the sun.

Remember when we used to condemn the Soviets for restricting internal travel? I would call emulating them a step in the wrong direction. You need identification just to get something as simple as traveling domestically.And our geese will blot out the sun.

We used to have enumerators come around before every election and you'd tell them the name of every eligible voter in the house. Then they'd mail a card to every eligible voter and they were supposed to take it to the polling station - no ID required, and if the polling officer recognized you you didn't even need to show the card. Supposedly, all you need to cast a vote is the cheesy card board registration card they send. I just found mine; I'm going to try using only that next time I vote. Now they just make up the voters list from tax records and you have to show ID. I think it's more a matter of reducing costs than trying to prevent illegal voting.And our geese will blot out the sun.

Is that a huge problem? Does it even matter that much? One name can only vote once. How else are you going to know if the person voting is the actual person and not a friend or a family member?And our geese will blot out the sun.

To some extent, the role of government is to provide "stuff" for the people, whether in the form of goods or services. The problem we have is that some people are paying their fair share of taxes and not getting their fair share of stuff in return. Now you want to compound the problem by depriving them of the right to representation?
Yes! Free stuff for themselves. marc9000 writes:
Ever hear of the Bill of Rights? Can't find "fair treatment" in the Constitution for anyone, including illegals of course. Where do you find it?And our geese will blot out the sun.

What do you want to do? Leave it to the stormtroopers to slug it out? Why should the public pay for such controversial clashes between opposing ideologies?And our geese will blot out the sun.

They were fearful of the non-white minority in the first place. It seems appropriate that they'd also be fearful of white people who outnumber them. I have trouble feeling sympathy for people whose main tactics are fear and intimidation when they themselves are fearful and intimidated.And our geese will blot out the sun.

I once worked for a cleaning company that made me sign a non-disclosure agreement. Thankfully, the five year period is over now and I can get rich by selling all of their cleaning secrets. ... the outlandish claim that every employer requires similar agreements.And our geese will blot out the sun.

The trick is to get rid of Pence first. That way you have a chance of getting somebody halfway decent like Gerry Ford in the Oval Office.

It's mostly about giving Trump something he can crow about and take credit for - another "disaster" fixed by Trump. Maybe we can use the same con that Kim Jong Junior used. I am wondering if Trump will corner Trudeau and Freeland and force a deal that won't be as beneficial for Canada.And our geese will blot out the sun.

That's a fundamental misunderstanding of evolution. The "fittest" doesn't mean the ones with the biggest guns. We evolved as a social species because we are stronger as a group. The liberals and socialists understand that. Holing up in a fortified compound to fight society is not the best strategy for survival. He likely sees his heirs and the strongest of the blue collar base making it while the weaker liberals and socialists fall away. His American Dream is basically survival of the fittest.And our geese will blot out the sun.

I can just hear Trump at the Thanksgiving Day table:
"Dear Me, who art in the White House, hallowed be my name. My kingdom come. My will be done on earth as it is in heaven...." And our geese will blot out the sun.
