Don’t you need ID to get an ID?

Dem po’ folks don’t want to wear out their I.D.s using them to vote. They need them to cash a check, rent a movie, buy beer and smokes and to attend DemocRAT “rallies” and “fundraisers”.

[driftless2]

Just a typical devious ploy by Dems. They know the odds are far more likely they’ll cheat than Republicans. They want the odds in their favor....the less measures to counter voter fraud, the more Dems get elected. Simple as that.

What about ObamaCare? You need an ID to get set up for ObamaCare, and ObamaCare is required. If you don't have Obamacare, you have another approved health care plan, which also will require an ID. So everyone in this country either has an ID, or is in violation of the law anyway.

Good point...no, great point. I hope the Pubs use this against the lyin’ Dims, til the cows come home to vote.

Or buying booze?

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the birth certificate is the key ID you need to get other IDs, such as driver’s licenses or passports.

You need ID to use your healthcare insurance. My doctors require an ID at every visit even though I've been going to them for several years now. I also had to produce an ID at the hospital for bloodwork and outpatient surgery recently.

There are way too many things that require ID. For instance opening a checking account, cashing checks, etc., etc., also Social Security Numbers are used for ID for many things even though by Law there are not supposed to.

The premise and illogic that poor people, certain ethnic groups, etc., should not have to show ID to prove ID to vote does not hold water, you have to have ID to register to vote. Everyone in society has to have some form of ID to engage in basic commerce.

So if the rule is you don't need ID to prove who you are to vote then why do we need any ID to do anything??????????

[Captain Peter Blood]

YES you do?

They say that the Texas law that was just upheld by SCOTUS allows a passport as an ID.That’s certainly a start...at least it shows you’re a US citizen.But it doesn’t show where you live.*I* have a US passport and don’t live within 2,000 miles of the Texas border...but it looks like I could vote there if I tried.

[Vince Ferrer]

In fact, what republicans should do is require the Obamacare ID to vote. That way, a liberal judge can either rule that yes, ID is required to vote, because it is not a burden to require an ID that they already have, or no, a citizen is not required to have a health care ID, which will make ObamaCare optional. Let them choose which poison they wish to drink.

[SkyDancer]

But how do you prove that that BC is yours?

[Jane Long]

Maybe not require it (0bolaCare ID) to vote, but allow it as a form of acceptable ID. That’d get the same point across, no?

You have to have ID to get an 0bola ID.

[smokingfrog]

Birth certificates can be forged.

Going to work is too much of a burden.

[Arm_Bears]

The income tax is too much of a burden on honest, hard-working Americans.

Try that one.
