I don't know...the Real ID Act seemed like a good idea, but it appears to be a national ID, that will require another bureaucracy to administer the data base. It hardly seems like a decentralizing act...

Well said.

"I can't stand the idea of Hillary Clinton with Bill back in the White House becaus as bad as things are now, they'll be far worse if she lands there in 2008."

I too, could not stand the idea of Hillary Clinton as President. But that will only happen if Republican party continues to veer left, in search of a bigger and bigger tent.

I'll still vote for solid conservative Republicans, but the party will not get any more financial support from me, and I have already registered as an independent. It's my way of protesting this b.s.

Well, I certainly understand. I'll probably follow you if the Republicans veer any more to the center, become even more evasive to and about conservative concerns. So, I do agree with you to a great degree...
