Don't most, if not all, states requiring a photo ID provide one free of charge? I believe they do. How is obtaining the free ID any more of a hassle than obtaining a fishing/hunting license, bank card, driver's license, etc.?

The civic duty is to know what you are voting for rather than voting for what a party says you must vote for.

Please tell us what the agenda is that you can see, that isn't written.

So now you are claiming to be a victim of a Poll Tax?

Are you sure you're a Republican?

Oh yes, I'm definitely a Republican, a Classic Republican like the original Radical Republicans. I'm not a "social conservative". Big difference.

You forgot I oppose the income tax and support the FairTax.

On E-Verify, I don't oppose it, I just don't think it will work the way people sit around at their desks dreaming it will. E-Verify does nothing to stop the employer who knowingly hires illegal aliens and that's most of the employers who hire illegal aliens. E-Verify protects the employer from unintentionally hiring illegal aliens, and there's very few of those. Most know and do it deliberately. E-Verify won't stop that. At least I don't understand how it would.

On late term abortion, I don't support it in all circumstances, I just think the decision should be up to the girl/woman and her doctor, not you or a bunch of stupid politicians. Generally, I support the guidelines of Roe V Wade. If states want to get involved in the late term, after 26 weeks or whatever it is, that's their choice to do under that Supreme Court Ruling. Feds should stay out of it.

On school prayer, I oppose it in public schools. Private schools can do whatever they want.

Well, geez, take my mom: you're 81, don't drive, your license has expired, you had a stroke that left your left-side disabled, you're in a wheel-chair and don't want to have to order copies of your birth certificate from another state, go to some public hole in the wall with your wheel-chair to roll in and have your picture taken and fill out a form, etc., etc., etc., to vote in a country your ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War to establish, because of people like you.

People are not home bound. They go to Doctor's appointments, grocery store, shopping, out to eat.

They can go get an ID. And if they are too old to get one now...why did they not get an ID 10 years ago?

They had no ID their whole life?

Life is inconvenient...we have to do many things that are a hassle. Or we get help getting it done.

PASS NATIONAL VOTER ID LAW!

A lot won't do it so I think the result in most elections in those states is a voter suppression that actually ends up hurting Republicans. Voting shouldn't be a hassle. It should be easy and enjoyable.

Cop out. Geez, be a good daughter and help your mom. I'm sure she would enjoy spending time with you.

The easier you make voting, the more susceptible to fraud the system becomes. Voting is a huge responsibility and should require at least a little effort.

Help her how exactly?
