Not to mention, I’m pretty sure one needs a government ID to sign up for and receive “benes” (welfare).

Funny how no one seems to have a problem finding an ID for that.

This guy’s got a plan to win...He might succeed...

not with my vote

[onedoug]

You can say that again.

[publius911]

This guy is shaping up to take over for John McCain.

That's not an easy task for a rational human being...

Wait.
Never mind!

[right way right]

This guy is running for somthing?

Runt Paul for President! Woo! Wooo!

[itsahoot]

Has anyone else noticed that? And can anyone explain any legitimate legal reasoning behind this?

Yes, but

What Difference Does It Make?

[publius911]

Great point. I never thought of that. Arrest warrants.

I am waiting for the explosion of outrage when the applicants for "free" healthcare "insurance" realize that they are divulging a lot more than an ID application form would. Infinitely more.
Complete incrimination, including the means to pursue fraud, the lifeblood of the parasite grievance industry.

[FreeAtlanta]

Sadly, it seems that Hillary’s comment is the motto for the current political class. There is zero honor among them.

[Iscool]

not with my vote

Not mine either...But he's fishing for that illegal Mexican and former felon vote...

[JimRed]

(2) IMHO, the question of “Should felons vote?” might consider rewarding former felons who have truly turned their lives around.

I could live with that. I can NOT live with the degree of fraud that will be enabled by no-ID policies.

[VRWC For Truth]

Ru Paul is dancing with the ‘Rat party.

[BobL]

How about us people that DO NOT want to see our vote NEUTRALIZED by someone “in the city” that votes 12 times? Do we not count?

We conservatives would have given him a lot of leeway, but with AMNESTY, FELON VOTING RIGHTS, and DEFENDING VOTING FRAUD...I think we’re about through with him, at least on this site.

[houeto]

It can’t hurt to show them (African Americans) that we (Republicans) are willing to listen.

Them? We? Your comment could not be any more condescending than what you posted.

[RatRipper]

I don’t think anyone who casts an honest and legitimate vote wants their vote to be de-valued by fraudulent votes, and by extension, is highly unlikely to be offended by attempts to thwart voter fraud.

In other words, the only people we are offending ARE PRECISELY THE PEOPLE WE WANT TO OFFEND.

Senator Paul is talking nonsense.
