They don't pay to vote. They pay for a photo ID which they should have gotten their irresponsible asses a long time ago anyways.
We have to show ID in norway when voting, and unless you have a income+atm card, then you gotta get a passport and they cost 140 USD. They used to cost double but was recently reduced.
People don't ing need pillows sown in under their arms. Unless you sweat as much as me. |

I think you're analysis doesn't really stand up under the realities, here. I understand where it's coming from but you're missing some key pieces of information that you almost have to experience, first hand, to really know what you're talking about. I'll try and explain it better, in the future, but it's just not as simple as you're making it out to be. |

i disagree with this, at least in terms of degree. the US would've invaded afghanistan regardless of who was in power. the US had to "get even" for 911, and i think that's fair enough.
debatable whether the iraq invasion would've happened, i would suggest probably not. but it wasn't just the GOP who wanted to punch more sand niggers in the nose.
the financial crisis would have occurred pretty much as it did regardless of who was in the white house.
that's the big 3 issues re "the world and the united states" imo. |

| i don't even think bush was all that bad to be honest. his ineptitude with the spoken word made him an easy scapegoat at a time when everyone wanted a scapegoat. too bad. he was middling as a president, ineffective, impotent, whatever. i saw that historians rank him towards the bottom of the pack now but i feel that, over time, his position in history will improve. slightly. |

all tax cuts have done is increase your deficits and accumulated debt. while i agree that it has been a terrible policy i don't see that either the US or the world would be "entirely different places" had there been no cuts. same goes for the medicaid drug subsidy bill (expected to cost up to 10 trillion over the next decade or 2). |

they have this system where you need to send the registration within 48 hours. Pretty much an impossible time line. At least in florida where this seems to be an issue. |

7. Kansas. That's actually an allusion to the book, What's the Matter with Kansas by Thomas Frank. He discusses the Christian Right; what Nixon referred to as the Moral Majority. Democrats were largely lionized as godless, Volvo-driving, latte-sipping, arugula chewing, hedonistic child-molesters who hated Christ and all the "freedoms" he stood for while they tried to kill any baby who wouldn't immediately convert to homosexual atheism. With the Devil, himself, seducing that poor woman for a cigar and a blow-job, the power of Christ compelled a large cross-section of the Lord's humble servants for four more years. |
You ought to be a journalist or summit, anyone ever mentioned that to you? |
