ACORN

[eppie]

Hi,
See my reply to kandrathe on this issue.
No. You asked a rhetorical question and used that as a launching point to tell us in the USA why we do it all wrong and why you Europeans (inventors of communism, fascism, and Nazism -- all systems that believe heavily in well documented citizens) do it so damned much better.

There we go again.
I asked this because I had no idea there was any voter fraud going on. The first post in this thread suggest some fraud going on before voting has taken place, and I have my doubts.
If you end up with a more than 100 % turn up I would suggest changing the system.....a system where everybody can without problems vote 2, 5, 100 times seems to be far worse than a system where a government knows your social security number and wants to see your ID when you are speeding.

Does that make it right? You need a license to drive, and that is OK. You need a license to hunt, and that is not too bad. But should you need a license just to exist?

And I find it hard to understand why I should have to prove anything when I'm just moving along, minding my own business and asking the rest of the word to do the same.

That is fine with me. But then don't bother voting and don't bother complaining about what your government does.Also don't complain if somebody drives or hunts without a license.

The only function of a national database is to give the federal government more information, thus more control, over the individual than it already has.

That and to see who can vote.
Ps when you fly to Europe do you have to give them your finger prints? Because I have to when I go to the US. And although I get annoyed by that I can imagine they do these things. But for the same reason I would not see the problem with a database of legal people.

And the fact that you do not know there is a difference between a republic and a democracy, what that difference is, why it matters, and haven't (after it was pointed out to you) bothered researching it is exactly why we cannot have a rational discussion.

please

So? Do you think the actions of ACORN are free? Even the legal ones? How much effort and cost should the government go to in order to solve what is, at most, a minor problem?

So the reason that you never end up with a 200% turnup at elections is that apart from ACORN the rest of the US is 100% honest'
